HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 28. m
The blood and thunder of gang
warfare on the screen is giving way
to the moonlight and roses of rom-
ance and to the thrills and chills
of mystery.
The drama of cities terrified by
machine gun rule is passing out—
another cycle of film plots gone on
its way to oblivion, temporarily at
least.
In no major studios are gangster
themes of the extreme type such as
"Little Caesar," "The Doorway to
Hell," and "The Public Enemy," on
the production schedules.
Producers seem to believe the
public has had its fill of films por-
traying with ultra-vivid scenes the
"inner workings" of gangland, and
that the few now on exhibition
should satisfy completely any de-
mand that is left. "The Public
Enemy" is breaking records in New
York, and "Quick Millions," a bril-
liantly satircal treatment of the rise
and fall of a gang leader, is doing
well wherever th;j censors have left
It as produced.
The loss of interest in gang plots
is not due to any official ban by
the producers' association, for that
organization has remained silent on
the subject. But Will Hays, its
leader, recently expressed the opin-
ion that changing public tastes, a
desire for more romance on the
screen, would bring about the de-
cline of the mob rule theme. This
is what has happened.
The passing of the gang theme
marked, however, by several pic-
tures In which gangland serves us
background of motivation. "The
Star Witness" tells what happens
when an innocent man, father of a
family, by chance sees a gang kill-
ing. In "Free Soul" Nora Shearer
becomes infatuated with a gang-
ster, and in "The Mad Marriage"
Helen Twelvetrees marries one Im-
pulsively. iTie latter was origin-
ally titled "The Gangster's Wife,"—
the revised title is significant of
the movie trend.
Romance, sweet and unsophisti-
cated, is returning with such pic-
tures as "Daddy-Long Legs" and
"Merely Mary Ann," starring Jay-
net Gaynor; adventurous romance
like "The Son of India" with Ramon
Navarro, and the eternal "West-
ern" romance, the plain boyand-
glrl story,—all ride eternally on,
cycles or no cycles. The revived in-
terest in "kid pictures," like "Tom
Sawyer," "Skippy," and the rest,
continues.
But its th# trend toward mystery
stories that is most pronounced at
present. Inspired by the success of
"Draccula," the Universal is mak-
ing "Frankenstein," and Paramount
offers Frederic March in "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde."
Local Presbyterian women will
have a food sale Saturday morning
beginning at 10 o'clock at the Oil
Belt grocery.
Her Age?
Eighteen or thirty-five...
each is a reasonable guess.
Decidedly different, however,
is Georgette's prescribed
treatment for club women
and for debutante. Thirty-five
requires remedial courses
which are superficial for
eighteen. Specially - adapted
beauty courses for each age
arc further modified to suit
individual requirements,

Self-Supporting Careerist
Out of her social background she
became a record-winner aloft and
a self-supporting careerist.
Now. with four records in her
book, she Is going after another.
When Ruth Nichols was born in
New York. Feb. 23, 1901. there was
no thought in the minds of her
parents that some day she would
fly over the family housetop. Avia-
tion then was still the dream of
visionaries, and few indeed were
even the boys who thought of a
experience. Then was born her de-
termination to fly a plane herself.
Learned to Ply in 1923
But it was not until four years
later that she learned how. She was
in Florida on a visit. There she
saw a flock of hydroplanes zoom-
ing over the water. They fascinat-
ed her, and she stayed out of Wel-
lesley a year to learn to fly the sea
birds.
Her Instructor at Miami was Cap-
tain Harry Rogers, with whom she
later was to make her first sensa-
tional exploit—the first nonstop
flight from New York to Miami.
Her first solo flight was in 1923.
Returning to college, she was grad-

Montgomery Ward & Co
Among the most prominrt worn-
end attending the state meeting
of Business and Profeskional
Women's clubs in Amarillo this
week is Miss Martha Connole of
Ea t St. Louis, III., legislative
chairman of the National Federa-
tion of Business and Professional
Women's clubs.
Deserting the teachers profession
fcr the law because she believed
that the latter field offered better
opportunities for women, Miss Con-
nole has forged into u position of
prominence among women lawyers
of the middle west.
She is a native of Carrollton. 111.,
and a graduate of Carrollton high:
school, where she won recognition for
her ability as a public speaker. Her j
first professional experience was as
a teacher in a "little red school
house" near Carrollton. After a few
years in this ungraded school she I
became an elementary school teach-,
er in Whitehall, 111., and by spe-
cializing during the summer re-
cesses at the Illinois State Normal
school advanced to high school
teacher.
In high school she successfully
coached the girls' chorus and the
boys' basketball team. At one time
she had general charge of athletics,
as well, coached the track team and
managed its trips to athletic meets.
Her legal studies were undertaken
at St. Louis university, and she was
graduated With nn LLB degree, be-
ginning the practice of law in Illi-
nois in 1917.
Of vigorous and forceful |>erson-
ality and superabundant health.
Miss CJonnole has found much time
for club work, insptte of the fact
that she has a busy practice and
also serves as public administrator
l'or St, Clair county.
She served for eight years us dis-
trict legislative chairman for the
Federated Women's clubs of Illi-
nois, and for several years as vice-
president cf the State Women's Re-
publican clubs of Illinois. Shu has
been prominent at recent republi-
can national conventions.
When the National Federation of
Business and Professional Women's
clubs was organized at St. Louis In
1919 she served on the credentials
committee. She has had api>oint-
ments on several important nation-
al committees and has been presi-
dent cf her local club, state presi-
dent of Illinois, and national vieft-
president from Illinois. It Is not so
easy to pick Miss Connole's avoca-
tion. for she has a variety of inter-
Her future has become a certain-
ty. She was bound to fly.

BAPTIST WORK
! IS DISCUSSED
AT W M S MEET
"Our Force, Our Field" was dis-
cussed by members of the Central
Baptist Woman's Missionary Society
j at a meeting at the church Wed-
| nesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
The following topics were given:
The Witness of the Resurrection,"
Mrs. W. J. Turpin; "Viewing Our
, Force" und "Viewing Our Field,"
| Mrs. Kay R. Hungate; "How Our
Force Is Organized," Mrs. O. J. Mc-
: Alister; "How Our Force Works,"
I Mrs. Lloyd Satterwhlte; "How Our
Field Is Reached," Mrs. E. V. Davis.
A reading und pantomime num-
ber was given by Mrs. J. M. White,
assisted by several other members.
This was followed with a solo by
Miss Ruby Scaief, and a dialogue,
"The Line of the Oold Thread," by
Mrs. R. M. Mitchell and Mrs. L. L.
Brewer.
The general watchword. "Labor-
ers together with Ood," and a pray-
er closed the meeting for the fol-
lowing members: Mesdames R. M.
Mitchell, R. P. Simmons, Lloyd Sat-
terwhlte, O. D. Holmes, J M.
White, H. T. Beckham, W. J. Tur-
pin, L. L. Brewer. Douglass Evans,

ests outside her ornce.
Politics is one of them, and she
has been an outstanding figure
anion:? the women in attendance at
recent republican natioal conven-
tions. The promotion of women Is
another. Miss Connole is in the
forefront of every movement to fur-
ther the progress of women in her
section of the country, and she cam-
paigned ardently for Ruth Hanna
McCcrinick during the latter's sena-
torial campaign. The National Fed-
eration of Business and Professional
Women's clubs is indubitably a
third. Miss Connole served on the
credentials committee when the
federation was organized In 1919 at
St. LjuLs and she has been an ar-
dent supporter of the organization
ever .' ince, serving it in various ca-
pacities, which climaxed with her
appointment in 1927 at national
legislation chairman.
Still a fourth of Miss Connole's
hobbies is Connole lodge, her at-
tractive home in the country cut-
side St. Louis. Characteristic of
her is the story she tells of how she
happened tojjuy It. "I wanted a
house with plenty of trees around
it," she says. "A friend telephoned
me that there was a house I could
buy near her. When I found there
were trees. I didn't look at the
house. I bought it anywav. It was
the trees I wanted."
And so it was that Miss Connole
acquired the little house, bordering
a deep ravine, in a setting of sturdy
fcrest trees, where she lias played
hostess at one time or another to
most of the officers of the National
Federation oi Business and Profes-
sional Women's clubs.
