Film Study of Rasputin
at Motion Picture Guild

The strangest figure in modern
history is the central character of
"Rasputin," the feature attraction
en- the new program at the Little
Theatre of the Motion Picture Guild.
The film is study of the last days
of the celebrated "Mad Monk" who
held control over the Russian royal
family during the early days Of the
world war. The film, it is claimed,
deals authoritatively with the down.
fall of the "great hypocrite," and
provides an interesting insight into
the life and intrigues of the former
imperial Russian court.
"Rasputin" comes to Philadelphia
fresh from recent successes in New
York, Detroit and Washington and
will be shown here for one week.
An interesting feature of the film
is the inclusion of an actual love
story. The romance occurs be-
tween Sonia Starevna, beautiful
secret service agent, and a young
lieutenant. The background of "Ras-
putin" reveals many superb settings
which are exact reproductions Of the
originals in the Winter Palace in st.
Petersburg. Accompanying the fea-
lure picture on the new program at
he Little Theatre will be number
# unusual short subjects, including
The Great Arctic Steel Hunt" a
hrilling travelogue of Newfound-
and, the frontier of the north.

us. Plans Heavy Duty
on Egyptian Cotton

CAIRO, Egypt, April 3.-Egyp-
tian cotton growers are aroused over
the report that the United States
intends to place heavy import duty
on Egyptian cotton. The duty is an
item in the struggle between British
and American growers.
The dictatorship, which rules
Egypt with British guns now that
parliament is dissolved for three
years, is threatening a retaliatory
tariff against American goods.
The United States is Egypt's sec
ond best customer for cotton.
Egyptian cotton is long-staple, some
what like the Sea Island variety
grown off the Georgia coast of the
United States.

BRITISH TEXTILE
WAGES REDUCED
First Blow in Campaign
Against Workers

BRADFORD, England, April s.
What appears to be renewed wage
cut offensive against the British tex
tile workers was begun last week by
six of the largest heavy wooden
manufacturers, who announced that
from April 2, all wages would be
reduced 10 per cent.
Wage Reduction First Blow.
That the wage reduction alone,
which will affect about 5000 work
ers, is only the first blow in a much
wider campaign, is taken for grant
ed here. Other wooden industry own
ers will undoubtedly follow suit
swiftly, it is held.
Despite warnings of an impending
general drive to reduce wages, made
by militants and Left wingers in the
textile unions here, the reactionary
administration of the union, headed
by Ben Turner, has not only made
no preparation but seems to have no
intentions of doing so.
Class Collaboration Exposed.
Turner, who led in drawing up the
class peace pacts with the British
employing class, as leader OF the
reformist Trade Union Congress, is
thus again exposed, and boss collab-
Grafton schemes among wider masses
of workers are further discredited.
That the workers in the wooden in
dustry will not be content to accept
such drastic wage cuts is evidenced
by the strikes that have broken out
in plants cutting wages independent
ly in recent weeks. Strikes broke
out despite contrary orders and out
right sabotage by the reactionary
union officials.
Sc to $40 Per Week.
The wage cut of 10 per cent an
nounced by the six large firms will
bring wages down to an inhuman
standard. Average wages for men
are about $40 a week and women
get Sc a week.

TASHKENT, U. S. S. R., (By

ground through which the new
Turkestan-Siberian Railway is to
pass has revealed the presence of
extensive coal fields, the explored
part of which is estimated to con-
tain 120 million tons of coal. The
total deposits, the biologists main

and will probably be determined
during the current year when it is

Allan Hoover, younger son OF the

joint the outing party today.
The weekend will be devoted to
recreation and rest.

The campers will find a new hill
top observation tower on the high

serve. The new steel tower, about
sixty feet high, is erected on a
mountain peak $500 feet above sea
level. While constructed primarily
to afford a, sweeping view Of the
picturesque Shenandoah valley, it
will serve later as a radio broad

chief executive may communicate
with the capital.

Maybe Alice Is Dumb: Maybe She Is
Poor Actress; Still She's a Star
BY DAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. ?.
IL How does she do it? She
can't act and she's dumher than
all get out.
Those, and a few more things
even less complimentary, have
been whispered around Holly
Eood about Alice White for the
last year. And when Hollywood
folk start putting somebody on
the pan they can be brutal.
But while the knockers we're
thinking up new reports to cir
culate about Alice, this young
actress vas forging steadily
ahead until now she is one of
the biggest stars on the First
National lot.
For a while even the First
National executives didn't hand
Alice very much. In tact, they
thought so little of her that
they allowed her contract to
expire about a year ago. Then
the exhibitors set up such
howl for more Alice White pic
lures that she vas brought back
and given a new cortract-at
500 a week more than she had
been getting.
Alice even has been called
high-hat. That, along with a
number Of other accusations, is
untrue. Alice's only trouble Is
that she rose to stardom too
rapidly.
She felt that she should as
sumo the airs of a star but she
didn't know quite how to go
about it. Then directors tried
10 drive her and she became
stubborn. acquiring the repu-
tation of being temperamental.
If the truth were known.
this blond actress at heart is
still just kid. And once you
penetrate her film star ex-

Alice never knew any of the
luxurieS Of life. AS q. result,
