"NOW HE WILL
MAKE GOOD
New York, Dec. 15.
DORA MILES, aged 20, is speeding to Los Angeles, to-day with her sweetheart, ex-convict George Gilbert, for whom she lias waited two years.
:
Dora, when only 18, fell in love with Gilbert in California where he had a good job. He did not tell her that he had cs- caped from Norfolk Prison, Massachusetts, where he had served six years for robbery, nor that he had a wife in Boston.
A detective recognised Gilbert's photograph in a magazine, and he was taken back to prison,
Dorn got a job in a Boston night club and potitioned the State Parole Board to have mercy on the man she loved, because of his fine record before he went to prison.
When the prison gates swung open yesterday for Gilbert, the girl was waiting to embrace him, and with the money ahe had saved they took a train to Los Angeles, where Gilbert's old job is still open for him.
While he was in prison his wife got a divorce, but under the Massachusetts law he cannot remarry for two years.
But Dora says: "We have waited for more than two years George will

Only four film stars have perfect voices for talkles and only one of them is a woman..
This assertion is made by one of Hollywood's chief experis on the sub- Jeet, John Livadary, who is in charge of the sound recording at one of the biggest studios.
The four are:- Williams Powell, Jean Arthur. Bing Crosby, Clive Brook,
They have all the essential ele- ments, and their volres fall within what we call the vital range," Mr. Livadary explained.
