OAKIE'
IS SMILING,
WORKS HARD

HOLLYWOOD, 1t. 19.-Prac-
tically everything in this world Is a
game of give and take-with the
motion picture industry being no
exception. In the film racket,
those who car take a couple OF
socks on the chin and still come up
smiling are the one who get there
In the long run.
Jack Oakie comes under that
classification. The comedian gives
plenty to his profession. But he
also can take the bumps when
necessary. That's one reason you
will be seeing his name on theater
marques for some time yet.
When the talkies took their first
strong grip on Hollywood Oakie
skyrocketed. Prior to that time ne
had made a few silent films but he
didn't figure very prominently in
Hollywood's scheme OF things. How
ever, actors and especially come
dams with legitimate stage training
were at a premium in those days.
Jack not only was a good comedian
but he had fine screen personality.
The public liked him. Result-he
was made a star almost overnight.
But those who ride high some
times fall pretty hard. And If you
don't want to take ou- word for IL.
ask Jack. He'll tell you. Oakie
has had quite a lot Of trouble dur

was a mix-up with managers. Then
studio executives decided that he
wasn't pulling them in at the box
office as fast as he should. OF
course, they never dreamed that the
fault might lie with the stories
they were giving him-they never
do. All they could see was that
Jack was losing some OF his pop
ularity. So they denoted him
from a star to a supporting player.
That has happened before in
Hollywood. And almost invariably
the stars have squawked so loudly
that they could be heard almost
back to New York. But Jack took
his sock standing up. He didn't
"beef" or cry about his bad treat

Linebarger had advised the Mexican

hoped President Ortiz Rubio would issue
a stay order against the expulsion of
Chinese from Mexico.
The following message. Linebarger
said, came from the Mexican Executive:
Referring to your cablegram of yes

has happened in certain states of the
Mexican federation. These states have
only exacted from Chinese merchants
and manufacturers a compliance with
the laws of our country, especially as
regards the employment of certain

Those Chinese citizens who did not
care to accept the conditions of the law
have, however. not been expelled from
the country on that account; indeed
they have only been prevented from
continuing their business activity, and
many of them voluntarily have changed
their residences from one state to an
other where they are not molested
Therefore. repeat that the Chinese
have not been driven from our country
Linebarger said as soon as he could
obtain dispositions from Chinese who
had been expelled he would go to Mex
leo City to place them before the Presi-
dent.

that four natives be employed in GER
