'Tol'able David" and was hailed as
a new discovery. He has made SO
pictures in the eight years that fol-
lowed, but producers still think OF
him as a juvenile and won't give
him a chance to prove otherwise.
Lew Ayres was also 20 when he
appeared in "All Quiet on the West
ern Front" It has taken him 10
years to prove that his first sue
cess was not flash in a boyish pan.
Now, at 80, he is at last getting
dramatic roles that should keep
him employed for the next 10 years.
That baby face of Johnny Downs
has proved liability. 1t did all
right for him when he was kid
in "Our Gang" comedies but was
hopeless when he tried to make the
film grade as leading young man.
Johnny is now % years old. He
will have to wait until his shoulders
fill out and his dimples disappear
before the film producers take Dig
chances on him.
Robert Cummings was % when
he statred in pictures. He Is now
26. He never fails to turn IN good
film performance, but his still
youthful-looking face stands out like
a sore thumb against advancement
Ditto for George Murphy, who Is
only a juvenile in appearance. His
ages ability and experience en-
title him to meatier roles, but his
face and physique tie him down to
the f1imsiest of parts.

it is only in the past three years
that Doug has been considered ma
ture enough to play grownup men
in his pictures.

tablished male favorites shows, with
few exceptions, that they were all

in the picture of that name Tyrone
was so good looking that I, for one,
went halfway to accept him as the
bold, bad bandit. But the New
York critics were less kind and again
slammed down on poor Mr.. Power.
And why? Not because he gave
a bad performance-he was good.
His only crime was that he looked
too young for the tough-guy part.
Predictions are afoot that, unless
in the near future Tyrone plays
roles more suited to his years Che
is 24-came to pictures when he was
22), his decline will be as speedy
as his rise to film fame.
Now let's look at this thing
squarely. Is youth in a screen hero
handicap? Don Ameche says
"Yes." The other day I asked him
when Brother Jim Ameche would
join him in movie career. Jim
has done pretty well as radio per-
former. I was surprised at Don's
reply: "He is too young for the
movies. In another two years, may
be-but not now" Jim is %.

Tom Brown was 10 years old when
he scored a success in Tom Brown

is now Is years old and working hard
to dissipate the general impression
that he is too young to play i'm
portant roles. He wants to play
tough-guy roles that have a bite in
them but is usually cast as an in
nocuous kid brother, who never gets
very far in the picture-or in the
building up of his career.

waVered even trifle to the right or
left, his neat flow of oratory might
have been interrupted.
For, dangling up there by his
knees from a trapeze arrangement,
just out of camera range, was man
named George French, holding a
blackboard with Barrymores lines
printed on it in large sized letters.
Barrymore and his dialogue black
board have by now become sort Of
Hollywood tradition. They move to-
gether from one studio to another
as John attempts to keep up with
his many free-lance calls.
When the actor first decided that
memorizing dialogue was an utter
waste of time. various workers on
the sets we're delegated to write
down his lines and hold up the
board for him. But recently it's
become specialized job and French

Barrymore doesn't actually need

but he refuses to apply himself to
the task.
"My mind is always full Of my
own private thoughts" he told q
director one day. why should I
clutter it with lot of words that
don't mean anything to me?"
Barrymore is the only actor in
Hollywood brave or bold enough to
make use of blackboard, but direc-
tors feel that at least 20 big-name
players could we'll afford to emulate
his example. These slow-witted
actors would save themselves much
mental torture and their studios
plenty of money in retakes if they
could resort to such methods OF
getting their lines recorded.
How do they go about linking
these passages into their minds?
Some of them-all too few, directors
complain-study their parts the

Is Tyrone Power too young for
picture work? The question seems
silly in view of Tyrone's starring
status and his obvious popularity
with mostly female-ol all
ages. My query is prompted by the
reviewers criticism leveled against
Tyrone after each of his four last
pictures.
When "Lloyds of London" flashed
on the screen the critics conceded
that Tyrone had done a good job
but said that in spite of a little
white powder on his hair he looked
too young for the patriotic business
man. After Marie Antoinette"
came universal charge that Power
was too boyish for the gallant

dle-aged French Queen. AS De

New Type Bottle
Cap For Brewery

Officials at the Heinrich Brew
ing company announced the ex-
elusive introduction Thursday Of
a new type of bottle cap which
eliminates the necessity for bottle
openers entirely.
The new cap, known as the pop
top" will appear on bottles of the
Heinrich brewery's premium prod
uct-Hemrich's select beer-and is
characterized by a convenient tab
attached to a cap of aluminium
foil which, when pulled TO the
right, peels the metal from around
the top and rewards the opener
with champagne-like pop. Made
and applied to the bottles in one
continuous operation, the caps are
formed from a strip roll OF alumni
mum and fastened onto the bot
ties by pressure.
Machinery for producing the
new caps was installed at the
Heinrich brewery under the super
vision of Charles A. E. Johnson,
representing Aktiebolaget Aka
Aluminiumkapslar, Lin ko ng,
Sweden, the manufacturers who
perfected the process. Only five
other breweries in the U. S. possess
similar machinery.
The new cap vii lbe presented
to the public in an extensive pro-
motional camp align, released
through Milne q Company. Inc,
Seattle advertising agency, featur-
ing color newspaper advertising,
direct mail, and display promo
ton.

Dead|ine Tomorrow,
$1,000 Face Penalty
On Tax Returns
Failure to File to
Incur 20oo Added Levy
On Tongible Property

With tomorrow the deadline for
filing tax returns on tangible per-
sonal property, Deputy Assessor c.
A. Russell said yesterday that about
$1,000 persons are facing the 20 per
cent penalty incurred by failure to
file a return.
Coincidentally the deadline for
dogs being on the street without a
new license expires tomorrow, and
1t is expected several hundred dog
owners will appear at the District
Building along with those filing
tangible tax returns to save their
animals the possible embarrassment
of being carted off to the pound.
Mr. Russell said his department
had estimated there were about
$4,000 tangible tax returns to be
filed and that to date only about
$4,000 of these have come in.
The new tax law repeals the in
tangible tax, he reminded, but re-
turns must be made on stock in
trade and equipment. household fur
niture over 81 900 in valuation, in
Guiding linens, silverware and any
other furnishings of the house; jew
elry, boats and any other tangible
personal property.
Mr.. Russell said the personal tax
office would be open from 8:15 am.
to 5 pm. tomorrow, but any re-
turn postmarked July 81, 1899, will
be accepted without penalty.

Further charges are that shifts
IN the central organization of the

are being made in Washington; that
these shifts are intended to build
an organization which will be more
effective when it comes to cam
paigning next year for the A. A. A.
cause-and for candidates for po-
ltical Office.
Several officials. it is said, have
been let out entirely. despite the
fact their efficiency ratings have
been good. More have received
wide cuts in their pay, and still
others have been advanced.
officials of the A. A. A, however,
vehemently deny that anything is
being done to rig the organization
for political purposes.
If the Hatch bill is enacted into
law, it will be difficult for this ad-
mlnlstratlon or any other to make
use of the A. A. A. organization,
the relief organiza ton, or any other
governmental agency for political
purposes. The A. A. A. has approx
imately $4,000 persons in its organ
ization, including the central organ
i1ation, State committeeman, county
committeeman and community
committeeman, and various classes
of employees.
Social Security Deadlock.
The social security bill is dead
locked in conference by the row be-
tween the Senate and House con-
ferees over the Connally amendment,
which would materially increase the
contribution of the Federal Govern
ment to the old-age assistance funds.
Jeopardized by the deadlock is the
provision in the bill which would
save employers and workers about
S275 100000 year for the next
three years by postponing the in
creaSes IN the pay roll tax now
scheduled to be made.
The conferees on this measure,
finding it impossible to reach an
agreement, recessed Friday to meet
at the call of the chairman. Unless
something is done. the bill will fail to
be enacted into law until the next
session of Congress, in January, and
the pay roll taxes will then be un-
der way for 1910. The proposed
freezing of these taxes at the pres
ent rate has been hailed as a real
step toward aiding industry.
The coalition leaders in the House,
against the lending spending bill
from which the Senate has knocked
S050,000,000, are framing their STRAIT
egy to meet the measure when it
comes to that body They believe
they will have enough votes to de-
feat it, and that being the case they
may seek to block it effectively by
voting down a special rule for its
consideration after the usual 40
minutes of debate. If that is not
done, a motion to strike out the
enactlng clause of the bill, a favorite
way of killing a measure, may be
made as soon as the bill is taken UP
for debate.
