SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1927 NEW CROP OF BABY STARS. GROWING UP Unknowns of Last Spring Now Among Candidates For Movie Honots Hollywood, » Dec. 24.—(AP) —About the time people are begin- ning to forget their 1928 New Year's resolutions, in other words not later than the middle of next February, thirteen so-called “Baby Stars” \ the movies will be introduced to the public at the annual Wampas ball. Selection of the thirteen starlets by members of the Wampas, an or- ganization of motion ure pul licity men, has no: official signifi- eance beyond registering the en- thusiasm of some press agents for a baker’s dogen of the newer film faces. Unofficially and actually, however, .the designation “Baby Star” is generally the stamp of ap- “proval of some production bat tion powerful enough to hel recipient very materially in her ‘Tha tomar playeh torets tony e young player chosen a Star is in practically all cases as- sured of at least a few real o portunities to make good during the coming year, Stars of Past Years ‘ Baby Stars of past years included such players as Colleen Moore, Claire Windsor, Laura LaPlante, Clara Bow, Olive Borden, Mary As- tor, Janet Gaynor, Dolores Del Rio and Dolores Costello. Just now there is much argument and specula- tion as to the thirteen who will be named the Baby Stars of 1928. Among those who conceded to have the best chances df election are seyeral who were aBsolutely un- known to picture goers a year ago. There is, for instance, Lupe Ve- lez, the vivacious Mexican dancer “discovered” by ach and put in comedies about eight months ago, and later discovered again by Doug- las Fairbanks. Her success opposite Fairbanks in “The Gaucho’ and her subsequent selection by DeMille to play opposite Rod LaRocque have started her upward at a pace cal- culated to make her selection by the Wampas a matter of course. An- other is Nena Quartaro, the New York girl whom James Cruze picked out of the extra ranks and is groom- ing for stardom. And still another is. Sue Carroll, who arrived in Feb- ruary and played. her first lead op- posite Douglas MacLean about six months ago. Other Candidates Other girls who are being put forward as candidates for the thir- teen places include several already pretty well known by the earnest film fan. Among them are Ruth Taylor, chosen to play the lead in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”; Myr- na Loy, in training for stardom at Warner Brothers; Barbara Worth and Dorothy Gulliver. Universal’s eect ingenues; Jeanette Loff, londe discovery of C. B. DeMille; Sennett; Molly O’Day, Richard Barthlemess’ leading woman in “The Patent-Leather Kid,” and Alice White, Greek flapper in “The Private Life of Helen of Troy.” Missourian Devotes ‘ Life to Waterways St. Louis, Dec. 24.—(AP)—For 35 es E.

Mr. Ford returned to the plant and plans were established for making “unbreakable” or “non-shatterable” glass standard in all of the front windshields, It has been indicated, too. at the home plants for those in authority that j 8 soon as it was possible to do so, the Ford glass plants in Glassmere, Pa., would * af into production of a quan- tity this kind of Liens which would make it possible for not only the front window but all the win- dows of the closed cars to be of this type.

Chrysler Beats Time of Twentieth Century From Buffalo to Albany, 18 min- utes faster than the time of the New York Central’s crack train, the Twentieth Century, is the latest feat to be credited to a Chrysler car equipped with the new Chrysler “Red-Head” high compression en- gine.

He clipped 59. seconds—al- most a full minute—from the form- er record held by a six-cylinder auto- mobile. Records previously had been made by one cight and another six cylinder car. The Whippet was awarded the silver trophy offered'for the Mount Baldy speed record by the Pomona Progress-Bulletin. The dash was of- ficially timed by R. O. Day, auto- mobile editor and J. K. Peirsol, ad- vertising manager of the Progrets- Bulletin; L. A. MacKelvey, garage owner of Arcadia, who rode with | pes pepe as a disinterested observer and Los Angeles newspapermen. Rules governing the run provided that it must be made in high gear. They permit the removal of top and fenders for safety's sake. Other- wise the car must be a strictly stock model such as is sold to the general public. Examination of the Whippet showed that it conformed to the rules, it is stated. “The Mount Baldy run is a real test of the speed, stamina and power of any automobile that makes it in high gear at good speed,” declared L, V. Starr, vice president and gen- eral manager of J. W. Leavitt & Company, Whippet and Willys- Knight distributor. “The course has but few straight stretches which are very short and speed must be kept up on the curves which tests a car’s road stability and high gear climb- ing ability to the limit. It is a con- tinuous climb, very steep in places and some of the heaviest grades are encountered on sharp curves.” ee Equipped With ‘Unbreakable’ Glass One of the best features which any automobile com- pany could offer the buying public, and which gives the Ford dealers a tremendous advantage over cars of many other makes, came in the form sales inducing Our business relations have been most pleasant and we take advantage of the present season to send you best’ wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Copelin of the Copelin Motor company, local Ford dealers. Mr. Ford was riding in the new job, doing 60 miles per hour or bet- ter on a boulévard, e great trend of the car manufacturer has been to give the public higher speed.

The time is the more remarkable in view of the fact that the first ten miles was inside the limits of Buf- falo and the last four miles over Al- bany streets, while no fewer than 14 cities and towns were passed through on the run. A drizzling rain during three hours of the night also tended to make fast running difficult. “The time was possible only be- cause of the mechanical perfection of the Chrysler,” said Mr. Eckert af- ter the run. “It could never have been done but for the roadster’s ca- pacity to operate at sustained high speed, combined with its unusual ac- celeration and braking features, We extend to you Most Cordial Greetings and wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year The: Spirit of the Holiday Season prompts us to ex- press appreciation of our pleasant business relations during the year and.to most cordially wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Prosperous New Year.
