70 BODIES SOUGHT
IN CANYON INFERNO
Death Toll of Sixty Feared
Among Force Trapped
in Park Blaze.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, October 4-Grim-
faced searchers today stumbled over
the fire-seared walls Of a canyon in
Grifith Park, from which 36 charred
bodies had been recovered, expecting
to bring back the remains of at least
20 more unemployment relief workers
who were trapped in brush fire yes
terday afternoon.
Besides the SO recovered. r. c. Hus-
ton, assistant superintendent Of county
charities, said 20 or 25 more bodies
lay in a deep ravine but could not be
removed before daylight.
Approximately 100 men were in
hospitals, many Of them injured seri-
ously in the mad scramble up the sides
Of the box-like canyon that became
a raging Inferno when strong wind
famed the brush fire they were at
tempting to extinguish.
Blaze Suspect Held.
Robert D. Barr, %, an unemployed
motion picture, projectionist, was ar
rested by police and booked for sus-
picion Of arson.
He was traced through the license of
an automobile which had been parked
near the scene where the blaze started
and from which man had been seen
to enter the canyon and repeatedly
start the blaze.
Police said they found rags soaked
with kerosene on the man when he
was arrested. Barr made no statement
to police. He has a police record of
having been arrested on a drunk
charge.
Throughout the night thousands Of
relatives of the more than 3,700 workers
on the roads of the park crowded about
the county morgue and a hastily i'm
provised mortuary. A Gordon Of police

eyes the long string of stretchers car
ried through the doors.
Identification Impossible.
So badly were the bodies burned that
not single victim of the fire had been
identified this morning Relatives we're
to be permitted to view the bodies at
8 am. in an attempt to identify them.
Frank Merrill, superintendent of
Griffith Park, blamed the catastrophe to
lack Of experience In brush freight

the men who sent them into the canyon
of death.
Fire Chief Ralph Scott corroborated
Merrill's views by the statement, 1T
was suicide to send those men into a
walled-in canyon whose entrance was
blocked by raging flames and whose
only other means of exit was a winding

it has lost much of the tenor
falsetto quality as it comes
through the sound boxes. You

Exhibitors Ponder on Length Of Mae West Popularity
IS Per Cent Of Movie Organs Are Now Silent

AS a veteran member of the
association which includes all
those who used to pump the
organ it grieves me to read in
Variety that IS per cent Of the
organs in the movie houses are
now silent. They represent an in
vestment of $12,000,000.
There are several reasons way
organs are silent. One is that
the musicians union lays down
such strict rules they discourage
theaters run on an economical
basis. They will not let their
members double on the instru-
ment. Another reason reaches
right back and hits many of the
artists who once had good jobs
at the keyboards: They turned
out music which sounded as
though it was manufactured by
turning handle. Too much like
the mechanical nuisances in front
of Coney Island side shows.
I think the organ is a mag
nificent and majestic instrument
that adds tremendously to the
value of a wellplayed overture
with its deep and beautifully
rounded tones and it's glorious
volume. For the full effect Of
numbers like Morton Downey's
Rosary" it is almost essential.
AS a solo instrument it can be
made an asset to any theater,
given an artist like Dick Leibert,
who besides being a finished mu-
sician was a canny little show
man. He made his moments at
Loew's Palace organ count with
the audience just as he is now a
favorite with Radio City Music
Hall regulars.
realize that a dread exists
with musicians that if the organ
was encouraged it might mean
the end of many theater orches'
tras and add to unemployment,
Perhaps. And yet I never saw
an organ that was good enough
to play a vaudeville show.

Exhibitors are divided on how
long the Mae West popularity
will last. Many bet on another
two pictures. Others say indefi-
nitely. My own Judgment is that
Mae West will be in demand in
the movie houses while the type
of character she portrayS in
trigues the fancy of those who
pay.
Mae West is not of the YER
satile school. She cannot be cast
in society roles or play charac.
tiers that have other than a
tough veneer. But type actors
and actresses have managed to
survive in the Hollywood parade.
Wallace Berry, for example. And
ZaSu Pitts. Or even Jean Har-
low, who is a junior and semi
refined edition of the more ex-
perienced screen husSy.
The real menace to the Mae
West vogue is that it may feed
the growing fires of censorship. AS
it is, she is knocking box office
records sky high, will ring up a

Tale
at Keith's

'FMidshipman Jack" having
already enjoyed a very social
premiere at Fort Myer, now pro
crosses to RKO Keith's for an
advance Wednesday opening.
Christy Cabanne has taken a
pretty boy and girl romance and
placed it in the environs OF, An.
napolis and developed an enter
tanning film of life inside the
walls of the Naval Academy.
Through clever manipulation
Of two minor characters in the
persons of Arthur Lake and Frank
Albertson. he has contrived a
nicely of blending, with the result
that neither romance, comedy, or
moral become overly prominent.
Bruce Cabot, trifle too grim
of expression for the role Of
Middle Jack, is nevertheless a per.
Sonable young man who carries
his role with sincerity aided by a
smile and case of manner. Betty
Furness plays the love interest.
but with little appeal.
It falls to the lot Of Arthur
Lake, as the little rich boy plebe
deprived of his car and his free
dom, to lend a human comedy
touch which thoroughly enlivens
the picture aside from the merit
Of his characterization. Frank
Albertson joins in the comedy an
tics with Lake. but leans more
toward sentimentality.
Florence Lake contributes her
usual monologue of nonsense and
Purnell Pratt is the stern Com
mandant.
"Midshipman Jack" is flimsy
tale, but contrives to avoid dull
ness by large margin with the
ease of its presentation of routine
life and its lack of overdramatiza-
ton.
The amusing "Itchy Scratchy''
and News Issue completes the bill.
