CULVER: CITY, Calif., July 26— Fewer displays of legs,and more of brains constitute a formula of success for film stars, in the opinion of Sam- uel Goldwyn, pioneer producer, who made this statement last night apropos of the recently reiterated Will Hays policy of “clean motion pictures.” Goldwyn continued: “Photographs of the nude or semi- nude female ‘form divine’ are passe in the movies. They are not only a pos- sible detriment to public morals, but also a mighty poor type of exploita- tion. “The day when you eould substitute legs for brains in the motion pictures has gone forever,” Goldwyn concluded.

HAT you getting up so early for?” murmured Kate Benton, sleepily. “Don’t bother,” return- ed Jim Benton. “Bill Hampton and I are going fishing. You needn’t get up; sleep as long as you like."” “Goin’ fisking!” Kate was wholly awake now, for she, too, liked to fish. “I'Il get up and get you some break- 14 '| tast, coffee anud bacon and things,” she offered. “No, you don't; there's no need, really, Kate: [ meant to get away without your knowing it and surprise you with a string of fish what are fish. We're going to get a snack at a plac and they’ve put up lunch for us, too. Jim drew a window shade thought- fully. “Good-by,” he flung as he shut the door hurrledly. 3 Mrs. Benton’s eyes flew open alertly. Instantly she jumped out of bea and van to the window, watching Jim as he swunz down the dim, deserted street. Then she went to the disor- dered closet where Jim had flung | things around fn his search for the de- sired paraphernalia. She found fish- ing tackle and an outfit that apparent- 1y suited her. “I'll call Belle Hampton as soon as T am sure Bill is out of the way.” braiding her hair firmly and winding it closely about her head. ‘“I'll——" | But the tinkle of the telephone bell stopped her self-talk momentarily and she ran to answer the call. Her “Hello!" was answered by Belle Hamp- “Kate! Kate! They've gone and left us. Let's make a little trip of our own. We'll show them! Going with- out us!” incoherently. “My idea exactly,” responded Kate. “I was just going to call you. Say, I have a scheme, 1 see one of Jim's old | fishing suits here.” Then followed a | plan for comfort if not for style. The two women in neatly tallored | suits met at the appointed place, | Bach carried a matting suit case. and | they looked like two decorous wives | going _trainward. They walked and | talked briskly and soon reached a wooded elevation. They diszppeared into a, heavy thicket, and after some time two figures emerged in large and baggy khaki trousers and very much worn_and ill-fitting khaki Norfolks. The faces of these travelers were a dull nut-brown, almost as dark as In- dians. The cheeks had rich coloring, as though sun and wind had painted them through much exppsure. Eye- brows were heavy and dark, and eyes wore a “Chinese siant. Fishing tackle in plenty swung as fishing tackle has a way of doing. The two figures in worn khaki made their way toward a fishing pool they —during ,building operation. Now is the time to open that Savings _Account with us. Start today. 3% interest.

Not long after the first two figures had started through the jungles Jim Benton and Bill Hampton, who had lingered oyer an extra good breakfast, came swinging along as blithe as boys out on a lark. They took almost the same trail, and made rapid gain on the first two figures, who were evi- dently wary fishermen. “We'll have to look out,” whispered one, “‘or some one will find out where we are going.” Both dodged into a huge bank of fern just as Jim and Bill came plung- ing along. They were discussing a marvelous fishing pool which the old- est inhabitant had revealed to them for a paltry $3 emolument. Jim and Bill reached the secret pool a little after another couple had put out in a small boat and were quietly fishing near a great rock. 3 “Well,” cautioned ~ Bill Hampton, “they're here first, and if they don’t molest us we needn’t bother them. They haven't got the right place any- way. You know the oldest inhabitant sald that the big fish would be caught right under the big log that lies across the stream, It’s farther up.” The first-comers seemed both blind and deaf to interruption and were hauling fish out with great rapidity as Jim_thrust the oars quickly through the lapping water and rounded a bend in the stream which shut from view the successful fishermen. Jim drew the boat up near the old log that lay across the stream. Un- derneath it looked deep and dark, as though a tunnel had been made under the bank for the express purpose of shielding the fish from the attractive bait of the fistermen: The log looked rotten, too. Jim cast and.so did Bill, and both |7 “Won- B STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY.

Fish- ing to sell! Let's try ‘em out a whack. Buy 'em out,” Jim urged, brilliantly. “It's getting toward sundown, any- way, and it's an awful jungle to wade through. Besides, Kate'll be atraid to stay alone after night.’ They rowed around casually, very casually, as though just appearing on the scene, and approaching the other boat, spoke with great guile. ““Any fish here?” Jim-inquired lazily. In reply a finger pointed to the ac- cumulating fish in the boat. “Gee, I'm hungry! ‘Heain't had a bite since noon,” Jim declared, shame- lessly. ““Would you sell a fish or two, or I would take them all if you want to get rid of them?" easily. 2 “Hadn't thought of letting any go," a gruff volce returned,. ‘but mebbe we might spare a couple.” The result was that Jim Benton and Bill Hampton started home in high heart with the biggest and best catch of the season. “Hope we'll meet agati”. Jim said cordlally as the other two fishers turned into the undergrowth. - “I'm sure we shajl. We have a common interest,” the gruff voice re- turned. “My name’s Bill if you want to inquire for me any time.” At home Kate dropped her suit case in the middle of the bathroom floor and began scrubbing her face and hands, but the. treacherous =walnut stain would not come off, and that stuff on the eyebrows did stick like a brother!
