been laughed out of it by the

past generation WiSecrackerS,
egged on by safety razor manufacturers.
mo gentleman was properly rigged
without his beard" Lionel declares. I'm
fact, a man wasn't man if he didn't
have one"
The favorite brands of whiskers. as
Lionel recalls them, were the Brigham
Young part-in-the middle muff, the
Vin Dyke, without which no profess
sional man could uphold dignity; the
square spade beard, still affected by
certain diplomats; the round swath Of
chin whiskers of Irish origin, the
goatee of the Kentucky colonel, the
Franz Joseph whiskers Of shoulder
width, the Uncle Sam beard of the
farmers and the scraggly virgin stubble
of the youth aspiring to manhood.
Everything was all right with whisk-
ers until some smart-alec invented a
game called beaver and had all the
street urchins shouting after the prom
enaders along Fifth avenue" Lionel
says. Then along comes song writer
with a funny jingle about the wind
through his whiskers' to make the
bearded gentry still more uncomfortable
"I remember distinctly that a clean
shaven man was looked upon with sus-
picion in those days until it got to be

YAMES CAGNEY is about to return

true. The red-headed star Of
~ Picture Snatcher," according to
this advance information, will be
cast by the Warner studies in one Of
the principal roles of "Footlight Pa
rade,p new musical film now in prepa-
ration, and in the course of the picture
he will do lot of dancing.
Now this will be an assignment after
Cagney's own heart. He began his
stage career as a dancing chorus boy in
a musical comedy called ''Pitter Patter,"
produced by the Shuberts some 10 years
ago or more. Later he became hoofer
in vaudeville and kept at 1t for five
years. 1t was tough going, his tours
embracing chiefly the tank towns but
the consolation to Jimmy was that he
was dancing. With his advent to
Broadway his fancy stepping began to
play subordinate part in his profess
sional activities. Since he has been in
pictures he has had only one oppor-
tunity to trip the light fantastic; that
was in Taxi" in the sequence showing
the dance contest in the 10-cent ball
room, and Jimmy enjoyed every minute
Of it.
He twirls a mean toe. Loretta Young,
who was his dancing partneras well as
his leading woman in Taxi" says he
is the best partner with whom she has
ever waltzed or fox-trotted, and Loretta
| is a severe judge of matters terpsi-
chorean.
Friends of Cagney are aware that he
dances when he is happy, also when he
| Just has a spare moment or two and
| doesn't know how to fill it otherwise.
| Also he has been known to shuttle
| gracefully when he was worried and his
! mind was far away. Ever since he has
| been in Hollywood he has gone from
time TO time to teacher of stage dane
ing who has an establishment there
Just for the fun of it, and. as Cagney
says himself, ito keep his feet in train
ing" Dancing is in his blood.
Another client Of that same dancing
instructor, by the way, is Alice White
Alice, too, is dancer of no mean
ability. Some of her first successes on
the screen were in musical picture:
when they had their great vogue foul
years ago, notably Broadway Babies
Now that Alice has come back to pic
lures and has braved the Cagney
punches in Picture Snatcher." 1t is no
impossible that the two players vii
find themselves working on the same
set once more, though up to the presen
time Miss White has not been men
toned in connection with "Footligh

Governor Ritchie proposed the
additional men to care for un-

Industrial Corporation, operating
a million-dollar plant here, with
a force of 500 employees, were
preparing today to fight to the
end the suit of the Du Pont Gel
lophane Company, which alleges
the local concern is infringing
their patent to make waterproof
transparent paper for wrappings.
The suit was filed yesterday at
Richmond.
While officials of the Sylvania
company would only say that
they operate under a grant of
American rights on a Belgian
patent and would contest the at
tempt to put them out of busi-
ness, others familiar with the
company's affairs said that from
$10,000,000 to $20,000,000 was in
volved, as we'll as the life of the
local plant and that the COM
pany was lining up for a legal
battle.
The Sylvania company built
the plant here four years ago
and began operating about three
years ago with machinery and a
skeleton crew brought from Bel
gium, where they had previously
made their product. The COM
pany got it's goods on the mar
ket just as the new type of
wrapping began to grow popular
and has sold it's maximum out

FACES FIGHT IN

Both Houses of Legislature
Have Rival Tax Measures;
Baldwin Leads Opposition

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-With in.
PRODUCTION in both houses of the
Legislature of the adlninistra,
tion's bill to allocate gasoline
taxes, the fight between support,
ers of the governor and those
who uphold the opposition tax
measure came out into the open
today.
Administration leaders, led by
T. Barton Harrington. house
speaker; E. Brooke Lee. member
of the State Roads Commission,
and Senator Lansdale G. Sascer
CD of Prince Georges county,
Who introduced the Sel4ate bill,
contend that less than one-third
Of the Legislature will favor the
opposition measure.
Governor Ritchie'S bill would
allocate to Baltimore 80 per cent
OF the gasoline taxes and motor
vehicle revenues. 1t differs some
what from his proposals in his
message to the legislature. 1t
provides that county roads be
maintained by the State roads
commission, but that the county
commissioners may recommend
the road work and that county
employees and equipment must be
used in so far as possible.
The opposition measure, spon-
sored by H. Street Baldwin, Balti-
more County delegate, provides
that county commissioners ex-
pend the funds and have full
control over them and the roads.
