Thelma Todd Pays Fine on Speeding Charge

Thelma Todd, screen actress, paid $7.50 by proxy for speeding. The fine was assessed by Justice of the Peace Cecil D. Holland in the Beverly Hills Township Court and was paid by an automobile club. Miss Todd, who did not appear in court, was charged with driving her car 45 miles an hour in a 25 mile zone on Sunset Blvd. March 22.
