Debate Challenge Sent By
Matthaei to LANCER Aide
Would Argue Truth and Cor.
roctnoss' Of Statements In
Harvey Speech

FeS0enoen, ~. d. April 6-Re
State Senator w. Z. Matthaei Of Ees-
sender has challenged James Null
10y, secretary Of the state industrial
commission, TO q series Of five or
more debates In Wells county On the
truth ana correctness" Of his sepa-
rate report as compared with the
majority report Of the capitol tnves-
tigation committee Of which the sen
ator was chairman.
Matthaei, In . letter 10 Mulloy
made public here, declared the In
dustrial commission secretary criti-
cised his position Is . member Of the
investigating committee In Q recent
speech ct Harvey. The senator
charged Mulloy's reported remarks
were ,"unjustifiable."
1T Is my understanding that you
also made statements to the effect
that during the past legislative ses-
sion ! opposed the administration ct
every turn Of the road" Natthaei's
letter said.
II challenge you to debate the
truth and correctness of my separate
report g compared with that Of the
majority report Of the investigating
committee, and also whether or not
I opposed the administration ct every
turn Of the road for the purpose Of
embarrassing II. I would suggest that
We have . series Of five or more de-
bates at different points In Wells
county. including Harvey and Fes-
sender, and that the mayor OF the
president Of the town board preside
during these debates. After these
debates, let the people Be the Judge
Of the truth or falsity Of your allega-
tions."

Senator w. z. Matthaei, Thursday
said that II recall petitions are cir
culated against him he Is prepared
to discuss fully al matters Of dif-
ference between myself and those
who are responsible for desiring to
bring about my recall"
Commenting on reports that recall
| petitions have been sent from BiS-
marck 70 Wells county for circulation
against him, Matthaei said he believed
the reason to be his opposition to cer-
tain proposals In TIL. recent Legislative
session. He represented the 33rd leg
islative district which comprises Wells
county.
"From newspaper reports" he said,
"the secretary Of the industrial COM
mission (James Mulloy) has drawn
petitions and sent them to Wells
county demanding that . special elec-
ton be called to recall me q state
senator Of the 33rd legislative dis
trict.
"The reason Is because I opposed
the majority report Of the capitol in
Ivestigating committee. tho proposed
printing commission. the new indus
tries ct the penitentiary, the sales tax
and the scrip bin. I an still Of the
opinion that my position On these
questions was correct and that every

washington, April 0.-R-A de-
cision between Q 30.hoir and . BE-
hour restriction faced the Senate
Thursday as it neared q final vote on
q measure which would shorten the
work week in industry 30 as to spread
employment.
Robinson Of Arkansas. the Demo-
cratic leader. proposed changing the
limit in the bill sponsored by Senator
Black Dem., Ala) from 80 to 80
hours. He said he thought 1t would
be acceptable to President Roosevelt
But he stirred up opposition and
there was no indication as to which
restriction might prevail. The Black
measure would prohibit the movement
in interstate commerce Of mine and
factory products on which labor wa
employed more than five days q week
or six hours 3 day. Speaker Rainey
said the house would not consider
the revolutionary proposal unless 1t
were made . part Of the Roosevelt
program.

Who Is First Lady?

Who is the First Lady Of the
Screen? Well, George Jessel dis
regards recent film history and
says Norma Talmadge. That opens
up the book and those who still
favor Mary Pickford may have q
vote. On the Warner Bros. lot
they tackled the title on Ruth
Chatterton. If we consider the
most talked about and envied
screen star, it would be hard to
ignore Greta Carlo.
If I owned a motion picture
theater which had a stage show
and had a chance to play the
First Lady of the Screen-as the
box office would nominate her
my choice would be Marie Dress
Ter. My second choice would be
Zasu Pitts. AS the No. male
screen star would accept
Norma Talmadge's selection, Lilo
mel Barrymore. 1t would be a toss
up between John Barrymore and
Clark Gable for second choice.
If Hollywood stars had a
chance to vote on the First Lady
Of the Screen-in so far as act
ing ability goeS-I don't think it
would be close. Helen Hayes
would win in walk.

into a rather nice little offering.

suffer by comparison.
Reggie C"Tassels") White, dark
body-twisting dancer, and Oar.
lin Lucky (only burlesque could
think up such nameS) who is an
other importation cavort to the
satisfaction Of the customers.
If the comic situations were as
good as the comedians, or if the
skits were not so old, it would be
fun indeed. For example, the
numbers called "Snake Bite -
Red Vest Scene" Putting on the
Dog" "Cut and Bleeding Scene"
Reform Bit" and Mistaken
Identity" have all been seen before
on the same stage. THE Mistaken
Identity" scene bears repeating,
though.
Again we see "Bimbo" Davis,
Joe Yule, Charles LaVine, and
Lee Hickman, and again they are
good. LaVine, this week shows
much ability as a character man,
too. Bob Sandberg, one Of the
best straight men in burlesque
and Bobby Whalen, singer, are
still on hand.

Snatcher," his latest, was pre-
viewed in New York, it was with
out a couple of scenes wherein
Alice White is mauled for good
reason. Cagney happens to be
Broadway's No. l star for War
ner Bros. and Broadway likes
him tough. So a Geographic re-
quest went to Hollywood asking
for a couple of socko scenes.
Accordingly the new sequences
with a punch were inserted.
incidentally, the Photographic
scoop which Mr.. Cagney accom-
plishes in picture Snatcher,"
(now at the Metropolitan was
inspired by a real life incident.
A New York tabloid sneaked a
camera into the Sing Sing death
house and the execution of Ruth
Snyder was caught for the front
page.
Personally, I think Jimmy Gag
ney should stop imposing his will
with his fists lest he lose all
matinee appeal. I mean women
generally resent seeing the sex
abused, and some male customers
feel that way, too. Cagney is too
good an actor to be niched as a
pugnacious brawler. He's too YER
Satile to be typed and deserves a
chance to be a tanner Romeo.

AS a boy he had the usual run
