MIRIAM HOPKNS ROMANCE FADING Blond Film Beauty Finds Marriage Doesn’t Work in Hollywood. « 3 BY MOLLIE MERRICK. #$vecifl Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., ‘August 3.— FHollywood's mind is at rest regarding that little Miriam Hopkins-Austin Parker marriage. The most dynami- cally attractive blonde in the colony— and the only real blonde of the Ceindre type I can call to mind—says matri- mony with Austin Parker doesn’t work. ! The colony has suspected that for Sorie time, every since Miriam Hopkins exziyad here. Occasionally the two ap- ed together at luncheon, very riendly and gay, for this lady has poise, and brains, and sparke, and manner be- omli most of the women of her pro- ession. Nol:'lne of that sparkle has been dimmed by her matrimonial difficulties. One} would say that it was impossible for any human creature to be more en- chantingly gay than is this actress. The gloom seems to come from the Parker side of the household. Hard on Matrimony. It's not much of a business for ce- menting the bonds of matrimony at that. Claudette Colbert and her hus- band, Norman Foster, just can’t man- 2ge to keep at the same end of this wide country no matter how hard they ay try. When Colbert is making pic- mns on the East Coast, Norman is as- signed to West Coast Paramount studio. *Then a quick shift is made and hus- band is sent on to the Long'Island studio. Felicity reigns. But not for long. Claudette Golbert is sent out to ‘Hollywood, pronto. Nancy Carroll worked on the East Coast for some time back. During her marital troubles with Kirkland she was a permanent figure at the Long Island studio and the gay and charming sup- Eer places of New York were brightened y this titian-hatred beauty frequently. Then she met Bclton Mallory, fell in Jove with him and got a Nogales-divorce. They married at once and the studio, true as steel to its previous history, im< mediately brought Nancy Carroll to the Hollywocd studio. It's not any malicious move on the Eut of men who are good natured and elieve that all artists work better when under happy circumstances. It's just ‘the old movie devil at work. ’ Durante’s Star Climbs. Jimmy “Schnczzle” Durante, the fa- mous “so-I-ups-to-him” comedian, is at present the rage of Hollywood. His wit and comic antics are such that he has been put in the Marx Brothers' class for cleverness and in Hollywocd this is ihe last word. + Incidentally, Durante will begin work ext week in Willlam Haines’ new pic- ture, “The New Wallingford,” and, ac- ‘cording to rumor, he will have a part in Lawrence Tibbett's new picture, which thas been called “The Cuban,” or rather, ithis is the working title, and may be | per! ichanged many times before the picture s released. «, So far Tibbett has made three pic- fures for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and in Awo of them has had the support of well &known comedians. The “Rogue Song" *had Laurel and Hardy in it; and “The Prodigal” had Cliff Edwards and Roland Young as tramp comedians. Now with Jimmy Durante nosing his /way into Tibbett’s newest film, we're iprepared to laugh in advance. (Copyright, 1931, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) SLAYER OF BIGAMOUS WIFE.

A O NEW FIGHTING SPIRIT SPEEDS REHABILITATION OF GERMANY Morale Restored, Pe.ople Seem Inclined to Put Nation Back on Feet by Their Own Efiorts.f BY JULIAN HARRIS, By Radio to The Star. BERLIN, August 3 (N.AN.A)—Al- ‘most ‘overnight the spirit in Berlin has changed from apathy and helplessness to determination and self-help. Two weeks ago—indeed, one week ago—the defeatist atmosphere was heavy with hopelessness and filled with the fear of a new chaos; inflation, riots or bankruptey, or all three. And while the people of Germany waited, not knowing what might happen, they showed a sort of courage which may be termed the courage of desperation. Within the past few days there has been undoubtedly a new psychology among the Germans, a new fighting spirit has come to life. Their passive courage seems to have changed into dynemic determination to -s:t Ger- many’s house in order and meet un- flinchingly the interpal results of the drastic program which 'w_mood of Germl;rny ‘will enable the government to enforce. And if, as it seems, Chancellor Bnlen.lnf and his aides have caught the spirit that is abroad in Germany, they will find eager followers. There are two critical periods ahead this week. The first is the opening of the banks and the return to normal handling of ghecks and eredits. This took place ay, and it is unlikely that any unusual withdrawal of currency will occur. Referendum August 9. The second eritical period is the ref- erendum on August 9, when there will be a vote on the question of new elec- tions for the Prussian Lan . _This referendum was forced by the Nazis and Hugenberg groups, but when the Communist party joined in the move Hitler's party became suddenly luke- warm and its newspapers have been practically silent on the subject. This situation is baffing to most of the experienced observers here. It is evident that Chancellor Bruening has no fear as to the result of either the opening of the banks or the vote on the referendum, for he and Herr Curtius are planning to leave Wednesday for a visit to Signor Mussolini. Whether American correspondents have emphasized and attempted to an- alyze Germany's change of front, I am not aware. It was not among the high officials who sit in tall chairs and de- cide the fate of nations, but among business men, German newspaper men, professors and minor officials that I first encountered this new spirit, and it was most evident in the ranks of the average persons in whose homes I visited. It is in my opinion no exag- geration to ‘assert the . real German crisis has passed—the crisis of apathy caused by the fear of disturbances at home and the sense of helplessness in foreign affairs. ‘There will be, of course, other critical jods partly as the result of the new fighting spirit which will lead to a de- termined effort to put Germany on its own. There be an increase in un- employment, there will be business failures, there will be bank failures, just ‘as’ such things happened in the period of deflation in the United States, but it is safe to predict there will be no revolution, no chaos, and Hitler's party, which is rapidly losing the support of those industrialists who provided him with funds, will be forced to find its :{“uncmbleaul, it not actiye cordi- y. And now it has developed that the German government will ‘for the mo- ment abandon any effort to make addly tional loans and that it takes the view that Germany must sce what she can do for herself. This means the govern- ment will lead in Germany's fight to set her nfi&‘fil‘wmmm and “w‘l' take the re- Spo establisht or the self-elp program.

By the Associated Press. BARCELONA, Spain, August 3.— The Province of Catalonia was believed to have cast an overwhelming ballot for sutonomous statehood within the re- public of Spain. Unofficial estimates of the results of yesterday's plebiscite in the province showed that about 400,000 of the 580,- 000 voters had declared in favor of & political statute sponsored by the party of Provisional President Francisco Ma- cia. Ninety per cent of the voters were estimated to_have gone to the polls. Col. Macia addressed fhousands of merrymakers, waving banners and sing- ing songs to Catalonia, after unofficial results of the plebiscite became known. “Now Catalonia is free, without any doubts,” he sald. “The other ¢ will see that Catalonia is on their side in the battle for liberty. I will aid them they wish.” The Basque and Galician y. ‘The statute will be submitted to the National Assembly at Madrid for rati- fication before becoming law. It is be- lieved it may encounter strong opposi- tion there because of hostility toward Catalonian Deputies, in view of their opposition to President Alcala Zamora. Catalonia’s status has been in doubt ever since the monarchy was overs thrown, the issue resting between those who sought absolute independence and those who wished to remain within the republic as a sovereign state.

For Germany is now in the mood to ' undergo additional sacrifices in order | that she may follow the path of rebirth | and self-ccnfidence. ‘When this appar- ent change in outlook was mentioned to | an American, who is as well known here as at home, he said: | “It seems almost miraculous. It is| my opinion that the change extends through all ranks and includes the high- | est officials. As matters stand today, I| think that you cannot put it too | strongly. Germany's revived courage’ and the spirit of seif help are beginning to dominate German psychology.” At the moment of the Hoover plan proposal more_than five weeks ago the German morale was at its lowest ebb. The people were ruled by a defeatist spirit and had lost confidence both in e government and themselves. Then, when the Hoover proposal was made, the public pendulum of national feeling swung too far the other way. Hope turned into elation, and Germany pre- pared to lean on the United States and Great Britain, i ‘The original Hoover plan met resist- ance at the point of France's chauvin- istic_bayonet. The Paris parley and the London conference failed to pro- vide what Germany thought was sured. From almost that moment Ger many’s mood began to change. For my part, I believe the new psychology began in irritation at the French atti- tude. Herr Bruening and Herr Custius have been annoyed, also, but they had two reasons for not feeling e, Will Abandon Quest for Loans. ‘The first was that Prance had not shown herself strong enough to force the holding of only one conference when the United States and Great Britain insisted that all parleys should be transferréd to London. The second ‘was that, as a result of the Paris meet- ing, France and Germany may have reached the beginning of an agreement. ‘They are now in frank accord as to which policies they are in complete disagreement on.
