HERSHOLT 10 PLAY DR. DAFOE IN FILM Actor to Study Mannerisms of Quintuplets’ Doctor in Baby Film. By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, November 29. ~Dr. Allan R. Dafoe, the celebrated Canadian physician, will be subjected to extensive diagnosis before the film- ing of a motion picture starring the Dionne quintuplets in which he him- self will not appear. The diagnostician will be Jean Her- sholt, veteran actor. He will portray the doctor in the photoplay after the unique experience of studying in the fiesh the character he is to represent. “Ordinarily,” Hersholt said, “I would take a script and study the action, the dialogue, everything it tells of the| character. Then, mentally, I visualize his appearance, his temperament, the | very essence of him.” | An experienced artist, Hersholt then | makes a series of sketches of the char- | ncter. “But, in this instance,” he said, “Dr. Dafoe will be there for me to see, talk | to. I can observe his mannerisms and acquire from the close-up, so to speak, all the qualities that I usually have to imagine.” Hersholt said he believed he re- sembled Dr. Dafoe and would attempt to be more typical of the doctor than the doctor himself. He is scheduled to leave tonight | with & company of 30 people from Twentieth Century-Fox studio for Callender, Ontario, the home of the quintuplets.

THE mother of a popular 9-year-oid daughter on upper Connecticut avenue was constantly bothered with answering knocks at her door and in- forming the daughter’s friends whether she was “in” or “out.” Recently while sitting in a physi~ cian’s office a card on the door to the inner office offered the mother a solu- tion to her problem. A small card now appears under the name card on the front door of the family’s apartment, which the young daughter is required to reverse upon entering and leaving. One side reads, “Peggy Is In"; the other, “Peggy Is SPEED AND SPEED! FRANK HAWKS, famous pilot, has driven an airplane in races about as fast as any one on earth. On his recent Nation-wide tour of the country alone for the Will Rogers Me- morial fund he flew a Navy fighting plane faster than 175 miles an hour. En route from the Naval Air Sta- tion to Radio Station WJSV, in an automobile, Hawks asked the driver of a new type 12-cylinder car: “How fast will this run?" “Cruising speed about 95 miles art hour. It will go faster,” was the answer. “That's too fast for me” replied Hawks, “I never drive an automobile faster than 50 miles an hour. In the air there’s plenty of room for speed, but on the ground there are too many obstacles.” * k% ¥ BEGINNING AND END. It is only a step at District Su- preme Court from marriage to di- vorce. By ironical coincidence desks representing the beginning and the end of matrimony are side by side. At one, scores of couplzs secure marriage licenses every day. At the other, divorce suits are entered and decrees deposited. * ok ok % NOTABLE “FIRST.” AT 9:15 the other morning a Wash- ington street car completed the first non-stop flight down Connecticut avenue known to history.
