 Tt was so realistic, so brutal. one might say" declared Miss Bennett after the scene was over that I had difficulty remember iEg my lines.

Myrna, after a period of inti- macy with him, has been turned adrift, and to revenge herself. winds her skeins of allurement around the steel masters son Hardie Albright.
 T have broken hearts in all circumstances" said Myrna to a reporter the other day, "but ] always had a little help from na- ture. There were the purple hills of the West as in The Last Of The Duanes, or the desert moon as in 'Renegades,' or shaded lamps, music or ocean sunsets, but in Skyline I had to make my first impression on Hardie Albright in a bleak skeleton of chilly steel, skyscraper in the course of construction. I was very much afraid that I was go- ing to lack inspiration for the scene, but when We got up into the gaunt set, there wasn't any difference at all. In fact am Vain enough to believe that T got the benefit of contrast"
 Sam Taylor, the director of Skyline" had many of the scenes of the photoplay shot a. gainst the background of the real towers of New York, to ensure the realism he insists upon, and which has placed him among the leading directors.

day we're faced with what they be-
lieved was the torch" murder of
Ed Curtis of Los Angeles, after

That the car, relic of a decade

or gasoline before it was set afire
was held indicated by grease smears
found on the tire remanants.

The heat of the fire had almost
cremated the body.

Garner's Victory.
In California To.
Disrupt Democrats

WASHINGTON, May 4. U.Ps-
Leading house Democrats today
were in agreement that victory of
Speaker John N. Garner in the
California presidential primaries
would considerably muddy the po-
litical waters.
While none was willing to say
that Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt
of New York would be definitely
stopped" they agreed that Garner
would have definite say in the
convention.
Garner himself was reticent con-
cerning his strong showing in the
Pacific coast state.
1T looks li..s a horse race he
said when told of the returns by
the United Press. Seriously
though I'm not paying any atten-
ton to this presidential thing"
House Democratic whip Nc
Duffie, hailed the Garner victory
as "a strong showing for a man
who is not a candidate"
McDuffie, as did many other
prominent Democrats, expressed
the hope that the party convention
would not result in a disastrous
deadlock.

SENATOR PLANS
TO FILLBUSTER
ON TAX MEASURE
Thomas OF Oklahoma To
Stage Bitter Fight In
Favor Of Oil Tariff.

WASHINGTON, May. 4. UP
Plans for an unprecedented fill
buster including the offering of
1000 amendments to the pending
tax bill in an effort to compel in
clusion of an oil tariff were re-
vealed today as final effort was
made in the senate finance COM
mittee to protect variety of in
dustries.
Senator Thomas (Dem0 Okla
hona, told the United Press he
would pass the Smoot- -HaWley
tariff bill in review before the
senate" unless oil was protected
in the tax bill.
There are $4,000 tariff rates IN
the Smoot-Hawley BILL" Thomas
said. IF oil is not included in the
tax bill I shall move one by one to
reduce all protective tariffs to
levels where they will raise revenue
only but provide no protection for
the northeast.
II estimate that I will be able
to offer about 1000 amendments.
probably starting with shoes. To
dispose of so many amendments
will require about three months.
That may sound like a threat. But
1 intend to go through with it."
Representatives of lumber states
renewed the tariff fight in COM
mittee today with an invitation to
oil and coal states to join them.
Senator Jones (Rep) Washington,
said he hoped to obtain reconsid-
GRAFTON to the committees refusal
to put tariff on lumber.
The first action of the commit
tee today was to substitute a tax
of 4 cents for each $100 par value
transferred bonds. The house rate
was Is of l per cent. The commit
tee eliminated the per cent tax
on stocks loaned in market trans
actions. The tax on stock sales
was changed yesterday from Il Of
l per cent to cents.
Resumption of the tariff debate
and the committees uncertainty
regarding revenue to be expected
from the bill as now amended are
combining to delay report of the
bill to the floor. Senator Reed
(Rep0 Pennsylvania, expressed the
opinion it could not be reported
before Saturday.
