OF TARIFF
BILL UNCERTAIN
Both Factions Confident
As Victory Hangs
On Two Votes

WASHINGTON. June 2.-P-
Both sponsors and opponents of
the Smooth-Hawley tariff bill today
claimed enough votes for victory as
the Senate made ready for debate
leading to approval or rejection OF
the measure.
The fate of the bill, now nearly
a year and a half in preparation,
hung upon the votes-these to come
on the two sections Of the con-
ference report. The first to be voted
upon, either late this week or early
next, embodied the highly disputed
flexible clauses. and the second,
the rate schedules.
Chairman Smoot Of the finance
committee expected to call the
measure up for discussion late
today or early tomorrow, depend
ing upon the time consumed by the
debate on whether the Senate
should override President Hoover's
veto Of the Spanish war pensions
bill.

Returned TO Conference

The principal provision in dis
pute was the new compromise on
emergency changes in the customs
rates. Originally, the Senate and
house c~onferees agreed upon an
arrangement under which tariff
commission would recommend in
creaseS or decrease, to become eff
fective after sixty days unless
-disapproved or made operative
sooner by the President.
A point or order was raised
against this agreement by Senator
Barley, Democrat Kentucky,
upon the ground that it embodied
language used neither in the Senate
norh ouse bills. This was sustained
by Vice-President Curtis. and the
measure was returned to confer
ence.

to those fortunate ones it was
inevitable that Marcel Pagnol
should conceive 'MarseiIles. {"
For they know that Marcel
Pagnol is "MariuS." It Is from
the memory of his own sea-gazing
adolescence that he has drawn
the portrait of the lad who has
held a tickle Partisan public
spellbound. for more than a year.
Like Marius, Pagnol haunted the
quays of MarSeilles, where he
lived with his School-teacher
father and, like MariuS, he too
bought the strange breadfruit

with the vendors and longed to
escape the provincial boundaries

MAKE
NEW STUFF
ANCIENT

Did you ever think of giving q
house a fresh coat Of paint SO it
would look old?
To the layman, the painting Of
a structure invariably means the
iYnparting Of q quality of new
ness and freshness, and the con-
cealment of any impression Of
age. But not so IN the realm Of
the motion picture! The rise of
the film industry has brought
about the creation Of a new
school of daubing, and the com.
mon or garden variety Of house
painter has been superseded by
strange tricks with his brushes
and with compressed air.
Often q "set" erected for q mo-
ton picture must have the zap
pearnace Of age, even though it
has Just been completed by the
studio carpentering force, and
this new type Of painter can &C.
compliSh an effect Of newnesS or
more -or-less extreme age with
equal ease MUCH Oh ms WORK,
as has been indicated, is done
with an air brush. with which he
Dcounterfeits the streakS and dis
colorationS which come with
neglect.
An instance of this new art is
seen in "The Cat Creeps," the
Universal mystery drama now
playing at the Rialto Thaeter.
The action Of the story takes
place in a mansion which has not
been occupied for 20 years-and
the place looks it! Yet it was
completed less than a week before
the picture was produced.

HOW WHOOPEE
CAME~INT TO.
LANGUAGE

Believe it or not the word
"Whoopee" which Is the title OF
the Samuel Goldwyn-Flore zieg-
field production now In It's sec.
ond week at Loew's Columbia Is
hundreds Of years old instead Of
being the newest Of modern slang.
Acco- ding to DR.. Frank VIII
telly, editor Of the New Standard
Dictionary, "Whoopee" was used
by Shakespeare and has always
been an exclamation showing ex-
element and urging others to
cut loose and have q good time.
He says that the word first came
to New York from the West
where it had always been part Of
the famous cowboy yells. =
Appropriately enough "Whoo-
pee" is laid in the wild west and Is
full Of cowboys, lariats, terfgallon
hats, pinto ponies and ass. It's
opening scene shows cowboys and
their girl friends galioping madly
along in q cloud Of dust, yipping
out the cowboy yen which was
the ancestor Of the pictures title.
When the word got to New
York, it became part OF the
famous phrase, making whoopee," I"
which isgthe title Of one of Eddie
Cantor's songs in the picture,
taken over from the stage YER
sion, Of ':Whoopee." Nobody
knows who. first invented the
phrase, although Walter Winchell
insists that, whoever invented it,
he was the man who made It
popular as it was and is. MAX

thing that was never described
before, and so it become part Of
