unemployment this month as there
was last month. Above all else
this evening would impress this
upon your consciousness: the sit
uation is daily improving; many
men who have been idle are re-
turning to work and labor condi-
tons in this beloved land of ours
are bound to get better"
The stupidity of talking about the
conditions this month growing better
when the month was only four days
old when the speech was made, is
obvious AS for January, February.
and March, The figures of all the
states which have published figures,
including especially New York state,
show that unemployment increased
by two or three per cent in each OF
them, over the month before,
With this sort of attitude there
is certainly nothing to hope for
from the federal government unless
the workers by mass demonstration
force the hands of the government.
All out May First in the interna-
tional demonstration against star

Committee For Unemployment Relief
began ten days ago to discharge the
relatively small numbers they have
given temporary jobs to, and the
process continues. Friday, Miss Ella
Harris, in charge of the application
department of the family charity
agencies. stated:
I'VE are feeling the effects of this
lay-off very decidedly, and expect
that in a few days we will get the
full brunt of this program"
She did not say that the jobless
fired from even their pitifully in
adequate temporary work would get
much from the charities.
And there are tens of thousands here
who did not even get any tempo
rary work.

a charge of sleeping ON the third
floor of an abandoned house. He
explained that on such a rainy
night, the park could not be a good
place to flop in, and he saw no
harm in temporarily occupying the

How much?" asked Mr.. Brown.
"Ninety-eight dollars" said Mr.. Jen-

Brown. He dropped the receiver weari-

His secretary ventured a tleeting
thought.
But the nurseries guarantee them
to grow, don't they?" she asked.
MI. Brown gave her a murderous
look. "One more remark like that and
you won't be working here any more,
young lady," he snapped.
The Browns spent almost the entire
following Sunday admiring their tree.
They also convinced three real estate
agents that the tree justified an in
crease in the asking price of the prop
erty. The realtors agreed that a tree
such as Mr.. Browns was distinctly val
liable and would bring back its cost
several fold.
Whereupon, having worried sufi-
GENTLY about the tree and knowing
that it was tenderly clasped to ma
lures bosom, Mr.. Brown proceeded to
forget about it. At least he forgot
about it until n blustery morning
a month later when Charlie Heiser
who lived on the hill, called him on
the phone.
Hey, Mort" said Charlie. You'd
better come up here and look at your
tree"
Shiny tenacles of fear encircled Mr.
Browns vitals.

 This town has changed much in his absence, with the talkies a startling innovation, but he likes them, and is interested in the eventual introduction to Japan of Hollywood talkie methods. He is a slight, smallish man, practically as youthful in appear ance as when Hollywood last saw him. His brown eyes are serious, almost hynotic in their power to compel attention, and his sober mien is broken occasionally by a white flashing smile.
 He gestures frequently while he talks, rapidly, with an Oxford Eng fish accent. Typically Oriental, he is extremely polite but not effusive, and his quiet dignity is impressive.

Playing Around Will Be Shown for Last Times

 During the filming of Playing Around" Is girls with the most beautiful legs in Hollywood were sought only by the First National and Vitaphone Studios.
 In the picture a contest is held at the cafe where Miss White is partying with her soda jerker boy friend. The winner will be the girl with the most shapely pair of limbs. AS only the legs are shown in the scene, and the faces are hidden by curtain, the players were selected solely on the basis of their neither limbs.

 Monte Carlo" is the story of the fads and foibles of the wealthy members of royalty who spend much of their time at the gaming tables of Monaco's famous casino
 Jeanette Macdonald is seen and heard as the sweet-voiced Countess who loses heavily at roulette and decides that her only hope is mar riage with the affiuent Claude Allister, a vacuum-brained Prince of her acquaintance.
 Jack Enters on Scene
 Allister is all for the match, too, until Jack Buchanan, a glamorous- ly amorous Count enters the scene. Buchanan loves Jeanette the mo- ment he sets eyes on her, but some how he cannot effect a meeting with her. And so he bribes her personal hair dresser to leave his job. Jack takes the place of the domestic minion and handles the shears and curling iron so well that Jeanette finds him indispens- able.
 Comes the time for Jeanette to allow Allister to propose to her successfully. Jack must do some thing to prevent the match.
 Likes to Be Kissed
 In order to clear his mind he seizes Jeanette and kisses her warmly. She likes it. But he is only the hair-d dresser to her Tn the happy conclusion, however, Jack makes his true identity court for something

 This beer snomla be sold a5 2 cheap price, with no restrictions or taxes" he said. "Such beer cannot be considered intoxicating, as the experience of Sweden shows.
 After all, I have found the method which, without being pro hibition, acts strongly in favor of increased sobriety. This isn't only my impression, as the results of the Swedish system have been proved to me by figures showing that drunkenness has decreased two-t thirds since 1913"

Ego Out
 In his quiet way, one suspects, he is amused by the spectacle of Hollywood. In his philosophy the individual ego is ridiculous in the vast scheme of the universe, there fore it is fairly certain that he cannot but smile at the egomania of most of Hollywood.
