Train Realism.

p UPERT HUGHES apparently set
the fashion for Pullman romantic
joy rides in Excuse Me- Rachel
Crothers' play. "A Little Journey"
which will appear on the screen in
Washington today, goes Il step further
than Mr.. Hughes by centering all it's
action aboard the train.
A spur track laid to the Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer studios at Culver
City, outside of Los Angeles, brought
to the studio a complete train, con-
sisting OF engine, diner, baggage and
several Pullman cars, and the entire
action of the story, covering a period
of five days, takes place on it.
To make the picture realistic, regu-
lar train crews were used, even to the
stenographer attached to the trans
continental limited, and replicas of
actual scenes to be observed in the
trip across America were built and
whisked past the windows.

Miss Franklin has always been "a big
favorite over the Keith-Albee circuit,
but, like Nora Bayes, she could not
resist the engagement offered her by
Marcus Loew and as q result doubles
her salary in appearing four times

Miss Franklin has had tries at
the big revues and musical comedies,
but has fallen short at points where
her success appeared assured. TAX
ing the words of one who knows his
theater, the little lady depends en-
tirely too much on her personal
qualifications, This Snowman said:
Miss Franklin can certainly sing
songs in an original way, but she
can't write them, as she persists in
doing. Red Head and Fireman Save
My Child have been the sum total
of her successes, to my way of think
ing. If she would put the same work
into a song by Gershwin or Berlin,
Irene could knock the audience for
row Of strikes, but there is always
something lacking when she tackles

which she was star last season:

KELLOGG SENDS
TARIFF THREAT
AGAINST FRANCE
War of Duties Starts if
"AHy" Doesn't Bow

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. France
was officially informed today that the
United States stands ready to increase
import duties on French goods unless
the discrimination against American
products, under the new French tariff
schedules, is removed.
This attitude was revealed in a brief
note delivered to the French foreign
office in Paris, in reply to the French
rejection of the American proposal
for a Observation-Disclosures commercial
treaty.
II Is understood here that if the
French show desire to continue nego-
tiations over the tariff question, the
parleys likely will be in Washington
rather than in Paris, as originally
contemplated.
Only three Observation-Disclosures
treaties have actually been ratified
and that the modus vivendi arrange
ments with other countries -fourteen
in all-can be terminated on very
short notice.
The three countries with which the
United States has most-favored ma
ton agreements are Germany, Esth-
onia and Hungary. Such treaties with
Salvador end Turkey have been signed
but not ratified. The countries with
which the United States has modus
vivendi arrangements are Turkey,
Brazil, Poland, Albania, Czechoslov-
aka, Dominican Republic, Finland,
Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Latvia,
Lithuania, Nicaragua and Rumania.
The tariff war with France might
influence the twelve other countries
with which the State Department is
now negotiating for most-favored-na-
ton treaties. These are Norway,
Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Yugo-
slavia, Honduras, Brazil, Czechosloy-
aka, Poland, Finland, Latvia and
Guatemala.
1t is anticipated that the practical
ultimatum of the state department
will catch the French foreign office
at disadvantage, as the artificial
welcome of the American Legion,
necessary to French capitalists in in
ternal politics has made it difficult for
them to Immediately whip up resent
ment for U. S. imperialism. They
will simply have to pay the price, in
the opinion of state department at
taches.
