Bar Foreign
 
BY DAN THOMAS NTA Service Writer

Hollywood-Greta Garbo ..::... Charles Chaplin. .. George Arllss Marlene Dietrich. Maurice Chevalier. .Pola Negri.
 What howl would go up iron disappointed movie fans If thes' names should be barred from the silver screen. Yet that Is exactly what Representative Samuel Dick stein of New York, chairman Of the house immigration committee, f trying to bring about.
 According to recent news dis patches from Washington, DICK stein has introduced measure which would ban all foreign stag. and screen stars on the ground that American beauty and talent isn't given the same break as that given to imported stars.
 If Dickstein only would make a more thorough study Of the sho" world, he would know that nim executives are not the ones who are placing these foreigners on pedestals. The 120,000,000 Ameri- can citizens are doing that. They want foreign stars-want them so badly that even in these days oi depression they are willing to pay millions of dollars to see them on the screen.
 If at any time MT and Mrs America decide that foreigners nave no place on our theater screens, all they will have to do Is to stop go- ing to see them. That will auto matically send them scurrying back to Europe because film producers will not engage stars whom tne public will not pay to see. AS It IS the six foreign stars mentioned above all are included among the biggest box office attractions In the entire industry. They are not cheat ing Americans out of jobs because there Is not an American "ne could replace single one of them | It will be interesting to see wha' happens as a result of Metro-Goid wyn- Mayors production Of WICK Baum's novel. "Grand Hotel. as motion picture. Shooting alreaoA has started on this story with Greta Garbo, John and Lionel Barry more, Joan Crawford, wallace Beery, Lewis Stone, Jean Hershoi and John Milan in the leadinf roles. Putting such a cast as th1' into a single picture is somethint new since the talkies came Int their own.
 It was tried once in the ol' silent days but was not overly sue Ecessful. If the gross of the pictur .is suf1icient to warrant such an az
 gregation of salaries, other studio
 probably will follow suit. But W
 seriously doubt if 1t will becom

Indeed they annually incur heavy loss. The telegraph service, for instance, Is now some $250,- 00O.00O in the red
 Not only that, but in matters of speed and efficiency both services are regarded as joke, albeit grim one if you have tried to send wire to northern Scotland and found that 1t takes day or some times two days to deliver it. The telephone service, even within the confines of London, Is often little short of maddening.
 For years, therefore. Londoners have been trying to get the serv- ices taken out of government hands and put into those of pri- vate companies.
 The late Labor government feil this was inimical to it's Socialistic tenets. But now some 320 mem bers of parliament have signed petition paving the way for the change and sent it to the prime minister.
 Down on the Thames water front, at the eastern edge of the city, is a great dark cavern where a man could become lost. Here are stored 750,000 gallons Of wine
 The cavern is known as the Crescent vault, and it is the show vault of London. It Is 127 years old and it's casks stretch over three and half acres. Men with lanterns wind their way through the eerie darkness tapping each keg twice a day. They can tell by the sound whether it has sprung | leak. Wines of every kind in the | world are stored in the Crescent vault, and some of them have come from the other side of the globe. Everyone who enters has to carry a lantern with a number, for besides lighting his way 1t lets | the overseer know just how many l people are in the huge cellar. A restaurant in Chelsea bears this sign:
 DINNERS FOR DOGS | Sd bowl for Small Dog. 4d bowl for Large Dog. | Sd bowl for Outsize Dog. Raw and cooked meat; brown bread and vegetables.

TWO STAR FEATURES
 AT THE LYRIC

Weird dance rituals to pagan gods, international intrigue, un- bridled passions romance and the certain doom of firing squad. All these things go to make up tne glamorous story of "Mata Hari' which was unreeled yesterday at the Lyric theater as the suspicious co-starring debut of Greta Garbo and Ramon Novarro.
 Second Feature.
 Romance was re-created with all its pulse and nerve tingling qualities by Janet Gaynol and Charles Farrell in their latest Fox melody romance, "Deicious in which their incompatible screen technique is given full opportunity for display.

London After years of cease less complaint and much wear and tear on the nerves, Londoners at last have hopes of getting decent telephone service.
 Telephone and telegraph com panies throughout the British isles are government monopolies. and the service. so to speak, IS conducted by the postoffice de- partment. The British pubic makes no secret of the fact that 1t is deplorable.
 Why the government persists in running the telephones and tele- graphs Is & mystery even to many of the officials themselves. They make no money for the treasury.

HOW NATURE CARVEs ROCKS

While I was aboard a bus. dur ing my recent visit to the Rocky mountain region, I saw off to one side the figure of what might be called Sleeping Giant. The giant was made of rock. and never in this world will he rise from his bed and walk around.
 In many other parts of the world, Nature has carved strange figures. In two places, I have seen rocks, shaped like elephants; and in England 1 saw 8 rock shaped like a frog!
