By JEAN ALLEN,

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.

'. . !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.

braska, was a visitor at Weeping

visit of inspection to Euclid lodge

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."

years was engaged in business in this
city, is now passing his century mark,

Mr. Waintroub was long a familiar
figure here where he operated a no
tion store and in his quiet and un
assuming way had his part in the
daily life of the community, honest
and faithful in his dealings with his
fellowman and to those who had the
opportunity of knowing him best, a
strong and steadfast friend.
A number of the children had lo
cated on the west coast and where
Mr. Waintroub with his daughter,
Henrietta and his son, Edward, final
ly removed, closing the old home
here.
He is enjoying excellent health,
letters received by friends state, and
in spite of his long years of life is
able to fully participate in the daily
tasks.
