Love That Man." and was written especially for the star by Martin Broones and Arthur Freed. The song is by no means musical in- terpoIation or "theme song" but plays an important part in the moti- vation of the dramatic plot.
 Sharing leading man honors in the picturization of the stage suc- cess are Neil Hamilton and Clark Gable, the former playing the part of the travelling salesman lover and the latter cast as the devoted Salva- tion Army sweetheart of the capri- cious roadhouse singer who turns to religion to obliterate d sinful past, only to yield to temptation when the old love comes back in her life. Hamilton recently was seen opposite Norma Shearar in Strangers May Kiss" and G; ble last played in The Secret Six
 Big Names in Cast The supporting cast is one of un- usual prominence, headed by Mar- jorie Rambeau as Ruby, and includ- ing Guy Kibbee Ca member of the original stage cast as Cass Wheel CT, Cliff Edwards, Roscos karns Gertrude Short, George Cooper George F. Marion and s,ert Wood ruff.
 The production opens with a bizarre roadhouse sequence in which Joan reveals new eccentric dance as we'll as singing the original song number. The plot has a swift tempo that carries it to the travelling sales mans room in the little midwest hotel where the climax of the dra- ] matic action takes place. Several romantic love scenes be- tween Miss Crawford and Clark Gable. who has become one of the screen's most popular leading men are an attractive contrast to the straight dramatic episodes.

 ANOTHER RIOT
Soldiers Fired on Them But Few Details of the Casu- allies Have Been Given Ont
By K. D. GILMORE

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Havana, Cuba. June 9-.(UP)-A recurrence of rioting among unem- ployed in Santiago spread uneasiness through the eastern end of Cuba again to-day. p
 Hundreds of unemployed rushed through the streets last night. They sought to hold a great mass meeting
 and later to parade through the main thoroughfares of Santiago, capital of the province of that name.
 Soldiers, seeking to maintain order since the outbreak last Saturday, charged the mob. The troops opened fire when the demonstrators refused to disband. The reports gave meager details of casualties. Two men badly wounded were picked up on the streets after. the clash. % The disorders started at 10:3G last night. The unemployed gathered in Libertad Park in protest against their plight and to denounce officials for failing to give them relief. They planned to demand. aid from the civil authorities.
 The demonstrators, aroused by lagitators, became violent. They broke lights in the park and then, about | 900 strong, continued shooting out the lights in the streets as they marched along. Tie lower part of Santiago was in darkness where they passed.
 The troops then went into action They were given orders to shoot anyone not 'obeying orders to halt. They charged the parade, shooting when the rioters remained ugly. More than 300 shots were fired in the street battle which ensued. Early reports reaching Havana gave no de- tails of the casualties, but it was feared many were wounded. The troops continued to patrol Santiago. Order was reported re- stored soon after midnight. Those on the streets was questioned.
 The riots followed disturbances last Saturday outside the United States consulate at Santiago. where unemployed held demonstration. Labor unrest in the eastern end of the island has caused frequent dis orders in recent weeks.
 The unemployed demanded trans portation to Havana, but were ad- vised that conditions in the capital were just as bad as at Santiago, l a hout ROO miles east

CLARA BOW GIVES N UP STAGE CAREER
 OVER ILL HEALTH
General Manager of PrO- duction Where She Was Featured Writes Her a Most EulOgistic Letter

Hollywood. June 9.--(UP)-The long association of Clara Bow. red haired it" girl of the films, and the Paramount Public Corporation has ended. "A formal statement was is- sued last night by B. F.. Schulberg, general manager of west coast pro- duction for Paramount Public, in which he said Miss Bow had been released from her contract at her own request. Miss Bow, a Brook lyn girl who rose to position on the screen where she typified the American flapper. had been forced by i'll health to remain away from the studio for several weeks. Court appearances and an attack on her by tabloid newspaper were said to have undermined her health. In a statement issued through the studio, Miss Bow expressed qualification that the contract had been termin- ated and said that she now can face the task of regaining her health with free mind.
 Part of the letter in which Schul- berg advised Miss Bow of Para mounts decision was made public by Schulberg. It read:
 Dear Clara:
 "This ends a long and successful motion picture affiliation-one of the longest and most successful in the annals of the industry. It had it's worries and anxieties for you and ourselves, of course, from time to time, but through it all it has never been my good fortune to have anyone as sweet, as loyal, as con- scientious and as courageous to work for or with as yourself.
 While this particular chapter of your career may be said to end, hope and know that your career on the screen itself is not at an end and that you will go on from this point to greater triumphs than you ever have had, and to even more sat- isfying and happier days.
 Needless to tell you that we are all anxious to see you emerge as the greatest and most popular ac- tress in the world, and that we will do everything in our power to aid you in every direction toward that end whenever it is given us the op- portunity to do so."
 Miss Bow joined Paramount in 1925.

Seeing Reality

More than 800 years ago
Francis Bacon wrote: Without
doubt, the contemplation Of
things as they are, without
superstition or imposture, with
out error or confusion, is in
itself a nobler thing than a
whole harvest of inventions"
rhe contemplation of things
as they are is one of the rare
satisfactions of life: it is the
sign of maturity. the one great
pleasure we have in life in re-
turn for giving up the pleasures
of childish illusion; and, on the
other hand, a whole harvest of
inventions, such as we possess
more bountifully than Bacon
could ever have imagined, seems
bent on placing confusion and
impoSture between us and
actuality. I count the radio as
peculiarly guilty in this respect:
but for once. in these national
broadcastS, the radio has re-
vealed the truth instead of
concealing it. We are nation;
but we refuse to act as Une.

that today he is still eager to
convince us that the players OF
his youth were great men on
the field; that such a one should
have been manager of his team;
that another did not get the
breaks; that a third was as good
as any player in the world. NO
one has ever diSsected the mind
of the player more acutely than
he did in You Know Me, AL;
all the bunk about the giant in
