SR - HOLLYWOOD, Calif, January 7.— The trend away from outdoor motion pictures when talkies came along two years ago not only squeezed out Art Acord, who was buried yesterday a suieide in Chihuahua City, Mexico, but | nearly every other old-time Western star as well. | By one means or another, most of | 7 them have been able to survive the body blow that talking pictures dealt. Some became trick riders and ropers in circuses. One or two continued act- ing, but without sombreros. Acord was less fortunate than some of his fellow cowboy stars—Ken Maynard, Hoot Gibson, Harry Carey, Tom Mix, Buck Jones and others. Reported to have been without funds, Acord left here for Mexico hoping to recoup his fortune. Westerns returned when Hollywood discovered the micro- phone could hear as well in the open as it did on a sound stage. In the last year the production of Westerns has boomed. Maynard and Gibson were the first'of the old guard to capitalize on_the return of their vogue. Warner Baxter, Richard Arlen, George O'Brien, Gary Cooper, John Mack Brown, Bill Boyd and even William Haines are appearing in Westerns. They took the places once occupied by Tom Mix, Jack Hoxie and others, who went to the big tops; Willlam 8.

He always had faith that it would yield a profit, but he died in London without knowing the dream being realized. Estate Closed Year Ago. Mrs. Armcur received her share of the purchase price for 400 shares of stock in the Universal company, which was a part of her husband'’s estate and which his creditors at one time had refused to accept as a valuable asset. The stock was given to her by Armour as security for a loan of $1,000,000 she made him in 1926. Armour was the founder of the Universal concern and it was announced that the company will be headed by H. J. Halle of New York, who was made its president by Armour in 1021, A year ago the Armour estate was | closed in Probate Court, showing an insolvency of $1,805,000, which was & sad contrast to the $150,000,000 Armour was reputed to have been worth in moneyed war times. Romance Began in 1909. The beginning of the romance was back in 1909 in a dinky chemical lab- oratory in a small oil field in Penn- sylvania, where Jesse A. Dubbs had been experimenting with a means of producing gasoline from crude oil by cracking process. He went to Cali- fornia, and a few oil company heads into whose offices he talked his way paid him scant attention. One even went so far as to say he thought he was “cracked” on the subject. “Why,” he lled said, “look what he’ his son_—Carbon Petroleum Dubbs. In 1914, however, Dubbs got a hear- ing from Armour and his Chicago asso- ciate, R. J.
