Freigfyi Rates 0ftl Newsprint Paper . , Held As Too High By Itohltlii Coons HOLLYWOOD Aspersions been cast on the fnlr face of movie land before, but Philip Merlvnlo of the stage Is due to rank high among the aspersion-casters' of all time. Ho Is stern and ho glowers as he men t tons the name of Hollywood. Come October, when he will be free of his contract, and he will be gone from these parts, he says, forever. He has been here since February, and to date has not made a picture. "For two years," he storms quietly and with dignity, of courso "I fought against coming Into pictures, and last year I finally allowed- my-' self, against my better Judgment, to be lured to Hollywood. Endurance Contest "What have I done since? Noth ing. I am waiting. Watting. They hope, I suspect, that X will become tired nnd commit suicide. But I have disappointed them, and am- still watting. They tell me I am to play In 'As Husband Go.' I am not keen on doing It, but If I do I will bo able to leave the sooner. Therefore Z wel come it. The sooner I can escape from this terrible place the less un happy I shall be. I have tried to set tle my contract, but we have been unable to come to terms. So hero I am. To save my sanity I havo usedi the time writing a couple of plays. They are not much, but at least they kept me from going crazy." Another "sanity-saver" Is his star ring role for George K. Arthur In "A Tale of -Two Cities" a play he has considered, he says, taking to New York in the winter. By now you will have gathered, as I did, that Mr. Merivale does not like Hollywood. Ho does not like pic ture, either, except for certain of Charles Chaplin's. He goes to films, he says, only when he is "caught In the rain and they offor shelter." 1 Aside from a conviction that the screen suffers from "Infantilism" and has no stylo whatever "style being the essence .of art" Morlvale has no personal grievance against it, except that it keeps him here. "And after seeing my test," ho declares, "I don't know whyl" Merivale, one of Broadway's best known actors, star recently of "Death takes a Holiday" anfl "Cynara," Is here on a two-nlctur rnntriict. wlt.1.

PELICAN FACING FATE OF EXTINCT AUK AND PIGEON WASHINGTON, W) The fate of that "queer old bird, the pelican, whose beak holds more than his belly can," Is worrying Uncle Sam. ' There is real danger, the national park service has discovered, that the ungainly, pouch-beaked bird may follow the great auk and the pas eon go r pigeon to extinction. 1 ' A survey of the pelican population Just completed by the pnrk sorvlco's wild life division shows that there are probably fewef than 50,000 of the white pelican species loft In tho United States and Canada. Once tho birds Wero ' countless throughout North America. ' ?l t , Generally Unpopular,'" ondi with every man's hand against it, the un fortunate pelican is losing out in the struggle against the advance of civil ization. Tho park service is trying to save It by protecting its breeding grounds not only rronx hunters but, equally as Important; from mere vis itors, who disturb the birds to such an extent they break and abandon their eggs. The pelican Is one of the champion fish enters of the United States, and for that' reason has been ruthlessly slaughtered in the post. Fishermen believed the. birds Ayere seriously de pleting the supply 'of; 'fish.- A good-sized colony of pelicans may contmme as much as 4000 tons of fish in a season, the park service points out, but these, they say, for the most part are fish that are4 value less as human food, and In some cases are fish that cause real damage to foodt fish.
