In the last 10 years, Neely has
tried 25 cases a month and is said
to have won 40 per cent of them.
"What made this a picture," said
Foy, "was the idea of a man hired
by the public to defend the guy
who hasn't got a dime. That and
the fact that a number of other
states are installing the svstem."
A little story heard today makes
Robert Taylor seem more human.

A group of us were talking
about the shooting of Brig. Gen.
Henry Denhardt, for which the
Garr brothers are under arrest in
Kentucky. Someone suggested
that half a dozen Studio writers
probably are already translating
the headlines into scripts.
Bryan Foy, of Warner Brothers,
said no.
"In filming a news story," he
explained, "you have to have some
thing; that will hold up long enough
to make a picture and release it.
And you have to have a quality
that goes deeper than the headlines."
Warner Brothers recently
plucked a screen story from the
news. It was inspired by William
Neely, Los Angeles public defender,
who very nearly hung the jury

of three little girls. The case was

Many a strange request comes,

Last week the Pennsylvania Rail
road, busiest in the world, announced
that it was' obliged to retrench on ex
penditures for niaintenanfe during:
September and October because fall
business was not up to expectations.
The Pennsylvania along with five oth

per cent under August, 19:5(5, though
gross revenue rose YM per cent. The

off some 20,000 men since Sept. 1.
While in Washington the conference

The Kentucky Hanking Association

banks be open all day, that "bankers
hours" be a thing of the past. Hank

costume now."

HOLLYWOOD Any attempt to
poll the film colony on the question
of which feminine star is the most
beautiful in Hollywood la sufficient
to launch a major controversy and
bring forth a dozen nominations
for the mythical honor.
While movie fans probably have
their own ideas on the subject,
there is a considerable difference
between the appearance of a. star
on the silver screen and off. Many
of the glamorous beauties of Hol
lywood make up beautifully but
lack the natural perfection which
would bring them notice In a
crowd. There are few of the lead
ing actresses in movies today but
feve am. or nw physical imper
lections which camera ana cos
metics conspire to conceal.
It might even be said that the
majority of the current cinema
queens are rather ordinary looking
despite the stunning impression
they make under the Klieg lights.
Thin is due in great measure to
t- the emphasis on personality and
I acting talent, in contrast to the
pioneer days of movie-making
when a leading lady's chief re
quisite was perfection of form and
face.
In discussing the question of
who is Hollywood's leading natural
beauty, however, there is some
agreement one finds, on circulating
round the various major studios.
Various ones may have their in
dividual preferences, but few dis
pute the claim of one stunning
star to her right among the first
rank of Hollywood beauties.
Anita Louise, on the basis of an
unofficial survey, rates as one of
the few stars who has a natural
beauty which can withstand even
the discerning camera eye. Her
complexion is the envy of moat
of Hollywood, her eyes undeniably
have "It", and the delicate Dresden
China appearance which . she
creates gives one the impression
that aha might have stepped out
of a Fragonard masterpiece.
Krmmiber Blllle DoveT
Of quite another type, yet rank
ing with the greut natural beauties
in Hollywood history, is Marlcne
Dietrich. She Is glamor personi
fied and has a mysterious reserve
which enhances her physical per
fections. Furthermore, there are
few who can rival her claim to
having the most nearly perfect I
figure in the film colony.
Although a comparative new
comer to the movie capital of the
world, an English-born young lady
who has already won an impres
sive following bi United States
ranks as one of the paragons of
pulchrit She is Madeleine
Carroll. ..or refreshing and typ
ically English beauty automatic
ally causes heads to turn as she
strolls down Sunset boulevard or
attends a "movie premiere.
Drawing from still another
country to complete this inter
national beauty roster, one would
nominate the dark and turbulent
Dolores Del Rio. Her sultry
brunet charm, flashing black eyes,
and exotic personality well qualify
her to carry the torch for the
Latin type.
There are others who quite as
deservedly might be ranked among
thin bevy of beauties, but there are
few who would poll more votes
than the above four. Those who
knew Hillie Dove at the height of
her career might challenge her
omission, but among the movie
queens of today who rank as
natural beauties, the names of
Ixuise, Dietrich, Carroll and Del
Rio top the list.

as a Matter of Value
tYorti a standpoint of cost for value received, there w
scarcely anything that approaches The Mountaineer.
The Mountaineer, at only $1.50 per year, offers the
people of Haywood County a value greater than any other
necessity of tlve household.
The paper is constructive, new and appealing each
week; alive with local news, features and pictures, and is
a ralue that no progressive family can afford to ovrrlook.
Almost 2,000 families recognize the VALUE of The
Mountaineer.
