An Easy $4,000

Maurice (ReO Kann, editor of
Motion Picture Daily returned to
New York yesterday, after a sur.
vey Of the Hollywood scene. He
found a number of things the
matter with the movie industry
and quotes one example of why
some companies are financially
staggering:
"He is a writer employed by
a major studio. Salary, $500
a week, 81 weeks a year. Under
lOng-tearm contract, this man
hasn't turned out a single script
in 18 months. He shows up at
the studio regularly, constantly
drunk. When the so per cent
salary cut came in, the head
man on the lot, presumably
lacking the courage personally
to suggest the slash, sent an
emissary. Tell them to go to

"Now this is what I call a
real place. They want boxing,
so I give 'em boxing three times

No, sir. Not even under pro-

EN- ROUTE TO BROADWAY,

EN- ROUTE TO BROADWAY,
April 25.-Tomorrow will find
me back on Broadway. Wonder
if the old street has changed
much? They tell me it has, and
that things are pretty bad, and
that I'll wish I had stayed away
a little longer. Wonder how
Winchell will be? Wonder if
but I'll have to cut that out in
this column. I can't afford to
grow sentimental just yet. I'll
need the Broadway atmosphere
for that.
Meanwhile, then, I'll devote
this final column of the world
tour to a few more episodes
that took place during the lat
ter part Of the trip. Thus:
Sends Reporter
In Singapore, the Straits
Times sent a representative
around to interview me. The
Times is the leading paper in
Malay, and the reporter who
visited me is one of their best
men. So I dragged out some
of my very finest Sunday words
and flung them right and left.
What did I think of Singa-
pore? Well, I was very truth
full about it. I fished out a mo-
tion picture advertisement for
a film called MALAY Nights"
I had carried it with me from
New York for some unknown
reason, and I read it aloud to
the reporter.
Malay Nights" read. "She
was an unwilling victim Of the
fever-ridden, dank-smelling holes
of the dreaded ports of last re-
sort for whites. Selling her
soul and body for the money
to bring her back to civilization
and her loved ones. Stupen-
dous in it's climatic sequences.
FOR AUDIENCES WHO CAN
TAKE IT"
I put down the advertisement
and smiled at my visitor.
"You see how much junk
that is?" I asserted. IF you
form an impression of Singa-
pore from some of the movies
and books that have been done
about the spot, you might ex-
pect to find almost anything
when you arrive here. Not only
might plenty of people think
that Singapore was part of
China, but they might also be
led to believe that tigers and
lions roam around in the

Mr.. Scott is the owner Of the
Rangoon fair, and the proprie-
tor of the only night-club in
Rangoon. He's an American by
birth, although he hasn't lived
there since 1908. He's short,
and very stout, and he wears
big goggles that give him the
appearance Of an over-stuffed
owl.
Rangoon Fair
Mr.. Scott's night-club is the
most unusual spot Of its kind I
have ever visited. It forms a
part Of his fair grounds, and
brings out all the society swells
of Rangoon at least three times
a week. Mr.. Scott set up his
fair last September for one week
only, and he has kept it there
ever since. In fact, so success
full has the enterprise become
that he is thinking Of stretch
ing a canvas over the entire
place and keeping it open right
through the rainy season.
His fair is a pretty sickly
looking outfit-but it does the
business, which is all that
counts. He has wobbly ferris
wheel that stops only when a
passenger wants to get on or a
rider wants to get off. And he
has an airplane spinner that
threatens to collapse with each
spin.
The night club-all open, of
course-has an orchestra and a
troupe of Russian dancers.
Cover charge is 81 cents, but
you needn't buy anything to
drink if you don't want to.
Choice tables go to the English,
who are usually in evening
dreSs-but anyone is permitted
to sit down. "One mans money
is as good as the next" says
Mr.. Scott.

Alice.
Water cannot get through the
thick, oily feathers about my neck"
said the Swan. And my neck is so
long that I can easily reach the
bottom of the pond as I do my own
pond in summer when I get grass
and roots off the bottom to eat. -
But can you see under water

he Rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, yes" answered the Swan. II
ean open my eyes under water and
see nearly as well as I can on land.
Else it would do me no good to go
yrubbing in the mud on the bottom
Of the pond for roots to eat. I shall
soon get back your gold ring for
you, Uncle Wiggily.'
"Oh, if you only can!" murmur-
d Mr.. Longears.
Spreading wide his black, webbed
feet, Hisser, the swan, stood on the
dge of the ice hole. He reached
his long neck deep into the water,
delved about with his beak in the
mud on the bottom and when he
saw Uncle Wiggily's gold ring
glittering there, he picked it up in
his bill and gave it back to the
rabbit gentleman.

the Swan slipped and fell down
many times. But at last he found
out how to balance himself on the
skates and by afternoon he was
skating as well as the duck or the
rabbit. Hisser was very happy and
said he was going to skate all Win
ter. And I think he did.
