There an intangible something a boat this sterling actor which makes him as fascinating in a dust-covered sombrero i silk topper and without the aid of either in his current production be gives a performance that will long be remembered. His role is that of a construction engineer, who, upon the death of a workman in an accident for which be is partly responsible, takes it apon himself to care for the man's family. The family consists of four waifs, the oldest, a girl of about IS, impersonated by the charming iMarian Nixon.

John Blystone, the director, has successfully captured the rich humor and innate humanness of the story, which is ased upon Mildred Cram's novel, "Fcotch Valley," and Baxter is admirably supported by a cast, which in addition to Miss Xlson, includes Rita La-Roy, William Pawley, David Landau and Clarence Wilson, as well as four of Hollywood's most capable child players, Joe Hachey, Gail Kornfeld, Joan Breslaw and Frankie Darro. Park -Unholy Garden." The spirit of adventure is again reflected in Ronald Colman's latest picture, "The Unholy Garden," showing for the last time at the Park theatre today. Samuel Goldwyn engaged Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht, authors of "The Front Page," to write the story expressly for Colman. It is a story of adventure of the Algerian desert George Fitzmaurice directed and the cast includes Fay Wray, Estelle Taylor, Tully Marshall, Warren Hymer, Ullric Haupt, Henry Armetta, Kit Guard, Lawrence Grant and Lucille La Verne.

There was a great scurry around the White House yesterday afternoon when somebody added up some figures which were in President Hoover's address to the governors' conference at Richmond Wednesday, and found that the President's addition was wrong. The figures were those of Federal, state and local expenditures, including debt retirement from surplus, for the year 1930. They were: Federal. $4,200,000,000. State, $2,300,000,000.

Local, $7,500,000,000. The total as given in the President's speech was $134200,000,000. The reader may add tip those figures for himself and see what he gets.

IS SLIGHTLY BETTER IN PITTSBURGH, April 30. UP General business improved slightly in the Pittsburgh district during the past week. Industrial production and demand was better. Men's and women's wearing apparel sold In greater volume as did millinery, but prices continue low. Light hardware, farm implements and toois were among commodities showing improvement.

Industrial operations were slightly better. A few steel mills stepped up production. Fairly good movement of electrical appliances and automobile accessories was reported. Sanitary and heating appliances were reported in little demand. Demand for window and plate glass was slow.

Production of plate glass was estimated at SO per cent, less during March than in the corresponding period in 1961. Crude oil production was unchanged. All Pennsylvania grades were increased 30 cents a barrel. The coke market in the Connellsville district remained practically unchanged. A decrease of 00 tons was reported.

The decline was attributed to producers regulating output to correspond with the demand and was not considered a continuation of the decreases of the past weeks. Prices were unchanged. 9 P.M. TONIGHT PENNEY'S 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ENDS BUY NOW J. C.

Suddenly the hand that beid the grease paint pausci, as, with a quick decision. the star decided to gamble bis inure on beiDg bimself." This, Maurice Chevalier revealed today while working on "Love Me Ti-nigbt," bis seventh picture for Para mount, stands forth as the inost mo-1 mentous occasion in bis colorful career. For, with that sudden resolution, Chevalier took the chance of having a dream of many years shattered- If he failed to impress the audien-e iu natural costume he never again vould have the courage to make the attempt. "You see," he smiled, "I was a eomique for many years. And what a comique! I tell you I was like the burlesque fellow with all those tunny clothes and face.

I sang funny songs and did comic dances and was very much at home. 1 had never been without heavy makeup and audiences never knew me any other way. People had welcomed me in that makeup. When that happens and when one goes to bigger and bigzer music halls with a character like that he is a good friend on which one leans. I trusted him and loved him.

"I used to say to myself: 'Maurice, what would those people do if yon did not nse this make-up? How would you feel? Would they laugh But I could not answer myself. I wanted to try and see how it would be but no, I was afraid. "Then, one night, when I am making np, I stop suddenly and decide. Before I can back out, I have all the plaster from my face. In my diess-ing room is my tuxedo and I put it on.

Then I think, I will wear a hat. But what hat? I try a lot. But none will do, I think, but the straw hat. With a tuxedo it looks like a what shall we say a wink. Something gay and debonair.

"So I go out to the wings and how nervous I am. But that is nothing to what happens when I come on the stage. No one applauds. No one smiles. "I smile.

I tip my hat, but only do I see uninterested, puzzled, cold faces. My heart sinks. I wish I could run off and hide behind my old funny man. "But I must sing. I start.

Then I see the faces change. They are puzzled, yes, but not uninterested. Then someone calls my name. I smile and nod as though to say, 'Yes, it's Maurice'. Then the whole audience calls to me and I never did smile and laugh so much.

They simply had not known me! "After that I see how foolish I have been to always play the comique and not Maurice. Little by little I drop my funny man. He was like a big sign 'I am funny' as though I am afraid I really am not funny at all unless I tell folks so. After 1 bid him goodbye I feel freer and improve fast. It is the big lesson I have learned that one must not seek protection in artificialities." The public's habit of referring to anyone who has appeared on the screen even once during the past 20 years as a "movie star." received a rebuke when Evalyn Knapp flew into Kansas City to participate in an R.

O. T. C. circus. Majors and colonels of the reception committee fluttered about her, calling her a "movie star." Evalyn arched her brows.

"Where is the movie star?" she asked, looking about her in surprise. "I'm just a bit player, you know." Speaking of stars, who Is the most popular film luminary in Hollywood? You're wrong! Betty Boop, the capricious little cartoon lady who appears in Max Fleischer's Paramount Talkartoons and Screen Songs can be proved without question to be the most popular personage on the screen today by the simple expedient of applying all of Hollywood's accepted tests for fame. In the first place, public demand determines the number of pictures in which a star appears each season. Miss Betty will make 18 appearances during the next year. Can even Dietrich or Garbo match that? Moreover Betty has two leading men In every picture.

When that happens to most feminine stars they are flattered. But Betty Boop takes it for granted that Bimbo and Koko will form a background for her talents in each production. Then there is the question of "still" pictures. Betty poses for 15,000 of these each week. Enough said.

Despite the pinnacle on which she stands, Betty is not a bit upstage. She has graciously granted interviews to fan magazines and newspapers and her tremendous fan mail was directly responsible for her elevation to star- doom. But we forget. Betty has another claim to fame. She is the film star who wears fewer clothes than Jean Harlow.

This is the inside story whic'a reveals why Doug Fairbanks always boasts that he could have been middleweight 'boxing champion of America if he had not chosen a picture career instead. Fifteen years ago he made a film entitled "His 'Picture in the Papers" in which big scene was a prize fight. The director hired the Sharkey Athletic Club here in New York and staged a regular bout with the guests recruited from the town's elite. Jack Denning, who came near being the middle-weight champ in those days was Doug's opponent. In the second round Jack got excited, forgot it was just a moving picture and slipped over a stiff punch to the chin which caused Fairbanks' knees to sag.

Realizing then what he had done, Denning went Into a clinch and held on until the star's head had cleared. The crowd thought the professional was hanging on because Doug was giving him a beating and booed. Fearing that Fairbanks might think he hnd slipped the punch over on pur. pose, Denning apologized adroitly after the bout, saying: "Mister Fairbanks, you almost finished me in the second round. I had to clinch." "Sorry I was rough," said Doug and slipped him an extra $20 bill.

Although Hollywood is the cradle of a rnnMlv developed baby indnstrv. it i ni.i enough to have witnessed the rise and lau ot many movie generatiots. Ordinarily, five years are more than enough for a young star to reach the prime of his success and decline into oblivion. The public is fickle that way. Whenever a studio issues a call for extras, especially for scenes in which scores or hundreds must appear, many of those answering the call have faces strangely familiar to veteran studio employes.

They are faces of those art actresses who once were great Former stars who used to earn large salaries: former artists who spent their money as fast as thev mado ii- nnri dependent upon odd bits now and then to neip tnem toward their thret-a-day. More than 200 unemployed studio workers and members of their families are fed daily by the Paramount studio club relief fund. Donations to the fund are voluntary, made by studio workers who probably feel that in a few years they, too. might need a little help of that kind. Large boxes of staple food supplies are distributed to the families.

Swinging to a lighter vein of thought the University of Southern California band, famed for its snappy performances at football games, will be seen in the RKO picture, "Hold 'em Jail." But the players will be in convict suits instead of their brilliant uniforms, playing martial and college music between halves of the game which will feature the picture. The film is based on the performance of the Sing Sing football team of last fall, and has plenty of opportunity to develop into a riot of laughs, especially with Bert Wheeler.
