Broome, vice president of the Guaranty Trust Co., testified before a Federal Teferce in bankruptcy yesterday that it his mind to authorize & $5,000,000 loan to the now defunct Insull Utility Investments, Inc, late in 1931. Broome said he did not hesitate be- ceuse the company seeking the loan was ‘a reputable one bearing Samuel Insull’s | - name” and the collateral consisted of “broadly marketable and good stocks.” At previous hearings the value of the collateral was estimated at $7,000,000.

Potter, another vice presi- dent of the Guaranty Trust Co. | described a meeting in the offices of Owen D. Young “some time in January,” purpose of which, he said, was to “‘obtainsthe consent of New York banks to the operating companies making loans to provide cepital for another Insull company and to take up brokers loans in the name of Utilities Securities which were threatened with being sold‘ out.” The loans amounted to about $2,500,- 000, Broome said. He added that there ‘was “a large apparent equity in them,” but that it was believed the market could not absorb the collateral if it was sold out. “A Farewell Gary Cooper. 4 Arms” is the beginning and not by any means the end of this. His performance has been so favorably commented upon, that roles in various new produc- tions have been showered on him. Now suddenly announeement is made that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has got hold of him. This news is good news. M-G-M has a habit of making the most of its players. While Paramount finally discovered Cooper’s talents and wrung them out of him in the Hemingway saga, it is common knowledge that previous to this, he had been stiff as a stick, and his acting as wooden and stony as the old man of the mountain. He will play opposite Joan Craw- ford in “Todav We Live.” This is doublv interesting, not only for the Crawford fans—who should be de- lighted that Miss Crawford will not attempt another Sadie Thomps:n— but because the theme of this has been written by that prominent writing _man, William Faulkner, whose “Sanctuary” has been pleas- antly (and unpleasantly) commented upon, and his “Light in August” ditts Mr. Cooper seems to bz getting the best American authors behind | him.

INDIANAPOLIS, January fl#udge‘ Robert C. Baltzell late yesterday dis-| missed a Federal grand jury indictment | | charging Jesse H. Mellett, who recently resigned as mayor of Anderson, Ind., | with conspiracy to violate the national prohibition laws. Dismissal was granted on motion of District Attorney George R. Jeffrey. Mellett was indicted several months ago along with a number of police of- ficials of Anderson, but because of a serious illness never was served with a warrant. He still is confined in the | Methodist Hospital here.

This is the more surprising when you think of the inroads that have been attempted in this field— the George Brents and the whatnots who have been launched, thick with stiff whitc collars, rough and Tug- ged profiles, shoulders a mile wide and legs two yards long, into their midst. Their presence hat been most welcome. But—it is true that, while the dent they have made is considerable, it has neither squashed out the originals nor carried them higher than mild heights. Gable will be co-starred with Helen Hayes in “The White Sister.” And 50 he goes pleasantly along, splendid in “Red Dust,” and prcbably for- getful of the dreadful performance he supplied in “Strange Interlude.” As for Gary Cooper his horizon is bright with possibilities. Now that directors hav: assurec him that they are capable of melting some of that sternness out of his face, that he can do more than stand around, and twist his fingers and look as though a north wind was always near at hand, it would scem as Drastic Reductions ' on Our Entire Stock READY FOR | REHEARSALS NEW YORK, January 6 (#)—Tzllu- lah Bankhead, who recently arrived from Hollywood to return to the stage, \h'l begm rehearsals in a new p.ay cel'ed “Forsaking All Others” on Mon- day.
