Entire Town of k M^eddes Takes Up Hunt for Doctor League Forced to Aid in Search for Dr. Fyle Offers $2,000 Reward for In formation. Geddes, S. D., Feb. 10.—After a meeting of the executive committee of the newly formed “'Search for Dr. Fyle league," consisting of Dr. Fyle’s s.ster, Mrs. May Fyle Wheddon, the city mayor, president of the sahool board, president of the commercial club, master of the Masonic lodge, pastors of the Catholio and the com munity churches and the elected offi cers of the league, the following signed statement was issued: "A. cash reward of $2,000 is offered for information leading to the loca tion of Dr. Fred E. Fyle or the dis covery of his body If he is dead, re ward to be paid upon satisfactory proof or identification of his person or body. There are no strings tied to this reward. It is available In cash. We have only one purpose at this tune, that is to locate Dr. Fyle. "The doctor was last seen leaving Sioux City, Deember 11, 1923, at 3:30 1> m., in a Ford coupe, advising friends that he was going to Geddes, bis home, where he has a large hos pital and practice. "A description of the doctor and his car is as follows: He was 32 years , 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighed ^ . unds. iron gray hair, large blue eyes, drooping eyelids, had full set of false teeth, a dark brown round mole size of a dime on left temple, scar on right side of back near kidney. "When last seen he wore a gray suit, gray hat, long grayish brown overcoat. The car he drove was a Ford coupe of 1920 make, with three speed gear shfft, water pump, re bound checks on rear and shock ab sorbers. The 1923 South Dakota license number was 52,358, engine number is 5,642,598. There is a hole drilled in cover of rear compartment, size about one-half inch, near keyhole. One engine hanger casting was broken and repaired. "4n addition to the liberal cash re ward, without qualifying conditions, this committee is asking the help of every possible fraternal, civic, gov ernment, private and public agency, including radio broadcasting stations, In the nation-wide search. All that is being done here is purely from a humanitarian standpoint. “The entire community lias volun teered to see this search through until he is found. Dr. Fyle was a Consistory Mason, a Shrlner, an Elk, an Odd Fellow, n Woodman and a member *f the Methodist church. He was (t Plan of exceptionally wide and good reputation and a highly skilled physi cian and surgeon, thoroughly con scientious In his practice. “The slogan here is, “Find Dr. Fyle." Nothing will be left undone that is possible until this is accom 1 lished. His aged parents and other relatives are prostrated and this com munity. that he has done so much f< r in his 13 years’ practice here, is nimuus and deeply in earnest in this movement. It is requested that any information of value be trans mitted immediately to Warren E. Beck, president of the Search for Dr, Fyle league, Geddes. S.

Ago’ < l realize that I seem to be piping the honeyed lay of the press agent. And onw more I protest my Innocence. Bobby l.eonard and Mae Murray have, like Doug and Mary, one of those marriages based on an intense common interest. They are both absorbed in pictures and to gether they work out direction, busi ness. costuming and all the minor chores of creating a picture. It is undoubtedly due to this co-operation that Mae's achievements have broad ened so notably in the last few years. I have told of Mae's early struggles with light-heartedness. She herself recounts them today with a full ap preciation of their humor. But there is another more vital approach to the subject. You must consider that every picture is tremendously signifi cant to the screen actor involved. If It succeeds, well and good. If it is a "flop'' the proportionate damage to the actor's reputation is infinitely greater. I think I am safe in say ing that if even such emphatic suc cesses as Mary Bickford, Douglas Fairbanks, or Griffith were to make two or three successive failures they would find the coming back some what difficult. In fact, I have often heard Mr. Griffith remark, "I simply cannot afford to make a failure.” In the light of such knowledge, the heartache of Mae’s first weeks^ on the Basky lot are Instantly apparent. Here she was. fully conscious of what that first picture meant in her career And here at every step she was met by circumstances pointing to failure. And such heartaches, such beating of tvings against barriers of prejudice and misunderstanding and actual hos tility—those palpitate through many of the disputes recorded In this vol ume. CHAPTER SEVEN. Geraldine tlie Great. In the early winter of 1915 I went to the stage production of "M&rie Rosa." Who that witnessed the same performance can ever forget the crea tion of Mr. Lou Tellegen? That Lat in lover whose ferocity showed in every silken accent, in every gesture of panther-like, slim body—today this lingers with me as among the most telling of dramatic brush strokes. How distinctly I remember the Jlrst day that the young foreign actor, who, previous to his triumph In "Marie Rosa” had been hailed aa "Bernhardt's beautiful leading man," came to my office! We were talking about salary when suddenly Telle gen jumped up from his chair and walked over to look at a photograph on the wall. "Who is thRt?” he asked, peering at the face In the frame. "Oh," answered I, "don't you know her? That Is Geraldine Farrar.” , "Oh, yes, the famous singer," he responded, never taking his eyes from the dazzling victorious fare. "H'm— very, very beautiful, is she not?" he mused. I had hoped that he was perhaps permanently swept away from the theme which he had relinquished so abruptly. 1 had, however, underrat ed Mr. Tellegen's powers of recupera tion. A moment more and he was standing before mo with a light in his eyes very different from that evoked by the abstract consideration of beauty. "Let tis say a thousand dollars a week,” said he. “Certainly sfter all my experience I ought to be worth that.” Mention of Mr. Tellegen brings me logically to one achievement of my life which I always survey with pride. The year and a half that had elapsed since the production of "The Squaw Man” had brought almost in credible Improvements In both the manufacture and presentation of photo plays. The modern system of lighting had replaced our former re liance upon the rays of the sun. More and more we had substituted the carpenter for the scene painter. As to the motion picture theater It self, this, of course, presented en aspect very different from the pea nut-strewn area which In 1»13 had suggested by great enterprise. However, in spite of orchestral ac companiments and high priced seats, in spite of the growing ascendancy of such stars as Mary Plekford and Charlie Chaplin, the motion pictures were merely, popular. They were not fashionable. How to make them so. how to Intrigue that shy marginal group known a» ”lhe carriage trade” —here was the challenge offered to the producer of 1!>15 It was about this time that Morris Gest came to me and said: "I think I've about got Geraldine Farrar to the point where she's willing to go ,nto motion pictures. What's more, 1 believe she'll come with you Instead of with Zllkor, for tile Idea of Cali fornia is attractive to her. especially if she can go and come In a private car.” After a smile at this approach to the situation on the pert of Miss Farrar I asked him, "Hut how does the famous prima donna look these d#ys?” 'Wonderful! More beautiful than ever,” retorted Gesl. On the lirst evening when I-asky and 1 called at Miss Farrar’s home we found that Gcst s enthusiasm was not misplaced. As she swept into the drawing room to greet ns we both thought we had never in our lives seen any one so beautiful. It did nut take long to arrange matters between us. Miss Farrar agreed to go to California for eight weeks to make three picture*: ‘‘Marie Kosa," "Carmen" and "Temptation." For these services she was to re reive 1:0,000 and In consideration of the modesty of the sum —she would have realized more for a concert tour of the same length—we agreed to simply her with a special 1 ar to and from l.og Angelos, together with a furnished house, servants and food during the period of her stay. Oil all such minor points Miss Far rar was immediately reasonable Only In one subject did she display any vital curiosity. "Whom are you going to engage for inv leading man?" she asked. "Never mind. It will he somebody that you'll like," we assured her. "Hut.” she urged, "you know It's very important that my l>on .lose should he right. Otherwise tho per formanee would he ruined." Again wo assured her that she was sure to he sntlsflnd with our provl slon for Ibis part. "Hut who Is he?" she Insisted. "I want to know Ills name.'' We evaded this request. And we kept on evading il throughout out subsequent Interviews. This was not easy, for tn every spare moment tho prtniA donna would plead wit It no'. “Why won’t you tell me hi* name?" \||» ui ISI UKNT.

It was almost the first question she asked after she stepped from the special train bearing her into Cali fornia. So many people liav- asked mo for my first impression of Ueraldlne Far rar that 1 should like to interpolate tiers my response to that frequent inquiry. If you can picture a flow er.ng arbor and then picture the sub sequent surprise of finding inside of it a perfectly good dynamo you will have conceived the full force of Miss Farrar's personality. At the time when I mot her she was in her early •10s and that beauty of lucent gray eyes and curving lips—the flowering vigor of look which she doubtless inherited from some ancestress of the Irish seas—was then at Its height. Under this screen of physical allure I felt from the very first moment the pulse of a mind restless, eager, alert to every possibility of learning. Indeed, the figure with which I started falls short of conveying the full effect, of Miss Farrar's presence. Not only does she charge tho atmos phere with that mental vitality of hers, she creates the impression always of cutting—cutting straight through any given subject. If I had said, therefore, that the arbor con cealed one of those marvelous imple ments that cut, thrash and sack the grain, all in a single operation, I should have come nearer tlie ideal of description. Miss Farrar is. like Mary Pick ford, a captain of industry. She has the same masculine grasp of business, the same masculine approach to work. The difference between them is construed not alone by the im measurably greater cultural equip ment of Miss Farrar, but by many temperamental divergences. Whereas Mary Pickford's manner and voice are always marked by the feminine, almost childlike appeal to which I have referred, the prinia donna s speech has a man's directness *>f im port. She picks her words for strength, as might a. Jack London sea captain or an Elizabethan sol dier. And her utterance of these words reveals the same strange com pound of qualities X have noted else where. It is an enunciation both flowering and Incisive. The cantatrice's entrance into Hollywood was an unprecedented one. The mayor of I,os Angeles was there to welcome her to California. So were 5,000 school children. Cow boys in their chaps and sombreros added their customary picturesque ness to the scene. Flowers were everywhere. All Eos Angeles re minded you of a festa day In some Italian city. Nowadays we are so accustomed to spectacular personage* In the motion pictures that it Is hard to recapture for you the thrill that shook the entire country when Ger aldine Farrar, the queen of the Met ropolitan Opera house, canie to Cali fornia. The sight following Miss Farrar's arrival we gave her a dinner at the Hollywood hotel. This dinner Includ r<l among its 200 guests not only th“ leading representatives of the screen colony hut a number of dis tingnlahed sojourners. Among the latter may be mentioned Mr. John Drew and Miss lllanche King. At this dinner party Miss Farrar turned to me almost at once with her habitual question. "And now surely.” she pleaded, "you’re going to tell me who Is to be my Don Jose?" lie Mille and I exchanged a hag gard glance. Many, many times had we shuddered together over the thought, "What if she does’nt tike him?" Our previous experience with stars had taught us not to minimize that possible calamity. "Tell me.” repeated our great plan et. "Not another minute will I wait!” I was just about to reply wnm 1 looked up. T tall voung man had en tered tho door and was now walking toward us. Ho was only 23. His evening clothos were by no means faultless, but the face above them was flushed with excitement. Tho blue eves shone. I had never seen Wallace Reid look mn* like a beau tiful and romantic young man of the daguerreotype collection. "There." T whispered, watching her tensely, "there is your leading man." Sho had already noticed him and as lie moved slowly toward us sho never took her eyes from his face. At last. Just before he reached us, she began slowly nodding her head. "Very good.” she whispered, and the smile with which she said It lingered . s sho repented the encomium. "Very, very good." 1 do not need to dwell upon the re lief sfTordeil to us by that smile, t venture to suggest, how’ever, that It may have brought corresponding heart ease to Wallace himself.

Feb. 10.—A letter from \\ illiam H. Andereon, protesting his innocence of the charges on which he was convicted last week and sen tenced to from one to two years In state's prison, and conveying hla res ignation as superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league of New York, was made public today by the league. An announcement made at Glovers ville, X. Y„ yesterday that the league's directors had unanimously accepted the resignation, was con firmed. , Anderson, who was found guilty of third degree forgery for falsifying tlie league's books, asserted. he re signed so that his connection with the organization might not keep from its membership those who were "unable to comprehend” the kind of service lie had rendered the league. The former state superintendent, declaring he had given 24 years of his life to the dry cause and was willing “to lay down my life at any lime” for that cause, added that he dtd not shrink from the "greater sac rifice of having my good name false ly attacked as a result of my accom plishments." 11 is work, he continued, had put him In a false position in two re spects: "By trying to save the league the cost of this work, I left myself open to misrepresentation in case a trusted assistant went wrong; in or der to preserve inviolate a confidence respecting the assistance without which these victories would have l>cen impossible, I accepted a situation which would leave me helpless if I were ever unfairly called upon to prove rnv story." Air. Anderson declared that an ap peal from his conviction, which he in timated was contemplated, would be certain to vindicate him. Talented Mimic on World Bill A.

I hurried down to the kitchen, go ing with extra care i«st my mother in-law's room. She was asleep, and I devoutly hoped that nothing would, awaken her until we had finished ar ranging the bizarre expedition with .which Lillian hoped to mislead the detective who had been sent to trail the four orphaned children of William and Elisabeth Harrison. The smell of savory cooking filled the kitchen, and Katie was bustling about in the preparation of a dinner which in her opinion, a most, critical one, would do justice to the departure of the Braithwaites and their or phaned charges. Jim was helping her. and both turned expectant, interested face to me when I entered. That my emphatic caution concerning giving out any information as to our move ments, even to the Ticers, had excited their curiosity and their imagination was plain, but even voluble Katie put no question to me. "I'm sorry to interrupt your work, Katie,” I said, "but will you please go across the road and bring Mamie buck with you if you can? If not find out the earliest minute she can come over.” Katie tossed her head, her usual declaration of independence. "I no need dot Mamie," she said im portantly. "Hhe gool enough to clean rooms"—this with infinite condescen sion—“but in kitchen she two, free boonches of soop greens.” "We do not want her to help you, Katie," I explained with more pa tience than I fe.lt. "Mrs. Underwood wishes something of her." "Oh-h." Al,y little maid's eyes were rounder than ever as she hastily un tied her apron and threw a»coat over her head and shoulders. "I go me dees meenlte. Jeeni, eff you let dot cauli flower burn, 1 put kettle und burned stuff oppside down on your head." She accompanied the threat with a giggle as she hurried out of the door. Jim looked sheepishly askance at me. "Katie doesn't mean-" he began. "Don’t think you have to apolo gize for Katie to me, Jim," I laughed. "We have been together loo many years for me to misunder stand her.” “Yes, that's so,” Jim observed relievediy and went on with his stirring of some concoction which his wife evidently had delegated to him. while I smiled to myself, as I often had done before, at the curious yet happy combination which stolid sober Jim and voluble, erratio Katie make. It was but a few minutes before Katie returned with Mamie in tow. But there was neither curiosity nor excitement in Mamie's eyes. Whether her demea nor was due to stolidity, or a deter mination to betray nothing of her thoifehts to strangers. I did not know, nor did I bother to con jecture. but beckoning ber to follow me led the way to Lillian s room Ushering hec in, I turned to leave but an Imperative gesture from my friend stopped rne, and 1 waited, glad of the opportunity to observe the girl whose spirit and Intelligence I had admired upon the occasion of her mother's arrest for distilling whisky. "Mamie," Lillian went directly ta the point, "would you like to go to New York tonight?" The girl's face paled a bit, but she answered promptly "yes." Then her native cunning asserted itself, and she shot three questions at Lil lian. “Alone? On the train? Why?" Lillian smiled. "No, not alone, with me." she said. "And you will go on the train. The reason I am not going to tell you, but it is a good one.
