Little "SnOOney' is IN HOLLYWOOD,
but no one wants her. Snooney is
an outcast waif, so pathetic and
timid that you sympathize with her
and want to take her home.
However, cold, relentless movie
moguls refuse to befriend her They
want to spoil her-make her a
gangster's moll hard-boiled
woman of the world or another Mae
West.
But that's not for Snooney, who
is made of sterner stuff.
She is heard in the soulful ooh,
Mitter Warig" plea of Snooney on
Fred Warnings weekly radio broad
cast. It's a voice that reaches
through the loudspeaker and grips
listeners. Heartstrings have been
pulled by a human interest story of
mother that sacrificed everything
career glory and wealth-to give
her daughter every chance in the
world. That is the true story of
Snooney and her mother.
Barbara Is Tough
Out of character, Snooney is Bar
Bara Blain. Hard and exacting, she
harbors utmost disrespect for movie
producers. She asks no quarter and
returns none, demanding only that
her child character be granted an
opportunity to live on the screen.
Miss Blair wants to be a home
less, pitiful feminine replica of
Charlie Chaplin; producers want
her to be another Glenda Farrell, a
Joan Blondell or second Mae
West.
She is no child as is implied by
the feeble voice heard on the radio.
Ten years ago she won the Miss
Jersey City beauty title. She was
adjudged the "girl with the most
beautiful form in the United
States" but she is not proud of the
distinction and never has billed her
self as beauty contest winner. She
has appeared on the stage with her
Snooney act.
She Backs Snooney
The originator of the child char
acter insists she has something in
Snooney and is going to make the
picture in Hollywood if she has to
pay for it herself.
Miss Blair has been impolite to
Hollywood. She has insulted pro-
ducers and berated directors, but
still she was paid $500 a week, al
though she never has appeared on
the screen.
In her dealings with film mag
mates, she has exenplified the type
they want her to be on the screen,
but she has ruled thumbs down on
the idea.
1.-THE first thing I thought was
crazy in Hollywood was the screen
test" Miss Blair said. They gave
me a script to read which was an
insult to my intelligence. ! told
them that even for a test it was
lousy.
st asked them if they paid some
one to write that stuff. and they
told me to write my own. So I
wrote something kidding the whole
idea of screen test.
st told them how silly it was for
so many people standing around
watching me as if the world de-
pended on it. Then they wanted
me to become a second Mae West.
1 told them to stop right there.
They offered me a Joan Blon-
dell, and refused. They held up
production a while, and Miss Blon-
dell finally starred in the picture.
Then, I was to take a part with
Edward G. Robinson in a play called
Dark Tower, and because they were
paying me $500 week, I agreed

Some thought that Mickey Ser

frankie Blair had earned the duke
after a flashing 10-round welter-

bloody riot draw, thus satisfying
everybody.
Serrian went after Blair from
the opening bell and had some

half of the scrap. but the last five
rounds found Blair whiting away

1t happened in the days when
Ty Cobb, the Georgia Peach, was
in his heyday. battling for the
batting championship of the
American League and cutting
down Ill opposition. The Tigers
came to Washington to play a
double-header. and the usually
steady-at times brilliant George
Mcbride, acted in Scandalous
fashion. He bobbled few
grounders which Cobb's burning
speed converted into safe arrivals
at first base, and the official
scorer ruled "hit."
Macdonald Relates Incident
All of this developed around
the cozy board at Spalding's where
the genial Cy Macdonald held
forth:
"The twelfth man Of Dart
mouth really is a development
of WaShingtOn'S tenth man on
the Washington ball club" said
Macdonald. "It happened here
on a Saturday, a dOuble-header,
when Cobb was at his peak.
Every fan remembers how Cobb
used to take off for first base.
Mcbride was a good ShOrtstOp;
yes, a great one, but he had =
full respect for CObb'S speed.
"Ty hit three down there In
the first game and they were
all scored as hits, because, 1t
was said, Cobb was fast and
the hit was slow. The Peach
would have beaten the throw
anyway. Of course the crowd
thought that Mcbride was very
amateurish in his play, but in
those days we were used to see-
ing even Walter Johnson beaten
by a run or maybe two.
1--WE all went back to our
seats as the second game
started, and suddenly a great
shout and peals of laughter
rang through the stands.
FAN STAGGERS ON FIELD
"a fan steered a somewhat
unsteady course out to short
stop, picked up McBride's glove
and loudly called for the ball.
"The crowd cheered madly
for him, but the umpireS-I
think Silk OLOughlin was one
of them, although 1 would not
be certain-chaSed him off the
field.
"'GO up there and be a good
fellow said the eScOrting UNI
pire, and let the game go On."'
4 couldn't be any worse than
that guy retOrted the fan, and
could get plenty Of 8 to S that
he was entirely right in his con-
tentiOn.
MCBRIDE LAUGHS, TOO
Mcbride got a laugh out Of
it. and in the second game
played a lot better. Maybe it
just happened that way, but
maybe that tenth man made
George do a little thinking"

20 CiGno, foreign minister and
So1l-in-lGtO OF II Duce.
BY H. r. KNICKERBOCKER
Copyright, 1885, by International News
Service)
ROME, July 8.-The youngest
foreign minister in the world, the
first foreign minister of the newest
empire in the world, put his foot
down hard on the gas and our car
leaped to IS miles an hour.
Count Galeazzo Ciano, 33-year-
old head of the foreign office Of
the Italian empire, said:
What 1 like about Americans
is that they are good soldiers.
Nobody thinks of Americans as
soldiers, but 1 consider them
among the best in the world"
Ciano, with two military medals
from Ethiopia, knows what soldiers
are.
We were going so fast that the
wind screamed past the windshield
of the low-hung Alta Romeo and
the flowers along the speedway to
Ostia blurred into a single band
of color.
With the same speed Count
Ciano, son-in-law of Mussolini, has
flashed to the fore in italian poll
tics. Today among the statesmen
of the new Europe that has
emerged from the italian strug-
gle for world power, Count Ciano
is a man the continent watches.
Now not even the most Scepti-
cal can deny that Italy is a great
power. For the moment she is
probably the strongest military
power on the continent with an
airfleet second to none.
Defied 81 Nations
Her political prestige is un-
rivaIed. She defied So nations,
whipped the League of Nations
and called the bluff of Great
Britain. In a campaign unparal-
leled in colonial warfare she an
nexed Ethiopia and founded at
one stroke an empire which many
believe may prove a true heir to
the vast tradition Of imperial
Rome.
All this was done by one man.
In European opinion Benito Mus
Solini has grown so swiftly in
stature that even in the ranks OF
his enemies abroad the comparison
of the Duce with a Caesar Of old
Rome is often heard. He began
the Ethiopian campaign almost
alone. Advisers warned against it.
It would take too long, cost too
much. Italy could not buck the
whole world. No nation could az
ford to challenge Britain.
Confidence in Duce
Others hung back. Great names
in italy feared the Duce had
dared too much. Young Count
Ciano was foremost in trusting
the Duce'S genius. Back in May,
1885, Count Ciano told me in Lon
don that the Duce would let moth
ing stop him from taking Ethiopia,
taking all of it.
That was at a moment when
the world called the enterprise
madness. Ciano called it a mat
ter of course and it was obvious
that he meant it. Italy is now
greater than ever in her modern
