He Studies Hands. _
Character study, the scrutiny of
faces and gesturing hands, the rev-
elation of a man’s spirit in his phy-
sical coptours, is an absorbing pas-
sion with Chaney.
Hands fascinate him peculiarly.
Members of Chaney’s family were
deaf mutes, and Lon was compelled
to communicate with them by man-

usual degree how thought, impulse,

Deep absorption, alternating be-

This picture is adapted from the
late novel by Sinclair Lewis, with
two slight changes in the plot.
Marmont appears as Ralph Pres-
cott, a New York lawyer, who longs
to escape from the effete civiliza-
tion about him, and become a real
he-man.
In company with Wesson Wood-
bury, a manufacturer, he hies him
to the. woods of Canada, to kill
bear and grow manly. He soon
tires of Woodbury, who is some-
thing of a boor, and goes to visit
Joe Easter, a trader of Mantrap
Landing. Easter is played by Er-
nest Torrence, and Clara Bow ap-
pears as his wife, Alverna.
Alverna is beautiful, and a for-
mer manicure girl, given to flirting
with all available males. Prescott
soon succumbs to her allure. Not
wishing to be treacherous to his
friend, he gets into a canoe and
starts back to New York.
But Alverna insists on going with
him.
After some adventurer with a
forest fire and a deserting guide,
they are overtaken by Easter. He
says he is going to sen Alverna
to Minneapolis, but she says that
she will have neither of the men.
Prescott departs alone for New
York, and Easter for Mantrap.
Later, Alverna returns to her
husband, promising reform. He is
exultant, but realizes in a moment
that she can never^change.

Lon Chaney Mystery
Man To Hollywood
BY JACK JUNGMEYER
NEA Service Writer
HOLLYWOOD, July 1«.—The
cloistered simplicity of Lon Chaney’s
off-stage life, in striking contrast to
that of most Hollywood celebrities,
has raised an air of mystery about
this side of th© famous character
actor’s existence, Every few of his
studio associates know- where Cha-
ney goes or what he does after he
removes the greasepaint.
He goes home. Then, with scarce-
ly a variation, he eats supper with
his good wife, helps her wipe the
dishes, dons his slippers, reads the
real estate page of the newspaper
and goes to bed. Once in a while
he attends a fight. Outside visit-
ing and visitors are rare events.
Hollywood’s showplaces and soi-
rees see none of Chaney. Hence
the “mystery” about the man who
has made a tidy fortune and a
great reputation with his grotesque
grimaces and bodily distortions.

Patsy Ruth appears as Marie
Downey, a humble little country,
girl who falls in love with Clifford
Dudley, a Broadway matinee idol.
She follows him to New York, in
spite of his disdain, and secures a
place in the chorus of a show that
is rapidly going broke.
One night, the chorus are discuss-
ing the wiles of the heart-smashing
Dudley. Marie, defending him, an-
nounces that she is his fiancee. The
manager of the show seizes upon
this information as good publicity,
the press take up the cry, and the
show is put upon its feet. Dudley
humiliates Marie by complimenting
her upon her clever publicity stunt.
But Marie now becomes a stage
star, and Dudley begins to pay
court to her. For revenge, she ex-
tracts a proposal and publicly hu-
miliates him. Then realizing what
a shabby trick this is, she writes to
beg forgiveness, and leaves for her
-rural home.
Dudley follows her, matters are
straightened out, and they are at
last authentically engaged.

Drama of Life (X

[Associated Press Dispatch to Statesman.)
CANTON, Ohio, July IT.—No ar-
rests had been made early today as
a result of the Investigation into the
aaaaaainatlon of Dan R. Mellett,
publisher of the Canton Daily News,
and authorities declared they had
no definite clues.
Spurred by offera of 812,100 in re-
wards for the capture and convic-
tion of the slayers, detectives and
special agents were expected to add
their efforts to the inquiry today.
Funeral srevices for the editor
crusader who was shot shortly after
midnight yesterday, it is believed
because of his frequent attacks on
the vice lorda of Canton, will be
held tomorrow.
The state took its place today
with federal and county authorities
in the hunt for the assassins.
Governor Donohey’s personal in-
vestigator, C. H. Ssson, was order-
ed from Columbus yesterday to aid
in the nvestigatien.- He is to keep
the governor’s office informed of
progress in the case.
In his relentless fight against
crime in Canton, for which he gave
his life, Mellett conferred with th©
governor here for more than an
hour July 7.

Always Aloof.
There is something definitely aloof
if not exactly anti-social about Lon
Chaney. He lives much within
I himself.
No man in his profession takes
himself more seriously or studies
the possibilities of mimicry more
earnestly than the creator of such
striking screen roles as the fake
cripple of "The Miracle Man." "The
Hunchback of Notre Dame," “Fa-
gin," “The Phantom of the Opera,”
the crook in "The Unholy Three,"
the evil brother in “The Blackbird,
and the dive keeper in his most re-
cent "The Road to Mandalay.”
The front door of his modest home
is the deadline between professional
concerns and domestic relaxations.
Beyond its sill shop talk is taboo.
And while Chaney himself never
seems completely free from brood-
ing some new character to add to
his galaxy of crooks, outcasts or
unfortunates, th© occasional visitor
may not pry into these preoccupa-
tions.
"My home," says Lon, “is my
own, and the public. I’m sure, has
no curiosity about my domestic
life." Thus, amiably and tactfully,
he has always diverted an intrusive
interest in his private affairs.
Police were searching Friday
afternoon for two unidentified
white boys who fled with sn auto-
mobile belonging to Les Lawsha,
negro, 708 East 18th street. Lawsha
said he parked the car near the in-
tersections of 19th and Chicon
streets. When he left it the boys
stepped into it and fled at a high
rate of speed, he told police.
Dr. George Green has returned
from ths military encampment at
Palacios and will be present for
both the Sunday services in hia
church.
O. E. Olander, former president
and founder of the Texas Wesleyan
college here, was in Austin Friday.

Manager Skinny Pryor promises
the/fed-blooded theater patrons of
Austin four thrillers for the com-
ing week. Monday, Jack Perrins,
long a favorite of those who like
their west rare and wooly, opens
the program with “Wolf Man,”
which is to play at the Grand Cen-
tral two days. Its title is guarantee
enough of its wildness. Wednesday
is reserved for “Rip Snorter."
Thursday only, Bill Cosey stands
champion for an entire sex in
“Man's Fight,” which is a melo-
drama of Action and not anti-fem-
inist propaganda, as the name
might imply. Friday and Saturday,
Fred Thompson, celebrated as the
greatest athlete in the movies, and
posibly the greatest in the world,
will perform exploits of daring in
“Riding Like the Wind.”
