Satire

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Nov. IS.
When Jesse Lasky starts 'The
Warriors Husband for Fox it
looks as If Katharine Hepburn
and Ernest Truck win step before
the camera as the amazon and
the henpicked lover.
The deal is signed and sealed
as far as Truck is concerned, and
Fox seems optimistic of being able
to borrow the new R-K-O sensa-
ton to portray the role she
created on the Broadway stage.
Naturally dubious about the
fan reaction to satire, Mr.. Lasky
promises that the talkie version
Of 1.-THE Warriors Husband" will
aim for straight comedy. With
the starting date Of the picture
q month away Director Walter
Lang already is whipping his
treatment into shape.
Odd thing about Truck. After
passing him by these many
months, two studios now want
the services Of the diminutive
comedian. In addition to his role
in ''The Warriors Husband"
M-G-M is after him for the lead

Hollywood Parade
The crowd at a small time car
rival on the edge of Hollywood
got the thrill Of its life the other
afternoon. Two sturdy little boys
came up and purchased tickets
for q ride on the merry-goround.
There was nurse with them and
q well dressed man, who was
slight in build, gray around the
temples, but who had strangely
youthful eyes.
Suddenly, someone gave a cry
Of recognition: Charlie Chap
lin!" Children and elders craned
their heads. A stout old lady
came up beaming and began to
talk to the comedian. Very cour-
teously, Charlie replied to her
questions, he spoke to several
youngsters. Then, when his two
sons had finished their ride on
the merry-go-round, he shepherded
them and the nurse back into a
big car. Every eye followed them
as they drove away.

The trousers pocket on the
right side must be extra large.
He made no bones about the
reason for the request. He
wants to carry his gun in that
pocket.
The tailor, of course, did pre-
cisefy as he was requested to
do. He made the particular
pocket very large. When the
gunman came ir for his first
fitting, he very carelesSly re-
moved his revolver from the old
suit. and placed it in the new.
The fit was excellent, and the
gunman ordered the tailor to
go ahead.
When the time arrived for
the last fitting, the tailor was
curious. He had learned that
the gunman was not nearly so
dangerous as he looked, and
that 1t was not at all ilnpoS.
sible to talk to him. So, as he
marked q few loose spots on the
final suit, he talked to his no
torious customer.
"You carry a gun with you
all the time?" he asked.
Sure" returned the gunman.
"Why?"
The class tailor shrugged his
shoulders.
''I don't know" he replied. ''T
was Just curious, I guess. I
never had a customer Just like
you. Would you mind very
much If I looked at your gun?"
The customer laughed.
''Why not?" he said. "It's a
pip. Here"
He handed it over. The tailor
took the weapon and turned it
over gingerly in his hand. He
saw an inscription. and he read
it. And he, almost fell at the
feet Of the brute before him.

LAMONT MAY AID
IN RAIL PROBLEM
Retiring Secretary of Com
merCe to Be in Position
of Advantage.

Resignation of Robert P Lamont as
Secretary of Commerce means the re-
turn to the steel industry Of a man
who may be able to bring about In
private life what he has endeavored
in recent months to accomplish-name-
ly. better understanding between the
railroads and the Government with the
consequent improvement Of buying
power on the part of transportation
companies for equipment and mainten-
ance.
Mr.. Lamont has been one of the
quiet, working types of public
men who do their jobs without osten-
taticn. He has brought to the Com
merce Department business ability
and administrative capacity which en-
deared him to President Hoover. who
never has lost his interest In the
functioning of the department over
which he presided for nearly decade.
Part In Administration.
Mr.. Lamont has been playing a
prominent but inc0nspicuous part IL
the councils of the administration in
economic policy. He has held stead
fastly to the idea that one of the first
ways TO bring about economic recovery
was to bolster up the railroad situation
He as been in constant conference
with the railroad presidents and has
helped in reconciling differences lead
ing 10 the consolidation agreement. He
has declared again and again that 1t
the railroads spend In maintenance and
repairs in the ratio that they spent
after the 1921 depression, it would
mean the re-employment Of vast
number of men. He used to exhibit
the figures of increased expenditure for
maintenance, showing that after the
1921 depression. the railroads for several
years spent just double what they had
spent before 1921. and he has stated
that the railroads today are in need
OF exactly the same proportion of eX-
penditure on maintenance as they were
a decade ago
Credit Base Sought.
Conferences recently have been held
to determine If some credit base could
be erected on which the roads could be-
gin their maintenance and equipment
program. The plans are In the max
ing. and Mr.. Lamont, who has always
been leading figure in the steel in
dustry. may be able to serve in the
MidweStern Federal Reserve district
along with the other business men who
have been appointed to find ways and
means of aiding in business recovery
Mr. Lamont's departure brings in a
new figure-Roy d. Chapin-whose
service as chairman Of the board Of
the Hudson Essex Co. and as president
Of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce has frequently brought
hlm to Washington. He will add a view
point to the cabinet table which will
reflect TO no small extent The belief OF
many business men that once the motor
industry can be revived a large dent
In the unemployment figures will have
been made.
This is the first cabinet appointment
from Detroit since the Harding admin
tStraLi0n and is especially interesting
to official Washington because Mr..
Chaplin has world wide viewpoint and
national perspective, and that's the
type which the Commerce Department
has had from the beginning. D. l..
