Laura Hope Crews at Last
Recognized After Tutor
ing 'Stars' for Five Years
By Alexander Kahn
(U.P. Staff Correspondent)
Hollywood (U.R) Laura Hope
Crews, who has been away from
her native California for almost
50 of her 59 years, has come
back to her home state to reside
permanently.
At the same time the famous
stage actress is engaged in stag
ing a "comeback" as an actress
after several vears of teaching
movie stars how to speak be
fore a micropnone.
And now that she is settled
in one spot, she hopes to go
through with her plan to adopt
several children, a plan she first
hit upon many years ago but
which she was forced to drop
because of World war troubles.
Debut at Four
Miss Crews was born in San
Francisco on Dec. 12, 1880, and
made her professional stage de
but at the age of four at Wood
ward's Gardens in the bay city.
She was an outstanding child
actress and gradually shifted
over into adolescent and then
juvenile roles. Stock and reper
toire companies were her train
ing school and after years of
experience she became a lead
ing lady for such stars as John
Drew, Henry Miller, Leo Diet
richstein and others of equal
note.
While at the height of her
stage fame, Miss Crews decided
to turn her 146-acre Connecticut
their midst and for five years
and five boys who had no par
ents, giving them her name and
making them her heirs. But
business reverses and the col
lapse of the theatrical business
after the war prevented her
from carrying out those plans
It was in 1928 that Miss
Crews was persuaded to come
to Hollywood but not as a
player. Instead she was engaged
as a dramatic coach for the stars
of silent pictures who were try
ing to make the transition to
sound. She also acted in an ad
visory capacity In the selection
of stories for the stars. Among
her pupils were such stars
Norma Talmadge and Gloria
Swanson while she was advisor
to Constance Bennett and Ann
Harding.
Paradox
It was a strange paradox that
while producers sought to
change their silent players into
talking ones, for years they
overlooked the skilled actress in
their midst and for vive years
Miss Crews worked behind the
scenes, building up players, but
never getting a chance to regis
ter her own ability as an actress.
One of the breaks of Holly
wood came to her, however,
when John Cromwell assigned
Miss Crews to play a jealous
mother in "The Silver Cord." He
was familiar with her stage ca
reer and felt she could do the
role justice. Miss Crews was a
hit in the role and thereafter be
came much in demand for choice
character parts.
Currently she is appearing in
RKO Radio's comedy, "Reno,"
and has been cast in an import
ant role in "The Blue Bird," the
next Shirley Temple film.

MOTORCAR BEARS
HEAVY TAX RATIO,
Portland. (SpU The aver
age Oregon motorist pays $50.84
each year for the privilege of
owning and operating his auto
mobile. The figure, according to the
Oregon Stat Motor association,
represents the amount of local,
state and federal tnxes paid oy
the average cur owner in Oregon
in
A national survey made bv
the merienn Automobile asso
ciation shows tha. the average
U. S motorist pai.1 $51.87 in
1938 or approximately one dol
lar Mere than the Oregon mo
torist. Bearing the load of Increased
taxation, each car in its normal
life span pays levies equivalent
to twice its average value. Each
year, it was further explained,
the tax amounts to 23.4 per cent
of the average vehicle's value.
Comparing motor vehicle
taxes with those levied against
other forms of property, the mo
tor association reported that
"rural real estate in 1337 whs
taxed at the rate of only $1.15
per $100 of true value. Thus,
the motor vehicle with a value
constantly diminishing down to
zero in a limited period of time,
was taxed at 23 times the rate
of rural real estate, with a more
or less permanent and generally
increasing value,
"Reports from the interstate
commerce commission show that
in 1937 the over-all tax imposed
on the nation's class I railroads
was at the rate of $1 31 per $100
value, as compared with the
motor tax rate of $26.43 in the
same year. Thus the motor ve
hicle was taxed at a rate 20
times that imposed on the class I
railroads of the country."

BEING LID UP
FOR EMERGENCY
WASHINGTON (U.R) Gov
ernment and private agencies
are auietlv drawing up plans for
wartime use of the United States'
unequalled network of long and
short wave radio transmitters.
Military authorities, it was
said, have obtained tecnnicai
data on every radio station in
the country and have conferred
informally with the American
Radio Relay league, which repre
sents a majority of the w.uuu
amateur stations. They couia
provide a highly efficient net
work for emergency communi
cations. The army and navy direct
their own amateur organizations
and are interested in all ama
teurs' developing independent
power supplies that could keep
the stations-Jn operation even
though the ordinary power
plants were out of commission.
Military authorities and league
members are linked closely
through the federal communica
tions commission. While officials
declined formal comment, it was
reported that the FCC is in fre
quent contact with army and
navy representatives. The com
mission has been cooperating
closely with the ARRL, and last
year, for the first time, adopted
special rules covering operation
of amateurs during an emergency.
"Most of us in the league an
ticipate some kind of war ser
vice." Roy Cordeman," regional
director of the ARRL said. "We
could help handle the flood of
military point-to-point messages
And of course we couid help di
rect rehabilitation and relief
work. We've done that before.
'But probably our greatest
help would come in intercepting
enemy messages and detecting
invading airplanes.
Cordeman scoffed at one pop
ular idea that amateurs were
mostly teen-aged boys who
stayed up all night tinkering
with their equipment.
"The average age of the ARRL
member is about 28. Cordeman
said. "We are capable individu
ally and as an organization. We
are ready to help."
FCC officials supported Corde
man's views, pointing out that
many amateur operators would
be more effective during war
time than some commercial
telegraphers. The amateurs, it
was explained, were accustomed
to combating interference and
equipment failure, such as might
be experienced during an emer
gency.
Central Texas has many Czech
and German settlements.
