1t This Miscasting?

Universal has been trying to get
Paul MUM to play the lead in
"Counsellor-at-Law," Elmer Rice's
fine play which will hit the screen
soon. Warner Brothers refused to
lend their star and so John Barry
more gets the role of the brilliant
Jewish lawyer.
Off the reel this looks like a
fine piece of miScasting. Holly
wood does these things for no
good reason except perhaps that
they get away with it. When they
put on Elmer Rice's Street
Scene" it was Sylvia Sidney who
was named to play the Irish hero
inc. For the Jewish boy they
picked a fine Irishman, young
Buster Collier. A few months
ago I saw a picture, Secrets Of
the French Police" Imagine my
astonishment when John War
burton, an English spoken and
acting juvenile, bobbed up as a
Partisan.
With 10000 actors in California
ready for an opportunity the
casting offices continue to make
these plumbers. I think Paul
Mum was made for the star role
in "Counsellor-at-Law," which he
played on the stage so magnifi-
Gently. Not being able to get him,
Universal might have sold the
play to Warner Brothers. Or they
might have corraled Edward G..
Robinson, another very versatile
actor, who would have been a
closer fit than the renowned
Barrymore.

The Carnera-Max Baer fisti-
cuffs before the camera produced
at least one thrill when the lum-
bering Venetian landed one un-
expected punch flush to Max's
chin. Max let out a yell and
laughed, but there was tension
there, reader, for a second.
Between shots, Camera relaxed
apparently unconscious of the 10
cameras aimed at the ring and of
the hundreds of stars, extra peo-
pie and press men in the TERED

bouncing off the ropes.

Pollock and Critics

Playwright Charming Pollock
doesn't like the New York critics
for they have ripped his dra-
matte brain children more often
then they have praised them.
Knowing Charming and his av-
ersion to the metropolitan crit
ical gentry 1 am not surprised
that he takes occasion to pay
them a little attention in his new
novel, "Star Magic" It seems
to me I can recognize a fellow in
the composite named Percy
Woollcott Nathan. AS Author
Pollock describes him:
"The wits at the Algonquin
called him the King Maker
and certainly Piper had done
more to make and break the
atrical regulations than any
other one man in America.
Dramatic critic for the most
important newspaper in New
York, that newspaper afforded
only one of his innumerable
outlets. Piper contributed to
magazines, too, and made
speeches and everything he
wrote was syndicated and re-
printed in dozens of other
newspapers throughout the
country. A great high-brOw, r.
ChandOs Piper, noted for his
knowledge of European drama
drama nobody else had ever
heard of, or cared about. Just
the same it made impressive
reading. Personally, Piper
wasn't impressive. A pudgy

day seeking support for the move
to petition President Roosevelt 20

The National Retail Drygoods
Association headquarters in New

members to support proposals for
the change.
Major department and dry
goods stores in Los Angeles gave
unanimous support of the idea.
Secretaries Of the two trade asso-
Citations reported their associations
were actively behind the proposal.
In the name of the downtown
association a letter was sent to
the President which said in part:
Thanksgiving, this year, ac-
cording to the usual custom, would
fall upon November S0th, the last
Thursday in November, which
would leave but 20 shopping days
before Christmas. The Thanksgiv-
ing to Christmas period is the
busiest retail period of the whole
year.
"The downtown association of
Los Angeles feels that Abraham
Lincoln's proclamation of 1864
setting aside a day for each
Thanksgiving to be the fourth or
last Thursday in November of
each year, can be carried out to
the letter by designating in your
Thanksgiving proclamation this
year, November 23rd, the fourth
Thursday in November as the day
of Thanksgiving"

would start Christmas shopping

REPEAL WILL
RENEW EVILS
Junior Order Hears Rev.
Ford, J. 7. Fain in
Tuxedo Addresses

TUXEDO, Oct. 13.-Thursday
evening at the Tuxedo school
building the Rev. William Her
schel Ford of Hendersonville made
a ringing address on prohibition,
which was heard by large audi
ence, including a body Of men,
bers of the Junior Order. D. G.
Wilkie, member of the order and
one of the leading citizens of the
community, presided in the meet
ing and introduced the speakers.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by the Rev. M. L. Lewis,
and the closing prayer was made
by Victor E. Rector of Hender-
sonville. The Osteen string band
made good music for the occasion,
and following Mr.. Ford's address,
Miss Mamie Perry of Henderson
vile sang in a most impressive
manner, Somebody Voted to
Ruin My Boy" J. T. Fain, editor
of The Times-News, made a short
talk concluding the program.
In his speech the Rev. Mr.. Ford
showed that the fight against the
liquor business is as old as CIV
ilization in this country; that
nothing was "put over" on the
American people when the 18TH
Amendment was adopted; that it
came as the result of more than
ESQ years opposition to the liquor
traffic; that prohibition has been
reasonable success and that le-
galization of the liquor traffic
again will bring all the evils which
characterized the traffic in the
past. He showed what the legal
lied traffic was before prohibition,
and charged his hearers that they
will be morally responsible for
whatever happens through legal
ization of the traffic again, if they
vote for that.
Mr.. Fain said that the vets
come right along with the drys in
admitting the evils of the liquor
traffic up to the point where they
claim that prohibition has failed
and that they want to control
liquor. He said that the United
States prohibition enforcement
bureau estimates that consump-
ton of alcoholic beverages in this
country has been reduced by two
thirds under prohibition. and if
that is failure prohibition has
failed.
The speaker also said that the
fight against the Amendment and
against State prohibition laws was
started and has been maintained
by the brewers and distillers, put
out of business by prohibition and
determined to get back into bust
ness, aided and abetted by rabid
vets; and that the country has
been propagandized into a condi-
ton in which the Amendment is
going to be repealed by consider
ably less than half the votes of
the country, probably by around
one-third Of the actual number of
voters. The dry fight in North
Carolina, the speaker said, is now
to maintain State prohibition.

Bond Refunding
Plan To Require
Until Next April
Seen as Warning to Con-
gress Not to Tamper
With Currency
By RICHARD L. GRIDLEY

BY RlCfAKD l.. INibLLi
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (UP).
The decision to refund nearly
$2,OOO,OOO,0G9 of fourth Liberty
Loan bonds was interpreted in
some quarters last night as a
warning to inflationists that the
White House will not tolerate a
tampering with the currency at
the next session of congress.
Success of the giant refunding
operation is contingent upon a
"sound money" program. Hold
ers of called bonds are being
asked to accept new bonds bear
ing a lower rate of interest.
The program will not be COM
pleted until next April. Thus,
administration leaders will be in
a position to influence initiation
agitation in congress by emphas-
izing that expansion of the cur
rency might result in bond hold
ers demanding cash and thus
frustrating the refunding opera
tons and jeopardizing the credit
of the government. Although re-
ports were slow in coming in to
the treasury because of the Co.
lumbus day bank holiday in many
states, officials were confident
investors would assure success of
the first part of the govern
ment's new monetary program.
The government, however, has
an effective weapon to induce
mond holders to exchange their
bonds for lower-interest bearing
securities. This is a clause in
the Thomas amendment to the
farm bill which permits the gov
eminent to meet maturities on its
public debt by printing United
States notes, or greenbacks, and
paying them to bondholders
Officials said this procedure
would be followed only as a last
resort. The governments finances
are expected to improve steadily
throughout the winter as result
of a revival in trade and liquor
taxes after repeal. -.
Meantime, "sound money
announcement from President
Roosevelt is expected momen-
tarily.
