SHORTER HOUR
MOVE Baked.
Chamber OF Commerce
Committee Fails To Get
Cooperation Here

Long working hours for mer'
camille establishments in Hender,
sonville will likely prevail until
the national recovery administra-
tor takes a hand if the futile eff
fort of a Chamber Of Commerce
committee is a fair index of sentl-
ment.
A number of grocers and meat
market men indicated a desire to
observe shorter working hours in
keeping with the spirit of Presi
dent Roosevelt's program and also
for their physical welfare and that
of their clerks. A committee
worked on the Main street bust
ness district and got the consent
of II stores to observe shorter
working hours, but one refusal
blocked the movement.
Leading stores in the depot sec
ton had also indicated a desire
for shorter working hours but the
program was abandoned when or
position was discovered.
The proposed new schedule
called for opening Of meat mar
kets and grocery stores at 7:3O
a. m. and closing at 6:30 p. M,
except on Saturday nights. on
which the closing hour was fixed
at Q o'clock. These stores now
quite often remain open until mid
night Saturdays in order to &C.
commodate people who take in
their amusements and recreation
before doing their shopping.

NO. LOUISIANA
IMPERILED BY
MAJOR FLOOD
70 Inches Of Rainfall In
Past Four Days Are
Working Havoc

SHREVEPORT, La. July &c.
(UP).-Swirling floodwaters sent
soaring by more than 20 inches
of rainfall since last Saturday
morning today were playing havoc
through a wide area of north Lou
isiana, while predictions of con-
tinued rain left no hope the floods
would soon subside.
1t was estimated today the loss
would exceed more than $2,0O0,-
900, and damage was mounting as
rivers and bayous continued to rise
at rapid rate.
Logansport, La, partially mum
dated and cut off from the rest OF
the world when the Sabine river
rose "a feet, was facing an acute
bread shortage. Many families in
that section were being rescued
from attics by relief boats sent
out from here. Firemen, police
and volunteer workers were re-
moving families from points of
danger along Bayou Lierre, west
of Broadmoor. In the Hanna area
along the Red river more than so
families yesterday had been driv-
en- from their homes by rising wa
tiers.
Crosslake, source Of Shreve-
ports water supply, had risen
more than six feet. Southern Pa
cifc railway traffic between Hous-
ton and Shreveport was stopped
by washouts at Logansport and in
east Texas, and damage to rail
road bridges at Robeline and
Pleasant Hill was delaying Texas
and Pacific trains to New Orleans.
Damage to crops, especially to
growing cotton. was great. Many
cotton farmers who had pledged
themselves to destroy one-third of
tka;r crop 'rder the government
reduction program today saw their
crops a total loss, and wondered
if their government benefit con-
tracts would still hold good. In
formation from Washington that
destruction by natural causes
would not invalidate the contract
spread some hope through the
ruined farm sections.

I suppose Miss Hepburn can

cover the real source of her wide

in The Nation:

Barratt FuIfiIIs
Screen Hopes

Robert Barrat, cast in an i'm.
portant role in From Head
quarters" the Warner Brothers
picture now showing at Warner
Brothers Metropolitan Theater,
has wanted to appear in .
mystery melodrama ever since he
came to Hollywood and the first
opportunity came in this new
crime story.
There have been plenty Of
assignments for him since he
arrived last winter on the Warner
Brothers lot, but until the job Of
leading heavy in From Head
quarters" came along, there were
no mysteries.
This craving for the mystery
school of drama is explained by
the fact that Barrat's first out
standing stage success was re-
gistered in the Mary Roberts
Rinehart thriller, THE Bat" in
which he played for full year
on Broadway.

About Cardini

One OF our readers in Alexan-
dria, Va, wants to know whether
we regard Cardini's lighted ciga-
rette trick Con view at the Fox)
as a more difficult feat in magic
than Fred Keating's making a
canary bird and cage disappear.
He says he has an idea we de-
bated this question here some
months ago and inquiries which
side won.
1 can only say that I voted for
Cardini and his smoking fags
after I had watched the trick a
number of times without reach
ing a convincing answer. think
I know how he does it but I'm
not as sure about it as I was that
Washington would win the world
series.
Keating's trick with the canary
bird was so simple that a whole
line of chorus girls did it in a
Chester Hale revue. That ought
to supply the answer as to diff
Guilty. I'd hate to see group of
chorines attempting the Cardini
technique with cigarettes.

when he returned to Hollywood.
Only three small interior scenes
had to be made at the studio. On

to make a retake because some
thing had happened to a camera.

Glass" in Follies

More than any single per-
former in the new Follies, Pa
tricia Bowman represents best
the beauties and good taste which
the label ziegfeld meant in the
theater. It is gratifying to know
that her numbers will be built up
for even greater Importance. For
instance the clever show window
wedding will have a Bowman
dance to add to it's artistic ap-
peal.
The Follies is still being doc
tored. The opening Knee"
number was inserted for the
first time Monday night, was
rehearsed up to $40 p. m, which
meant that hundreds of the au-
dience waited on the sidewalk
for the doors to open at 8:15.
The show window scene went in
only Saturday night.
When new scenery arrives and
is set the routine of the revue will
be changed considerably. Lee
Shubert has come to realize that
in Jane Frohman the Follies has a
worthy successor to Ruth Etting
as a singing star. Miss Frotman
is good to look at, has plenty Of
voice and the necessary "class."
Everett Marshall, too, is one Of
the new shows best assets.
I should like those who feel this
department was a trifle severe on
the lyrical garbage of the Follies
to tell me when they hear any of
the Brice numbers on the radio.
If radio is Puritan" in its censor
ship then this critical corner is
satisfied to be labelled MayfloWer.
