FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

REPEAT: Poet James
Whitcomb Riley was an &C
complished lecturer who,
drunk or sober, could be
counted on to give a credit
able performance on the plat
form.
One night, when he was in
his cups, Riley was scheduled
to give a talk. Despite his
condition, he kept the audi
ence spellbound for 80 min
utes.
When he had finished and
had returned, rather I'M
steadily. to his seat, the chair
man got up and thanked him
and called for another round
of applause. Hearing his
name and the vigorous hand
clapping. Riley, the old pro,
stumbled to his feet, stepped
forward on the platform and
began delivering his speech
again.
DISLIKE: Like most con-
ductors, Arturo Toscanini
found it difficult to get along
with singers. Once, when he
was conducting opera, he
exchanged some heated words
with a baritone.
Il didn't know you felt so
strongly about baritones,"
said the singer. I'm sorry
I'm not a tenor"
1T wouldn't have mattered,"
said Toscanini. 1T dislike

prestige. Love scenes were al
most noneXistent. The motion
picture stories were built
around adventure, and a
heroine had to know how to
run along the top of a NOV
ing train, how to drive a car
of a cliff, how to draw a
gun, and ride a horse.
The kiss was reserved for
the final fadeout. Miss White
did so well at Powers that
she got a job with Pathe
Freres. in Jersey City. This
mant more money. They tried
her in broad comedy, and,
for a while, she tossed pies
and closed her eyes and
waited for them.
In 1914, she turned out her
first, and most famous, serial:
"The Perils of Pauline" 1t
made Miss White Americas
heroine before Mary Pick
ford became Americas sweet
heart. From 1914 to 1919,
Pearl White starred in 1.-THE
Exploits of Elaine" 1.-THE
Iron Claw" Pearl Of the
Army" 1.-THE Fatal Ring"
1.-THE House of Hate" 1.-THE
Lightning Raider" and "The
Black Secret"
Each consisted of Is cpl
sodes. and each episode was a
two-reeler. Pearl was filmed
on flaming yachts. trapped in
rising water in dungeons,
jumping from trains, topping
into volcano cones, wing
walking from one biplane to
another, at the mercy of
opium smokers in Chinatown.
The lady performed her
own feats until she became
famous. Then Pathe felt that
she was too valuable to risk.
A male double with wig)
executed most of the danger
GUS stunts in the later films.
In "Perils of Pauline" Miss
White fell down a flight of
stairs and suffered a perm
anent injury to her spine.
In 1919 she tired of serials
and signed a rich contract
with Fox Films to star in
drawing-room dramas. In
two years she made 10 pic
lures and few went to see
them. In 1922 Pearl White
made a final serial, plum
der" and retired. Her earned
income for the final eight
years was So million.
HER LIFE had not been
devoid of romance. On Octo-
Der IL, 1907, she had married
a Mississippi actor named
Victor Sutherland. She di-
vorced him in 1914 and, five
years later, married Wallace
McCutcheon, actor. 81 e
divorced him after two years.
There were no children.
Miss White bought a villa
near Paris and spent much
of her time on the Riviera.
She was seldom photo
graphed and was known to
her small circle of friends as
a warm-hearted, shrewd per-
son with a fine sense of
humor.
When motion pictures be-
gan to talk, no one asked
Pearl White what she thought
Of them. No one cared.
Everyone thought that the
old movie serials were very
funny.
In July, 1898, Pearl White
checked into the American
Hospital in Paris. She Wa
vaguely i'll. When the illness
became serious, she sum-
moned a priest. She died of
a liver ailment on August 4,
1898, and was buried in
Paris.
She was the first movie
queen -.

Po|iceFought

Opposition to a national
police force and to police forces
being unionized were expressed
yesterday at a panel discussion
Of the American Society tor
Public Administration at the
Statler Hotel.
Panel members generally
went on record against the
setting up of a national police
force and felt that co-opera-
ton between various depart
ments over the country must
be on a purely voluntary basis
Police Commissioner Stephen
P. Kennedy of New York City,
chairman of the clinic discuss
ing law enforcement, warned
that police associations within
departments should not permit
themselves to be turned into
trade unions.
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray told the audience that mar
cotic violators present no par
ticular problem in Washington
He explained his department
works with the Federal Bu-
reau of Narcotics just as if
they were one agency. because
cases are handled jointly.
Chief Murray also advocated
strict and fair discipline as
being important in a police
department, warning that
where this does not exist it
is going downhill fast"
During a discussion of the
narcotics problem, Commits
sioner of Narcotics H. J. An
singer said narcotics users
here are running away from
the District because of the
compulsory disqualification re-
quirAnent under the law.
