INTIMATE GLIMPSES AND INSIDE STUFF ON THE
 MOVIE COLONY
BY DAN THOMAS

Hollywood - Alison Skipworth, veteran of a hundred stage plays and host of pictures, thinks she's terrible" and can't understand why she's always in demand. But she intends to take Hollywood's s money just as long as it's forth
 As for retirement! one young man asked her just that question not long ago and "Skippy" was so incensed she's been talking about 1t ever since.
 i've been acting for 8 years.' Miss Skipt.orth told me. And I intend to keep on acting until mo- body will hire me any longer. My principal belief is that a person should work as long as he or she is able. As yet. I'm perfectly able. The older and uglicr I get, the more 1 seem to be in demand" May Do Mrs Wlggs"
 And Alison Skipworth is always in demand. Following long. and colorful stage career which she sums up as "a succession of long runs followed by q series of 20 Hops" Miss Skipworth embarked upon the -blaZed trail to Holly wood and the movies. Her pictures to date might easily be classed with her succession of long runs on the legitimate stage. Every one has been q success. She's just as apt as not to steal the honors from the star.
 Now there's talk about her play ing tho title role in Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" The film rights to the story are owned by Paramount, the studio to which she is under contract. Originally the story was considered nat ural" for Marie Drcssler, who is under contract to Metro-GoldWyn Mayer.
 Negotiations were opened sev- eral times for her to make the pie ture. But they never passed the deadlock stage. M-G-M executives refused to loan Mario and Para mount officials proved equally per sistent to refusing to sell the story. "Id Be Terrible"
 However, ever since Miss Skip worth signed her contract more than a year ago, there have been reports that the picture would be made with her. And in all proba- blllty the film will materiallze dur ing the coming year.
 II don't know anything about it," the actress declared. But then l naturally would be the last one to know. That's the way things al- ways work out around a studio. No, I wouldn't like to do it. I'm not at all suited for 1t and would

ss The hand illustrated to-day shows how q wisely selected irrcg- ular lead may be the only means or -.uefeating contract.
 When the opening leader decides to depart from established conven- ations he should take two things Unto consideration. First. is It likely that normal defense can defeat the contract? Second. Is there q fair s-chance that the contemplated ir- / regular lead can do so?

COUNCIL ACCEPTS
COMMITTEE PLAN
ON SCRIP ISSUE
RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT
MEETING LAST NIGHT IN
CONNECTION WITH CARRY.
ING OUT PLAN

City council at special meet
ing last night accepted the report
of the committee appointed tt
draw up plan for the issuance
of city scrip, and after the read
ing of the report, the council
agreed to proceed with the mat
ter after the reading and adop'
ton of a resolution in connection
Herewith.
The plan is to issue scrip in the
form of checks in SO cents anC
1 81 denominations, which is to BIZ
self -liquidating, not more thar
| $4,000 worth to be issued at any
one time.
Stamps are to be affixed or
the reverse side of the scrip, a 81
piece will carry spaces for 80 two
cents stamps, while a 50-cent one
will require so one cent stamps
these to be redeemed at face
value when the required number
of stamps have been placed.
The city treasurer will be Gus.
todian of all stamps and scrip is
sued, which will be taken care OF
from special trust fund. Each
time the scrip changes hands q
stamp win be affixed, and when
the full amount has been placed
the holder may take same to the
treasurer and have it redeemed by
the payment of cash in full as the
funds necessary for this will be
provided from the sale of stamps
This scrip win be issued to city
employees in lieu of money, and
in return the employee will pass
it out to merchants for the pur-
chase of goods with the merchant
in question passing it on in a
similar way. After rotating the
required number of times in the
purchase of various articles, with
the full quota of stamps attached
it then automatically becomes self
liquidating, finding its way back
to the treasurer of the trust fund
from which it originated.
When the first issue has been
self-liquidated, then another equal
amount will be placed on the mar
ket to run the same course as the
first, and will continue sub
sequently in the same way. In
the event that the city feels that
conditions warrant the issuance of
larger amount in the future, the
council will have the power to
proceed with same. but under no
circumstances will an amount be
issued in excess of that which can
be redeemed in cash whenever
the holder presents same for pro-
per liquidation.

INVITATION TO
FORMER KAISER

BERLIN, March 2s.--In the
midst of scattered disorders at
tending the beginning of the boy
colt against Jewish shops, the
town of Bad-Homburg issued an
invitation to former Kaiser Will
helm today to make his home
there if he should decide to re-
turn to Germany.
Representatives oflthe Hohen-
zollerns here said although there
had been much talk about the re-
turn of the kaiser, he expressed
no intention of comig back to
Germany.
Resentment was still keen at
publication abroad Of reports of
the persecution of German Jews.
The Nazi party prepared a gem
eral call to boycott Jewish stores
in retaliation, but it has not been
issued as a nationwide order.
