query which she put into words
after her third marriage was orok-
en- up: What will happen next2"
Death finally supplied the an
swer.
There was one stabilizing motive
in her life. In few persons was
maternal influence more apparent
than in the Kansas City dentists
daughter who rocketed to giddy,
slippery heights of Hollywood. II
even provided her screen name.
Her mothers maiden name was
Jean Harlow.
Jean was born Harlean Carpen-
ter, daughter of DIR. Monte Car
penter and Jean Harlow Carpenter
of Kansas City. Her mother, from
early years, had been consumed
with a longing to be an actress. 1t
persisted through life and found
its vicarious satisfaction in her
daughters fame.
Mother and child first came TO
Hollywood on a winter vacation
when Jean was 10. They returned
the two following winters, but the
great sun arcs of the pictures had
not yet turned on little Harlean.
During all my school life," she
said of those years, "I had one
romance. He was my hero; and it
did not matter that he was over 80
secretly promised myself that
some day Rod Adams would be
the man I'd marry. Then 1 met
Charles F.. McGrew."
All through a hot Kansas City
summer they were together con-
stantly and when Harlean was 16
and "Chuck" McGrew was 90 they
were married.
The young couple came to Holly
wood, and in nearby Beverly His
they set up housekeeping. McGIew
was independently wealthy and, as
his girl bride put ii, had "a hours
u day in which to play, making
our life a continual party.
Years afterward she looked back
on that marriage and the gradu-
al drifting apart which ended ii.
"All play and no work can be
fine for time" she mused, but
I became eager for something be-
side fun to fill the days, and 1
became more and more lonely for
my mother. I waited, hoping that
something would happen to show
me the answer to my problem"
The answer came from a girl
friend, Lucille Lee, who played oc-
casional parts in the pictures. Lu-
cille led the future star to the
golden gateway of filmdom. In

bureau, the funnel through which

Foreign Papers
Pay Tribute to
Platinum Blonde

LONDON, June 8. U.P) Lon
don and British provincial papers
raid unusual tribute today TO Jean
Harlow.
They penetrated behind the
platinum blonde" publicity TO hail
the late star as a much liked ac-
Jress who pleased film audiences
the world over by her vitality
and "fine acting intelligence.
The London Times said:
Jean Harlow had steadily be-
come known to film audiences for
much more than her striking plat
mum blonde coloring and other
abundant physical gifts.
"She used her intensely vital and
robust personality with imagina-
tion to portray characters with un-
failing appeal to most piaygoers.
The London Star said:
Her success was of such a kind
that it tended to obscure "ome OF
her finest qualities as an actress,
but when she had a chance, even
in a small part, she showed she
had first class brains as well as
front rank beauty"
The Evening Standards gossip
writer commented:
I'm every film she made her
performance outstanding. Her work
in China Seas could not have
been bettered by any comedienne

Only Hollywood, with its fountains
OF ballyhoo and strange twists OF
circumstance, could have produced
Jean Harlow. Only Jean Harlow,
with her allure, and dynamic per-

conquered Hollywood, TOUCHES
iown in all the world to crash.
1t is doubtful that another actress
will replace her, even syntnetically,
as box office attraction.
Consciously, or unconsciously, the
producers will search for another

hunt. There has never been a sec

The public, for some uneXplain-
able reason, is not inter eSted in

The girls who crash Hollywood
in the future will have distinctive

Ontario Textile Strikes End !;
COMMIT Inquiry Promised

Toronto (ILNS)-Strikes of 1900
workers in FIVE textile mills in Peter
borough and Cornwall, Ontario, were
called off following the intervention
of Premier Hepburn. Prompt inves
tigation of the whole textile industry
of Ontario, including capital struc-
ture, was promised by the premier;
the Industrial Relations Board will use
the results of the investigation to de-
termine wages which are to be re-
troactive. The companies refused un-
ion recognition, but guaranteed not to
discriminate against strikers or union
members. The companies also under
took to discuss grievances with com
mittees elected under the supervision
of the Ontario labor department, ir-
respective of union membership.
The strikers belonged to unions
chartered by the Trades and Labor
Congress of Canada, having before
they walked out withdrawn from the
United Textile Workers because they
felt CIO affiliation would be a handi-
cap in strike.

The Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe was begun
In 1906 by Napoleon, who intended
it as a monument to the glory Of his
army after the battle of Austerlitz.
The great arch was not completed
and inaugurated until 80 years later.
1t cost the state over nine million
frances, because of its substructure,
which extends As feet below the
ground. The figures in the great
frieze running around the top are
over six feet high and represent a
departure and return Of the French
armies. The handsome arch suf-
fered badly at different periods Of
its existence at the hands OF friend
and foe alike. notably perhaps at
the fall Of the Second empire, while
the Commune ragged in the city. It
was calculated that for three weeks
90 shells were fired at it daily. With
the restoration Of law and order the
Arc de Triomphe was completely
restored. To reach the summit 273
steps have to be climbed.
