By JEAN ALLEN, International Illustrated NevJ3 Feature Writer HOLLYWOOD One of the peren nial mysteries of this turbulent cel luloid world is the manner in which 'unknowns' skyrocket to fame and some established stars tumble to oblivion almost overnight. The 1936 season has in several instances demonstrated the fact that none of the current celebrities can afford to take chances with their respective careers. And recent months have proved that the humble extra, although confronted with al most insurmountable odd3, still makes the grade occasionally. One of the worst Jinxes which the stars fear is having a run of two or three bad pictures which may bring a sudden end to their popularity. Ann Harding has been unfortunate in her choice of vehicles and Ruth Chatterton, once hailed as "the first lady of the screen," has been in active for an extended period because she was miscast in several pictures. Movie Success Uncertain Maurice Chevalier is another whose boxoffice appeal was on the decline when he returned to his na tive Paris. Once one of the greatest drawing cards in Hollywood, his producers made the mistake of cast ing him in pictures which were too similar in plot. Diana Wynward shot to fame over night as the star of "Cavalcade," but enjoyed only a brief portion of fame. Nearly $1,000,000 was spent in training and promoting Anna Sten, daughter of the Duke of York, right. The duke iV first in line to the British throne with Princess. Elizabeth, who celebrated her tenth birthday the day this photo was taken, second in line Dodge county where John Themes also of Scribner, was declared the democratic nominee for supervisor by one vote. Phone ihe news to No. 6. '. . !Y.. i1-.' -'--'-: " o- Ruth Chatterton glamorous Russian star, but she was unconditionally released when her first two pictures failed to click with the public. The late John Gilbert was another whose career was one of ups-and-downs. He suffered a severe setback with the advent of the talkies, re turned to win brief success, and then again faded from the picture. New Types in Demand What is it that account for public taste and determines whether a star will prove a sensation or a flop in a picture? Apparently there is no an swer, because producers have lost millions of dollars on bad guesses. In some instances, producers ele vate a player to stardom on the strength of one picture which proved a sensation, only to discover that it was the picture and not the player which captured the public fancy. There is a constant demand for new faces and new types. It is this ceaseless search for talent which always makes it within the realm of possibility for anyone to crash the gates of Hollywood. But only a dozen or so of the thousands of extras who have at one time or another worked in films have been successful in winning a featured role. There are some, it is true, who have been headliners for years such stars as Greta Garbo, Marion Davies, Constance Bennett, Lionel Barry more but these are the exceptions, and for each of them there are a score of others whose names have been in lights and are now lost in the twilight. 5 mm ? x i mm f on a RiHe 1 Rules for Scoring Points in Yard and Garden Contest Plan to Be Used in Grading Various Yards and Gardens Entered in the Local Contest.

Utility Compan ies to Seek Quick Trial of Case litigation to Eestram PWA from Nebraska Projects Sought to Be Tried Soon. The Iowa-Nebraska Light and Pow er company and four other Nebraska electric companies now seeking to restrain PWA from proceeding with its plans to institute a state-wide power system financed with federal money will seek an immediate trial of their case in the supreme court of the District of Columbia, Lowell R. King, president of the Iowa-Nebraska company announced this after noon. The government has asked for a continuance of the case until next fail. A temporary injunction was ob tained by the electric companies early in February restraining the PWA and its officers from proceeding with their plan. Mr. King said the government's attempt to delay the case until fall came as a surprise move as he ay other men representing the utilities have been in Washington for the last ten or twelve days prepared and ready for the trial. "The electric companies did not seek at the time the injunction suit was filed, nor since, to stop or delay construction of the Columbus or, Sutherland projects as originally planned and contracted for, nor did they seek to stop the irrigation fea tures of the tri-county project," Mr. King said. "This latest move of the government to delay the case will un necessarily postpone the final deter mination of the question of the gov ernment's right to build a competi tive state-wide electric system, to the possible destruction of the in vestment of electric companies now serving this territory."
