S. Commissioner’s Court yestetrday found for plaintiff C. E. Gordon on one count in his suit against Marshal William T. Mahoney and in favor of the Ma. shal on the second.” On the first count, Gordon charged the Marshal had accepted $57 from him for posting a custodian at the property of the Holland-Alaska Gold Com- pany in the course of an action brought against that company by Gordon, but that the custodian had not been on the job. The jury found for Gordon on that count. The second count demanded $586 from the Marshal for alleged false arrest when Gordon was taken into custody for interfering with process of law during the serving of attachment on the Holland-Al- aska property. The jury held for Marshal Mahoney on the false ar- rest charge.

But she was very particular about the distribution of the six negatives she permitted of her in that cos- tume from “Swing High, Swing Low"—and that was from a movie. The beginner usually will frolic on the beach or pose beside a swim- ming pool as readily as she will pose meeting a celebrity, dedicating a park shrub, or directing traffic !during a safety campaign. Not so Jane Bryan, nor Frances Farmer, nor Marsha Hunt. Jane Bryan made one set of bathing suit pictures, but won't any more (Flash)! She’s relented)! Frances Farmer never would. Marsha Hunt posed once, but it was in her movie costume for “College Holiday.” All or them consider “leg art” undig- nified. (Marlene Dietrich, never labeled that, obviously doesn't.) Roles Dictate Policy Sometimes a girl's type, or the irole she plays, dictates her policy. Olivia de Haviland, who used to pose in swimming suits, won't any more. (Flash! She, too, has re- lented!) Janet Gaynor will pose at the beach, but anything “sexy” is taboo. Janet’s role is sweet little girl.
