He spent some time with her Wednesday, how- ever, although his visit to the hospital following her suicide attempt was very ef. Lina Basquette says that by the time she got ready to sue her late husband’s estate for part of the million dollars representing his share in the Warner Brothers’ concern more than a year had since his death, and there is a w in effect that a widow cannot bring suit against her husband's estate after a year has elapsed. That is how she mdhmnu Lita were left with $100,000 each. There is a move on foot to revive the *sheik”—in talkie form, of course. This 1s really needless to add, since all pic- tures made nowadays, except Charlie Chaplin’s, are talkies. And Chaplin’s, ‘when released, will determine the fate of the silent for all time. oland West, who made talkie his- tory with “Alibi,” is considering the * story which'put Rudolph Valentino into & unique niche in cinematics as a ve- hicle for Chester Morris. ‘This player has steadily built up a tremendous following since his hit as| the erook in “Alibi.” And now that Dolores Del Rio is honeymooning _at Pebble Beach, Col- leen Moore, witl. whom Del Rio was to have sailed for Europe, is looking about for a new companion.

Per- fect camera features, exquisite charm and sympathy, and the most beautifully modulated voice in the colony carry her to the top of the list. . Also she doesn’t sing, and doesn't try to, proving that she's wise as well as beautiful. And when a local lad, arrested and charged with biting a policeman, falling down and being under the influence of liquor, proved that he was innocent of the ‘charge, he gave Hollywood the big- gest laugh of the week, gagmen and funsters notwithstanding. 3 ‘The slick one claimed that he couldn’t have bitten the policeman becausc his false teeth were home that night; that he fell down because he was minus two toes on one foot and sometimes got funny that way, and that he merely was a sufferer from halitosis and not alco- holism. He got away with it! (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Allignce.) Modern Farmer's Helper. During the year 1929 the total num- ber of electrified farms in the United States increased from 460,000 to 558,000, or by 21.5 per cent. This is the largest annual increase so far recorded. Since that time the total number has been increasing at a rate which doubles every three and one-half years. California leads in the number of farms supplied with service by the total of 72,600 at the end of 1929, represent- in;, an electrification of 53 per cent. New York comes next with 53,060, Ohio third with 38,045, Washington fourth with 37813, followed by Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan in the order nemed. . Pretentiousness: slang. .
