Mae Clarke Has
Role in Gable,
Beery Film
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1898, King Features
Syndicate Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 16.
Through the hardest kind of
breaks, Mae Clarke has refused
to say quits. Yesterday, she re-
ceived the reward of courage and
ability-a long term contract at
MetroGoldwyn-M Mayer.
Along with it comes one of the
leads in Soviet" the picture
that is to co-star Clark Gable
and Wallace Beery.
With this good news, Mae can
say good-by at last to the jinx
that threatened her screen career.
It was last April when the actress
became ill-a complete break
down-and Hollywood shook its
head and said she was through.
But that was Understanding
Mae. She spent five months in
the hospital, came out a sick girl
still, but held constantly to the
determination to come back to
the screen.
The first step came in August
when she was signed for an in
dependent picture. After hat
she managed to get four more
roles. Then Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer signed her for "Rivets.
It was her work as Jack Gilbert's
leading woman in this film that
turned the tide.
Now, she's in a better position
than she ever was. But she has
her fingers crossed just the same

Can it be true, this gossip that

coming out soon to talk release
with several of the big COM

Women Like Kate

There are 1900 seats in the
Maryland Theater over in the
neighborirg city of Baltimore and
yesterdays matinee found every
one occupied and SO standees for
Katharine Cornell's new play
"Alien Corn"
About the Cornell appeal with
the woman playgoer there is not
the slightest doubt. The most
careful counting revealed less
than a dozen men in this capacity
audience with William Harryman
Rapley aud ye editor among the
mere males.
There is room for doubt about
Sidney Howard'S "Alien Corn" It
happens that Katharine Cornell's
real yearnings in this one are for
a career as a concert pianist.
Heart problems she has, too, but
it seemed to me she achieves less
success in having the audience
share her suffering than in her
more successful roles of the past.
They pitied and cried with Eliza
beth Barrett of Wimpole Street
whereas Elsa Brandt of "Alien
Corn" leaves too many dry-eyed.

Lambs and Aliens

The Lambs Club-which has
many idle actors on its member
ship rolls-is back of, and some
say inspired, the government
cleanup of foreign actors in
Hollywood.
At any rate Uncle Sam is coral
ling the souse-pots, sleek actors
who have been running loose
around the studios and bothering
woman stars, and those who can
not show the proper naturaliza.
ton papers are being escorted to
the outgoing boats. Secretly the
Hollywood executives are tickled
over the embargo and there is
very good reason to believe sicked
the agents on to some undesir-
ables.
The Lambs justify their atti-
tude by the fact that the country
has been flooded with foreign ac-
tors who keep Americans out Of
jobs. It's also justified by the
hardships imposed on American
actors who try to work abroad.
One Of our best American mana
gers sent by the Shuberts to Can
ada, was not even permitted to
take off his coat. "This job
belongs to Canadian" he was
told.

from his chair and saluted me
most nobly. I smiled to my
self. Hellinger at last was get

was entitled. And two minutes
later the officer confiscated

Your camera is two large"

But my letter." I cried.
"How about that? Doesn't it
say that I am to be given

The smile never left his face.
"Ah, the letter." he returned.

pressions, but on the long
drive from the station to the
hotel I was disappointed in this
city. AS a city of dreams, it
strikes me that Constantinople
is more of a nightmare. Far
from being beautiful, the town
is positively ugly. An the faces
are the most unfriendly I've
encountered on the entire trip.
don't know exactly what I
expected to see in CONSTANT
nople, but whatever it was I
haven't seen it up to the pres
ent writing. AS I wrote the
other day, the very name Of
Constantinople always held a
definite lure for me. I
dreamed, I think, of a gay
people who lived in the sun
and danced away the hours in
brilliant costumes.
Alas for my dreams. I arrive
here to find suspicious faces,
homely women, poor clothes
and-to make the thing COM

the Hollywood industry is sub
jected to a persistent enemy
propaganda in the English trade
press. George A. Atkinson, editor
of The Era, is continually pound
ing to have the best exhibitor
days in England reserved exclus-
lively for home made screen prod
uct. In the current issue he de.
ivers himself of this blast:
The fact that 1000 years of
Christianity have had no effect
on modern America does not in
duce me to believe that the pub
lie exhibition of American
scandals in England will Chris

America, to me, is a country
of barbarians. To Mr.. Nichols it
may represent histOry'S highest
pinnacle of civilization.
Personally, / do not believe
that America is capable Of Sus-
tanning a civilization.
Civilization can be sustained
only by a root race, and Amer
lea, as far as 1 know, has never
established a root race, except
on her Western coasts, and i'm
one or two of her negro COM

Seventeen days in IStanbul!
If he had told me that I'd have
to sit through 10 Turkey pro-
ductions it couldn't have been
any worse. 1 clutched at the
desk for support.
He Wants to Go
where" I muttered, where
can I go by boat? Or by air
plane? Or by magic? Or by
golly? Where is the next service
to some place?"
IF you do not choose to go by
train" he murmured, you can
leave by boat to Jerusalem in
10 days. It will take you, how
ever, eight days to get there. Or,
if you wish to change your
plans, you can sail on the Turk
ish Mail Line for Alexandria the
day after tomorrow-and thence
by train for Cairo and Jerusa-
lem. There is no airplane SER
vice."
I was in sad shape.
"How long," I gasped, "how
long from here to Alexandria
on the Turkish Mail Line the
day after tomorrow"
Scarcely worth speaking of,
sir" he returned. "Only four
days"
"Only four days." I repeated.
That's remarkable. If that's
the only way I can get out of
here, that's the way I'm going.
Get me a decent cabin on that
boat, if such thing is possible. "
I hesitated. And I'm afraid I
grew a bit sarcastic.
"It shouldn't take you more
than eight hours to get me that
simple ticket, should it?" I
added.
His reply was quite serious.
"Oh, no, sir" he said. "And
I might be able to do it in
seven!"
When I returned to the hotel
I learned that my camera had
not yet been released. I sum-
moned a guide and asked him
for the name of the head man
of the town. He said that the
gentleman in question was the
governor of the city.
"Okay," I cried. "Get him on
the phone and arrange an ap-
pointment for me. I'll tell that
bozo a thing or two"
An Appointment
every good" replied the
guide. "And what day next
week shall I make the ap-
pointment for?"
What told the guide at
that point need not be stated
here. Sufficient to relate that,
within an hour, I was sitting
with the governor of Istanbul
in his private office. He's deaf
and he can't speak English at
all. But aside from those little
facts, we got along famouSly.
With my guide acting as my
interpreter and shouter, I grew
very dramatic. I demanded the
release of my camera immedi-
ately. And if I exaggerated a
trifle, who will blame me? I
drew pictures of the Army, the
Navy and the United States
Marines all coming to the res
cue of my one little camera.
Each sentence was duly shouted
into the governors ear, but he
did not seem particularly i'm
pressed. The guide spoke.
"The governor feels badly
about this" he said, land he
will probably order your cam
era released. He has many
things to think about, but he
will do his best"
I played my trump card.
Striking my attitude, which is
not as dangerous as striking a
woman, I let loose.
"Ask him this" I cried. docs
he want me to write back to
America and tell my people
how inhospitable the Turks
are? Does he want me to
tell the real story of how I
have been mistreated in Con-
stantinople. Does he?"
The guide repeated my
words. The governor spoke

Washington, Sept. 1S.-(AP)- The
bituminous coal code, to which opera
tors affixed their signatures Saturday
night, today faced a new threat from
organized labor which held possibili-
ties of reopening the controversy and
delaying final PRONUNCIATION of the
charter by President Roosevelt.
A meeting of the labor advisory
board Of the MIRA was called for late
TODAY to give formal consideration to
the code.
There were strong indications il
would register opposition, not only to
interpretations of the collective bar
gaining provision, but also to mum
Der of the wage scales.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
WilTbm Green, eresident of the
American Federation of Labor, have
asked such stand from the board
which is headed by DR.. Leo Wollman
and includes selected spokesmen for
labor.
The industrial advisory board

the code today.
