Senate Resumes Work On Tariff
 With Attention Turned to Rates;
 King Begins Debate On Chemicals
Session Opens Promptly Despite Downpour of Rain Long Discussions to Be Avoided In Effort
 to Speed Bill On Way.

Washington, Oct. 22 C19-Despite a doWnpour that drenchcd Washing ton as it went to work, the senate assembled promptly at 10 a. m. to- day and for the first time took up consideration of the proposed in- creases in tariff rates on various ar ticles.
 Touching as they do many phases of industry, the controversy over these duties threatened at the out set to expand to greater propOr tions than that which has developed over the administrative features. in cluding the disputed flexible provi- sion. Only six weeks are left if the row over rates is to be finished at the special session and administra- tion leaders have decided wherever possible to reach agreement with out debate.
 Chemicals Considered
 The first schedule up today was that embracing chemicals, oils and paints-onc of the industrial groups. More than 100 changes, including both increases and decreases. have been proposed in this schedule by the house and the senate finance committee
 Committee amendments had first consideration, then individual amendments.
 Senator King of Utah, ranking minority member of the finance sub committee on chemicals, was in charge of the debate for the oppO- stion. while Chairman Smoot, head ed the regular republican forces.
 One of the principal contests over this schedule is expected on dye stuffs one of the few commodities in the present law on which Ameri- can valuation bases are used for as- scssing ad valorcm rates.
 Tho first committee rate amend ment called up by Smoot proposed elimination of the house increase oi one cent a pound in the r cent duty on citric acid.
 King Begins Address
 King then began an address touching on international trade ana asked that senators bear in mind a recent quotation of Assistant Sec rotary Klein of tha commerce de partment that in fabricated products the United States could undcrscI her rivals in the markets of tho world.
 Before the debate terminates King asserted, the ''folly" of tariff revision on scores of commoditie. would be shown. Included in thi: category, he added, were brick, cot ton, yarn, shoes, cotton with rayo1 content, and other goods.
 He argued that the best customer: of the United States had both tn, temper and disposition to boycot our goods"
 Argentina, he added, bought St79. 0o0, 900 worth of gods from tn can purchases there were but $99. 000,000 Yet, he said, duties on Ar sentinc products, including flax seed corn, and hides either had been rais cd or would be increased or takel from the free list.

Hope to Break Condition

Hope to Break Condition
 Washington. Oct, 22 tPl-In the face of renewed declarations of the steadfast purpose of the senate's democratic Independent republican coalition, administration leaders to- day began a vigilant and hopeful watch for indications of any break in the ranks of the alliance due to the rate schedules of the tariff bill. These schedules today were the offi- cial and unfinished business of the senate, with but six weeks of the special session left for their consid- eration.
 The coalition is determined that the rates shall be so revised as to accord to agriculture the extent of protection which it believes is nec- csaary Borah of Idaho, a leader of the independents, is on record with a statement that this will be done, if not at the special session, then certain at the regular session, re- gardleSs of the attitude of President Hoover toward prolonging the tariff debate.
 The republican regulars foresce, however, a disintcgration of the coalition with the controversies of the rate schedules and their highly disputed features. They look for ward to the sugar schedule as one of the rocks upon which the alliance must split.
 i Group is Confident 1 The confidence of the leaders of the mocratic-insurgent republican group that they can hold their lines together through the impending controversies, was the basis of thell refusal G4 to 10 to support Q mo- tion. brought to vote late ycster- day. under which the tariff bill would have been given back to the committee with instructions tha' rate changes be restricted to tho agricultural section.
 Senator Robinson Of Arkansas the democratic leader, took the DO sitton. that it was best to go ahea/ with the bill and find out what is sues must be settled. The coalition he asserted, has demonstrated tha the power exists here to make thu rates reflect the majority senti mcnt of the people"
 Show Control of Situation
 Likewise, Simmons of North Car olina, minority leader of the tinanc committee, said the opponents o the house bill had shown thci "control of tho situation" and th1 the debate should proceed and Zen tighten the country as to the bur .dcns of taxation about to bc impos
 ed upon it." A similar attitude wa
 expressed by Norris of Nebraska, leader of the Independents.

 was the author, was defeated scv

PERFECT FIND IN
 FEATURE, COLISEUM

Sharon lynn, beauteous Fox Films player who appears in one of the principal roles in "Speakeasy," Fox Movietone adaptation of the celebrated stage success, now on the Coliseum screen, is a perfect find" for sound pictures. In ad- dition to knowing how to speak lines, Miss Lynn also is an ac- complished pianist and vocalist.
 Her interpretation of the role of a speakeasy habitue required actual demonstration of both talents with the result that great deal of sparkle and life was attained which otherwise would have been lacking.
 Lola Lane and Paul Page, two of Broadway's best known stage luminaries, appear in the leading roles with Henry B. Walthall, Helen Ware. Warren Hymer and others. It is an all-talkie.

 Again-a titan-haired girl named Valda West, who strikes one as a blond Anita Stewart, recently shar- ed an apartment with Jeanne Butt ner, brunette Bessie Love, and Cortez Alley. who has stood in" for Irene Bordoni.
 And the movie choruses are filled with girls whose friends in all truth can tell them they look like" vari- ous stars. Irene Thompson, con- tract chorus girl, often is pointed out as Billie Dove, and Rosita For shay, New York chorus girl gone movie. resembles Dolores Costello.
 Beatrice Lille is a famous star Of the stage ana more recently the screen, but Josephine Bernhardt, a double of her, still steps in the chorus.
 Carmel Myers gets featured bil- ling with Jewel Richford, who pho- tcgraphs enough like her to be her sister, works beside Josephine, along with Ruth Metzger, who looks like Mary Astor, and Jean Morgan, who even has Betty Compson's famous crooked smile.
 Carlotta King became known to the fans as the singing lead in "The Desert Song" which won her long-term contract, bit Janet Chandler, almost her duplicate, has only a chorus contract. Fannie Brice, too, is a household name now, but you probably never heard Of Bee Lee, another of the stopper kickers, who is just a shade pret- tier than Fannie.
 So they pass in review, these humber movie workers, with their physical charms rivaling those of the stars. There are scores Of them. Did the stars simply get started first? Or do their doubles lack the fire, the personality,-or the all-important voice, -whi c Il would raise them from the ranks? There's a riddle.

HOLLYWOOD.-"Even a cat may look at a king :"
 And there being as yet no law against an extras looking like a movie queen, many of them do.
 The studios, the streets of Holly wood are decorated by scores of girls who, so far as facial appear ance is concerned, might pass easi- ly for those glittering screen celeb rites whose looks are the envy Of girls all over the world.
 And all, or most, of these doubles are mere extras or chorus girls, many of them seen in more pie lures than the stars they resemble, but unknown to movie fans.
 Hollywood's most famous double which does not in the instances here cited mean that the double substitutes for the star in her peril ous movie exploits-is Geraldine DeVorak.
 Geraldine as one wag puts it, is more like Greta Garbo than Garbo herself. An extra, she has served as "stand-in girl" for Greta, and recently received wide publicity be- cause fan magazine described the manner in which she had adopted all the mannerisms of the star, inn itating Garbos clothes, her walk, her expressions. For that reason, Geraldine stands foremost in the list of star duplicates, but there are others
 On single set of "The Vaga- bond King" for instance, one day could be seen Jean Douglas, an ex- tra who becomes a "deadringer" for Pauline Starke with the aid of brown wig, and Thora Waverly, who is frequently mistaken for Myrna Loy.
 With these two were Cecile Cameron, girl whose resemblance to Gloria Swanson, from certain angles, is pronounced; Rae Murray, reminiscent of Alice Terry, and two others who bear much likeness to Anita Page and Virginia Lee Cor bin. But it avails them naught in
