WALKERS WARNING

1t is common knowledge in Washing

the cinema industry, yearns for political
connections and preferment. To Mayor
Walker of New York City it was sur
prising", however, when ne learned that
Joseph NJ Schenck, husband of Cinema
actress Norma Iaimadge and president
of United Artists Corp was a delegate to
the Republican National Convention. a
Hooverite Vice President Louis B. Mayer
otiMetro GoidWyn Mayer Corp was there
too.
Mayor Walker, touring the West in the
interests of the Brown Derby, visited
Holly wood last week. Abruptly, unex-
pectedIy, he took the Messrs. Schenck
ana Mayer, though not by name, as the
text for a sermon to the cinema industry.
He warned it to be non partisan. He re-
minded it that pubic officials such as
himself had power over Sunday theatre
laws, for example. He said he hoped
that ciuemen are not so enslaved that
they can be handed over" by two or
three leaders 10 the industry. He warn
ed that should the industry 'dabble in
politics" and choose the losing side 1t
would be "crushed''.
The cinema industry was astOnished.
