AUBURN PRISON AGAIN
 SCENE OF BLOODY, MUTTNY

AUBURN, x. y.-For the second time within six months g desperate group of long-term conyicts in the Auburn state prison mutinied and spread death and terror throughout the prison, shooting down the prin- cipal keeper and seizing the warden and seveen guards, who were held as hostages for the safe conduct of the conyicts to freedom.
 Armed with guns smuggled into the prison from outside its walls, ap- proximately fifteen hundred convicts participated in the revolt, which was under the leadership of a dozen des- perate long-termers.
 A call for assistance brought na- tionai guardsmen and state troopers to the prison, and the walls were en- tirely surrounded with men armed with loaded guns. The front gate of the prison was ordered opened and word sent to the convicts to He out, with a thousand men prepared to stage battle should the conyicts ro- fuse.
 The order was coomplied with by most of the prisoners, and within four hours Warden Jennings and all seven of the guards were snatched to safe ty by state troopers operating behind barrage of tear guns.
 Three convicts, including the spokesman of the mutineers, were slain, while the remaining members of the little group of desperadoes re- main barricaded in the back hall of the prisdp.
 The known dead are George A. Durnford, principal keeper, who was shot at the outbreak; Harry Sullivan, leader of the mutineers, and two uni, identified convicts.
 Three guards were wounued in the exchange of shots, one of whom is probably fatally shot.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MoLLIE MERRICK.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December /
(N.A.N.A.).-Two things seem to be
worrying the Hollywooden heads plenty
these days:
What is to become of the authors who
have thrived these past years on gener-
Gus studio salaries and have been given
contracts of a year or more?
And how is the local version of the
Hollywood play, "Once in a Lifetime" /"
70 be cast?
The first problem is the more serious
Some time ago moguls got together in
that slick little way that they have and
decided that the writing boys and girls
who had been rolling up incomes which
warranted foreign cars and swimming
pools were saving their best efforts for
themselves.
Occasionally play drifted out of the
village and made good on the main
street of old New York, and a book or
two was ground out. AS matter of fact,
precious little was done, seein~ what a
tremendous amount of the worlds lit
erary talent is gathered together in
cinema's name. But what did make
good seemed sort of treachery de luxe
to the gelatin barons. Any and all ideas
belonged to them. They were paying
enough money to warrant it.
So they put the writers on a six
weeks schedule-most of them; there
were some with fat contracts to run out.
s Bess Meredith, for instance, has been
one of the highest paid women in
cinematics, and has been retained by
the year. The same is true of Frances
Marion.
One hears conflicting reports of the
Marion situation. The story prevalent
among writer's today credits her with
being put on the new schedule at ex-
piratioh of her contract, some weeks
ago Another rumor says that she will
& get newer, longer and better contract
. In every way shortly.
If she does, she's a big exception to
what is happening t. writing folk in
this here village.
Sid Grammar. staging the local ver-
sion Of "Once in a Lifetime" Is ION the
spot" In one way.
Try and do justice to the play and
do justice to the tender feelings of the
ge.atin hierarchy One of the most
powerful of the motion picture heads
yawned widely when the play was dis
cussed recently, and said:
Evening star., 1930-12-01

r:There are only two smiles in IT.
one when George Kaufman makes his
famous wash-room joke, and the other
when the archbishop in the movie we'd
ding scene asks for an Aqua Caliente
racing form. The rest is not only hooey
but boring hooey."
Moss Hart, the youth who had the
original idea about the play, which
George Kaufman later whipped in true
fire shape, will be out here to stage the
play with Grammar.
This should be the finest cast obtain
able, because we are on the ground
And Moss Hart will play the role which
George Kaufman tmmortalized in New
York this Winter-the disgruntled play
wright who waited three weeks to see
the famous movie producer.
While jobs are scarcer than hens
teeth, there is a sort of slant-eyed nerv-
BUSINESS about taking one of the roles
in the ironic laugh on this village. It
might swing one into the big money;
then, again, one might play 1t too well
and be identified with the sting!
Sid Grammar isn't bothered!

Stimson Saving His Face

: Speaking from London. Henry l. Stimson. secre-
tary OF state in the cabinet Of President Hoover and
the head Of the American delegation. told a world
wide radio audience I'VE have reached the lowest level
that I have ever heard seriously discussed before"
Secretary Stimson Is a clever politician. He is
saving the face Of the administration and the Ameri-
can delegation. There is a three power pact. Great
Britain and Japan and the United States made the
pact. France and italy refused to join in the ALI
snce. Delegates from France stood by their guns.
Delegates from the Roman empire Of Mussolini fought
the battle to q finish with their backs 70 the wall.
It is well for an individual to save his face. It is
well for a nation to save its face. Now the three
power alliance pact viii be submitted to the American
senate, and submission will lead 10 more talk. Presi-
dent Hoover says it viii result in a saving Of a BIZ
lion dollars. How will that be possible? His billion
dollars haven't been spent; it hasn't been placed IN
the American treasury. Is is in the pockets OF the
people? II it is. it will be removed from their peck
cts and spent elsewhere or for another prpose.
