MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
By MOLLIE MERRICK.

Before people learned that talk may
be interesting or that card playing Is
infinitely more diverting than the fee
BILE efforts Of ones friends. every one at
the party had to contribute to the en-
tertainment.
We had the old-time recitation; the
piano piece, with all its painful viciB-
STUDIES; the off-tenor and off-baritone-
all the boring phases of non-profes-
Sional talent.
Every one just had to do something
And that Is why the spirit Of old-fash-
Toned entertainment, dominating the
studio revue, makes It seldom good
evenings diversion.
Every staff member Of the company
Is included in the show. Some Of then,
are not equipped for revue needs. Re.
suit, bad 10 minutes for the audience
although the producer has put over his
ad in his own persistent way.
When revue makers use such talent
on the lot as are equipped for revue
stuff and go of the lot to supplement
these with people equipped to really
entertain, the revue will be less Of q
trial than it now is.

that the present separation of Ina Claire

ANSWER TO YESTERDAYS PUZZLE
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-12

HOLLYWOOD. April IL (NAN.A.)-
Arthur HammerStein, on the eve of his
departure for New York and Europe,
expresses his plans for his next talking
picture, to be made in Hollywood next
November.
Hammerstein hopes to produce fea-
ture that will run the length OF stage
that dialogue, music and entertainment
value of sound films warrant this.
Tomorrow night this producer en-
barkS on project which for the next
few months viii concern only the needs
OF the legitimate stage. His Summer
plans and early Autumn conferences
will be in preparation of this next
sound finn, which will not be begun for
the greater part of a year.
Talking films are stabilizing them
selves. A year ago no one could proph-
esy what they would be doing in eight
months time. Pictures progressed so
rapidly that those who made them were
often stunned by results. Now and
again audiences we're stunned also, but
not In the same way
It's been a surprise affair for every
one concerned.
Janet Gaynor returns to Hollywood
to be bridesmaid for her very good
friend, Irene Mayer. She returns to a
studio from which she. took French
leave when she preferred not to play a
role they had chosen for her.
Just how many antics of this sort may
be INDUCED in during the run of a film
career Is doubtful. ShenaniganS on
this particular lot have met with dras-
tic demotions in the past.
Janet Gaynor, the little exquisite of
Seventh Heaven" isn't so breath-tak-
ing when she talks. There is a ten
dency to whine monotonously, despite
the fact that her studio heralds her as
the voice with q SOUL" Her numbers
with Charles Farrell in the latest revue
could have been better without any
great stretch of the imagination.
The little Gaynor may have to stand
IN the corner with her face to the wall.
The modern studio revue as it is now
Visited on audiences assumes all the
boring features Of old-time parlor en-
tertainment.

Your petitioners, the Citizens Joint Committee on
Fiscal Relations Between the United States and the
District Of Columbia and the presidents and other rep
resentaves Of its constituent and cooperating organ
tzatons, whose names subscribed below, respect
fully represent:
The platform Of principles laid down by the joint
committee and adhered to in the committees brief in
the hearings before the joint select committee in 1915,
the House District committee in December, 1919 and
the Senate appropriations committee in April, 1920
is as follows:
We contend rst that the United States should con-
trbr largely to the expenses Of the Digtrct second,
that this contribution should be q fixed and definite
proporton third, that this proportion should be at
least one-hAh.
This platform was modified by the Districts new
organic act Of 1922, which rearmed the principle of
definite proportionate contribution by local community
and Nation toward Capital upbuildng, but changed
the hftynfty ratio to sixtyforty, imposing the sixty
per cent burden upon the local taxpayer.
The committees platform Of principles, thus mod-
fed was announced by the executive committee Of the
citizens joint committee October 81, 1928, follows:
We contend first, that the United States should con-
tribute largely to the maintenance and upbuildng of
the National Capital; second, that this contribution

PROPOSES
. Immigration PLAN
With Labor Secretary He
Says 90 Per Cent Cut Would
Aid Unemployed.

Aid for the employment situation
here could be furnished by q horizontal
cut Of 90 per cent In all immigration,
based on the national origins method
Of selection, according to Secretary Of
State stimson and Secretary Of Labor
Doak.
These recommendation were pre-
sented. yesterday to the Senate Immi-
grafton Committee considering the
Reed bill to bar all immigration, except
relatives of foreign-born American
citizens, for two years.
Effect Of Bill Analysed.
StimSon said this measure, as well as
the johnson bill now pending in the
House, would destroy" the existing
national origins selective policy by al
lowing an increasing number of rel
atives to come in from Southern Eu-
rope and fewer kin from the Northern
European countries, reversing the policy
of existing law.
Enough applications from relatives
already are on flle TO absorb existing
quotas, he said.
Doak said his department was in
Substantial agreement" with the State
Department, and thought simple and
direct" cut in immigration with equal
distribution of the slash in accordance
with the present policy would be best.
War Secretary'S View.
The War Departments opposition to
the bills also was given through Brig.
Gen. F.. L. Parker, chief Of the Bureau
Of Insular Affairs. Speaking for Sec
rotary Hurley, he voiced definite non
conclIrrence'' in the provision APPLYING
the emergency bars to FtlipiIlos. He
doubted whether this exclusion would
Compensate for the advantage of a

Stimson made IL plain he was not

policy but simply as plan which he
believed better than the proposed leg
islation.

restoring to the District this self
taxing power of which it had been
deprived. Its practical effect is to
place a maximum limit on the con-
tribution of Uncle Sam, who needs no
protection, and to remove the limit
entirely from the contribution under
cOmpulsion of the local taxpayers,
who, inpotent, desperately need pro-
lection from the unchecked exactions
OF the National partner. Some OF our
legislators at the time of the adop-
ton of the lump-Sum payment prac-
tice disavowed any intent to increase
the Districts tax burden by the change
of appropriation practice, and predict
ed that there would be no increase.
Other legislators frankly announced
that one of their purposes in chang
ing the appropriation practice pur-
pose which they predicted would be
accomplishments to enable taxing
body in which the District is not rep
den at its pleasure, unchecked by the
requirement that every such increase
shall be reflected in some measure in
National taxation for Capital upbuild-
ing. g..
Authorized by substantive law to
collect only go per cent of District
appropriations from the local tax
payers, it is now collecting IS per
cent.
The prophets of evil were the true
prophets.
The maximum National contribution
is made definite during the time In
which Congress refrains from dinin-
ishing it; but all limits are declared
of in respect to the local contribution,
and it remains definite only in the
demonstrated certainty that the local
tax burden will be largely and steadily
increased, and that the local tax
payers will not participate at any time
in the decision of the amount Of the
increase, the methods of taxation by
which the increase is secured and the
purposes for which the tax money is
spent.
X X ~
For the reasons above stated, your
petitioners earnestly urge Congress in
the pending District Of Columbia apprO7
priatiOn bill to abandon the expert
mental Iump-sum payment practice and
to return automatically in practice to
the definite proportion contribution, in
accordance with the substantive law.
