Film COlony's
Life Portrayed

Hollywood with the lid off-not
the sensational lid but the one that
hides the heartaches, the longing
and the humor of those who seek
fame in the movies-is the story
told in MAKE Me a Star, playing
tonight and tomorrow at Fox I'M
perial Airdome.
Stuart Erwin is cast as the small
town boy burning with ambition to
be a movie star and living as the
goat" of the towns wise folks.
When he loses his job he goes
to Hollywood, and there finds there
is no such word as welcome" on
the mats. Through the kindness of
an extra" he gets chance in
the movies and is terrible when he
tries to act. though the director sees
humor in the yoKeps efforts TO be
serious, and success comes eventu-
ally.
Make Me a Star" has a distinct
ly human appeal, for there are few
among picture patrons who would
not like to crash Hollywood's gates,
and their sympathies are bound to
be with Erwin in his struggles.
Comedy has net been forgotten.
Not with a supporting cast that in
cludes Joan Blondell, Zasu Pitts,
Ben Turpin (Ben HIMSELF, Sam
Hardy, Oscar APPEL, Helen Jerome
Eddy and others.

COMPROMISE ON
PROPOSED SLASH
In STATE WAGES

SACRAMENTO, July Is. U.P-A
sliding scale of pay reductions for
California state employees went
into effect today in place of the
five-day week ordered Dy Governor
Rolph, effective July l.
The compromise plan was ac-
cepted after a thorough discussion
was had by Governor Rolph, the
other elective officials of state gov
ernment and representatives of the
State Employees association.
A saving of approximately $780,
900 year will result from the new
wage cut. To avoid legal restric-
tions as to transferring money from
one fund to another, and as to con-
stitutional and statutory salaries,
the reductions will be made on a
voluntary basis. -
In other words, each employee
will contribute portion of his pay
each month, ranging from l per
cent on the first $50 of income
to 25 per cent on incomes of more
than $3.50 a month. In this way
salary scales will be maintained,
and all savings will go to the
states general fund in order to
balance the next budget.
Attorney General U. S. Webb
scored the state legislature for Its
philanthropy" in boosting state
salaries. and declared the law
makers should give serious con-
to equalizing salaries at
their 1882 session. M

VETERANS SPEND
NIGHT ON LAWN
AT WASHINGTON
Bonus Army Maintains
Position On Grounds
About Capitol.

WASHINGTON, July IS. U.P)-
The siege of the United States cap
itol by veterans determined to BIZ
vouack on the capitol grounds un-
til congress adjourns was strength
ened today by reinforcements from
the main camp of the bonus expe-
dictionary force.
Several hundred veterans from
from Oregon, headed by a bugle
and drum corps and marching
briskly, moved into the capitol area
as meager breakfast of weak
coffee. bread and 'hot dogs" was
ladled out to the 700 men who had
spent the night on the pavementS
and lawns about the capitol build
ing
The capitols sprinkler system
was put in operation early and the
men who had slept on the lawns
were forced to retire to the pave
mentS of the street between the
capitol and the library of congress.
The veterans were warned in ad-
vance so none of them was drenched
as the sprinklers watered the broad
lawn in the rear of the capitol.
The breakfast, which appeared to
be far short of the quantity neces-
sary to feed all the, men on the
capitol grounds, was brought up
from the downtown camp of the
California contingent. 1t was
handed out as the men stood quiet
ly in line. More food was due later
for the Oregon men.
Urban Ledoux, the famous "Mr.
Zero" of Manhattan breadlines, told
the veterans he had obtained IT,
100 pounds of beans. He said
$1,000 pounds additional had been
arranged for and we're on the way
from New York by truck, accom-
panied by a guard of Michigan vet
erans Ito keep them from being
hi-jacked by our enemies
Predicts Success
Standing coatless on the basin
of an ornate but dry fountain,
shaking his long gray hair and
mopping his florid face Mr.. Zero
implored the men to stay in their
capitol camp.
Success is just about here" he
shouted. You felt it in the grass
last night. and you felt it in the
stone steps yesterday. Keep it up
and you'll get your bonus"
Roy Petrie, red headed marine
commanding the Oregon division,
which joined the California army
yesterday and rejoined today after
a night at their barracks, said:
"Our idea is peaceful rebellion
to prevent a bloody revolution.
Those fellows in congress there
have never been among men who
are hungry. If they had, they
would see our point"
Petrie told his men the mess
bugle would be assembly call.
There might not be any food,
but come around when you hear it,
he said.

GOVERNOR POLLS
LEGISLATURE ON
WATER QUESTION

SACRAMENTO, July 13. UP)-
Members Of the California state
legislature were being polled by
Governor Rolph today to deter
mine their attitude on the proposed
special session to put in effect a
statewide water development pro-
gram.
TelegramS were sent to the SO
assemblymen and 40 senators ask
ing an immediate replay to the
following question:
will you support any or all
three of these proposals:
81. A constitutional amendment
providing general authority for the
water program.
80. A statute creating a perma-
nent water commission 40 admins
ter the plan.
"3. A bond act providing $780,
100000 for the central valley unit
of the water program
Although the governor insisted
there was no change in his desire
to call a special session on water.
he said if a majority of replies
were opposed to one or more of
the measures to be proposed it was
unlikely they would be included
in the call.
In case a bond issue. is to be
considered at such a session, it
would have to be held prior to
August 9, the governor was in
formed by Deputy Secretary of
State Charles j. Hagerty.
Rolph expressed doubt that this
could be accomplished on account
of the Olympic games, Shrine con-
vention and other affairs that
might prevent a quorum.
