He revealed that he had mailed a letter to Gov. Rolph saying that he was not satisfied with condi- tions on the commission and did not desire to continue. Edgren has declared himself against the recognition of wrest- ling as a competitive sport, claim- ing that the houts were exhibi- tions and not contests. Edgren recently made an effort to “de-hippodromize” the game as it is conducted in the West. He vigorously attacked the shamming by prominent wrestlers, and point- ed out that unexperienced men with little knowledge of the game have been rushed into main events by promoters, and have “defeated” veterans of the game. Edgren was appointed a year ago for a three-year term by then Gov. C: €. Young when the commission of three, which supervises legal- | ized boxing and wrestling in Cali- fornia was reorganized. “I have not consulted the Gov- ernor about retiring,” Edgren said. “I merely resigned because I did not care to be connected wiht the commission.” O SELECTED SHORT SUBJECTS “Public Defender” “50 Fathoms Deep” “Traveling Husbands” “Front Page” | 9 romance of a Glamorous Gloria!

For the making of exterior scenes an expedition from the Universal studios spent six months in the | jungles of Sumatra and the Malay {Peninsula. The result of this trip |brings to the screen a drama told in the world's most exotic setting, and the climax of the picture {shows an inspiring volcanic erup- tion. Some Members of Cast The cast is headed by Rose Ho- bart and Charles Bickford, and al- pita Tovar, Noble Johnson and | hundreds of native Malays. The picture is in no sense a travelogue, but a dramatic story which is filled with suspense and exciting action. The film tells the story of an American doctor who has literally buried himself in this wild region where he, the only white man in the entire country- side, is the 'personal physician of an Oriental Rajah who rules his people from a ruined castle. Divorced Wife Comes Into this desolate spot comes the divorced wife of the doctor, her re- {kindled love causing her to follow him half way around the world. It |is when her late husband spurns her and the rajah casts covetous eves on the beautiful white woman that the drama reaches its climax, while the thunderous eruption of the nearby volcano adds terror to the scene. {Ralph Budd Becomes Heads of Burlington CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—Ralph Budd, former President of ‘the Great Northern Railroad, has assumed the Presidency of the Burlington Line.

The cast of “The Miracle Wo- man” proves humble beginnings are no bar to histrionic success.

It all comes about because of a former admirer of shallow af- |fections, who gets himself engaged to the girl's young sister. Written For Star The story was written especially for Miss Swanson by De Sylva, Brown and Henderson, picture pro- |ducers and composers. The two | song numbers written by them es- |pecially for Miss Swanson—“Come |To Me” and “If You Haven't Got | Love"—permit her to demonstrate once again that she has an engag- ing voice.

The story centers around Wynn's comic antics, but a clever little romance, played by Ginger Rogers and Stanley Smith, looms up in the background with enjoyable effect. Not A Serious Affair It's not a serious romance, just a boy-and-girl affair which adds point and flavor to the Wynn fooling. Wynn, as an unwilling leader of a gang of good-natured and naive badmen, is put into many embarrassing situations as he is forced by his cohorts to get Ginger a stage engagement by hook or crook. Kidnaps Wrong Girl He resorts t0 kidnapping the star of the show to bring this about, and gets himself into infinite dif- ficulties by kidnapping the wwong girl. As a result of his activities, Ginger's romance goes on the rocks, and Wynn has to do a right- about-face to patch up the love affair. The supporting cast includes the bragging Lou Holtz and a group of seasoned stage players. Rex Parrott will play selections on the organ.

But, in that case, what of ‘“Free to Live,” which wes to have been Connie’s next?| Head-man Dave Selznick will commit himself only to this extent: “The story is being written with Dolores Del Rio in mind, but it might be either for Constance Bennett or Ann Harding.” 80 there you are.
