Sweden manages to keep clear OF
international tangles, and peace and
prosperity at home leave the King
free to divide his time between rou-

A sport-loving people, Swedes ma
turally are proud of King-the
worlds oldest reigning monarch-whc

There are few days when he doesn't
spend at least an hour on the courts
in the palace grounds in Stock
holm, at the summer palace at Drott-
ningholm, and in winter on the
Riviera. Fast driving and skillfu
placing make him a dangerous op-
ponent.
Popular in Tournaments.
The King is a popular figure in
winter tournaments in the south of
France. This last season he's had
Karl Schroeder as partner.
Schroeder, incidentally, sells coffee
when he's not playing tennis, and
the King has given him permission
to market q brand to be known as

doesn't neglect official duties. Every

his evenings playing bridge.
He's fond OF music and sometimes
locks himself in his den" and plays

Saw Sweeping Changes.
Oscar Gustaf Adolf, King of Sweden,
the Goths and the Wends, has seen
sweeping changes in his own country
and abroad since he assembled the
throne, December 8, 1907.
He had married, in 1881, 19-year-old
Princess Sophie Maria Victoria Of
Baden. She died April 4. 1890.
Gustaf soon was facing serious prob
lens. In Sweden heated controversy
preceded eventual acceptance of parlia-
mentarianisln and radical reform of
the constitution. In 1909 q general
strike and questions Of defense stirred
public opinion.
Then came the World War, in which
Sweden vigorously defended her neu-

Trio Hold Up and Abduct
Man, Steal Car, Shoot
Way Through Town.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
TAZEWELL, Va, June 11.-Virgfnia
and West Virginia officers were search
ing the Knox Greek area of the
Buchanan County mountains early to-
night for three men who held up and
abducted Charles P. Beavers at Burke s
Garden early this morning, escaping
in his automobile, and who are be-
lieved to be the same trio that has
committed a series of daring hold-ups
and automobile thefts on both sides of
the State line in recent weeks.
Mr.. Beavers, Norfolk & Western
Railway night telegraph operator at
Burke's Garden block Office, 2 miles
east Of Tazewell, was on duty shortly
after midnight when he was surprised
by the three men, two Of whom were
armed with automatic pistols and the
third, who was masked, with a sawed
off shotgun.
With their weapons drawn on
Beavers, the trio forced him to enter
his automobile and accompany them
short distance out on route No 81
before he was liberated. They told
him he would find the car in a few
days near Huntington, w. Va.
Halls Sheriff's Auto.
Beavers made his way to the inter-
section of route 10, where the first
approaching automobile he hailed was
occupied by Sheriff r. L. Hilton of
Tazewell County and State Policeman
Frank Slater. The officers were re-
turning from call to a skating rink
at ST. Glars Crossing, where the pro-
prietor had been held up by three men,
presumably the same who had ab-
Quoted Beavers.
The officers continued on to Taze-
well and communicated with wythe-
vile, Va, and Blueheld, w. Va, off,
GERS in an effort to block the highways.
1t was learned later that the trio had
fed into West Virginia, where they
ran into a group Of policemen at War,
Mcdowell County.
Two Bystanders Hurt.
The officers began shooting and the
fire was returned by the fugitives, who
wounded Homer Young, 36, and Lacy
Dowell, 81, walking along the street.
Young and Dowell were taken to a
hospital, where it was said they were
not critically hurt.
:. Dashing through War, the robbers
headed their stolen car toward Brad
shaw. Policemen followed closely and
more shots we're exchanged on the
way.
Bradshaw is near the Virginia line
and soon after crossing into the other
State the men abandoned the car and
- scattered on foot into the forest.
Officers believed the fugitives to be
. the same trio that has perpetrated a
series of hold-ups and automobile
thefts in Mcdowell County, w. Va,
d in recent weeks, and is wanted speci-
flcally for robbery of the liquor store
at Jaeger, w. Va; the hold-up of a
filling station and the theft of an au-
tomobile from Miss Lillian Dickinson
of Jaeger. The Dickinson automobile
was found at Five Oaks, near the
Burke's Garden telegraph Office, soon
after the abduction of Beavers.

 A few fake story brokers and scenario-writing schools generally are flourishing somewhere. Theirs is a precarious existence because they use the mails and thus are vulnerable to federal charges.
 A couple of years ago writer for national magazine gathered some first-hand material for an article on the subject by prepar- ing the poorest story he could think of. Titled "Treachery on the Sea, or Back From the Depths, it was crudely phrased, misspelled throughout, and poorly typed. It was submitted, in turn, to several fake agents and writing schools.
 All hastened to assure him that it was a powerful and finely wrought tale with excellent pos abilities for sale to the movies. But it would require bit of ex- ert adaptation to the peculiar technical requirements of the screen, and these changes would be made for 8 fee of, say, $50.
 That writer, by the way, was waylaid and badly beaten by a couple of plug-uglies who told him to lazy off his racket investigation.

Hollywood - Classifying various Hollywood talent enterprises under the headings of Legitimate" doubt ful," and "racketS" is job that local authorities don't relish.
 Testimony is difficult to obtain, convictions are rare, sentences light. Seldom are there such sensational indignities as when, few months ago, girls were paraded in the nude before fake talent scouts and "stu- dio executives" Larry Crosby, broth- CT and business manager of Bing, brought the ring to police attention when he learned that a solicitor for it was claiming to be connected with Crosby. One man was arrested but was released when girls and their parents refused to appear to aid in the prosecution.
 One of the meanest of rackets, periodically revived and widely practiced, especially around Chicago and in the east, is the selling of fake screen tests. These often are made without film in the cameras, and the subjects usually are children. The swindlers take whatever the mothers can pay, from $5 to $50. Sometimes they bolster their sales talk with promises of parts in pie lures. And sometimes they're caught. Four self-styled executives of an im- aginary All-Star Productions Corp. were jailed for selling roles in a hypothetical "$100,Oo0 all-juvenile feature"
 The major studios of Hollywood, which prefer to make their own discoveries and do their own training, try to discourage talent schools and most of the local little theaters" which charge for instruction and roles in plays.
 THE MAIN THING YOU LEARN IS NOT TO DO IT AGAIN
 Studio talent scouts do not att tend performances at gyp theaters, and studio casting directors are cold toward graduates of most of the movie schools.
 Almost all of these enterprises are conducted within the law. Not since 1929 and the dissolution of Cinema Movie Schools, Ins, has there been conviction. That com pany'S advertising claimed that 1t had made the careers of Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Col

Promising Pictures Feature Programs Of Local 7heaters
MEN WITH WINGS
 BEGINS AT STATE
First Airplane Film in TechnicOIOr Opens En-
 gagement Today

One of the most romantic and ir- spring epochs in the history of mankind, the conquest of the air
 during tthe past three decades, fin- ally gets the brilliant screen treat ment it deserves in the first air. plane picture ever to be completely filmed in technicolor, 'Men With Wings" which opens its local en- gagement at the Warner Brothers State theater this afternoon as the headliner of the. outstanding pro- gram.
 It is a dynamic romance of fly- ing from the earliest days down to the present and has been commonly called Americas cavalcade of the air". Many theatrgoers have prob- ably heard or read about the fam ing sequences in this picture which are said to be the greatest air thrills ever filmed. The crash of planes, great battles in the skies, dog flights above the fields of war time France, death-defying tests by flying fools and many other thrill ing scenes are included in this laundering saga of American avia- ton.
 No effort has been spared to make this film a milestone in the history of screen drama. Starting with the flight of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1903 it continues with the achievements of such great names of Glenn Curtiss, Bler- tot, Lindberg, Amelia Earhart, Wiley Post and Howard Hughes.
 At the head of the grand cast are Fred MacMurray, Ray Midland and Louise Campbell. These three stars bring out all the power and human drama of the story. MacMurray, who has been in danger of being typed" as a screen playboy, shows what he can do in completely dramatic role as the pioneer avia- tor whose great tragedy lies in his inability to rid himself of the rest lessness and responsibility which always marks the pioneer. Midland gives a suave and sincere portrayal of the constructive aviator who, af- ter seing aviation through its turbu- lent beginnings, guides it toward its uncertain but brilliant future.
 Louise Campbell, as the girl pioneer, in love with two men and with the spirit of flying, gives her role vitality and warmth which few actresses could equal. Here is a young lady theatergoers should keep an eye on during the coming season.
 The story of "Men With Wings" revolves about the experiences of three young people, taking them from the days of their childhood, when the Wrights made their first flight, through aviation's early days, through the World War period, the fabulous boom days of the Coolidge Era, and finally down to the present time, when aviation stands at the crossroads. Miss Campbell, the daughter of an early aviation en- thusiast who dies while attempting to fly, devotes her life to flying and
