“The girl with the red-gold hair
and the sea-green eyes,” known to
the musical comedy world as Jeanette
MacDonald, has gone “talkie” thru
a whim of fate. Ernst Lubitsch, the
famous director, went in search of
a proper leading lady for Maurice
Chevalier for “The Love Parade,” the
screen’s first, original musical ro-
mance. In New' York Lubitsch attend-
ed every musical show and every
show in production in search of the
perfect type he desired for the role
of Queen Louise.
At last he decided that Jeanette
MacDonald was the perfect type. She

“BRUISE PROVES TO BE
GERMAN BULLET IN SPINE
Chicago, May 9.—What Edward H.
Pearson believed to be stomach trou-
ble was a German bullet in his spine.
He carried it for 12 years.
Pearson was a lieutenant in the
Three Hundred and Twelfth Infan-
try, Seventy-eighth Division. In the
Argonne Forest he was knocked down
by what he supposed was a piece of
flying brick. He thought it only
bruised him on the back.
He received no medical treatment
at the time and it was not until a
recent x-ray examination that he
learned the “bruise” to be a wound.

Maurice Chevalier is cast in the

speak immediately. His surprised
gaze gave way, when he recognized
Tom Allen, to a smile of satlsfac

When Shep noticed that Tom con
tined to cling to tho whipstock he
found himself at loss for word3. Ob-
viously, he dared not yield any
ground to the white man. but he
shrewdly saw that he could make
no auspicious start agaiust him
without full possession of the whip.
"What do you mean?" he de
manded.
"What 1 mean Is this," Tom an
swered heatedly, taking a firmer
grasp on the whip and thrusting it
close to Shep’s face: "if you ever
strike another white man with that
I’ll ram It down your throat." He
released the whip and stood back.
Shep was stunned, not so much
by Tom’s audacity as by. the fact
that he had been challenged before
the eyes of Mia natives and whites
alike. He stared at the whip and
then at Tom.
"I ought to use dls whip on you
till you begs for mercy," -he told
Tom. The Englishman shrugged.
"But,” added Shep, “I ain’t goin’ to
do It.” Then, before the relief of

He halted his steps. "AK rigtit.
