Sin

All of which formed the basis
for my amaZement at that tea
dance this afternoon. The large
room was crowded with girls
and women who. only 10 years
ago. would have committed an
objectionable sin if they had
permitted these same men to
gaze upon their faces. much less
hold them in the postures of
the modern dance.
The period of time is so small,
and the difference is so great.
The women are not particularly
pretty and, with their new
found freedom, they are en-
ploying so much paint and pow
der that they make themselves,
in many cases, positively ugly.
It will evidently take them
many years yet to learn how
cosmetics should be properly ap-
piled. How's thai. grille?
Regardless of the paint and
powder, however, there's a GER
tain sense of satisfaction in the
whole business. AS I sat among
these women. l found myself
wishing I could talk Turkish
not Turkey-to a few of them.
I wanted to ask questions.
How did it feel to be freed
from a religious law that made
them and their female ances-
tors little less than slaves? How
did they act when they cast
away their wells and appeared
on the streets for the first time
without them? How long did
1t take before the natural shy
ness was a thing of the past?
And I longed for something
else, too. When 7 was through
with my questions, wanted the
same woman to be able to ask
me some.

What a CagefuI!

The animal cage attracting
more attention than any other
during the filming of "King of the
Jungle" was that containing two
tiger cubs, two leopard cubs, one
lion cub, and two Boston bull
pups. It was the liveliest on the
set.

French Is Spoken

To make matters still worse,
there is a small slot beneath the
screen on which the dialogue
that is spoken in French is
written out in Turkish. The
slot works only on occasions,
and there are frequent, long
stretches of dialogue that mean
nothing to those who do not
understand French.
All in all, though, the audi
ence seemed remarkably good
natured about the entire presen-
tation. They grew a trifle rest
less on those occasions when the
Turkish writing was flashed be-
meath the screen for too short
a period, but they stood for far
more than an American audi
ence would have done in a SINH
lar position.
It was interesting to listen to
their reactions. They recognized
the phoney parts of the Tar
Zan picture just as quickly as
an American audience and, in
certain spots, even more quickly.
They laughed and applauded in
the first portion of the picture
when Tarzan smacked the girl
around-but they seemed highly
disappointed when he was on
the verge of attacking the girl,
and suddenly changed his mind.
That makes them first cousins
to all American audiences.
Aside from the feature, the
balance of the program was
practically the same as we are
accustomed to in our programs
in America. There was COM
edy short without a single, soli-
tary Sunderland a newsreel of.
fering that showed us Musso-
lini, warship maneuvers, skiing
in the Swiss Alps, a number of
airplanes in formation and a
set of schoolboy musicians in
action.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal. Feb. 20.
Yesterday morning in Berlin,
Herr Emil JanningS received q
cablegram which must have given
him uncommon pleasure 1t was
an urgent summons to return to
Hollywood, which once hailed
him the greatest of them all, but
which soon forgot him in the
cacophony of the early talkies.
Now Charles r. Rogers wants
the German star to como Lack to
play the lead in "Hock Shop" a
story about foreign paUnbroker
who becomes power in a big
Fifth Avenue jewelry store. In
this part, Herr Jannings' accent,
or what remains of it after his
recent studies in English. will not
be out of place.
AS the portly actor also has an
offer to do a New York play,
Rogers hopes he can be persuaded
to make the journey to This coun-
try.
dOck SnOp Will De INe pro-
ducer's eighth and last picture
under his present agreement with
Paramount. Like all the other
Rogers pictures, but "7O.GOO Wit
nesses," it is a screen original,
the authors being two fan maya
zine writer's, Charles Beloen and
William Ullman, jr. Elliott Nu-
gent will direct.
If Jannings does the picture, 1t
will be his first English talkie.
In December, 1926, he arrived
here to work for Paramount and
left in the early summer of 1929.
His last silent films was Sins of
the Father" in which Ruth Chat
terton also appeared.

Enter. Mr.. Kennel

Enter Kennel Pasha who, by
a series of forced moves, en-
trenched himself in the hearts
Of the Turks.
"The old Turkey is finished"
he cried. From now on we
will live for the new Turkey;
the Turkey of the future. We
are going to rebuild, and we are
going to rebuild by employing
common sense"
I'm afraid that many of the
ideas that fell under Pasha's
heading of common sense are
doing the country more harm
than good. Turkey is now for
the Turks alone, they declare,
and they now want nothing
foreign around the place.
In decreeing that the women
of Turkey need no longer be
veiled, however, a very radical
step III the right direction was
effected. That may not sound
like q tremendous thing to us
Americans who have little
knowledge of what the other
conditions were. But let me
assure you that after studying
such a country as Tunis, where
the old beliefs are practiced re-
1igiously, I can see that Kennel
Pasha has done a great deal by
this one, bold stroke.
The decree, of course, created
plenty of trouble and earned
many enemies for the head of
the Turkish republic. There
were mutterings and rumblings
and grave fears of immediate
reprisals from an offended God.
But the months turned into
years, and nothing happened.
The younger women cast off
their wells almost Immediately,
and it wasn't long before the
elder women were following
suit.
The Washington times., 1933-02-20

question me about some stupid
conditions in my country" I
wanted her to say. "but how
about your own nation? How
about the Stupidities of your re-
ligious prejudices? How about
your blue laws that are still
being enforced in many sections
of America?
Our Problems
"How about the Mooney
case? How about the laws
against gambling while Wall
Street has always been per-
mitted to run wide open? How
about a film censorship that
permits old fools to do as they
will? How about so many
things? And, above all, how
about prohibition?"
I couldn't have answered
those questions. But it might
have done me lot of good to
have heard them.
In the evening, while stroll
ing through the city, I came
upon a theater that was ad-
vertising a special, four-star,
advance, sensational showing
of that mighty jungle thriller"
"Tarzan of the Apes" I'll
bet it would have given Johnny
Weismuller quite a kick to see
himself advertised all over the
front of a Constantinople the
ater.
Just to get an idea of how
foreign audiences reacted to
the jungle type of picture, I
plunked down two Turkish h
pounds and was promptly es-
corted to seat in a loge. Two
Turkish pounds being the
equivalent of a dollar in our
money, you can readily see
that the Turks are no pikers
when it comes to charging for
motion picture entertainment.
What I saw was the version
of "TarZan" that had been
dubbed in ench. There
wasn't too much talk in the
original "Tarzan," so the re-
suit wasn't too bad. When
they get a drama here with
plenty of dialogue, however,
the results must be awful. You
have but to watch the lips of
the actors for a scene or two
in order to know that the
thing is phoney. And that will
ruin any talking picture in the
world

TO BE TRANSFERRED

Rev. Howard D. Simpson will return
to Eureka July II to arrange his af-
fairs before being transferred to Arco,
Idaho, about July 25 Rev. Marsh Of
Arco will exchange places with him.
Rev. Simpson is known to many of his
co-workers as the best colporteur in
Montana; Rev Marsh has equally good
references from Idaho.
The Idaho church has wanted Mr..
Simpson as colporteur for over year,
but he was unable to transfer before
because of his health. He did, how
ever, find time to organize a church
at Pine Grove, Idaho, last year.
During his stay here he has built
up the local church and has organized
churches in Rexford and Fortine. His
work in the Yak, Deep creek and
other surrounding districts has been
tirelessly conducted with very salts
flying results. His many friends here
hope that he and his family will find
time to visit them often in the future.

AMERICA In A BLOODLESS
REVOLUTION.

The thoughtful person who has KEEP
somewhat in touch with social trend:
for the past 10 or Is years easily real
ICES today that the nation is in the mids
of a bloodless social revolution The
movement has been facing toward :
new social order for a number Of
years and the depression has giver
it added momentum. Just what the
outcome will be no one is wise enough
at the present time to say. But tha
this nation Is to witness drastic
changes in social organization is nov
generally accepted.
William Allen White, famous Kansas
editor, reporting. the world economic
conference from London, recognizes
this condition and said in a recent dis
patch:
1T is becoming more obvious
every day as President Roosevelts
domestic program is understood
here that we are going into a mild
form of sugar-coated fascisn, that
industry is passing out of individ-
ual control and that Great Britain
and the United States are doing
under threat of bankruptcy what
Russia did through bloody revo-
lution-socialize industry and CAPT
tai.
The successful "socializing" of in
dustry and capital requires brains o
the highest order and an honesty AM
integrity that cannot be swayed b,
personal considerations # Americ
can accomplish such drastic revolu
ton as the specialization of industr,
and capital without the usual spillini
of much blood, it will speak volume
for our form of government. Hereto
fore. too often the common man ha
had to fight through years Of blood
shed to obtain more justice for him
self. IF today better order of societ.
can be worked out through peaceful
revolution, the American form of gov
eminent will have successfully passe
supreme test And some of the bes
thinkers of today are confident tn
United States will meet that test il
manner worthy of her past attain

SHOULD BE GIVEN BIG
APPROPRIATION.

The public works bill enacted by
congress provides $500, 100000 for high
way construction. Announcement OF
the apportionment of this sum to the
various states was made last week. VI
this amount Montana gets S7,439,748.
The chief purpose of the public
works enactment is to provide work
for men unemployed and thereby help
to lift the depression. With this object
in view, certain stipulations are laid
down that must be met in part or in
whole by projects to be financed by
this money.
It is interesting to observe that the
Kootenai Falls project on the Libby
Troy-State Line highway meets a
number of these stipulations, as fol-
lows:
1t is a federal aid highway outside
of municipality.
Its completion would help in the
closing up Of gap in the federal aid
system.
It would be the widening of a narrow
and dangerous highway.
It would provide work for number
of men who are now without labor.
To those could be added many other
factors that should place this project
in line for the immediate starting of
construction.
Surveys are all completed contrac-
tors bid has been accepted and the
contractor Is ready to, move onto the
job.
Work is being taken away from local
men by the establishing in this dis
trict of c. c. G. forest camps. This
project would help to set right that
injustice by providing labor to men
who need it badly.
The Kootenai Falls project is a vital
part Of federal highway No which
is one of the two most important high
ways across the state.
Of lao odd miles that are uncom-
pleted on this highway over 80 mile.
of 1t are in Lincoln county.
Previously $4,000 had been appro-
priated for this work, largely in order
that relief might be provided for men
out of work. For one cause or another
that work has not been done and the
unemployed in this district have suf-
fered accordingly
Viewed from every angle Of reason
and right this project should be given
large appropriation from the seven
million dollars that Montana has OBJ
tanned for highway construction.
In certain parts of the state stand
Hardized roads-far better than any
thing we have in this section-are be-
ing torn up and rebuilt while we con-
