Exit Miriam and Enter
 Gay Mimi = My Ho,u that
 Jordan Girl Has Changed
By RoBBIN COoNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal. July 29.- Miriam Jordan, aloof. dignified and very lady-like English blond, has been thrown into the cinematic discard by Mimi Jordan, capricious hoyden.
 Minis first step in the over throw of Miriam was to have Mir jams long golden tresses shorn into a winsome golden bob. Her second was to replace Miriams seeming cold reserve with Minis sparkle.
 The transformation, for screen purposes, is complete. There is as much. difference between Miriam and Mimi as there is in the names.
 Too Much the Lady
 Long hair explained Mimi, made me too much the lady on the screen. I was typed as the chilly blond, for what reason I don't know have sense of humor, and I saw no reason for hiding it. With long hair I was doomed to be the lady; with bob bed hair I can still play the lady, but won't be banned from other roles
 But Mimi, like Miriam, continues to pursue her solitary way through the romantic rumor -fraught gaiety of filmland. She has a determined attitude against romantic rumors, and insists she would rather be alone than run the risk of becom- ing engaged" in the gossip col umnS. a
 And This Is Why
 There is reason Mimi is al- ready engaged. There's a young man in New York. She doesn't tell his name.
 "It isn't fair to man." she says, ito use him for movie pub- licity. I never will When we get married, I'm leaving pictures. No, there isn't any date set. He wants me to have my fling at a career before we marry"
 In Hollywood, when an actress is seen "out" with a man twice, or even once, romance rumors fl5 Mimi wants none of them. She doesn't mingle in the best movie circles" She isn't interested Ill movie people.
 My friends are the people who work round the set, seldom the other players. I've never been out in the evening in Hollywood-ex- cept once in a while I go to a movie with Ray Jones, the pho- tographer, and his wife. They have a darling baby. The rest of the time I stay by myself, reading. When I go to the beach, I take my dog. and have a grand time, all by myself"

SPLENDID FILM OF CHAIN GANG!
 OPENS SUNDAY
T Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang with Paul
 Muni, Shown at Capitol

1 T Am, Fugitive from a Chain Gang" a Warner Bros. picture starring Paul Muni, which will be previewed at the Capitol Theatre tonight and open at the regular performance Sunday, is a striking ly picturesque and realistic picture of wellbred mans experiences as a convict on a chain gang, with all the attendant thrills of two .es- capes in which the prisoner is pur- sued by armed posses and blood hounds.
 Not only is it said to carry more thrilling and sensational episodes than many screen dramas, but it presents triple romance of strange and glamorous loves. The picture is based on the novel by Robert E. Burns which caused so much com ment recently, because of the in credible revelations of chain gang prison life.
 Suffers Tortures
 Driven to desperation py the tortures of the whipping post and other cruelties, the fugitive, DOT trayed by Muni, makes his escape and crosses to another state after almost unbelievable hardships. He made good under new name only to be betrayed by woman. He is returned to the chain gang only to escape again in one of the most exciting man hunts the screen has recorded in years.
 There is no more touching fig ure imaginable, than this fugitive, yearning for love and home, skulk- ing from place to place, not daring to show his face, a man without country. Paul Muni, the famous ..ssScarface" of the screen, and not ed for his fine interpretation of character on the stage, is said to give his best performance as this fugitive.
 Glenda Farrell, who made such a hit in Life Begins plays the role of the woman who betrays Burns, while Helen Vinson, is his real love. Preston Foster, Edward Mo Namara, Sheila Terry, Allen Jen- kins and David Landau head a supporting cast which is one of the largest ever seen on the screen. There are 37 speaking roles, 53 bit parts and more than 2,O00 extras. The screen play was adapt ed by Sheridan Gibney and Brown Holmes and directed by Mervyn LeRoy.
 Miss PinkertOn" Tonight
 Joan Blondell, as a little nurse, whose cleverness as sleuth leads the police to call her in on a diff ficult case, with her subsequent solving of the mystery, gives an excellent performance in Miss Pinkerton,' her first starring pie ture, which appears at the Capitol Theatre tonight. The mystery fea- ture is taken from the exciting nov el by the same name, written by Mary Roberts Rinehart, which ap- peared serially in the Saturday Evening Post. Miss Blondell has a splendid supporting cast in this entertaining feature.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The deep
seated importance of the construction
industry to the country's economic we'll
being is indicated by the fact one-tenth
of the workmen engaged In manufacture
are normally employed in the manufac-
turing of building materials, equipment
and supplies.
This figure was presented in recent
issue of Engineering News-Recoro by
e. ]. Mehren, president of the Portland
Cement Association.
Preliminary data of Mr.. Mehren's sur
vey show nearly ,000, 900 men were so
engaged in 1929. The normal pay roll
total is about 81 800, 100000. These fig
ures do not include men working on
construction projects.
MANY States considered negligible in
the general industrial picture show up
heavily as producers of construction
materials" reports Mr.. Mehren. Thus
we find Mississippi. with $4,000 en-
ployes, Louisiana with $4,000, Oregon
28, 900, and Washington with $4,000,
riding high above Massachusetts,, which
has $4,000 employees, and Missouri with
$1,000.
"The paradox in this group is attrib-
utable to lumber and timber products,
In which the South and Northwest pre-
dominate.
Alabama combines steel with her
lumber production to rank high as a
construction supplier Connecticut out
ranks her northern neighbor, Massachu-
set6s. by virtue of her hardware and
other metal manufactures. California
and Minnesota totals are swelled by
lumber production.

I'm the thousands of years man has
been building on this earth, he has
discovered certain practical fact: about
construction that time can never
change, because they are part and par

The fact that we still use wood, bricks,
