TO JEAN HARLOW
Associates in Film Industry
Unite in Praise—Director
Calls Her‘Great Actress.’
By he Associated Press. j
LOS ANGELES, June 8.—The death
of Jean Harlow yesterday brought ex
pressions of sorrow from many of her
famous associates in the motion
picture industry.
Some of the tributes:
I Clark Gable, who was working in a
I picture with her when she was
* stricken: "I am too overcome by
grief to make any comment.”
W. S. Van Dyke, who directed her
In many pictures: "She leaves us at
the height of a glorious career—a
great actress and an even greater
friend.”
Gary Cooper: "She was a beauti
ful and gallant trouper."
Cecil B. De Mille: "One of the
most vital personalities to emerge on
the screen in a decade."
Called "Fine Artist.”
FYed Astaire: “A fine artist and
one of Hollywood's most beloved citi
zens.”
Charles R. Rogers, head of Uni
versal: "The industry has suffered a
great loss.”
rsarDara oianwyca. n was uruupera
like Jean who made it a joy to work
in pictures.”
Bing Crosby: "The suddenness of
her passing makes it the more terrible
for those who knew her.”
Flank Lloyd (director): “Hers is'—
en incalculable loss.”
Eddie Cantor: "Jean Harlow richly
merited the esteem we all had for her,
both as an actress and as a person.
Her less is a blow to all of us in pic
tures.”
Sonja Heme: "I think Miss Har
low was one of the most refreshing
personalities I have ever known. She
tras full of life, kindly and tolerant.”
Was Acclaimed in Europe.
Peter Lorre: "In Europe I knew of
Jean Harlow as one of the screen's
finest artists. When I came to Holly
wood I learned she was beloved not
only as a great star but as a splendid
woman and a good friend. We shall
all miss her terribly.”
David O. Selznick: ‘ Her gay spirit,
good nature and generosity were un
equaled.”
Rochelle Hudson: “Jean was a great
actress, a beautiful woman and a
charming, trustworthy friend.”
Mary Pickford: “Jean Harlow had
a brilliant career. She lived a full and
abundant life and in my belief will
continue to do so, although invisible ;
to our mortal eyes."
Louis B. Mayer: “This is the end
ef a rich, personal friendship. This
girl, whom so many millions adored,
was one of the loveliset, sweetest per
sons I have known in 30 years of the
theatrical business. I have lost a
friend, the world has lost a ray of
•unlight.”
Senator Reynolds Grieved.
GREENSBORO. N. C, June 8 —
Senator Robert R. Reynolds, Demo
crat, of North Carolina said “I am
grieved beyond words; she was a
wonderful girl,” when told yesterday
that Jean Harlow had died.
Senator Reynolds and Miss Harlow
figured prominently in the press of
the Nation a few months ago when
he kissed the actress on the Capitol
steps in Washington.
“Her unfortunate death will be a
great loss not only to the motion
picture industry but to all those who
knew and loved her through the
medium of the motion picture thea
ter,” he said. “She was as great a
star in private life as she was among
actresses.”

* Recent Glimpses of Jean Harlow at Hollywood
Jean Harlow in the latest role
she teas taking in the unfinished
picture, “Saratoga,” when she
was fatally stricken.

at' Hollyivood on one of her last public appearances. It was
made May 23, just a week before she became ill.

At the height of her meteoric career. She was to have

the manner so familiar to the motion
picture audiences.
Co-workers of the film star recalled
incidents of her last days at the studio
where she was working in a picture
with Clark Gable. When she became ill
a week ago last Saturday, she thought
first of Powell.
“Red,” she told Director Robert
Golden, “call Bill. I’m terribly 6ick.”
Even during the last stages of her
illness, after uremic poisoning thrust
her down into unconsciousness for
long intervals, she attempted an air
of cheerfulness.
The morning of her death she re
gained her senses for a few moments.
“Where is Aunt Jetty?” she asked
weakly. “Hope she didn't walk out on
me."
Her aunt, Mrs. Jetty Chadsey, had
left the sick room for a minute.
Mrs. Bello and Miss Harlow’s step
father, Marino Bello, sought sim
plicity for the funeral, denied others
of the screen great, such as Barbara
La Marr. Wallace Reid and Rudolph
Valentino.
Private Services Tomorrow.
Her coffin will be closed tomorrow
when private services are held at the
Wee Kirk o' the Heather, In Glen
dale.
“Jean’s mother wishes it so.” said
Bello, divorced from Mrs. Bello two
years, but back at her side in common
grief. “She wants Jean to remain in
the memory of her fans as she was in
life, so the body will not lie in state.”
After the services the body will be
placed in a crypt in the Forest Lawn
Memorial Park Mausoleum pending
final interment arrangements.
The size and nature of Miss Harlow’s
estate remained a matter of conjecture.
Friends said that it would consist
largely of annuities and endowment
insurance policies. They knew noth
ing about any will.
Miss Harlow’s studio had around a
million dollars invested in her latest
co-starring picture with Clark Gable,
and it lacked only a few scenes, in
which she was needed, to be ready for
exhibition.
Her father, Dr. Montclair Carpenter,
left Kansas City by plane today for
the funeral in Los Angeles tomorrow.
He was accompanied by his second
wife.
Operation Report Denied.
Dr. E. C. Fishbaugh, who attended
Miss Harlow until the end, denied a
report today that she feared the sur
geon's knife.
"There was no operation that could
have helped her,” he said, "and she
wasn't afraid of surgery.”
Little warning had been given that
the end was near for the girl who did
her first screen work Jn 1928 and
shortly was rocketed toward stardom
as the platinum blond In “Hell's
Angels.” She left the set of “Sara
toga,” in which she was being starred
with Clark Gable, last May 29, feeling
ill.
Asked for William Powell.
She asked for William Powel, who
had been her closest friend for two
years. Her illness was first reported
as gall bladder trouble, then as a cold.
She was removed to a hospital Sun
day, without the fact becoming gen
erally known, and died there yester
day just before noon.
“Why did this have to be?” cried
Powell, who was with her at death.
"I loved her. I loved her.”
An inhalator crew was summoned
from the Fire Department yester
day morning In the attending physi
cian's last desperate effort to pro
long Miss Harlow’s life.
The firemen worked behind a closed
door. In the room with Powell were
the Bellos and an aunt of the actress,
Mrs. Jetty Chandsey.
Baxter With Powell.
Silence hung stiffly as the minutes
passed. Across the hall waited War
ner Baxter, Powell’s close friend.
Shortly before noon the door swung
open and Powell, sobbing, came out.
A physician followed and nodded
to the little group outside the door.
Miss Harlow was dead.
Powell and Baxter remained to
gether a short time until the usually
suave actor had regained his com
posure. They left by the back way.
Miss Harlow had been married
three times—to Charles McQrew,
wealthy sportsman, in 1927; Paul
Bern, 111m producer, In 1932, and Har

other marriages ended in divorce.
Whatever unhappiness may have
attended her private life, Miss Har
low preferred comedy dramas to all
other types of film stories, as witness
"Blonde Bombshell” and "Libeled
Lady.” Even after her first picture
success, she believed'she was ‘‘the
worst actress to enter films.”
Changed Color of Hair.
She changed the color of her hair
first to platinum blond, then red,
then brownette, partly to meet film
demands. She never wore a hat
except in screen roles and preferred
sports clothes and slacks.
Her popularity at the studio was
due in part to her generosity. She
would treat the entire company to
coffee and doughnuts mornings and
at the conclusion of a picture present
gifts to those who had worked with
her.
Until a year ago she lived in a
! large, white mansion in Beverly Hills.
Then she sold it and moved into a
modest home not far away, which
lacked a swimming pool or tennis
court.
Miss Harlow lived with her mother,
whose maiden name she had taken for
the screen and who usually addressed
her as ‘ baby.” Her real name was
Harlean Carpenter.
Actress Enjoyed Sports.
Miss Harlow liked pets. She en
joyed golf, horseback riding and fish
ing, and had written a film story,
“Today Is Tonight,” which was under
consideration for production at the
time of her death.
Louis B. Mayer, M-G-M executive,
said the picture "Saratoga,” in which
Miss Harlow and Clark Gable were
co-starred would be discarded, al
though it was almost finished.
Attended Birthday Ball.
Jean Harlow visited here last Jan
uary to appear at the President's
birthday ball celebrations with Rob
ert Taylor.
Smiling and always jovial, she
made many friends, including Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Chief G-man
J. Edgar Hoover and Senator Reyn
olds of North Carolina, who greeted
the screen star with a kiss.
Both Miss Harlow and Taylor were
guests of Commissioner George E.
Allen, who presented them with the
“keys” to the city. The “platinum
blond” screen star appeared here with
hennaed hair, changed to meet re
quirements of a picture in which she
was starring.
Miss Harlow made her first appear
ance in Washington at the Palace
Theater in connection with a per
sonal appearance tour in April, 1932.

Cabs

surance bill under consideration.
Jack Royer, representing the Pre
mier Cab Association, indorsed the
limitation bill after reviewing the
‘ hardships” of a taxi driver. He said
a taxi driver Is regarded as a “crim
inal.” is forced to deal with "racket
eers” becau;> he can’t get credit in
stores or loans at a bank, and that
he "works harder than the average
business man and makes less.”
Harry S. Wender, chairman of the
Safety Committee of the Federation
of Citizens’ Associations, also indorsed
the bill, but warned the Subcommit
tee of the District would be faced with
a “racket” if the number of cabs
is limited without a corresponding
reduction in the number of licensed
operators.
Others who approved the bill in
cluded Harry C. Davis, representing
the Independent Taxi Owners’ Asso
ciation, which operates the Diamond
cabs; Earl I. Klein of the City Cab
Association and E. E. Dollar of the
Industrial Brotherhood of Taxi
Drivers.
Randolph endeavored to get Davis
to comment on his proposal to in
crease taxi rates, but he sidestepped
the issue with this statement: “That’s
a dangerous subject now. It might be
a serious mistake to increase rates
at the present time.”

were reported fatigued from all-night
work adjusting 11 tons of delicate
scientific instruments to record the
celestial phenomenon during a three
minute-and-33-second period of total
ity.
“Everything is entirely up to the
gods of luck,” radioed the astronomers
as they watched Intently for a widen
ing rift in the clouds through which
they could train their telescopes and
cameras on the sun.
They said the sky at dawn seemed
to be breaking into wispy clouds
through which the scientists hoped to
obtain new knowledge of the sun's
corona—the strange light around its
edge visible during an eclipse.
The naval observers were intent on
timing the exact moment when the
rim of the moon and the rim of the
sun become one—a moment from
which day-by-day time is reckoned.
The eclipse “begins tomorrow and
ends today,” the Geographic Society
said.
The path of the shadow will strike
the earth first a little to the west of
the international dateline, thus mak
ing the eclipse first visible on Wed
nesday, June 9.
As the shadow travels eastward it
cosses the dateline, entering the part
of the world where it is Tuesday, June
8. It fades out on the same day—to
day—in Peru, at sunset.

eclipse.
The phenomenon was awaited In
California at noon (Pacific standard
time); in Amarillo and other Texas
cities between 2:30 and 3:15 p.m.,
and in Florida about 5 p.m.
Scientists calculated the sun would
be blotted out by the moon for the
longest time—seven minutes, four sec

cific more than a thousand miles east
of the Geographic-Navy station at

There a party from Franklin Insti

completion of the project at an esti
mated cost of $197,921,000.
The committee reviewed long studies
and previous reports on the canal, and
found its benefits would extend to 45
per cent of continental United States
and 74 per cent of the population.
“It is not probable,” the report
stated, “that any such distribution ol
benefits over the Nation as a whole
can be shown by any other Federal
project.”
In addition to its direct value, said
the report, there are such collateral
benefits as stimulation of trade, ex
change of commodities now withheld
because of uneconomic transportation,
safety to ships in the protected route,
and the provision of a connecting link
between the intracoastal canal systems
Deny ‘‘Theoretical” Accusation.
The majority took issue with wit
nesses who said the value was ‘‘more
theoretical than real,” and discredited
statements that ships would not use
the canal.
The committee said the Gulf traffic
was growing and would continue to
grow. It also disputed statements that
the rapidly increasing speed of ships
made the waterway impracticable.
The majority refused to agree that
the project would be in conflict wit!
a sound fiscal policy of the Federa
Government.
“In conclusion.” the report said.’
"it may be said that your committee
after an unusually extensive examina
tion of all phases of this project, con
cludes that the opposition is not wel
founded; that the project is of un
usual merit; that its economic justifi
cation is beyond question; that it!
benefits will increase with time anc
will accrue to a larger portion of oui
country and its population than those
of almost any other Federal public
work; and that its construction is
needful and in the public interest.”

Flyer Crosses Atlantic From
Brazil to Africa in 13
Hours 22 Minutes.
E; the Associated Press.
DAKAR, French Senegal, June 8 —
Amelia Earhart flew here today from
St. Louis, capital of Senegal, for an
easier take-ofl on the next leg of her
flight around the world.
Aviators here said Miss Earhart's
time of 13 hours and 22 minutes for
the 1,900 miles from Natal, Brazil, to
St. Louis, Senegal, where she landed
yesterday, apparently was a record for
the eastward South Atlantic crossing.
The westward mark of 12 hours and 5
minutes also is held by a woman,
Marvse Ba.st.ie
Miss Earhart flew through rain most
of the way across the ocean, she said.
The visibility at nightfall was bad and
her wireless worked poorly.
The slim American flyer, after her
arrival here from the Senegalese cap
ital, laid up her plane for repairs. She
said it would be tomorrow or Thursday
before she could hop off across Africa.
She planned to follow the British
route to Khartoum, in the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan, to avoid flying across
the Sahara.
MISS EARHART’S STORY.
Landed at Senegal City by Accident,
She Reveals.
BY AMELIA EARHART.
ST. LOUIS, Senagal, French West
Africa, June 7.—This evening my
Electra put her wheels down in Africa,
the third continent of this journey
around the world. That leaves two
more continents before us, Asia and
Australia.
Also, today we crossed the Equator
for the second time since leaving
home. The schedule calls for two
more crossings, beyond India, so the
equatorial score stands two up and
two to go.
Here at St. Louis are the headquar
ters of Air France for the trans
Atlantic service, and I am grateful
for the field's excellent facilities,
which have generously been placed at
my disposal. But it is only fair to say
that I really had intended to land at
Dakar, 163 miles south of St. Louis.
The fault is entirely mine.
When we first sighted the African
coast thick haze prevailed. My navi
gator, Capt. Fred Noonan, indicated
that we should turn south. Had we
done so a few minutes would have
brought us to Dakar. But a “left
turn" seemed to me more attractive,
and 50 miles of flying along the coast
brought us here.
Runs Into Head Winds.
Once arrived over the airport, and
| having definitely located ourselves, it
seemed better to sit down rather than
retrace our track along a strange coast,
with darkness imminent.
At 3:15 this morning local time
(2:13 a.m. New York time) we took
off from Parnamirio Airport at Natal,
Brazil. With a moderate fuel load we
got into the air easily.
The trip across was uneventful as
could be—just another routine cross
ing of this stretch of Atlantic which
has been flown so many, many times.
The weather was exactly as predicted
by the efficient Air France meteorolo
Ya/ASHABLE
wVindowshades

■ protram include Hartshorn

| shades made to order by the
I
gist. Throughout most of the distance
head winds prevailed. I dare say they
averaged 20 miles an hour for the first
half of the distance. Then came a
stretch of doldrums, a period of clear
skies, and then an area of low, ragged
clouds strewn all about the sky and
the heaviest rain I ever saw.
The heavens fairly opened. For
tunately, that was long after daylight.
The water splashed brown against the
glass of my cockpit windows, a soiled
emulsion mixed with the oil splashed
from the propellers.
Our flying speed seems to have been
about what I had planned. Through
out my flight, calculations have been
built on a base speed of 150 miles an
hour. Reckoning the distance covered
today as about 1,900 miles, our aver
age fell just a little short of the es
timate.
On this stretch, as on those that
have preceded, X did not at all open up
the engines. I want to treat them
gently as can be. There is plenty of
work ahead of them. When we need
to we can better our speed twenty or
more miles each hour.
ADout miaway we passed an air
France mail plane. Unfortunately I
could not "talk” to It. The mail
plane's radio equipment, I believe, i*
telegraphic code, while mine, at the
moment, is exclusive voice telephone.
As always, I broadcast my position
by voice each half hour.
Whether it was heard at all, or
understood if heard, perhaps I shall
never know.
Tonight we stay here. Tomorrow
we hop over to Dakar and there set
final plans.
Exactly what route we will try to
follow across Africa will then be
determined. Extremely hot weather,
I am told, is creating unfavorable
flying conditions in the Interior.
So far, my route has lain along
established air lanes. From Miami
to Natal I followed the regular route
of Pan American Airways. From
Natal to here we were "in the groove”
of the long-established air France
service.
If weather permits, now we turn
the nose of the Electa into region*
where planes fly frequently, but not
on schedule.
