nered lady In building up to her
laughs. When she arrives at the
cue for the tag line, which is fire.
quently = very burlesque line, she
plays 1t with q straight face and
dignifled politeness which emphasize
the absurdity.
Another facet Of her formula is
that she never depends entirely
upon the tag line for the laugh. She
devises q particular and unexpected
gesture Of the hands, arms or head
to go with the laugh line.
Getting the gesture that best fits
the laugh is a matter Of long and
hard work, Of try, try again until
she strikes the one that hits the
eye with the best laugh-provoking
stance.
One critic said after the show
opened that Miss Lille is the most
humorous woman on the stage to-
day. But ask her why she seems
funny and she can't say.
Il don't know" she said. II don't
dance and don't sing.

She has an acute ear for the Sec
ond when the audience is ready for
the next thing, and never gives them
q line over a laugh.
THE audience directs me-" she
said. That's why it's more diff
cult in movies, when the audience
isn't there. My best work is never
done in rehearsal.
And can't go out to an audience

Only Children Are
Best Villains

After making q study OF actor
types in Hollywood, DR.. Leo M.
Schulman notes that actors who are
only sons turn out to be professional
villains more often than actors
growing up in large families.
Bruce Cabot, Edward G. Robinson
and Humphrey Bogart are q few ex-
amples DR.. Schulman offers in proof
of his theory.
He believes a boy who grows up
as the only male in family Is likely
to develop more ego than a boy OF
similar age who would have couple
of brothers to file Of his rough edges.
That ego sometimes makes them
restless about other peoples rights"
DR.. Schulman concludes.
Even if they 60 along making
concessions to other peoples wishes
in real life, they can throw of the
cloaks of convention easily when
they play villains and ride roughshod
over the other characters In the
cast"

Kisses Look
Better Than
They Are
Directors Worry
Always Over
Them
By the Associated Press.

81 the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD.
Kisses worry movie directors.
Not one in ten Of them ever has
kissed a woman in front of q camera.
This, in part, explains the concern
most Of them feel during the filming
of love scenes. They know how they
want the kiss to look but they can't,
from experience, demonstrate how 1t
should be done.
The "art" of screen kissing is to
make the osculation look better than
it Is. Better, says Director Edmund
Goulding, means more beautiful.
People saying farewell to their loved
ones seldom care how their goodbye
kiss looks to others, but In movie
1t Is important that it look well or
the effect of the scene Is completely
lost.
Goulding recently presided over
the kisses exchanged by Bette Davis
and George Brent in Dark victory"
The final scene between them, when
Brent is leaving and Bette believes
she never will see him again, could
not be marred by an awkward or
ugly kiss. Goulding could give only
sideline advice, relying upon his
cameramen and lighting experts to
avoid under -chin shadows, smashed
profiles and all the other ills to
which screen kisses are heir.
So much fun has been poked at
movie kisses that every director and
most experienced actors consider
them the most difncult scenes to
make. It is always necessary, when
filming kiss scene, to give the lady
the advantage of the camera angle,
the best light and front view, even
though the man may be the star OF
the piece.
Few people care how the man looks
when he kisses, as long as he doesn't
appear to be ridiculous. But the
lady must remain beautiful under
the most impassioned caresses.
TRY that in front of your mirror
some days" suggests Michael Curtiz,
another director. Then you will
know why directors grow wrinkled
before the leading man."
Which, in Curtizs rather jumbled
English, tells a great deal.

Friendliest
Pup Turns
To Murder
The Ham of Great
Danes, Won Now
Is a Villain
By Dan De Luce,
Associated Press Stan Writer,
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
The friendlest pooch in the
movies turned horror hound today,
making DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
look like piker.
For hiding his better nature in a
murderous role, Won, a Great Dane,
Is earning 5000 a week.
He's been supplied with ghostly
Devonshire moor to roam in, on
the back of Twentieth Century-Fo
He bounds fiendishly through cur
tains of fog produced by a prop
mans spray gun.
When a padded stunt man is
toppled over a cliff, Won howls eerily
into a microphone. Then he stalks
of the set to get his reward-a dab
Of hamburger.
Won is the title menace in "The
Hound of the Baskervilles, killer
diller story which Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle wrote long ago for his super
sleuth, Sherlock Holmes Last week
1t nearly went to the bow-wows be-
cause the studio couldn't find the
right sort of hound.
Two Great Danes were tried out,
but one had bored expression and
the other nipped stunter's arm.
Won, after Makeup Artist Sid Perell
had spotted his tan coat with spec
tral markings, satisfied everybody.
A 5-year-old, 140-pound cutup,
Won has been before the camera
since puppyhood. He was 10 months
old when he chased Will Rogers up
. tree in TOO Busy to Work"
He acts in about 10 pictures
year, most of them quickies in which
he isn't given time to rehearse. His
repertoire of tricks covers almost
every situation.
Sometimes he's "clunk," trips
walters. knocks over hat racks or
otherwise gets a laugh. Last year
In Gold Diggers in Paris" he imi-
tated Charlie Mccarthy as a ven-
triloquist's dummy.
Hes the hammiest of actors"
says Owner Henry East. He loves
to act. It's always been fun to him.
Il bought him for 81 from some
folks who got discouraged trying to
raise him in an apartment house.
He didn't have a pedigree and he's
never needed one.
II trained him by suggestion and
association of ideas-no teasing or
punishment. I own a movie kennel
OF about IS dogs, among them
Skippy, a wire hair, and Corky, a
mongrel, who have won screen
credit. Not one is friendlier than
Won. He doesn't have a mean bone

needed. No rehearsals after mid
night"
TT was a revelation" adds Mrs.
March generously, "of what a mar
velously capable director can do.
I've been in plays where there were
six people and we were kept re-
hearsing all night and the director
stood up and screamed all night
until he collapsed. Then he lay
down and screamed"
The show, the Broadway word Is,
looks set through the Worlds Fair.
The Worlds Fair looks set for two
years. So the movie public won't
be seeing Mr.. and Mrs. March again
for quite spell.

For Engineering Efficiency
Awarded General Electric Co. Trophy
For Having Lost Less Than Five Minutes Time

Station WMAL, owned by The
Star and operated by the National
Broadcasting Co., has been singled
out by the General Electric Co. as
having lost less time in 1888 due
to mechanical difficulties than any
other N. B. c. radio station in the
country.
For its achievement of having
been of the air only 4 minutes and
Is seconds out of a total of $500
hours of broadcasting time, WMAL
was selected to receive the General
Electric Co. Plaque, awarded an
nually to the N. B. c. station hav-
ing the most nearly perfect record
in this respect.
The plaque is to be presented by
Boyd Bullock, assistant manager of
broadcasting of the General Electric
Co., at luncheon this afternoon
at the Willard Hotel 1t will be
received in behalf of WMAL by H
A. Wadsworth, engineer in charge of
the transmitter.
Scheduled to attend the luncheon

Selection of WMAL for having
achieved a nearly perfect record
Is tribute to the stations engi-
neers-those men behind the scenes
who rarely are heard of by the
public. For it was through their
efforts that during 1888 WMAL was
silent only fraction more than 4
minutes out of some AIS, 900 minutes
Of broadcasting time.
The air time was lost through
failures of only a few seconds each
The longest lapse was of so seconds
duration.
There are II N. B. C.-operated
stations in the United States. The
General Electric Co. Plaque was
first awarded three years ago when
it was given to Station WGY
Schenectady. Last year it went to

At the order of Cardinal Marchet-

in the Rome diocese. proclamations
of death were nailed to the doors of
the city's 400 churches.
Death was believed hastened by
his determination to celebrate fit

reign-that of the Lateran treaty

Morning Hours

ES tHe ASSOClAteQ fFeSS.
ROME. Feb. l0-Reaction of the
City of Rome to its biggest news
story of generation surprised
visiting Americans accustomed in
their own land to being awakened
by shouting of extras and made
quickly abuzz with excitement.
1t was more than an hour after
the death of Plus XII in his apart
ment beyond the colonnades at ST.
Peters before the deep rhythmic
tolling of Vatican City bells an
nounced to early risers that the
chair of St. Peter was vacant.
The age-old procedure affirming
the death was necessary before there
could be an official announcement.
More hours elapsed before notices
came to the doors of churches and
Papal flags were flown at half staff.
Those who watched in the shadow
of St. Peters saw few variations
from normal AS the dawn came, a
flow of Catholic priests and other
Worshippers to the great church
began.
Many who had come to pray for
the Pontiff's life and strength
learned the news and remained to
pray for peace of their Holy Father.
BY daylight the Piazza San Pietro
was dotted with groups of faithful,
priests in vari-colored garb reading
to one another first copies of the
newspapers.
Wide-eyed tourists mingled with
priests and stared at the increased
compliment of civil police outside
the several Vatican gates and at the
resplendently garbed Swiss Guards
glimpsed within portals which had
been closed to most visitors.
Inside ST. Peters there were no
great crowds, though hundreds
moved in and out of it's vastness,
kneeling in groups at several altars
and the tomb of St. Peter.
They passed silently through the
aisles and among half-placed
decorations intended for week enc
celebrations of signing of the
Lateran accord and the anniversary
of accession of the Pope.
Regular morning masses seemed
to take on new significance Many
worshippers who did not enter
knelt at the doors of the chapel in
which the body will lie.
In the piazza woman went by
stolidly balancing bundle on her
head. A group of workmen with
tools in handbags left the Vatican in
group. A body of guardsmen
marched by. some lifting eyes to
windows of the Papal Palace

secretary, rescued the dog from his
unhappy surroundings and took him

admirable Christian prayer, Jesus,

pire in peace with you"
Calmly" said the paper, with a
serenity which reflected the purity
of life devoted entirely to God,
his holiness. turning his head to-
ward the right, yielded up his fine
soul to God"
After DR.. Milani pronounced the
Pope dead, Cardinals Pacelli and
Caccia Dominioni approached the
bed and kissed the pontiff's hand.
In the traditional ceremony of
the church, Cardinal Pacelli as
camerlengo, or interim ruler, made
the official pronouncement of death.
AS if the Pope still lived. Cardinal
Pacelli approached the death bed
and drew back the white veil that
covered the Pontiff's face. Flickers
of light from dozens of candles fell
upon the aged countenance.
"Achille!" called the thin, ascetic
cardinal, who for many years had
worked closely with his temporal
ruler The call echoed through the
small. plain bedroom. No answer
The Pope" said the cardinal, "is
truly dead"
IN quavering voices those in the
room began the DE Profundis,"
chant for the dead: "Out of the
depths, o Lord, do I cry unto Thee"
Cardinal Marchetti Selvaggiani
began to say mass in the Popes
private chapel few feet from the
death bed.
The Cardinal Penitentiary Lorenzo
Lauri followed him at the altar for
another mass. his Office being the
only one with that of the Gamer
lengo, which did not lapse with the
Pope's death.
Cardinal Pacelli and the other
cardinals removed their violet man
tellettas. their distinguishing mark
OF rank, since they now were more
than cardinals-each with a chance
to become the next Pontiff.
Although there has been specula-
ton on the possibility of a foreign
cardinal being elected Pope, Vatican
prelates forecast Pope Plus sue
cesSor would be an Italian in &C.
cordance with the centuries of
tradition.
Possible Selections.
Among those considered possible
choices are the Italian Cardinals
Ascalesi, Fossati. Dalla Costa. Boetto.
Piazza, Schuster and Lavitrano.
They are called "pupabili' by the
Italians, meaning their names would
be under consideration.
Cardinal Pacelli went soon to his
Offices to start notifying the diplo-
matte corps of the Holy See, Papal
representatives abroad. including
Archbishop Cicognani in Washing
ton, and the American cardinals
O'Connell of Boston, Dougherty of
Philadelphia and Mundelein of
Chicago.
He sent a formal notification to
King Vittorio Emanuele of Italy,
Premier Mussolini and the heads of
other states, said Stefani, the Italian
news agency.
The cardinals were expected to
gather here as quickly as possible
to fix the date for election of a
new Pope.
