@ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1929 MON NOVARRO WARNS GIRLS OF ~ MOVIE COLONY i Says Americans Will Not Always Monopolize Screen Toronto, June 19.--~Ramon No- arro was in town Sunday night, Buccessor of Rudolph Valenuno, matinee idol of ten million girls, hero of a hundred movies, the sheik of screenland -- unheralded and unsung--arrived from Europe, spent exactly eighteen and a half © minutes in Toronto and proceeded westward on the Chicago train for Hollywood. Boarding number nineteen train "as it neared the city limits, the in- - of the terviewer located Mr, Novarro in compartment B of the rear coucu, Five feet ten inches of hand- someness sat on a red plush seat, and was graciousness personified fn welcoming the interviewer, "Do sit down, It is good of you to come,' he said, and the first m- pression recorded was that of a foreign accent, for Ramon was born and educated in Durango, Mexico, Instinctively one thought "talkies'"" and the report that his co-star, Vilma Banky, had recently lost her job in the movies through her inability to speak Eng- , lish, Is is true that Vilma Banky 1s no longer in the movies?"

"I would not be a bit surprised" and two shining black eyes gleam- ed as they do in the movies. "The talkies are revolutionizing the moving picture industry. I do not know for certain about Miss Banky for 1 have been way for three and a half months." "There is going to be a big the flickering pictures, Studios will predicted, 'The talkies are devel- oping stars the people never heard of, Youth and beauty no longer are prime requisites, A good re- cording voice is absolutely essen- tial, If you have not that, out you go." In Mr, Novarmo's opinion no longer will America control the output of moving pictures, Holly- wood will cease to be the centre of the flickerng petures, Sruaos will become established in every coun- try, and talkies will be made in the language of the land prodycing the picture, "English-speaking talkies will never be released in any country where English is nov the common tongue," he said, "It will not be possible to use 'doubles' in the talkies," went on the man whose features adorn the boudoir of at least a million girls. "In short time it will no longer be possible to have someone else sing the lines for you, ds Richard Bar- thelmess did in 'Weary River." No Fears for Future Ramon has no fears for his own future in the talkies. His Mexican accent is so slight and his newly devioped English pronunciation go perfect, it is said that his suc- cess in the "noisies" is assured, His latest picture now showing on Broadway, is "The Pagan' and in it Ramon does a little singing. Yes, girls, Ramon sings too, In fact, he once taught music and last year announced his intention to sing grand opera, "Why did Emil Jannings leave Hollywood?" the interviewer ask- ed, ' 'Simply because he could speak only in German, He was forced out, of American movies He is now producing a German-talking picture in Germany, I have been in Europe studying the field there. Yes, we did a little work." "We" included a party of lesser moving pleture stars who occupied the re- mainder of the coach, 'Mr. Novarro, if the girls of To- ronto knew you were in our city, they would be tremendously disap- pointed not to have seen you, Have you any message for them?" Delicate looking hands buried themselves in a head of black, black hair. "You embarrass me," he said. 'You had better suggest something I might say," and he seemed genuinly confusd and abashed, : "Then say somethin to movie- struck girls," the interviewer en- couraged, 'The reply was instan- taneous: 'Tell them to keep away from Hollywood," he warned. "The bread lines are filled witn boys and girls whoh aven't chance in the world of getting into the movies, T Good Taste Rules herself in having.

Keech, who was travelling at 120 miles an hour, was instantly killed. HELD SERVICE 109 YEARS AGO UNDER TREE AS PULPIT Boston Presbyterians Will Celebrate Next Sunday Boston, June 19 --Just 69 years ago, Eliza Menzies, daughter of James Menzies, a ploneer of Pus- linch, where she was born ninety- three and a half years ago, came to lot 14, third concession. Esques- ing township as the bride of John Robertson, whose father, Willam Robertson, had been present at the first service held in connection with what became afterwards Bos- ton Presbyterian congregation This service was held in the open field on the farm of James Laid- law, Lot 6, concession 4, The preacher, Rev William Jenkins, who came from Markham for the purpose, stood at the foot of a felled tree, while the people gat about on the fallen trees to har him. This was on June 20, 1820, and on Sunday next will be cele- brated the 109th anniversary of this service John Robertson sat as a lad under the infrequent ministrations of Revs, William Jenkins, Abner Wright and Willlam King, until the congregation was constituted, and Rev Peter Ferguson became the regular pastor. Mrs, Robertson racalls the frame church to which she was intro- duced as a bride, a substantial square building, with benches for seats the minister's pulpit on one side, and a gallery facing the pul- pit: A Solemn Service Most vivid recollection she has is that of the communion services, Narrow tables were set up on testles and covered with fair white cloths, Three elders assisted the pastor in this most solemn service, and the congregation rose in silence, passed to the tables and sat about thm in an awe-inspiring stillness. The elders passed the elements to those at the head of the tables, each communicant in turn handed the vessels to his neighbor, the whole service being invested with a sacrednss hard to describe Mrs. Robertson, who is in her 94th year, brings pictures of the stern Scotch pioneers who built up a Zion in Boston hefore her hear- ers as In a strong, clear voice she describes by-gone days at Boston. Tea-meetings were held, but there was no place in which to set tables, so the viands were passed in baskets to the congregation in their seats. Summer brought the setting of tables on the lawn of the beautiful old church-yard, bunt the narrator laughs as she recalls the rain that invariably fell on the date of Boston tea-meeting. Outraged Sabbath Those were the days of trial by the Session, and in the records still extant may be read the story of a man who had part of a machine transferred to his home on the Sabbath, After facing a stern and outraged Session,, he was glad t» promise rigid adherence to the rules of Sabhbath-keeping prevail- ing in Boston church Calling on Mrs, Robertson last Sunday was M, E. Turner, present clerk of the Session, whose father held that office for 39 years be- fore him and whose forbears aro among the earliest settlers at Bos- ton, With Mr, Turner was W. J Hampshire, descendant of Malcolm McNaughton, present superinten- {endent of the school. Thomas Joyce, a member of the choir, is a 'descendant of another old family, the McCollums, his great-grandfather being one of the committee to build the - frame church, Mrs Robertson recalls the erec- tion of the present church just 61 years ago by the McDonald Brothers, Duncan and John, who have left a lovely monument to their architectural skill, Her daughter, Mrs. Isabella Emmett, and her two sons, Freeman and Ben, still link the family to old Boston congregation, while Mrs, Emmett's daughter, Mrs. A, H McGibbon, and her granddaughter, Helen McGibbon, round out four generations of faithful adherence and service 'to the church, The new air service connecting Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, British Honduras and Cuba is said to be a success, and will be ex- and San Juan, DOUBLE STREETS FOR BIG BUILDINGS Mooring Aerial Landings and Other Contrivances Montreal, June 19.--Addressing delegates to the annual convention of the Natioanl Building Owners and Managers Association at Mon- treal, C. T. Colby, manager of the Equitable Building, New York, predicted that office buildings of the future will occupy a minimum space of 280 feet by 200 feet, with high-speed double-deck automobile streets, and double-deck sidewalks on the outside to handle the con- centration of people. He also sald that it will be necessary to develop areas below the street level to «us great a depth as possible. Also there will be no radiation in. of- fices as is known today, according to Mr, Colby, who said that a new heating system principle would have to be developed. It was predicted that buildings of the future would be .equipped with vacuum contrivances at all entrances so that people entering such buildings would have thelr shoes automatically cleaned and thus not carry any dirt into the building. Mooring masts and landing fields on top of buildings will also be a part of each office building's standard equipment, according to Mr. Colby, Leo J. Sheridan, of Chicago, an- other speaker, said that newspaper advertising was the best method of renting space in modern skyscrap- ers. "Competition in the markec- ing of skyscraper space necessi- tates the merchandising of the owners' wares in the same fashion as department stores or nationally- known manufacturers advertise their goods, except that the price appeal is not the element. to be stressed," sald Mr. Sheridan, "Newspaper space in the display columns is the most effective agen cy for obtaining prestige and char- acter for the modern office build- ing." Nominations for various offices the association Were made as tollows: President, Paul Robert. son, Indianapolis; first vice-presi- dent, C. F. Palmer, Atlanta, Ga.; second vice-president, Tarrant King, Boston, Mass.; third vice- president, David Whitcomb, Seat. tle, Wash.; socretary-treasurer, Graham Aldis, Chicago, Ills. Elec- tions will be held I'riday. J. J. Perrault, a Montreal archi- tect declared that if tenants in apartment buildings insisted on having colored bathrooms, colored tiles and colored fixtures to meet the bath, rents would certainly ve raised. He pointed out, howover, that the - color scheme of bath- rooms, etc, was probably only a RHODES SCHOLARS PLAN REUNION Some 200 Rhodes Scholars With Their Families Likely to Attend Oxford, Eng., June 19%.---Plans are being shaped for a reunion of Rhodes scholars at Oxford Univer- sity July 11 to 15, the 25th anni- versary of the scholarships found- ed by Cecil Rhodes. He died mm 1902 and the first Rhodes scholars from the British dominions and the United States came into resi- dence at Oxford in the fall of 1904. The Rhodes House, on South Parks Road, will be open for the reunion. Some 200 former Rhodes 'scho- lars, with their families, will like- ly attend. A slight increase in the numbers of Rhodes scholars who resign at the end of their second year is the reason given by F. A. Wylie, Ox- ford secretary to the Rhodes trust, for an important change in the sys- tem of electing Rhodes scholars. The change will take effect this fall, According to the new rule a scholar will be elected for two years; if he desires a third year, and his college recommends it, hs scholarship will be extended an- other year. in LRA before being allowed to read for a degree in. the honor schools which they had selected, and in conse- quence needed the three years in order to take their degrees. . By arrangement with the Oxford Uni- versity authorities, however, prac- tically all Rhodes scholars are given senfor standing and allowed to begin reading at once for their degrees.
