A DOG FISH

DUG flSH-
Bill Lorenz is disguised and his
pet Springer Spaniel has every
reason to be mad as the dickens
On a fishing trip to Mexican
waters, Lorenz had luck that was
not Irish at all He couldn't catch
thing. He had to put in his time
amusing his dog. At night, how
ever. the dog devoted himself to
Andy Preble. Every few minutes
the purp would awaken Andy by
licking him in the face.

Bill looked around for a rope, No

No wire. Next he looked for a string
No string. He was forced to use
his fish line. The dog was tied up
and everyone, including Andy,
settled down for a good sleep.
The dog was restless He couldn't
get close to Andy to express his
undying affection via canine kisses.
He struggled to free himself from
the fish line which held him.
There was a frenzied howl of
pain. The dog caught Bills fish
hook in his nose.

Will War Come?
Roosevelt Ayers
Mob ody Can Tell

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA.
(Up) - President Roosevelt
announced today that the
United States would with
draw its go marines now
stationed in China and declared, IN
response to questions, that it was
impossible to say whether war with
Japan can be avoided.
Mr. Roosevelt told a press con-
ference that the withdrawal of the
marines, who are stationed at Shan-'
ghai, Peiping and Tientsin, would
DC9in shortly.
Other authoritative sources said
the recall would not actually begin
until American citizens in Shanghai
are given a last chance to return
to their homeland.
Americans in the Far East have
been advised repeatedly to return
to this country and it was under
stood that arrangements are being
made to provide ships for the re-
moval of those in Shanghai who
wish to leave before the marine
withdrawal.
COMMENT REFUSED
MI. Roosevelt would not connect
the marine removal order with the
status OF u. S.-JapaneSe relations
and the impending peace" talks
among officials here and SaburC
Kurusu, Japan's ace diplomat who
arrived in San Francisco today.
Reporters made several attempts
TO link the two moves, asking the
President whether he believes the
american people realize the seri
BUSINESS Of the Far Eastern situa
ton" He replied that he thought
the country was aware of it.
He then was asked whether
there will be war right away Ill
the Far East" and he answered
that he sincerely trusted there
would not.

Another handicap to Miss Landi's
living up to her photography was
the instructive reticence of lady
and a considerable gift of intelli-
gence. Her publicity laid consider
able stress on both the excellence of
her background and the fact that
she could, and did, write books.
Publicity departments have be-
come keener since then. If an
actress writes books, it is kept a
deep, dark secret. Rarely is it ad-
mitted that they even read books,
the stress being laid upon the fact
that they are always swimming,
bathing, or practicing some
such healthy and more photogenic
phase of living. The change came
too late for Miss Landi, however.
X X
The reasons for Miss Landi's mis-
haps on the stage are bit more
obscure. 1t certainly was neither a
lack of beauty nor talent, for she
clearly is possessed of both.
Her choice of plays, to be sure,
was not unassailable as to quality of
Judgment. 1t seemed to run very
largely to little adaptations from the

butler and the maid, so clever and
so handsome, were mistaking them
selves or being mistaken for their
master and mistress. Written by
people named Ladislaus Bus-Fekete
or Lillian Havatny, or something
else whose pronunciation was more
fascinating thar their art, those
dramas had way of wowing Gen.
trail and Western Europe. Their
success there always induced some
producer to try them in English on
American audiences. Their charm
ing whimsy was almost invariably
lost in the translation. Somehow,
Miss Landi was lost with them.
The monodrama would seem to be
a hopeful opening for Miss Landi.
Her most famous predecessors in it
have been women possessed not
merely of acting, but of writing skill.
Whatever the explanation, pract1-
tioners of the art find it an impera-
tive that they shall be their own
authors. The classic illustration Is

Posterity, if any, might look for
clues to Miss Landi's failure in the
movies in the type of pictures given
her between 1881 and 1887. Their
titles such as knowing Men"
wicked" The Woman in Room
13, etc, make it more than opaque
that her Hollywood employers
regarded her as the sultry type.
True, she did photograph that way,
but it was in between the lit" and
"oomph" eras when publicity de-
partments were allowing the GUS
toners to make their own decisions.

 A cellar fire was extinguished by firemen of four companies at the home of Walter Samenuk, 102 Fair view street, yesterday afternoon.
 Little damage resulted. A slight chimney fire at the home of Patsy Andreane of 354 Congress avenue was also extin9uished by four com- panies of firemen.
