We also have heard that Norma Talmadge Is sure to surprise everyone with her talkie now made and ready for release. What about Mary Plckford in "Coquette?" What about Ronald Colman In "Bulldog Drummond?" Can you really think of any big star who has made a flop In tho talkies? There Isn't one well known player who need retire because of sound pictures. Most of the Hollywood stars are in a better spot than they were before the invasion of the Vitaphone and the Movietone. The men and women screen players have the personality, the technique and the experience of years that nothing can take away. Doesn't it stand to reason, then, that the stage stars out here, all of whom have much to learn, cannot hope to actually overthrow the movie favorites? Certainly you cannot build a movie following for any stage star overnight.

Cross-Word Puzzle OUR ANCESTORS Tfltt flUrritt STECIAL HISrATOH TO thi lnqcibii. Los Angeles, August 17 Less than a year ago a Broadwayite Imported here to improve the "talkies," sarcastically said, "In six months there won't be a movie star on the screen." We listened to this rash statement and wondered. "What If he spoke the truth? How heartbreaking if the old Xavorltes were unable to meet the exigencies of the microphone. The thought was appalling and particu-arly bitter to this writer, who has such affectionate regard for so many cf the Hollywood folk. We sat back and waited.

We heard cf dozens of Broadway stars brought here by Winfield Sheehan for the Fox Company. We listened to Jack Warner explain how he had signed Marilyn Miller, Vivian Segal and scores of other noted musical comedy favorites. We were told at the Metro-Goldwyn-Slayer's studio that the scenario writers were taking their orders from NewYprk playwrights and It seemed 'hat the end for those who had made silent pictures a success, had arrived. In the rush of Hollywood happenings, this dire phophecy of complete annihilation of our'fllm favorites has become only a memory. We have concentrated on other subjects end more or less forgotten what the Broadwayite threatened for our screen stars.

Forgotten, perhaps, because, In spite of the many changes in Hollywood, things are going along much as usual. A year has elapsed since the first successful talkie made its appearance and threatened to change the personnel of the screen. Let's look the situation over and see at this writing how the Hollywood stars fare in the battle of the stage versus the screen. Richard Barthelmens, who was mentioned as one of the stars about to sing his swan song, has just made an exceptionally good picture called 'The Drag." In voice. In personality and in ability to speak lines, Richard peed not bow to any New York star.

Then again comes the question, "But what about singing?" Have we had any better voice that that of Ramon Kovarro in "The Gagan?" Very little has been said about Novarro's voice, those who have heard him sing are asking for more. What is that old wheeze "The proof of the pudding is in the eating?" John Boles really belongs to the movies. He was already established In Hollywood when the talkies descended upon us. He came here, you will remember, as Gloria Swanson's leading man. He made one picture With La Belle Swanson and then came many lean days for young Boles, who for weeks did not seem to be able to lind himoelf a job.

He finally made a few silent pictures, and when the talkies came he was given the singing role in "The Desert Song." Mr. Coles has been a sensation throughout the country. William Haines has Improved Ills place on the screen immeasurably with the talkies. Billie's southern accent delights his admirers. We could mention any number of pther movie leading men who have talked themselves into a good place In the sound pictures, but let's give the girls a hand.

Norma Shearer in "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney" was given Basil Rath-bone, a New York stage favorite and a cast almost completely composed of stage folks. Was the comparison too much for Miss Shearer? It certainly was not. She spoke her lines and held her own to tho complete satisfaction of all who saw and heard her. As for "The Trial of Mary Du-gan," well, that was one of the first of our talkies and Is still regardji one of the best.

"The Hollywood Revue of 1929" gave the fans here In Hollywood an idea of what Marion Davles will do In her first all-talking picture, in the way of singing and dancing. Ehe sings one song and does a tap dancing number that compares with anything offered by. any; of the stage players. Bessie Love, Patsy Ruth Miller, Llla Lee, Evelyn Brent have all not only conquered the "Mike," but have done so well in the talkies that they are chosen in preference to any stage folk who may come here. And what about Warner Baxter Who was about to accept second-rate parts when the "talkies" took him out of a rut, and established him as a favorite.

Lawrence Grey who was struggling along as a leading man with a talent that can be compared to any one of a dozen other Juveniles, has been given a big hand at the IMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio, all because he sings well and because his voice is particularly well adapted to the microphone. Robert Frazer was looking for a job to help pay the rent, but now he Is in constant demand. Conrad Nagel probably the most sought after leading man in the talkies, Is today more strongly entrenched than he has ever been since he came to Hollywood some six years ago.

There has been nothing: sensational about the batting of any of the leaders In the American League during this week. Foxx and Blmmons remain first and second, respectively, though young Jimmy dropped from team honors heretofore.

These are the two lightest hitting teams in the league, and Incidentally, play their home games In the two largest fields in the league, but heretofore they have managed to loft more than one ball a week outside the reach of the outfielders.

The home run average was maintained fairly well however, as 28 round trip blows were registered in 26 games. The Robins were the feature sluggers with eight of the 28 circuit drives. Floyd Herman, Brooklyn outfielder, leads the Individual race one point above the average he had a week ago, .413. Herman was at bat 21 times and made 10 hits, one a home run. O'Doul, Philadelphia, registered 12 safeties In 25 times at bat to boost his mark from .380 to .386.

"Lefty" also contributed two homers which brings his total for the season to 23. Bill Terry gained one point for an average of .379, fifteen points above Hendrlck who has .364, Sukeforth, Cincinnati catcher, climbs to fifth place by making 8 hits in 15 times up. Hornsby has scored 109 runs for the prospective champions. Terry is first Our forefathers in both England and New England, made their best men Constables and Captains of militia, and clothed both offices with dignity and honor. Historically, the one office was as honorable as the other, for Constables and Commanders of Militia were in ancient times one and tho same.

Have we a Constable for an ancestor? He would seem to be the only ancestor needed to open doors of patriotic societies to long waiting lists. As stated above, James Warriner was a Constable, and for nine years, or from 1685 to 1694, also a Selectman for several years. Although we may not be War-rlners at present, by name, as it is unnecessary to add, we may claim Warriner aervlces if a Booth, by name, let us say, or a Noble, or a Burt, and tracing back we find James Warriner and his father, William, due a place on the genealogical chart, names which entitle to various honors. Hannah, sister of James Warriner, married Thomas Noble, on November 1, 1660; and Joseph Warriner, the brother, was the husband of Mary Montague. Elizabeth, daughter of Constable James Warriner, was the wife of Henry Burt, of the well-known family of Massachusetts.

There is a marriage connection with the Booths in Colonial days and the book, "Booth and Allied Families," by Charles Edwin Booth, gives interesting records of branch. Both the Burts and the Booths furnished valuable services to the Colonies in Colonial days and can be depended upon for help if we aim to be "Joiners." An illustrated volume, published In 1899, of 28T pages, is called a history and genealogy of William Warriner, of Springfield, and his descendants, from 1638 to 1898. The compiler Is one of the descendants, Edward Warriner. There is also another family history and records are found in genealogies of allied lineages. Among the number are the families of Hitchcock, Chapln, Strong, Montague, each has its published genealogy.

The first century of Springfield, by Burt; Hartford County, by Trumbull; New Haven Colony, by Atwater, these also give records of the Warrlners. METRO GETS BARGAIN.

if III To If fe? ww TTl 1 I Erl I Warriner Family. By Prances M. Smith. iF YOU are on the. distaff side of the house and wish to join the Society of Colonial Dames, this should be possible If you are of Warriner ancestry.

Naturally the Society of Colonial Wars Is for the other side of the house. William Warriner, born In England, and. a first settler at Springfield, where he died in 1676, held various offices and was the father of two sons, James and Joseph, and a daughter, Hannah. Their mother was Joanna Searle, also born in England. She and William were married in Gpring-field.

After her death he married again, but had no other children. James Warriner, of the second generation, of the son of William and Joanna (Searle) Warriner, is the bright particular ancestor on this genealogical chart. He was twice a member of expeditions which were sent out from tfjrlng-field by Colonel Pynchon, for protection from threatened attacks of the Indians, the first, September 21, 1688, and the second in 1634. It is also on record that he probably rendered service during King Philip's war. It may be possible to prove that he was in service.

Besides these activities James held office as Constable and Selectman. Regarding the duties of Constables, In New England they were of a decidedly military character and closely resembled their English prototype in "the ancient days. Thesb duties were relaxed somewhat in later Colonial times. Constables were practically military officers. There was the military organization of "The Watch," which was a kind of constabulary patrol to guard against Indian attacks.

The Constable was required to view the ammunition which every Inhabitant was ordered to have in readiness. Each town was put in working military form by monthly trainings under Constables. He must "see the arms whether they be serviceable or noe," which duty later, was given to the clerk of the train band. Nor Is this all the Constable was a busy man, for he had civil duties also to perform. He collected the county rate; he warned freemen to attend election meetings; executed the commands of the Court; served warrants from Magistrates, raised the "hue and cry;" could summon other citizens to assist him In the performance of his duties.

He was, in fact, the embodiment of the law, and that no one might plead ignorance of his authority, he carried a black staff, five feet long, with a brass tip five or six inches In length. This emblem signifies, historically, the approach of authority. 1WM WOMB AFr.4 101 adhered 102 color 104 part of the face (Pi.) 106 plural ending of many nouns 107 articles of clothing 108 ciphers 110 hone 112 through 114 manuscript (abbr.) 115 eating together 117 point of the compass 118 knock 121 field of combat 12b child 124 close 126 long, narrow scarf 128 conduit 129 mother of 1 beat vigorously 2 comfort 3 pro-claimer 4 cognizance 5 mother 6 hotel 7 perishes 8 Jong, narrow openings 9 rules 10 expecting 11 Roman 12 unaspir-ated 13 fortune 14 upon 15 that woman 16 portions 17 compel 18 tall, thick grass 24 dreariness 27 more aching 30 later 32 cook before a fire 33 fatigued 36 correlative of either 37 bargains 39 port 40 man's nickname 41 hug pearl 130 heavy winds 132 state 133 again 134 before 135 glide on ice 136 bothersome person Ooojrtiht. 1821.
