 MAYOR IS
 RECALLED

New York, June 10-Chinatown's s mayor is out of a job. Charley Bos- ton, for six years unofficial burgomas- ter of the strange polygon bounded by Doyers and Peu streets and Park Row, has been recalled. And all on account of the liberation of China
 When China recently underwent a new birth of freed om the local Chi nese decided, in their patriotic fer vor, to forget Iichee nuts and chick en chow mein, and to hold a state banquet. With the great seal of Charley Bostons approval on the pro- iect the Liberty RsstauraLt, chop suey joint de luxe, was engaged for the function and five slick young Ce- lestials, homestCk for Canton and Tsien Tsin, collected the modest sum of $50 per plate from 200 scompa- triots eager for feast of sheep's eyes and birds nest soup- Whereupon they decamped to China with the pro- ceeds and tho banquet didn't come off
 And when his frabe -constatuents'' demanded an explanation the may or'' could make no answer but search me- or it's Chinese equiva- lent
 Indignation waxed high, meetings were held and Charley Boston return ed to private life So low is his estate that he didn't even go on the Bear Mountain. He couldn't be in closer retirement if he had been mentioned in a divorce case
 Ten years ago such an occurrence would have started a bloody Tong war. Today nothing but loud words comes of it, and the barter of Chi nese merchandiDe goes on unabated while tourists Srom the h5ther side of the A1leghanfes continue to fatten the purses of the curfo dealers.
 They're too busy selling souvenirs and making money to be bothered, declared Acting Detective Sergeant Snydecker, of tf4e Chinatown precinct fsThe biggest thSill a Chinaman gets nowadays is when his little girl comes home from school with three As on her card.

MOVIES START
 SOCIAL WAR

London, June Shakespeare has nothing on Charlie Chaplin.
 Or. perhaps he has He's more vulgar
 Norman Wilkinson says so. Nor man isn't a movie producer, pro- moter. scenario writer. or anything like it. Except that, in a. fractional way of speaking, he's about to be an exhibitor.
 Norman Wilkinson might even be rated with the high-brows. He de Granville Barkers Shak pearian pro- duGions Moreover he's one of the governors of the Shakespeare Memo rial Hall at Stratford-on-Avon-
 Whence all the trouble starts.
 The Memorial Hall doesn't make it's way It isn't endowed So, for gross monetary reasons, it was decided, be- tween annual festivals to the immortal bard, to turn his memorial into movie show.
 What howl among the high-brows that started! Twas rank sacri1ege, vulgar cOmmercialisIn, uI1thinkable> incredible, impossible, and any num- Der of other things, all interrupted freely by exclamation points. Un- numbered letters to the editor were written and printed about it
 Naturally, Charlie Chaplin was freely used in a more or less unf1at- tering manner for purpose or argu- ment- One gathered that the Bard of Avon would turn in his grave, rise and haunt the lives of the Goveronrs on and forever after that great first night when Charities eccentric Tous- CTS invaded the sacred precincts of Memorial Hall
 One gathers also that Norman W1l- kinSon got rather fed-up with those attackers who used Charlie as ammu- nition- He losses Charles back again into the very teeth of his form entorS-
 Sec Shakespeare for Vulg1irity.
 For he cites his reasons for voting for the Movie-on-Avon proposal thus:
 'T canont see anything vulgar in a even when it moves There are dozens of photographs in the Memorial Theatre already.
 Having been q patron of Snake speare Festivals for a consecutive A years I have seen performances of The Tanning of the Shrew, The Merry Wives of Windsor and other of Charlie Chaplin film seem innocent and beautiful-which it is.
 ''The Memorial is a biggish build ing, and unless the Government or the British public care to endow it the governors have to devise a means to have it scrubbed and dusted-
 Lastly, may I say, here is a fine which those who have the trust of this theatre in their hands have given-who is going to be the Shakespeare of the Movies? is the time for someone to come for ward and give a festival film"
 But that wasn't Hastily though 1t was, perhaps, the end of what he first intended to say. He added a whip snapper for the hagg1ing high-brows:
 And if it is a question of Vulgarlty I must only say, read Shakespeare-'
