McIntyre's s $4,000

Once upon a time, in fact
when The Washington Herald
had headquarters on Eleventh
Street, the daily writings of O..
o. Mcintyre were delivered to
the copy desk, postage paid, and
cost exactly nothing. When the
Ohio boy, who was trying to
make good in the big city, de-
cided to charge SO a week for his
scribbling, Treasurer Reisling was
instructed not to pay the bill.
So Columnist Mcintyre was
dropped from Washington's favo-
rite breakfast table journal. But
not for long. Disappointed sub
scribers compelled his reinState-
ment and soon o. o. was draw
ing SIS week.
All this is preliminary to an
nouncing that Variety reports Mr..
Mcintyre will get $4,000 for a
15-minute broadcast to be de-
livered once a week. The con-
tract is for 13 weeks and speci-
fies he will not have to utter
any advertising plugs. The Nc
1ntryre column now runs in 400
daily newspapers.
How does this happen to get
in a theater column? Well, he
used to be Ziegfeld's personal
press agent. And Monta Bell,
motion picture director, was the
director who convinced a pub

These Are Best

This new book, Name Your
Ten" has got everybody doing
it. That is naming the ten
greatest. AS I look back over
1,001 features I have scanned
since the screen began to chatter,
these come readily to mind as
the 10 greatest performances:
Bessie Love in Broadway
Melody"
Ruth Chatterton in Ma
dame X"
Walter Huston in "The Crimi-
nal Code"
Marie Dressler in Anna Chris
tie"
Greta Garbo in Romance"
Wallace Beery in THE Big
House."
George Arliss in "Disraeli."
Edward G. Robinson in Little
Caesar"
James Cagney in "The Public
Enemy"
Lionel Barrymore in "A Free
Soul"
This leaves out a. lot Of fine
actors, including few who got
medals, and Jackie Cooper as
"Skippy." Before the arguments
begin might confess that to me
Walter Huston is the screens
first actor. Perhaps you have a
better list. If you have send it in.

the most of the situation. He
pointed out that his client had
not been properly identified
with the crime and he pleaded
with the jury not to send a
man away for a term of years
when there was no positive as
i'urance that he had been COLI
1ected with the misdeed.
'"The prosecuting attorney, OF
course, argued just as Strenu-
ously in the opposite direction.
He pointed to the fact that
Eddie had a previous conVic'
tion for burglary and he in
sisted that the witnesses had
been strong enough in their
identificationS as to leave little
room for doubt. He demanded

"Eddie's lawyer failed to put
him on the stand. Instead, he
capitalized on the fact.
"'You have undoubtedly no

up, that I did not place my
client on the stand. I did that
for the simple reason that 1
did not deem it necessary.
Why subject him to an ordeal

Exonerates Pal
"The following morning,
George went on trial for the

ness for the defense-and the
only witness-waS Eddie, the
man who had been acquitted
the previous day.
Smiling at the jury, the ac-
quilted man told straightfor-
ward story that completely
exonerated his pal. In other
words, he confessed to the
burglary and stated that George
had had absolutely nothing to
do with it. And all this, mind
you, after he had been found
not guilty.
"The prosecuting attorney
went into a rage. He cried
loudly that justice was being
tricked, and that such goingS-
on were an insult to a digni-
fled court of law He made
dire threats about the conSe
quences of perjury and stated
bombastically that Eddie was
lying to save George. He grew
so excited, in fact, that he was
cautioned by the judge.

"He could have been more
calm and saved himself plenty
of trouble. His wild state
ments must have hindered
more than they helped for,
when the case went to the jury,
they accepted Eddie's testimony
without much hesitation.
George, too, was acquitted of
the burglary. And since no
man can be tried twice for the
same crime, the district at
torney was powerless to act on
Eddie's confession.
