Sixteen TIMER TOONE 61 et DOROTHY CHRISTY BECOMES STAR Reading Girl Here with Will Rogers in Picture Next Week Not so long ago she was Miss Dorothy Seltzer, who stamped and stacked books at the Reading Public library; now she is Dorothy Christy, stunning blonde actress climbing to the top of Hollywood fame. This Reading girl now on her way to stardom, plays a lead in Will Roger's newest picture, "So This is London," which will come to Reading next week. She plays the part of Lady Amy Duckworth, aristocrat of intelligence and charm. Just "Blew In" While many girls have become movie famous only after years of discouraging effort.

Dorothy Christy just "blew in." A little over two years ago, she lived quietly at home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Seltzer, 604 N. Fifth socially popular and with her own circle of friends, little different from hundreds of other Reading girls.

She danced, played bridge, and during the day was a librarian. She occasionally took part in amateur productions here, but never thought of making a career of acting. Until one day, she describes it herself, "I found myself on Broadway headed for the office of no Zieefeld. But it was not Ziegfeld who was to glorify Dorothy Christy. She wanted to get on.

the legitimate stage so she declined an offer from the Impresario and went to work as an understudy for Schwab and Mandel. It. was not an easy road, says Miss Christy but her efforts soon placed her in roles in such Broadway head liners, as "Follow Thru," and "The New Moon." Gets Part Quickly Just as suddenly as she packed her bag and went to New York, so quickly she packed her bag and headed for Hollywood. When the producers saw her in a stage play, "In His Arms," as a shop window model it did not take them long to offer her a movie part. A Fox representative on the opening; night of the play offered her the part in the Will Roger's picture.

Tape Gets Fingerprints That Elude Photography St. Louis Police Official's Invention Beats Crooks' Scheme ST.

LOUIS. Aug. 3 M') Footpads may fool the detective's camera sometimes by leaving fingerprints only on mirrors or beveled surfaces, but they don't baffle Lieut. Richard M. Joyce that way.

He has devised a means of recording the tell tale marks wherever they may be. Joyce, chief of the identification bureau of the St. Louis police department, has fashioned a flexible, enduring tape that permits reproduction of latent fingerprints from surfaces of any description something special cameras could not always do. His tape consists of a Shin layer of hardened, gummy substance on a background of heavy, stiff fabric, protected by a sheet of mica. It works this way: How It Work A little powdered aluminum is sprinkled on the fingerprint, the excess brushed away, and the tape applied after the mica sheet is removed.

Replacing the mica after recording the print, there is available a copy of the finger mark that ordinarily should last forever. Elastic, the tape may be used on any surface, rough or smooth. Lieutenant Joyce thinks it should make every peace officer his own detective and fingerprint expert. 'It undoubtedly will bring a greater number of criminals to justice," he says. "The reason is easy.

Heretofore the possession and operation of cameras used to photograph prints were too much of a luxury to smaller communities where thieves operate just as they do in big cities. All That's Necessary "Now all the peace officer need do Is use a square inch of the tape and send the copy to the nearest bureau to be identified. There is no chance for mistaken Identity in the fingerprint method of Identifying criminals. It Is either he or it is not.

ffl fl SHAW IN FIGHT OVER DAD'S RUM Resents Preacher Taking Him to Task for Talking About Father FOLKSTONE, Aug. 3 W) J. C. Carlile, former president of the Baptist union and prominent English preacher, in a sermon today took George Bernard Shaw to task for the writer's references to his father's drunkeness made in a preface to a new edition of his works. "No doubt all that Mr.

Shaw says about the old man's manners and drunken habits is true," the preacher said, "but it Is not chivalrous to bring back from the dead and exhibit his nastiness as an excuse for his son's rudeness." The writer said that in the early days of, his youth his family suffered social ostracism because of his father's weakness for drink. SHAW WANTS TO DO OWN TALKING ABOUT FAMILY LONDON, Aug. 3 (P) George Bernard Shaw last no time tonight in replying to Dr. C. Carlile, prominent Baptist preacher, who in a sermon at Folkstone reproached him for writing of the elder Shaw as "the worst type of drunkard." References to the drunkeness of Shaw's father occur in a preface to a new edition of the works of G.

B. S. "Who is this Dr. Carlile?" Shaw asked reporters tonight. "This appears to me to be the sort of reprimand which usually comes from people who think that because the truth is unpleasant one should tell lies.

Careles i Language "To say that I described my father as 'the worst type of drunkard' is absurd. It is thoroughly careless language. I really write and tell the truth, and if a story is to be told about my family, I would rather tell it myself in my own way than leave it to a gentleman who might be out just to tell lies. "My father certainly drank a good deal, but to describe him 8 'the worst type of drunkard' a ridiculous exaggeration. Dr.

Carlile obviously does not think before he speaks. "Then when Carlile talks about speaking well of the dead, how far is he willing to carry I wonder, if he happened to be preaching about Henry VIII or 'Bloody' Queen Mary, would he say nothing disparaging about them? "It is better to wait until people are dead before one says anvthing unkind about them. The idea that we shouldn't say anything unkind about the dead is a thoroughly false one."

Aug. 3 UP) Shrimp and lobster fishermen along the Breton coast have heavy losses through a plague of octopi which not only drove away their source of livelihood, but damaged the shrimp nets.

The fishermen declared a war of extermination on the twiney armed "devil fish," but found themselves handicapped by the depth, of the water and the rocky configuration of the bottom. Never before, old sailors have said, has such a plague been known and they have been unable to give a satisfactory reason for this summer's invasion. The orHy cheering feature is that many of the octopi become stranded when they venture into shallow water and die as the tide, recedes.
