Would the | spectacle of Teddy Roosevelt rid- ing up San Juan Hill in a Pack- ard cause the pulse to beat any faster? The answer to thosé questions is very probably in the negative,] | therefore, posterity is going to be | |{in a bad way for heroes. A man cannot shine in battle if he is go- | |ing to be cooped up in an iron |box. But maybe progress will ad- vance to a point where wars can be fought without even men. Already we have robots that can | |smoke, tell the time, use a tele- /phone and a thousand and one |things, so why not abolish the |human soldier? The idea has ad- vantages. Robots leave no widows, |nor would they miss a leg or an arm and all their hurts could he |fixed with a monkey wrench. Ver- {lly it is a great idea. ' HOLLYWOOD NENS By ROBBIN COONS | HOLLYWOOD, July 20—Before Eleaving recently on his first real vacation trip in 18 years, Cecil B. DeMille was asked if he would «finds” from Europe, where he will spend the next six months. His reply was, “Well, I don't !know—but if I do, you may bhe |'sure they won't be heautiful wom- jen.” Strange, that answer, considering that DeMille’s heroines without ex- ception have a reputation for great beauty. But he elaborated: “Really bzautiful women seldom | are screen personalities. They are too careful not to let emotion dis- turb their pretty features, or any feeling distort the perfect beauty | of their faces. “Acting ability, personality, warmth aré much more important to screen success. ob Yeur Wiheel Hunting at Home And that's something for the beauty prize-winners to think about.

Cecilia Parker, another young ex- tra, has a bright spot in “Over the Hill,” and Patricia Farr, after a couple of bits, also has won a| contract. Irene Thompson reported with other extras to the Mack Sennett lot and immediately was selected for a leading role and given a contract. It's girls like that who make extra work a lure. -—ee PRINCE GEORGE OUT WITH CAPACITY LIST With every stateroom and berth occupied, the Canadian National Lines steamer Prince George, Capt. N. MacLean and Purser Bert Robe- Son, arrived in port from Skagway at midnight Saturday and sailed for Vancouver at 1 am. Sunday. The steamer was sold out from Skagway with tourists returning from interior trips. It was the first trip this season in which all its accommodations were taken and no local passengers could be han- dled. Lindberghs Can Now Makqg Flight Over Japan WASHINGTON, D.
