FILM LEADERS PAY TRIBUTE TO CHANEY Notables of Movie World and Laymen by Hundreds to At- tend Funeral Rites. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, August 28.—The no- tables of the movie world and hundreds of admiring laymen prepared tc ac- company the body of Lon Chaney on its last journey. From the little chapel of a funeral parior the distinguished character act- or's body will be taken after impres- sive but simple services to be buried be- side his father in Forest Lawn Ceme- tery, Glendale, this afternoon. Hundreds of citizens, singly or by twos and threes, filed past the silver bronze casket yesterday to pay final re- spects to the man whose private life | ‘was as simple, unostentatious and quiet @s the screen characters which brought him fame were weird, grotesque and memorable. Honorary Pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers ‘represented a ross section of who's who in filmland, including Louis B. Mayer, Schenck, Irving G. Thalberg, Hunt Stromberg, Paul Bern, Tod Browning, Chaney's director; Harry Carey, Lionel Barrymore, Ramon Novarro, William Haines, Lawrence Tibbett, Lew Cody, Cliff Edwards, Harry Rapf, Fred Niblo, Benny Rubin, Wallace Beery, George Hill and Edgar Selwyn. The entire motion picture industry arranged to suspend work at 3 o'clock, when the funeral cortege was due at the cemetery, to honor his memory for two minutes. All business activity in every Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer office throughout the world was ordered stopped for two minutes. At the local M-G-M Studios, where Chaney was shortly to have begun his eecond talking picture, the United States Marine Corps Reserve, of which the actor was an honorary member, has arranged to lower s Hag and fire 8 salute as “Taps” as are sounded in his honor, Deaf Mutes Pay Tribute. Numerous deaf mutes were among those who came to the chapel, Chaney having been an especial hero to them, not only because one or two of his most memorable screen characters were thus afflicted, but because both of his parents ‘were deaf and dumb. A touching sight at the chapel was the grief of a battered veteran of the ‘World War, upon whose breast gleamed row upon row of decorations. Through- out the day this veteran, Sergt. Frank McClouskey, kept vigil beside the cas- ket, near which was his own floral of- fering McClouskey met Chaney seven years @ago. Chaney sent McClouskey to a hospital for an operation which par- tially cured his paralysis. Nicholas | Dogs Are Rescued From Tile After 5 Days Underground By the Associated Press. BERLIN, Ill, August 28.—Bob, Rozie and Prince, three of Wil- liam Allen’s fox terriers, were rescued Monday night from an underground drain tile in which they had been imprisoned for five days. The dogs, with two others, ran into the tile while chasing a rab- bit and were wedged in. The two smaller dogs, Spaort and Queenie, got out after 24 hours, but the others could not move. Allen started digging holes, five feet deep, down 70 the tile. Yes- terday, on the tenth hole and a half mile from where the dogs entered the tile, he found them and pulled them out. They were weak from hunger and thirst, but all recovered. OUTLOOK FOR CONCERTS EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS Demand for Artists for Coming Sea- “son 20 Per Cent Greater Than Anticipated.
