THERE are a few actors within
1 the film Induatry who might
have the ability to take Chaney's
place, but none of them would at-
tempt such a feat. They will only
work the harder to build up their
own positions. Jean Hersholt came
under the name classification as
Lon. He is an artist at make-up
and pantomime. But Jean, tho he
might rise to even greater heights
aa -himself, never could be a Lon
Chaney. Emil Jannings, the great
German actor, might be said to be
Chaney's equal in every respect.
Some day he might be even higher

have a special niche in public fa-

ney was, but it is very doubtful if
he could occupy the niche made
vacant by Lon’s death.
The reason for this condition is
simple. The places once held by
these favorites never have been
vacated—they still are filled with
memories. A living actor may pass
from the public view and be al-
most totally forgotten in a very
short time, but the memory of one
who has passed on lingers for a
long time.
Members of the film colony are
expressing considerable gratifica-
tion over the fact that Chaney
had an opportunity to make one
talking picture before he died. At
least, they now have the image
and voice of the man who was be-
loved by all and it will be pre-
served indefinitely. <

TOLLYWOOD, Calif., Sept. 8.-
• Who will step Into Lon Cha-
ney’s unique place on the screen?
With the famous actor’s funeral
rites, over, film fans already are
asking this question. And it’s a
question very easily answered-
Lon will have no successor.
There are a large number of ex-
cellent actors engaged in the mo-
tion picture business and the
stage could furnish many more,
but none of them can ever take
the place of "The Man of a Thou-
sand Faces.” In fact, film produc-
Plain crepes, printed crepes, embroidered
crepes, travel crepes, chiffons. The styles are
so varied that it would be next to impossible
to describe them. You can rest assured
though, that they are the smartest New York

$12.75.
THREE HELD IN RAID
ON BIG LIQUOR PLANT
Trio Gives Fort Worth as Homes
After Arrest.
Special to Tho Press
- CLEBURNE, Sept. 9. — Three
men are held on liquor charges
after a raid late Saturday on a
still near Barnesville, in the east-
ern part of the county. Constable
H. Hunt of Grandview and R
Head of Grandview, made the
raid. :
The trio were charged in
Judge Head’s court at Grandview
with possession, of liquor and
equipment for manufacture. They
gave their names as W. M. Wil-
son, R. C. Cochran and J. C.
Brown, all of Fort Worth.
The three men are In the John-

equipment, consisting of quan-
titles of aborts, sugar, rye, a gas-
oline engine, mash vats, several
large tanks, and several gallons
of liquor, is being held,
lights and kleigs.
Valentino’s popularity was so
tremendous that film producers
sought to capitalize upon it after
his death. Executives of the Para-
mount studio announced publicly
they had discovered his successor
in Ricardo Cortez, at that time a
promising young actor. But the
public’s reaction was such that
Cortez never has enjoyed any real
aucceas since. Even Valentino’s
brother failed as a successor to
the popular Idol.
As a result of that experience,
producers came to the realization
they would have to build up "end
tirely new personalities to take,
the places of those who had passed
on. The public stands willing to
accept these new personalities but
they never will take a substitute.

GALVESTON, Sept, 8.—The
stage was being aet here today
for Ross Sterling's debut In
party politics.
The Democrats’ choice for gov-
ernor will submit his platform
when the state Democratic con-
vontlon gets under way in the
city auditorium Tuesday. It will
be his first trip into party poli-
tics.
The first of about 1,500 dele-
gates .began arriving Saturday,
However, due to the absence of
issues, pre-convention excitement
is at * low ebb.
Practically all of the big
“shots” of the party are on hand
today, either to participate In or
watch the outcome of the execu-
tive committee meeting.
Editor to Get Post.
At this meeting, a temporary
char man will be selected and
the ' temporary roll of delegates
made-up
Senator Walter C. Woodward
of Coleman, wheelhorse of the
Sterling run-off campaign, seems
certain of selection as temporary
chairman while W. O. Huggins,
Houston Chronicle editor, is re-
garded as the most likely choice
for the executive committee
chairmanship.
Senator Woodward is sched-
•uled to deliver the keynote ad-
dress when the convention opens
Tuesday, his address preceding
the submission of Sterling's plat-
form.
Murphy- Townsend of Dallas,
North Texas campaign manager
for Sterling, is expected to be
named permanent chairman of
the convention.
Small May Be Honored.
Clint Small of Wellington, who
ran third in the governor’s race,
will have some support for ap-
pointment .as chairman of the
platform committee. He gave
Sterling his support in the run-
off campaign.
Harmony prevails in the ranks
of the delegates and the only
chance for fireworks lies In the
handling of the road bond ques-
tion in Sterling's platform. If
he attempts to draw a strong
indorsement from • the conven-
tion on his idea for a $350,000,-
000 road bond issue, he is cer-
tain to meet strenuous opposition.
Tarrant County to
Be Represented
Tarrant County will have small
representation at the Democratic
State Convention opening Tues-
day at Galveston, unless there is a
last-minute rush for reservations
on the proposed special train.
George C. Kemble, chairman of
the transportation committee for
the county delegation, said Mon-
day noon that It was uncertain
whether the special train would
be run or whether the delegates
would go In extra coachea added
to the 10 p. m. Santa Fe train.
Only 20 had signed at noon
Monday for the special train, on
which the round-trip fare is $9.10.
This number was augmented by
26 delegatee from adjoining
counties.
Unless the reservation total Is
about 100, the special train will
be cancelled, Kemble said. The
ticketa on the special also will be
good on the regular train, if the
former is not run. They can be
used on the return trip until Sept.
16. Tarrant County is entitled to
a delegation of 200 at the conven-
tion. but it appeared as the the
actual representation will be less
than 60. Kemble said.
Besides the 20 who have made
reservations, about a dozen are
known to have driven to Galves-
ton Saturday ETternoon or Sunday
by auto.
