HE-BEAUTIES OF
FILMS LOSE OUT
TO VIRILE TYPES
Cagney's Entrance Dealt
Death Blow to Matinee
Idol Character Work
Best Bet Now Says Cooper
By LEICESTER WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, . J U Xi e 22. (UP)
Junes Cagney may not be aware of
It, but his entrance In motion pic
tures dealt a death blow to the mati
nee Idol type of actor.
It Is a fact that what roughly are
termed "leading men" In Hollywood
may be counted on the fingers of one
hand. The rest have become charac
ter actors.
Gone Is the "profile actor," of the
type made ram oust by Francis X.
Bushman and John Barrymore. John
switched to character roles and can
play the swashbuckler, the hard
boiled business man or the home-loving
husband with equal ease.
It's one of the Inexplicable myster
ies of Hollywood why the leading
man type suddenly faded from popu
larity, but hts disappearance dated
roughly from Cagney's debut as the
hard-loving, fighting, virile he-man.
"The public doesn't give a hang
for leading men any more," In Gary
Cooper's opinion. His advice to young
Juveniles juot getting a break In
films la to "go Immediately into
character work." A matinee Idol, he
' pointed out, must combine every vlr
ture In every role he plays.
There's an extreme dearth of util
ity leading men. The late Robert
Ames . was one of the best of this
type. He was one of the few who
could play opposite the seasoned act
ress, Gloria Swanson, Helen- Hayes,
Ann Harding. Joel McCrea, for In
stance, would be lost with his open-
faced virtue, opposite women older
than himself.
No, real masculine beauty, with
dimples, slick hair and a nice pro
file, definitely has disappeared. In
place of this type, the studios are
importing dozens of young juveniles
to groom for utility leading roles,
and none of them was picked for hts
beauty. Practically without excep
tion, they have three of four years
of stock company experience under
their hats.
In recent weeks more than a dozen
Juveniles have been brought to Hol
lywood under contract. One, John
Eldrldge, was cast in four pictures
at one time, so acute was the short
age of men actors on his lot.
It will be Interesting to watch the
climb of the following neophltes:
Russell Hardle, Nelson Eddy, Henry
Wadsworth and George Wolcott, at
M.-G.-M.; Ray MlHand and Kent Tay
lor, at Paramount; Eldrldge, Donald
Woods, Rosa Alexander, Merwa Light
and Glen Boles at Warners' and Rog
er Pryor at Universal.
Maybe they'll develop Into charac
ter actors as did Dick Arlen, Clark
Gable and Cooper. Maybe they'll
even disprove the statement that a
leading man la good for only three
or four years on the screen.
JUBILEE IVIES
Moving pictures of the Oregon Dia
mond' Jubilee celebration which were
received last week by the publicity
department of the California Oregon
Power company are proving much In
demand. Tuesday noon the Copco
films were shown at a meeting of
the Medford Rotary club, Wednesday
noon to the local Lions club and
several other programs are scheduled
for next week.
The films present an Interesting
pictorial review of the main features
of the Jubilee program, Including the
colorful- pioneer parade In its en
tirety, the rodeo, the agricultural and
Industrial parade and other novel
sidelights of southern Oregon's great
est celebration.
In response to many requests plans
are being considered by the Jubilee
committee to put on a public show
ing of the Copco films, In order to
give everyone an opportunity to see
these interesting pictures.

FARLEY URGED TO
ATTEND CONCLAVE
Requesting the presence of Post
master General James A. Parley st
the state of Oregon postoff ice clerks'
and carriers convention here July 14,
a novel Invitation was mailed last
night to Washington, D. C, by Post
master Frank DeSouza. It is not
the ordinary type of Invitation, but
consists of a water color painting of
Crater Lake and a fisherman with
rod and line decorating a 14xl6-lnch
placard on which a suitable Inscrip
tion is printed by hand. The work
was done by Leslie Van Doren.
Following is the message:

Washington, D. C.
"Dear Sir: Oregon postofllce clerks
and carriers will meet in Joint state

Oregon Caves. Rogue river offers you
its wonderful steelhead fishing.
"On behalf of the clerks and car
riers of our offtce, I urgently request
acceptance of this Invitation.
"Respectfully,
"FRANK DeSOUZA.
"Acting Postmaster."
An Invitation will also be sent to
Postmaster General Farley by the city

Chamber of Commerce, it was an
nounced yesterday. Letters will also

JAP TRAINING VESSEL
WILL VISIT PORTLAND
PORTLAND, Ore., June 22. (AP)
Coming direct from Yokohama, the
auxiliary sailing ship Talsel Maru,
training vessel operated by the
Japanese marine officers, will visit
Portland again this year. -The Jap
anese consul here said the ship will
arrive July 22. Portland Is the only
coast port to be visited.

murtl, one-time "Boy Messiah," pro
tege of the late Annie Besant, be'
lieves the world is heading for unbe
lievable catastrophes "unless men
learn to think."
The young Hindu, more mature
than when he came here seven years
ago as a mere boy, has established a
camp of followers for the summer In
the sunburned foothills of southern
California.
Since his last visit here, he has
been to all parts of Europe, Australia
and New Zealand and his native In
dia. Of Europe, he said:
"Conditions are appalling, with an
other war certain and soon, unless
something happens.
"Millions are dying of hunger In
India and China this year all because
men are too lazy to think.
"Man through the centuries has
accepted an economic structure based
on the Idea of his possessions. On
the other hand, we have the com
munists, who would do away with
possession. Between the two ex
tremes, circumstances are making
slaves of men. They are being legis
lated, when the way out Is by volun
tary action. They are waiting for
someone to rise up and lead them;
they are too lazy to think for them
selves."
Russia, Krishnamurtl believes. Is
making strides. Though he has not
visited there, he Is keenly Interested
In the outcome of 'efforts to thwart
man's traditional love of possession."
There is a strong nationalistic feel
ing In India, he said; a belief that If
only India can be freed from British
rule the starving will be fed and all
will be righted.
SALLY'S FAN DANCE IS

CHALLENGED BY
MODERNSCIENCE
Chemical Reactions Within
Individuals May Be Factor
Directing Evolution Is New
Scientific Idea Advanced
By H. wendel Burch
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
BERKELEY, Calif., June aa. (UP)
Charles Darwin's theory, of how
men developed from lower animals
was challenged in part today by
modern scientists who presented a
new theory of evolution and its
operation advancing chemical laws
as directors of evolutionary trends.
Dr. Harold F. Blum, University of
California, told the American Asso.
elation for the Advancement of
Science tliat all observers are not
satisfied change variation and nat
ural selection are the only forces
directing development of complex
life forms.
Relatively simple chemical reac
tions within individuals, acting un
der natural laws Involving large
losses of free energy, may be the
true factors directing evolution, Dr.
Blum held.
"In all evolutionary processes," said
Dr. Blum, "natural selection must
have played an Important part. The
present thesis is thus not at all an
tagonistic to the concept of natural
selection, although It may suggest
some modifications."
Disagreement with majority opinion
concerning the exact processes of
evolution also was expressed by John
Thomas Howell of the California
Academy of Sciences.
Howell studied plants from the
Galapagos Islands,' where Darwin Is
said to have been Inspired to ad
vance the theory of evolution. The
modern researcher said he became
convinced that environment to some
degree had changed the hereditary
nature of plants.
The conviction opposes accepted
theories that environment can In
fluence evolutionary trends only by
killing off Individuals whose hered
itary character la unsulted to the
environment.
Howell also remarked that he be
lieved study would show environ,
mental Influences might be explain
ed In terms of chemistry and
physics.
and are now at the naval training
station at San Diego, Calif., for their
three months of preliminary train

Orpheus L. Swltzer, of Grants Phss.
Leon C. Bishop of Fort Klamath and
Wesley Osborne of Bandon were the

Although no quota was assigned
to the local station due to its late
opening, In consideration of the ex
ceptionally high marks made by the
foregoing men in the physical, men

Walker was granted special permis.
slon from the commanding officer of
this district to select these men.
Selections for the July quota which
will be enlisted about July 30 will

very limited number of vacancies
