HOLLYWOOD, June 21.-An-
other Broadway bright light will
shine in Hollywood. Samuel
Goldwyn has just signed Ruth
Etting, popular songstreSs of the
White Way, to come out here
and play opposite Eddie Cantor
in Roman Scandals"
In her first full-length talkie
assignment, Miss Etting will por-
tray a captive princess, but will
sing torch songs just the same.
The leading woman part is being
rewritten to fit her personality,
and Tunesmiths Al Dublin and
Harry Warren are hard at work
on some numbers for her.
Providing the ziegfeldian Mr..
Goldwyn gets his showgirls lined
up and william Anthony Nc
Guire is able to put the script
into shape, the new Cantor Of
fering should get into production
early in July.
It's to be a musical, like Ed

have no dancing lines of girls.

A Critical Letter

In connection with the con-
4nued agitation for a stricter SUI
pervision of stage and screen
morals the department is in re-
ceipt of a most interesting and
informative letter from May Bran
nan of 1840 North Capitol st.
She condemns laxity and loose
ness in the Hollywood product,
points out specific instances of
pictures that are offensive to
gentle folks. The letter is too
long to run in this column and
IN some respects a little too frank
for comfort, but 1 agree with 80
per cent of her argument.
The Brannon document whacks
the local movie critics none too
gently over the knuckles- and I
do not escape-but I respect the
opinions of one who is we'll in
formed, if, in my judgment, a
little severe.
One of our pleasant June
pastimes is taking out the extra
ciphers in the sea of gossip which
filters into type in the Hollywood
and Broadway releases. For in
stance, 1 can't swallow, even with
tabasco, the bulletin that Mae
West will get $4,000 a week for
personal appearances, for the
good reason I know of no theater
IN the limited States which tOdaV
could pay an act $4,000 a week
and make money. What it Sits
down to is that Mae West will
make a series of personal appear.

under rather than over $4,000 a

His Tough Luck

The elder brother, in a city
that was not so far away, learned
the facts from the newspapers.
His reaction was typical of the
man. He was sorry, of course,
that Ben had been forced to
take the rap, but if he hadn't
been smart enough to see how
things we're, that was his tough
luck.
The day that Ben was given a
sentence of from seven to ten
years, John purchased a home
town newspaper to get all the de-
tails. Protesting his innocence,
Ben had made a statement, and
it was printed in full.
There is one man who knows
I am innocent" he had said.
HE could have saved me. Some
day I will find him. If it takes
a lifetime, I will find him."
John read, and was plenty un-
easy. But, he told himself, that
seven years was a long. long
time. He and Ben would never
meet again. On that point
he was most determined. He be-
gan to make plans to leave the
country as swiftly as possible.
The next part Of the story,
cruel but seemingly just, moves
as follows:
That very night, in the hotel
where he was registered as John
Reade, he met a young woman
who was to change all of his
plans. He fell in love with her
the moment his eyes met hers.
And while he should have known
better, his plans for flight were
promptly forgotten. All he
wanted now was peace-and this
woman.
Mary was a member of one
of those proud and respected old
families that we read about in
books, but seldom meet. John
was wise enough to know that,
if they ever learned one word
about his shady past, his case
was hopeless. And his love for
this girl was so real that he was
willing to tackle anything; even
something legitimate.

MARK HELLINGER

The story, strange and un-
holy, starts this way:
From their earliest childhood
John Mason and his brother
Ben were as different-outside
of a marked physical resem-
blance-as two men could posi-
bly, be.
Ben was plodder, hard
working and unimaginatiye.
John was the exact opposite
He had dreams of a brilliant
career that ended abruptly
when he was yanked from
school at the request of a
harassed principal.
Ambitious Man
This, however, failed to still
his ambitions. He had a strong
desire to get somewhere as
quickly as possible. The methods
made little difference to him.
Thus, by the time that his
younger brother had graduated
from school, John had estab-
lished a small business in which
he offered his brother a part
nership. Ben accepted it glad
ly because, on the surface, the
business looked to be a strictly
legitimate enterprise.
What he didn't know, OF
course, was that John was in
volved in a counterfeiting enter
prise in the subcellar Of his
shop. It was a clumsy enter
prise, even though all the tools
and materials we're present. And
it was only a question Of time
until the very phony bills were
traced to their source.
Maybe John was quite aware
Of that fact, for he placed the
establishment in his brothers
name and permitted him to
manage the business while he
travelled around the country and
attempted to unload some Of
the homemade dough. If
there was any catching to be
done. John wasn't particularly
anxious to be present when it
happened.
And happen it did. The shop
was raided one afternoon when
John was away, and Ben was
arrested. Dull and seemingly
unable to comprehend exactly
what had happened, his story
of the facts was hardly con-
vincing. Whereupon, within a
short time, he was placed on
trial for manufacturing and cir
culating spurious currency.
