SOVIET YOUTH
 BOOST MILITARY

Moscow (UP)-The thorough militarization of Soviet youth was the task frankly set before the Communist Youth organization of 5,500,000 members at its recent na- tional conference here.
 The supreme duty of boys and girls at this stage of Soviet devel- opment. speaker after speaker em- phasized, is to prepare themselves to defend their socialist father- land.
 The demand for military train- ing and warlike discipline ran like red thread through all the pro- cecdings. It was repeated in the message of greeting from Joseph Stalin, which simultaneously em- phasized his desire for interna- tion3l peace and amity among na- tions.
 Addresses were made by repre- sentatives of the Red Army, the Red Navy, the Osoaviakhim (So-. ciety for Chemical and Aviation Dcfenee). and the G. P. U. They invariably echoed the idea that more intensive. military prepared- ness wGs the immediate task not only of the 5,500,000 Communist Youth members, but through their influence of Soviet youth as a whole.

Miss PinkertOn''
 Comes to State Mary Roberts Rinehart Serial Brought to

Miss Pinkerton," the First Ma tional production, which opened today at the Warner State theater Is notable entertainment from sev- eral important angles. For one thing, it marks the starring debut of saucy little Joan Blondell; for another, it brings to the screen the Americas favorite woman writer. latest and best mystery story of Mary Roberts Rinehart.
 The producers, masters of real istic entertainment, have made the Saturday Evening Post thriller of Mrs Rinehart into one of the fin- est screen productions of the year; and, incidentally, have demon. strated to the satisfaction of this reviewer that the little Blondell has developed from minx into q dramatic actress of the very best type.
 Joan has always been blessed with that magnetic substance that is summed up as personality" Now, as she enters the realm of the stars, she seems to have grown up and she carries her new respon- abilities with dignity and charm.
 In Miss Pinkerton" she DOT trays hospital nurse who is fed up with the monotony of her work; then suddenly is thrust into the vortex of q baffling murder mystery. Through her quick wit and keen woman's instinct she suc- ceeds in solving the mystery where trained detectives fail; and inci- 6entally, manages to get herself loved and in love. The romance prospers despite tho furious sc- qucncc of events in which it is nur- tured.
 Miss Blondell is ideal in the nurse- detective role, retaining her characteristic bubblinS humor de- spite the heavy demands of the character she plays.
 Opposite the star is George Brent, brand-neW personality on the screen and one that give; promise of future power Brent as Inspector Patten, turns in ono of the finest jobs of acting seen in the films this year and bears out the advance notices which stamp him as the newest leading mar nsation of Hollywood. He is q big, handsome fellow. an Irishman trained in the famous Abbey the

Goldwyn Sees Pittsburg Girl
 On Train, Gives Her Star Role

But as yet she hasn' t been inside of newspaper office. Soon after she arrived here, Mack Sennett met her and grabbed her for three of his comedies.
 Then she took fling at writing as member of the Metro-Gold- wyn-Nayer scenario staff. Now she's back in front of the cameras again with part in Eddie Cam tors current film, "The Kid From Spain."
 
 You can expect screams from Hollywood almost any moment now. A new book entitled "Reck- less Hollywood" by Haynes Lubou is said to contain a number of rather wild references to our quiet village. And Hollywood won't like that

Movie Sacrifices Should
 Be Taken With Grain Of Salt

"Cimarron' and more recently in Back Street"
 Tn "Paid," the film in which she made her first big dramatic hit, Joan Crawford appeared as 8 girl who had spent two years in prison. She used no makeup except some heavy lining under her eyes and her cheeks were drawn to give the impression of prison spallor.
 Jackie Cooper had to wear a leg brace throughout When a Fellow Needs a Friend" The brace wasn't painful but 1t was tiresome, particularly for a young ster with Jackie's energy.

Hollywood-They claim to do it for arts sake. But do they?
 It is not unusual to hear q screen actor or actress start spout. ing about what he or she has gone through flor the sake of my art" It sounds good and 1t makes good reading. But is it exactly true?
 During the years spent in Holly wood I have become more and more suspicious of the authentic ity of such statements. Each time hear a remark of this kind wonder just how many of these exploited hardships would be en. dtired if it weren't for those slips the paper passed out each week by the cashier My bet is that the value Of art would take a terrific slump.
 Some do actually suffer pain Take for example the late Lon Clancy. No amount of physical discomfort was too great for Lon if he could bping new character ization to the screen. In fact, he >. could work only a few hours a day in some of his pictures due to the physical strain of his makeup However, our actresses in parti- cular seem to feel that they are making q great sacrifice simply by going before the cameras without being made up to look as beauti- full as possible
 notice, though, that there al- ways are some scenes in each pic ture In which dazzling beauty pre- dominates.

 Helen Hayes, undoubtedly one of our best actresses, had to grow old and, unattractive in "The Sin of Madeline Claudet." During the latter part, of the film her skin was pinched together to give the appearance of wrinkles. Her lips were shriveled, her hair skinned back and her teeth discolored to give the impression of decay. Irene Dunne did the same thing in

Double Feature
 Booked at Strand Washington Masquerade
 and Final Edition Coming :,

Warnep Brothers Strand has booked another imposing list oi double feature programs for tho week starting Sunday. when "The Washington Masquerade" and "The Final Edition" grace the screen of this popular theater. LioneBBarry- more is starred in the former.
 In striking contrast to his DOT trayal of Grand Hotel" is the role of the dominant Jeff Keane, senator and national political pow CT, who, though men are his poli- tical tools, is nevertheless the tool of a woman who, employed by the lobbyist racket" deceives him and rules him by guile until the astounding dramatic climax.
 Barrymore probably never had a greater role. In The Claw, on the stage, he made the role the atrical history. In the screen adap- tation, modernized and with au- thentic inside facts added by Sam uel G. Blythe, famous political writer who collaborated with John Meehan, he has mighty portrayal. In his speech before the senate he even outdoes his famous work in "A Free Soul"
 An elaborate cast surrounds Barrymore. Karen Morley. who played with him in "Arsenc Lupin", scores as the willy charmer. employed by lobbyists to keep the recalcitrant senator under control. Nils Asther is effective as the suave foreign affairs lobbyist, whose love affair with the wife finally precipi- tates the astounding denouement.
 One often hears of the desperate chances taken by brave newspaper reporters in order to come through with a sensational story. Report CTS, according to legend and fact, are constantly risking their lives to get scoops.
 "The Final Edition" companion feature on this bill, presents a new slant on the daring reporter prob lem. In this casa a sob sister goes

Hollywood - Regardless of the talent around Hollywood, which continues to storm studio portals, producers still follow their old cus- tom of bringing in outsiders for the juicy roles. The latest to make her appearance is Dorothy Hale, Pittsburg society girl.
 Miss Hale was en route to San Francisco to arrange for an ex- hibition of her husbands murals when she met Samuel Goldwyn. The producer saw her as a pos- sible wife for Ronald Colman in his next film, "Cynara and sug- gested that she stop off in Holly wood long enough to take 0 screen test.
 The young lady consented to do this and immediately after seeing the test Goldwyn signed her to a contract, with the feminine lead in "Cynara" as her first assign ment,
 Dorothy differs from most of our Hollywood girls in that she readily admits her 27 years. And she has been married twice-the first time to T. Gaillard Thomas IT, and now to oPGarner Hale, well known artist.
 Is there going to be another one of those May-December. romances on the R-K-O lot? From all indi- cations there is-with Dorothy Will son and Gregory La Cava as the principals. From where sit, this looks like a reptition of the Airline Judge-Wesley Ruggles romance.
 Airline played her first featured role in Are These Our Children" which Ruggles directed. A short time later they were married. Miss Wilson's first appearance before the cameras was in "The Age of Consent" which La Cava directed.
 And since the completion of the picture a few weeks ago they have been seen together quite a lot. Greg doesn't work as fast as Wes did, though.
 If you like to follow the pro- gress of newcomers, watch for the name of Pat Harper. Pat is q charming young red-head who used

John Barrymore
 Plays at Garden
Cast as Lead in Political Drama Washington
 Masquerade"

Washington, with it's swirl of political intrigue, social splendor and the dramatic details of the inside" of national political ma- chinery, forms spectacular back ground for Lionel Barrymore's newest appearance on the screen in The Washington Masquerade. Based on "The Claw. one of the famous actors greatest successes on the. stage, the new Metro Goldwyn- Mayer picture, which is now playing at the Garden theater, presents the actor in truly "Barrymore-sized" role, as the sem ator and political power who is master of men, but nevertheless the tool of designing woman. In- innate details of Washington and it's timer circle' were written into the screen adaptation for which John Meehan collaborated with Samuel c. Blythe, famous Wash ington political writer. Barrymore plays middle western senator who becomes a senatorial leader and national power. Unable to reach him any other way, the lob- byists try a woman employed to charm recalcitrant legislators. The senator facs in love with her, mar ries her, sacrifices his career and resigns from the senate at her be- hest. After he turns traitor to his party, he discovers the trick that has been played on him. How he battles it out before the senate, tearing down the structure of poli- tical manipulation in a final sen- sational victory forms 8 powerful climax. Others in the cast are Karen Morley and Nils Asther.
 The companion feature is Hell Fire Austin" with Ken Maynard. A thrilling oss-country race with Ken Maynard on Tarzan just a neck ahead of the closest horse is one of the biggest scenes in "Hell- Fire Austin. Maynard proves his ability not only in trick riding but in competitive riding ths pcture, for the other rders in the race were chosen after searching Hollywood "jockies" available in casting bu- entertainments, taking natural out and around sagebrush and rocks the race wa s one of the most
 thrilling and dangerous scenes Maynard has made in some time. Also on the bill are the usual choice short subjects. Ladies are given Pyroloid Tuesday. Linen on Thursday< and a Country Store is given every Saturday night.

 him. Rickenbacker. leading the
 patrol, took care of the pursuing

New York, Jan. 16.-While j. Pier
pont Morgan possesses invaluable
treasures from every section of the
globe and while his museums bulge
with the worlds rarest objects, I am
told that the internationally famed
Croesus gets his greatest personal
enjoyment out of two possessions.
First-the Morgan collection of
books includes the original manu-
script of Dickens Christmas Carol
One hears that, when the Yule sea-
son approaches, the great financier
rings for one of his librarians and
asks that the most famous of Christ
mas tales be produced. Then he sits
back to read, preparatory to his holi-
day pilgrimage to Glen Cove for a
visit with his grandchildren.
And that is No. on his holiday
schedule.
For not only is there the relaxa-
ton of companiol1ship with the
youngsters, but also on this Long
Island estate are his beloved tama-
rack and tamarisk trees. Few trees
are more closely associated with the
background of the Holy Land-a
check on the Bible will reveal refer
ence to both the tamarisk and tama-
rack, and Morgan has fine specimens
OF both. The tamarisk Is indigenous
to the African and Arabian desert,
growing in the Holy Land and on
Mount Sinai.

On the other side OF the holiday
season picture are the long lines of
hungry men to be seen waiting hour
upon hour for the food that is in
variably plentiful in a dozen sections
OF New York.
New York city provides a huge pier,
where thousands can be served at a
single sitting.
