afraid to Talk" new picture
at the Rialto Theater, is the
story of crooked politicians and
their alliance with the under

What it attempts to show is
that the city bosses are not
averse to a bit of graft and un-
holy tie-ups with racketeers pro-
vivid the chicanery and malad-
miniStration can be concealed.
The party in power will wink at
those who get the spoilS just as
long as they are clever enough
to escape detection. The unpar-
donable crime is being caught
with the goods. The party in
power dumps overheard imme-
diately those clumsy enough to be

The community demands action
and so they pin the crime on an
innocent bell hop who was un-
fortunate enough to witness the
killing. Third degree methods
force a confession and it looks
bad for the young hotel clerk
until justice takes hand and
works out the right solution.
Ed Arnold Stars
Eric Linden is the harassed
youth and does a good piece Of
emotional acting. Ed Arnold
plays the underworld boss and
makes a believable gunman.
Louis Calhern as the district
attorney, Berton Churchill, as
the mayor; Frank Sheridan as
the police commissioner, and
Sidney Fox, all have vivid roles.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Nov. 18.
Before the camera starts grind
ing on her new picture Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer already has lined
up another prospect for Joan
Crawford. It is an original story
by Elmer Harris called Happily
Unmarried"
Looking out to protect the
idea, the studio isn't talking
much about the plot, but it may
be a tip-off that Harry Beaumont
has been chosen as director.
Beaumont directed most of those
modern girl stories in which Joan
first swept to popularity.
1t is no secret, of course, that
she grew very tired Of them and
spared no effort in talking the
studio into giving her different
types or roles. But that was
some time ago. She has since
done RAIN" and she will vary
her characterization again in
William Faulkner'S war story
now on the verge of production.
Many fans would like to see her
play one Of the old roles again.
First, of course, she must dis
pose Of her present assignment,
and before this is possible, Di-
rector Howard Hawks must To-
cate two English actors who will
fit into the picture. One who
has received several tests is John
Lawton, now working at Fox in

Killed a Man

Sweetheart" he cried, $you're
the only one I can turn to.
They're after me-but can't
leave town because of you. I've
just killed man. And it's only
a question of time until the
copperS nab me.
Il didn't know what I was
doing, Dot. I lost my head. I
wanted a lot of money to buy
you things because I love you.
And croaked a guy. I won't
go away, honey, because I love
you. My God, darling, what am
going to do?"
Dorothy was the average
woman. A bit shrewder, per
hapS, but still the average
woman. She looked at this man
in torment-and then she drew
him to her.
Don't worry, Blinky," she
murmured. "I'll help you. The
cops will never nail you. Be-
cause you're going to stay right
herewith me-"
It's a good thing Dorothy
couldn't see Blinky's face as
she held him close. Because he
was grinning.
About seven months drifted
by. Blinky was the same man.
A trlfle more conceited, as his
pals noticed when he slipped
OH to see them. But otherwise
the same Blinky. It was Dor
othy who had changed.
she had grown thinner. She
was extremely nervous. She
Jumped at the slightest noise
AND one night she told Blinkv
the reason.
Its all because of you," she
SAID. I'm always afraid that
the cops will nab you-and it's
the terrible uncertainty of the
thing that's driving me crazy
II only something would hap
pen: If I only knew definitely
tnaC you would be caught-or
that you'd never be caught
Then I'd be satisfied"
Bl1nky thought it over. He
still loved Dorothy with all his
heart. More, if possible, than
ne had loved her before she
permitted him to live in her
home. He knew now that she
loved him, too. And he decided
not to let her suffer any longer,
The following afternoon he
sat himself on the arm of her
chair.
Honey" he cried, "I've made
up my mind to make you feel
better. I'm going to tell you
something.
He Was Lying
When I told you about kill.
ing a man, I was lying. I
didn't kill anybody at all. But
I wanted you terribly. And
knowing all about women, I
knew that you would be sorry
for me. I told you that story,
And I was right"
Dorot4y's move was a great
surprise to Blinky. She stood
up, her eyes ablaze.
"You dirty two-timing rat!"
she screamed. 80 you lied to
me. did you? And you've made
me worry for seven months
have you? Get out of here.
you bum. Get out and stay
out!"
Blinky tried to argue. Dor.
othy began to throw things,
Blinky ran.
To his pals, Blinky has been
attempting to explain ever
since.
"All I wanted to do" he as
Serts, was to make her feel
better. I did it-and look
what happened. I understand
women all right. But she's
different"
The Washington times., 1932-11-18
"A Little Mistake

well, what of it?" he replied.
Suppose I have gone a little
screwy about Dot? Can't it hap
pen to a fellow without you
guys poking your noses into his
business?
But all this don't make no
difference. Let me tell you some
thing, smart guys. I'm going to
get that dame-and I'm going
to get her right.
Remember what I'm telling
you, boys. Dorothy is as good
as mine right now. Because I
understand women"
Before another two weeks had
passed Blinky had asked Doro-
thy to become his wife. For the
first time in his life he had
fallen completely in love with
q woman. He knew the mob
The Washington times., 1932-11-18
Devil With Ladies

AS far back as Blinky's
friends could remember, he had
been quite a devil with the
ladies. He was seldom seen
with the same woman twice.
That was against his code.
whats the use of chasing
around with one skirt?" he
would argue. What does it
get you? Marriage. Yes, sir
marriage and babies. And then
where are you?
THAT kind of stuff is not for
Bfinky. No guy has to fall in
love unless he wants to. And
I amt going to. If I watch
my step, I'll be okay. Because
! understand women"
That last crack explained
Blinky thoroughly. I don't
have to tell you much about
him. He understood women.
In due time, Blinky met
Dorothy. Dorothy had been in
several comedies on Broadway
and knew every onion in the
bag. Blinky took her out one
night and gave her a few of
the lines that always caused
the ladies to fall for him.
Dorothy failed to fall. She
laughed at him.
So Blinky took her out a
second time. And a third, and
q fifth, and tenth. Still,
whenever he made advances
she gave him nothing but
good-natured grin.
I'll tell you how it is,
Blinky," she said. II like you,
but I'm not in love with you
by several million miles.
IF you want to be a friend
Of mine, that's fine. But don't
get any false notions. Because
I don't feel that way about you.
And that's all there is to it, my
friend"
Meanwhile Blinky's friends
were having the time of their
lives with him.
Thought you were the fellow
who understands women" they
laughed. What's the matter
with Dorothy? Isn't she
woman?"
"And what's that you said
about never falling in love? Ho,
no! If you aren't in love now.
you'll do until guy in love
comes along"

would go into Mysteries if he
were hauled into the marriage
net. But he had passed he
stage when he worried about
that. All he wanted was this
girl.
Dorothy turned him down.
That's the first proposal I've
had in a long time" she said,
"and when say proposal, I
mean marriage. But what I
told you before, Blinky, still
goes. I don't love you enough.
And I've got to say no." ..
When he reached his home
that night F1inky was desperate.
He sat in a chair, opened a
bottle of brandy and began to
think. When dawn came he
was cock-eyed. But he was still
thinking =.
Two days later, Blinky came
to Dorothy's apartment. He
was shivering. He looked
beaten. He was a different
Blinky. He flung himself at
the girls feet.
The Washington times., 1932-11-18

Blinky belonged to the second
class. A member of the under
world in good standing, what
he stole and how he cheated
need not concern us here. Suf-
ficient to relate that he always
had plenty of money.

the extreme eastern border of the

sentiment against removal. Then, as
the returns began coming from
