WHERE RANSOM WILL GRADUATE CLASS TUESDAY 1 NI Hollywood DAY BY DAY By International News Service (Copyright, 1937) This picture business has its drawbacks, especially if you like to eat. Take the case of Beverley Roberts, for instance. Her next role, in "Expensive Husbands," calls for an extremely slender, streamlined Beverley and she's on rigid diet of non-fattening, and not very tasty foods, at the Warner Bros, commissary. Beverley's got to lose pounds and pounds. Wayne Morris is determined, anyway.

He's seen his latest picture. "Kid Galahad," 13 times, to discover his errors in acting. Director Richard Thorpe is in his own doghouse. While directing William Powell and Myrna Loy in "Double Wedding," the dialogue amused him so much he burst into laughter in the middle of4 a scene and spoiled the "take." Are you interested in things about horses? Ernesto Cristiani, head of the family which made "equestrian acrobatics" for Pete Smith, says only one horse in 500 can be used for circus riding because a horse must have rhythm for tricks which require split-second timing. Freddie Bartholomew has ruined a lot of pants besides his own.

He's been painting his studio schoolroom, desk, bookcase and chairs. His face didn't fare so well, either. A couple days ago he was using turpentine and a scissors blade to scrape the excess paint off his countenance. Another horse item: Lionel Bar-rymore, who's always been afraid of steeds, has become so friendly with Moon Ray, the race horse he trained in a picture, that he wants to buy the animal. Moon Ray won Lionel's heart by fishing lumps of sugar from his coat pockets.

Warner Bros, says a fallen tree trunk on the banks of the Rock river at Dixon. I1L holds the record of 77 persons saved from drowning by Ronald their new featured player. Reagan, when a life guard, hacked with an axe a notch in the tree following each rescue, they say. A Warren William item: He has his troubles singing with Jean-ette MacDonald in "The Firefly." His basso is too low for Jean-ette, so he has to sing in a higher key, in which he can't get started unless some one bangs a notfr on the studio orchestra piano just as the cameras start turning. When "Firefly" is completed, he plans quite a cruise in his 43-foot schooner; to the Gulf of California and return via Honolulu.

The fate of every young man seeking screen fame is in the hands of his leading woman. At least that's the opinion of John Trent, the erstwhile TWA transport pilot. He opines that the chief requisite of masculine picture acting is the ability to make reel love nonchalantly, suavely. "Now," he asked, "can an inexperienced man act like a master lover?" Then he answered himself: "By getting a good leading woman. By word or gesture of encouragement, she can lift her novice hero above fright, or relegate him to the depths of muscle-bound, tongue-tied terror and that's no fooling." NOTE WAS FOUND Hundreds of official road signs on and near the Golden Gate Bridge tell at a glance the story of traffic regulations as well as direction oi travel for motorists and pedestrians using the great "airway of steel." Some of the various types of signs are shown inset on this view of the bridge looking toward the Marin tower.

California State Automobile Association Photos. I I The Los Angeles lawmaker was I 'indicted by the Sacramento coun- grand jury for allegedly of-j fering money for favorable As-i Lsembly votes on the Welsh oil wii. Approved by both Assembly I and Senate, the bill is now before I Governor Merriam. He has until 2 to give a decision or he may dispose of the measure by a veto." Secret Mission Delegating the state's part in the arraignment to his chief deputy, District Attorney Otis D. Babcock disappeared on a secret mission cloaked in secrecy, believed to be concerned with further investigation, of the legislative probe.

More than half a dozen persons, including three women, are sought for appearance before the grand jury, which returned the indictment against Flint, when it reconvenes June 24. Babcock has predicted that more indictments will be returned when the jury considers the evidence he will lay before them at that time. The investigation has been concerned chiefly with the Welsh oil bill and the Arroyo Seco highway rerouting bill, sponsored by the wealthy South Pasadena socialite, Mrs. Sherman Hoyt. Next sessions of the grand jury are expected to be devoted to the highway bill, desired by the white-haired matron because the approved route would slash through a cactus garden on her estate.

Personally carrying the inquiry to Los Angeles, Babcock obtained from Mrs. Hoyt statements that she had paid Assistant Assembly-Sergeant-at-Arms Raymond Kahl $300 to work for her a "lobbyist." Studies Testimony Also involved in the ramifications of the road bill, whose history contains accounts of a gay champagne dinner in a rose decorated private dining room, are Mrs. Alma Harris and Frances Vickers, both of San Francisco. The grand jury was told that a Mrs. Harris approached assemblyman and told them, "You should get yours," when the lower house was voting on the bill.

Russell said after the arraignment that his study of the grand jury testimony that led to Flint's indictment failed to reveal any conclusive evidence of corruption. "It's just an attempt to influence the governor's decision on the Welsh bill," he said. The measure concerns procedure for leasing state owned tide-land oil pools at Huntington Beach. The legislature also passed the Olsen oil bill, basically opposed to the Welsh plan, which has been approved by Governor Merriam and is now a law. Woodward Will 'GOOD NEIGHBORS'-and 'More Than Bread Alone Policy of THESE RULES TO Motorists Not Permitted To Stop or Make Turns While On Span Speed limit on the Golden Gate bride is 45 miles per hour, under state law which applies to the bridge as a.

part of highway U. S. 101. Motorists are not 'permitted to stop or turn on the bridge. Pedestrians can not cross the bridge roadway but must remain on the sidewalks.

A pedestrian subway on the Marin side is provided for passing from one side of the roadway to the other. Motorists and pedestrians are forbidden to throw any rubbish either on or off the bridge. These and other messages of warning and guidance are brought to the attention of users of the Golden Gate bridge by an array of official road signs installed by the California State Automobile association. Nearly 300 signs comprise the total required for the bridge, its approach structures, and connecting routes. The work was done by the automobile association as official road signing agency for northern and central California, under cooperative arrangements with the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District, with the state division of highways, and with the city of San Francisco.

Besides special signs pertaining to use of the bridge, numerous state and federal route number signs and direction signs have been placed on highways and city streets connecting with the bridge. JR.

Lucas entered a plea of not guilty when he faced Justice of the Peace L.

E. Fulwider for arraignment yesterday. He had originally been charged with a felony, the charge being reduced by District Attorney Toland C. McGettigan after a superior court jury deadlocked at 9 to 3 for acquittal on a drunk driving charge. Lucas is being represented by Attorneys Lewis H.

De-Castle and Ralph DeVoto. Salesman Fined As Tipsy Driver Charged with drunken driving after his automobile careened across the highway and crashed into another car driven by Alfred A. Thurlow, son of Dr. and Mrs. A.

"You'll have to go back to your last legal residence." "I'm sorry, but we are unable to assist single men." Yes, he already knew -all the answers all the read tape that hampered such relief agencies. But he had hoped this town would be different. It was a kindly police officer who suggested the Salvation Army.

When he applied, he hardly hoped for more than a handout. A suggestion that he work a while for food and some new clothing was welcome? Work? Gladly, if he had the chance. He chopped wood, gained increased confidence in himself as he realized he was being given a chance, not charity. And it helped, too, when he paused to realize that the wood he chopped would be used to warm some EDITOR'S NOTE Following is the last of a series of articles on typical work of the Salvation Army, written from actual case records). Stiff from a cold night's sleep on a park bench, the white-haired old man snuffled hopelessly "on the rounds." It was getting to be an old, old story, being shifted and shunted from one relief agency to another, with, never a chance to actually a foothold in some kind of work once more.

Now and then he would get a meal ticket, but always the same old order to "move on" each community had all the idle indigent it could support, there was no place left in the world for the homeless transient. Again, he met the some answers. Polite, but firm. "No, you haven't resided here GET JOHN D'S $25,000,000 What They Do Transient Relief needy home. He was helping oth-! ers, as well as being helped himself.

Odd jobs found by the Salvation Army kept him for a week. Meanwhile, friendly Salvation Army officers had heard the story of how he had left the home of his only son after a petty family disagreement. Through its bureau of missing persons, the Salvation Army managed to locate the son. Past differences were forgotten it was a joyful reunion. Now, he's a happy grandfather, puttering around the garden at the home of his son and daughter-in-law.

He's one of thousand upon thousands of "just Tdrifters" who are being shoved farther and farther down into the depths of despondency as time goes on. Hampered by restrictions and regulations, the ordinary government relief department or semi-public relief agency cannot reach him. They might aid him tem porarily, but then pass him on to the next community with only one thought in mind getting rid of the responsibility. The Salvation Army accepts the challenge differently in carrying out its famous relief motto, "More than bread alone!" Occasionally, the public mis understands the Salvation Army's policy of asking that men work for aid, or that they pay nominal sums for salvaged clothing. It is just the psychological aid that transient drifters need, in jecting into them a new feeling of responsibility.

Value of the clothing is not even considered in such transactions, the nominal charges merely being used to save the pride of the needy and to keep a small fund constantly available to pay needy unemployed for odd jobs.
