PRIESTS DRILL
WITH RIFLES
Clergy Pledge* Support To
Selassie In Battle
With Italy
ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 31. (AV
Twenty thousand Ethiopian priests
notified Emperor Haile Selassie
Saturday of their willingness to
battle beside regular warriors to
resist any invading legions from
Italy.
Throughout the nation, even from
the most remote districts, the clergy
was reported rallying to the em
iperor's support and exhorting his
subjects to Join a “crusade’' to re
pulse an attack not only against
the kingdom but also against the
church.
The first evidence of this backing
was seen in the streets of the cap
ilral Saturday with scores of priests,
wearing' conical hats, drilling with
rifles outside the cathedral.
The emperor announced plans to
use six powerful, American planes as
Red Cross transport shij* to carry’
wounded men. medical supplies and
I doctors.
The planes, capable of making a
speed of 200 miles an hour, were
gift to the emperor from Egyptians
of all creeds. They were acquired
through Francis M. Ricket. British
promoter, who negotiated with the
emperor for economic concessions.
Rickett presented the planes on
behalf of the Egyptians.
The donors Intended originally to
give 20 ambulances, but the moun
tainous character of Ethiopia caus
ed them to decide that motor am
bulances would be usel^s except In
a limited area.

Lai * was vice-president of the old
Famous Players-Lasky company.
Miss Pickford, golden curled, had
not yet become ' America's sweet
heart."
"I j first Job was to find a story
for her." the producer said Satur
day. “I*ve guessed wrong many
times in my life—but never more
badlv than I did with that assign
ment."
Lasky said a warm personal
friendship arose between himself
and Mary and the determination
grew,.in his mind, to use every re
source of the company to further
her career
"I picked a.story for her called
"Less Than the Dust,’" he said.
"Even in those days, stars some
times had a voice in the selection
of their stories. Without making
an issue of it. she told me she didn't I
see that script as a suitable story i
for her. I convinoed her she was
wrong and so we made the picture." |
The picture, he said, was a colos
sal failure.
"It failed so terribly," Lasky said,
"we were afraid, for a time, we1
had killed Mary's chances on the
screen. By that time, all of us
were convinced of her enormous
potentialities. So. of course, the
thought that we might have nipped
them in the bud, with this first
picture, was a real tragedy to us.
"The responsibility lay entirely
on my shoulders.
"So I went to her and said. 'Mary.
I’ll never be satisfied until I make
that up to you.”
Lasky never produced another of
her pictures. Other men in the
company supervised and produced
them.
Later. Las icy became the head of
Paramount then a unit producer
at Fox. Miss Pick ford organized a
unit in United Artists.
Twenty years later they are to
gether again as president and vice
president respectively, of the same
company.
‘•It’s a long time to wait," Lasky
said. “But Ive finally got the
chance to make it up to her for
nearly wrecking her career in
1915."
