THE DETROIT FREE PRESS MONDAY. SEPTEMBER Itf-' aaaBBBB-l s-B-a-al Sana-- Arliss a Finished "Hamilton" WHEN GERMANY AIDS POLAND MIX FINISHES Hvxr U'i rfe 4i sap POLA NEGRI THILDE FORSTEB If the home papers follow American Journalism methods they proba-. bly are printing a lot about "Local Girl Makes Good" In referring to Thllde Fonter, who had the good luck to write a film play for Pola Negri when that Polish actress and her producers were at a complete loss for the right story. Frauletn Forster was on a visit to Hollywood when she heard about Miss Negri's dilemma. She wrote an outline of the story, reached Madame Pola with It and almost immediately It was accepted and put into production.

The two women are working together on the set of "The Woman Commands," which title was given to the picture. Ruth Chatterton Hints Retirement from Films Leave at Expiration Contract BRANION The resourceful builder of stage and screen melodramas, Bayard Veiller, who has to his credit "Within tha Law," "The Thirteenth Chair," "The Trial of Marv Dugan" and "Guilty Hands," has been commissioned to fashion one for Metro, which he has tentatively called "Night Court." Mr. Veiller is an old-time police reporter, so he should know his background. CIRCUS TOUR Wild West Hero Back in Movies By GEORGE SIL4FFER HOLLYWOOD, Sept Torn Mix winds up his circus appearances for this season on the coast this week and the Universal Film Co. has engaged five screen writera to rush film stories for his immediate resumption of screen workw Mix has not played in the movie for two years, since the days when, he drew over $15,000 in salaries, various percentages and side money as the big star of the old Fox outfit Universal figures tha time Is now ripe for a new cleanup on typical Mix cowboy films.

Tha screen writers who are frantically whipping Pegasus over the prairie in a chase for new Mix yarns are Ray Doyle, Don Lee, Randall Faye, Forrest Sheldon and Helen van Upp. Stanley Bergerman is to direct "Ten Gallon Hat" Thomas. Part of Jimmy Cagney's loud re sounding fuss with the Warner Bros, moguls, wfttcn now is smoothed over with Warners acceding to Jimmy's plaintive cry for a salary raise, was due to the studio's refusal to let Cagney accept a luc rative offer for personal appear ances while the studio was shut down this summer. Cagney was offered ten weeks at $3,500 a week. This represent nearly five times the movie salary that he wanted raised.

When Jimmy appeared in th office of the Warner studio mogul, enthusiastic over his chance to cut in on heavy money in the stag appearances, the Warner man frowned him down and refused to permit it "But we will send you on personal appearances ourselves," th studio boss said. "For how much?" asked Jimmy. "Your regular salary." That was Cagney's signal to turn the studio down. Other Items entered into th difference, but you can imagine the feelings of a young actor with an immature bank account who sees $35,000 snatched from his Karen Morley, who made such a hit in recent films that she was chosen a Wampas baby star, haa borne that name only a few month. A couple years ago she was Mildred Linton, a girl Just graduating front Hollywood High School, where she studied dramatics and literary subjects, and prepared for college.

The situation Is explained in the book, "Public Education in Detroit," by Arthur B. Moehlman: "The depression of 1893 had affected Detroit very seriously, so that in 1896-97 the Council and Board of Estimates made a serious cut in appropriations. As a result, the school year was reduced to 38 weeks.

25 teachers were dismissed, and the salaries of others reduced. Two supervisors, the Misses Nettle Kimberlin and Louise Miller, in charge of physical culture and natural sciences, respectively, could not be reappointed because of lack of funds." At that time the system was operating one high school, one normal and ungraded school, 20 full grammar schools and 31 primary schools. IN THIS AGE of speed It seems funny to learn that Gar Wood preserves an ancient custom. Seven guests sat down at the dinner table on the eve of the Harmsworth Tropy races. They noticed a place was set for a ninth person.

someDoay railed to arrive?" a guest asked. "No," Mr. Wood said, "I always keep a place at my table for an unexpected guest" Even when he dines alone there is a place at the table for, as the old books had it "a hungry wayfarer." 24 Hours on Accidents Auto TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS NORMAN BRIGGS, 24, 14533 Bentler his son Reginald, 2, and his wife Vlda, 24; injured at Brush St. and W.

It looked like one of those blue steel automatic pistols Mr.

Sills had been reading about, so he gave up the contents of the restaurant's two cash registers and watched the man stroll out, counting $47. Police later called Mr. Sills from his home, 96 E. Vernor Highway, to identify a man booked as George McDonald, 28 years old, of 1263 Engle who was arrested near the restaurant. McDonald, according to police, had a water squirt-gun and $47 in his pocket when arrested.

John T. Murray Whftton ha lea Fvnna Zckial Larkin Mr. HJntrham- Evelyn Hall First RupmII Simpson Second Ex-So Idler Uurkln By CLARK BRANIOX Mr. George Arliss, that suave technician of the theater, one more has given us a masterpiece of characterization in a screen play which, but for the shrewd portrayal of its central character, would have been merely pleasant to watch, instead of remarkable. This outstanding Englishman, however, never has been false to the part he has undertaken to play.

One feels about him very much as one felt about the golden-voiced Caruso In the old days that never under any conditions could he render a performance other than perfect. The story, briefly, Is concerned with the love of Alexander Hamilton for his country a love so strong that he sacrificed family happiness for its sake. He is framed by his political enemies through a woman, and having become the victim of blackmail, the while trying to protect Lady Hamilton, is falsely accused of buying unpaid soldiers' checks at less than their value, in order to realize a profit on them after a law centralizing the nation's debts has been passed. Mr. Arliss has the faculty of giving glamor to a character when otherwise it might be a commonplace, everyday personality.

Not that Alexander Hamilton was uninteresting as a personage; but Mr. Arliss makes him, as well as all the other characters, historical and otherwise, he has portrayed, a person of life, warmth and vigor, taking him utterly out of the category of historical figure, and making him primarily a human being. The remainder of the cast has been expertly selected by John AdolphI, who incidentally, has done a masterly job of directing. Doris Kenyon as Lady Hamilton, contributes a beautiful performance, to which her luxurious low voice lends an added charm. June Collyer, as Mrs.

Reynolds, turns In a finished piece of acting, and the other players are correspondingly excellent CHAPLIN STUDIO RESUMES ACTION Sound Equipment Indicates He May Make Talkie HOLLYWOOD, Sept 5 (U. Much activity at the Charles Chaplin studios Indicate that the comedian who recently drew his European trip to a close, has plans for the future which will Include talking pictures. Equipment for producing dialogue and sound has been installed About the only talkie device lack ing to complete the noisy panto- mine is recording equipment. Hollywood immediately started to buzz with rumors that Charlie might stand right out before the world and talk in his next picture. It.

was generally believed by those close to Chaplin that he would bring back from Europe some new and perhaps daring innovation for the moving picture drama. Chaplain has long expressed a de sire to make a "perfect talkie in which he would not talk. The sound and dialogue would be left to other members of his cast. Incidentally Chaplin will bring with him from Europe Harry d'Arrast, who will direct the com edian's future productions. They naa long conrcrences in Europe and are supposed to have planned the production of a number of pictures based on Chaplin's orlgt nal stories.

NEEDS TWO DIRECTORS Because of the lengthy and diffi cult shooting of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," Robert Lee has relinquished his position as a Paramount director to be assistant director to Rouben Mamoulian on this single production. Lee was assigned the duties at the request of Mamoulian, with whom he served as assistant on "City Streets," before becoming a director. Mamoulian and Lee will work with an all-star cast headed by Fredric March, Miriam Hopkins and Rose Hobart.

TE4CHTXG POLICEMEN "how to set their man" is an everyday lob for Capt. William I.

Cross, of the State Police Training School. He has just completed directing a month of police training of the Crosse Pointe and St. Clair Shores departments. "We don't want any more hard-boiled coppers," says Capt. Cross.

i "There's no need to lose your head. Tour work Is your business and any business should be conducted with a cool head." Capt. Cross illustrated his convictions by teaching his pupils mod-rn methods of handling hoodlums nd stick-up men. By a quick gesture and a solid grip on a- nerve center, the policemen learned, any touph character can be made to mind without fear of violence. Capt.

Cross was quite satined with the manner and poise exhibited by the Grosse Pointe and St. Clair Shores Police when practicing their new holds. "These boys are really enthusiastic," he said, "and even if they arn't hard-boiled nobody's going to call them 'sissies'." 1TH THE OPENING of the American Legion convention In Detroit at hand, James E. Mccarty, chief of detectives, Is augmenting his pickpocket squad to a strength of 50 men. Ordinarily, only four detectives handle this form of crime Thomas Ferry, Albert Henderson, Fred Phillips and Alvin Chaplcy so old timers are saying that it's just like pre-Volstead days when a large number of officers was necessary to cope with scores of pickpocket arrests monthly.

Records compiled for Inspector George Abel, head of the police department record bureau, by Clayton F. Protzman, department statistician, show that 1,300 arrests of pickpockets were made in 1918 as tgainst only 74 last year. Detroit police officials predict the absolute passing of the "dip" society's chief offender in the crime world of the mauve decade but they're not going to take any chances during the stay here of the thousands upon thousands of Le-gionaires. "There Is no place in the scheme ef the modern underworld," observes Chief McCarty, "for the pickpocket. He hasn't the nerve to go to work and he's too 'nervous' to be trusted with a gun in a 'big1 Job." "Once a pickpocket, always a pickpocket," says Detective Tom Ferry.

"There are only a few of the old ones left and they generally follow conventions, circuses and the like. They're good for nothing else, that's all. The old fellows have become "changers" stealing quarters, dimes and nickels from drunks In speakeasies and sleeping men on street cars or park benches. "They were big shots in their day, these "changers," but I guess the profession is dying out all right when they come to such an nd. "Don't you?" MRS.

EDITH SENSKA, at the Information desk of the Receiving Hospital: "We see the unusual humorous happenings here as well the sordid. Take the Negro who was brought in here the other day suffering from several Ice-pick stabs. When asked how it all happened, he said: 'Oh, my wife jes got to tlcklin' me a li'l with it."

When her parents ordered dessert, Chris Roumell, proprietor of a Lafayette Blvd. restaurant reports, she was served some ice cream.

The four-year-old girl looked at the ice cream a minute. "Listen," she asked, "How about me having some gravy on this?" COL. GERALD E. CRONIN, attorney "The reason why the Legion Conventions are so successful each year Is due largely to the spirit of brotherhood among the soldiers and sailors and the desire to see old friends of the military life again. College fraternities and lodge brotherhoods have a certain warmth between members but nothing comparable to that of the sen-ice men." HE'S THE ONLY ONE of his kind in Detroit, is Henry Weigman, repair man at the Grlnnell Bros.

A number of old Detroit families still cherish their melodians, he said. They won't part with them for all the new pianos in the world.

But melodians are -not kept In stock any more and when one of them, because of old age, developes wheezes, Mr. Weigman Is the one who is summoned. Travelers often pick up strange musical instruments in foreign lands. When thev eet them here they discover that the climate de stroys the tone.

Later she said she would reach her goal in two years.

Now it is reported that Ruth Chatterton, one of the greatest box-office attractions ever known in the movies, and certainly one of its really great actresses, will retire at the expiration of her present contract with Warner which amounts to about $700,000 for six pictures. Under Miss Chatterton's present contract, about which some little fuss was made, the star is allowed to select her own stories (a most important provision), make suggestions as to their treatment, and choose her own director. 1 There is an Interesting and unique short at the United Artists theater this week. Done entirely in color, it shows what the correct application of cosmetics can do towards beautifying an average face. The transformation is astounding.

Erich von Stroheim, Hollywood's most extravagant director, will handle a picture for Fox called "Walking Down Broadway." There's a catch to it.

He will get no money until the picture is completed, and then only if finished on time.
