HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 8.
Warner Brothers are giving a
long-term contract to the son of
one of the most famous matinee
idols of a few years ago.
He is Phillip Faversham, son Of
William Faversham, whose record
in the theater needs no recital
here.
It was back in college that
Phillip first took up acting. Later
he became a professional, and,
several months ago, was engaged
to play the juvenile lead in the
Los Angeles production of "An.
other Language"
From this part he went to War
ners to do a bit in Captured" a
picture now awaiting release.
When Warner sales executive pre-
viewed this film recently, they
singled out young Faversham for
high praise.
Then came the contract.
And now to crown his good
luck. the youthful actor has been

actor agents to cut in for a big
slice. Her contract with Radio
Pictures expires June IL, and
those who get her future services
will pay plenty. Joan Bennett
is winding up a contract with Fox
on which it is said she will col
lect $55,000, representing conces-
sions she made to the studio un-
der the rigid terms of the docu-
ment.
Joe E. Brown is a peculiar
movie star when it comes to draw.
He goes over big in the Washing
ton territory and in some spots
ranks next to Mickey Mouse as
a favorite with the kids. Yet in
Baltimore his picture, "You Said
Mouthful' was a terrific flop
and Broadway refuses to turn out
for the Brown features. In New
York Brown suffers because the
drama critics labeled him spuri-
GUS copy of Bert Lahr and he has
never been able to live down the
roasting of Lahr'S friends.
hope Jesse Lasky's Berkeley
Square" with Leslie Howard as
it's star, turns out as good as
Winnie Sheehan expects.
The reason I am Skeptical is
that at least SO per cent Of those
who saw John L. BalderSton's
play, Berkeley Square" came out
of the theater wondering exactly
what it was all about. The transi-
ton from bygone days to the
modern era was so puzzling a good
many drama lovers never quite
fathomed the imaginative story.
Such a puzZling yarn needs
considerable clearing up and a
more direct method of story tell
ing if movie fans are expected to
accept it.
These deep dish" movie stories
are big gamble. Director Rob-
ert Milton did a beautiful Job
with Sutton Vane's Outward
Bound" but it left many in
the screen audience dizzy trying
to figure it out. Others gave it
up as bad job and just put it
down as the effort of somebody
in Hollywood gone a little crazy
over the cultured arts. Outward
Bound" was a financial failure
although there are critics who
rank it as the finest adult movie
play ever turned out by Holly
wood.

ON THE FORTIETH floor Of
the famous Eagle building, Sam
Ganto paused for a moment be-
fore he opened the door that
led to his suite of offices. He
looked at the sign on the door,
and a smile Of contentment
crossed his face.
Flour Dealers Protective
Association" the sign read.
"Sam Ganto, President"
Loves His Office
The man flecked a bit of
dust from one of the letters
of his name, opened the door
snd stepped inside. The scene
was familiar, and one upon
which he loved to gaze. There
were several girls, all busily
engaged in answering corre-
spondence. The phone girl
was juggling wires. An elderly
man sat hunched over a ledger.
An office boy leaped to meet
him.
It was a busy office-and
Sam Ganto walked proudly
through the center of it. He
acknowledged the various good
mornings" with a royal gesture
and squeezed the shoulders Of
the prettiest of the girls. Then
'-e opened the door in the rear
and walked into his private Of
flee.
This was beautiful room;
an amazing place that was
marred only by the characters
it contained at the moment.
There were five of them pres
ent at the instant; and a
tougher looking group of mugs
could be found only on movie
set. They sat around the
room in various attitudes.
Sam Ganto gazed at them
for a moment and nodded
briefly. These were his Secre-
taries; the only difference be-
tween them and the girls out
side being that these workers
handled gats instead of type
writers-but they, too, worked
on the touch system.
Good morning, boys" he
smiled as he sat himself at his
desk and spat deftly into a
glittering cuspidor. Certainly
is a beautiful day."
His chief secretary-a bird
with squinty eyes who answered
to the name of Joe-looked
over at the boss.
Have Bad News
"Glad you like it, Sam," he
muttered. Better enjoy it right
away cause we got bad news for
you this morning. Lousy news"
Mr.. Ganto swung around in
his chair.
Yeah? What's wrong noW?"
Joe shrugged his shoulders.
Same old thing" he replied
easily. Another mob tryin' to

Two nights later, the police
had another mystery on their
hands. Sam Ganto was dead.
He had been slain and tossed
into the East River in a bag.

ANDREW R. Kelley -
The fellow most to blame for
censorship talk ought to be easy
TO pick out in Hollywood. He's
the lowlife who thinks no mo,
tion picture has a real "Sales
point" unless it contains at least
one smutty crack that will make
the feature talked about on
Broadway. But he completely
Rorgets that in the small towns
and where theaters thrive on
Family patronage such unneces-
Bary filth stirs up all kinds OF
adverse criticism. And I think
less of Una Merkel for permit
ting her voice to be used for
one Of the rawest cracks of 1888
thrust right into the middle Of
one of the seasons biggest screen
hits.
Walter Huston is one actor
whom I have never seen give a
Door performance on the screen,
or on the stage either. Yet he
ranks with George Arliss, Warren
William, Eddie Robinson and
Charles Laughton as completely
lacking in "It" following.
I trust it's a good sign. I mean
casting Adolphe Menjou for Di-
rector Monta Bells story Worst
Woman In Paris" For Monta
made his finest pictures with
Menjou. The suave Adolphe was
the star of "A Woman OF Paris"
which Director Bell made under
Charlie Chaplin's sup re rvision.
Then he picked up a budding
screen star called Norma Shearer,
again used Menjou, and turned
out Broadway After Dark"
which remains with me the finest
feature ever directed by the for
mer editor Of the Washington
Herald.
I have read so much about
Johnny Weissmuller hopping from
one night club table to another
and being the favored Of so many
sirens who admire his Apollo
physique I was wondering if he
ever intends to make another pic
ture. Or was "TarZan" just one
of those lucky mistakes.
Enough returns are in already
to indicate that Henri Carat is
not the box office partner for
Janet Gaynor that Charlie Far
rell was. Carat is better looking,
sings well and acts much better
than the shy looking Charlie Far
rell. Despite all these advantages,
the Gaynor-Farrell box office rec
ords will not be reached.
You'd think Winnie Lightner,
q good musical comedienne, would
be in demand right now that
melodious confectionery is the or
der for the screen. But she's not.
And Hollywood whispers it's be-
cause she took sides in a domestic
affair and tipped off the ag-
grieved wife of an executive about
an affair he was enjoying. Any
way, that's the story the Holly
wood stars who should know tell,
and they're all on the side of
Winnie, who is apparently being
punished for talking out of turn.

ESCAPE FROM THE SLUMS

recent United Press dispatch from Stockholm
remarks that the migration of workingmen to sub
urban homes in that city is going forward at a
rapid pace.
The city owns vast belt of ground surround
ing the city and it has leased building lots and pro-
vided paving, water and lights that low-prced
residential districts may be developed to take the
place of city slums.
AS result, Stockholm is enriched by a ring of
pleasant suburban settlements which have the
charm and quiet Of country towns, but which are
within the reach-hnancial and otherwise-of work
ers in the city factories

cities could look with profit. To be sure it sacks

UNITE AGAINST WAR-NOW

Now is the time for law-abiding nations to
stand together.
Japan has outlawed herself After breaking the
ninepower treaty the Kellogg pact, and the league
covenant by invading China and taking Manchuria,
she now has started her military drive against
Jehol and perhaps Peipng and Shanghai.
After seventeen months of waiting for the Japa-
nese to recover their balance, the League of Ma
tons definitely has accepted the American policy
of nonrecognition of Japanese conquest and has de-
manded that Japan retreat to her treaty territory.
Japan answers by walking out of the league, with
the final fling: I'VE are not coming back"
Anything may happen now in the far east
Meanwhile, Europe suddenly has drifted closer to
war than at any time since 1918. The seriousness
of the situation is reflected by the Franco British
utmatum to Austria over large secret shipments of
war material from Mussolini's Italy to Fascist
Hungary.
In Germany, the menacing figure of Hitler, in al
lance with Hindenburg and the Junkers and in
power at last, prepares for of revenge. Yugo-
slavia fears the long expected attack from Italy
and Rumania from Hungary as the Fascist alliance
covers Italy, Germany. Austria, Hungary and Bull
garia. France goes pumping money and NUM-
tons into her satellite states of Poland, Yugo-
slavia, Czechosovakia and Rumania making ready
for der tag.
If Japan starts fighting in Peiping Tientsn
blockades Shanghai-as she threatens-the dan
ger of American, British and other foreign lives
being lost and ships being sunk is very great What
might result from that foresee.
And as Japan continues to hold the attention Of
the great powers in the Pacific, Mussolini or some
other Fascist leader is apt to strike from the
in Europe.
In this emergency there is only one chance for
peace. That is complete united front by the pow
ers the basis of the treaties To date there have
been two breaks in that united front-breaks which
have encouraged the Japanese to further aggression
and have encouraged the Fascists of Europe
One the break in far eastern policy between
the United States on one side and Great Britain
and France the other. Now that break has been
repaired-ths is the tremendous significance of the
League of Nations action Friday.
The other break in the united front which en-
courages aggressive in the fast east and Europe
is the United States continued absurd efforts to
isolate Russia. American recognition of Russia
year ago would have done more than anything else
TO sober and stop the japanese. The Japanese i'm
perialists still hope they play Russia and the
United States against each other.
In the name of peace, the United States at once
should declare cooperation with the League of Ma
tons in the far east and recognize Russia With
out that united front the peace Of the world is not
worth much

Use Caution on Hospital Insurance

Finally, the financial backing of
the corporation selling the insur-
ance should be surveyed more
carefully than the financial state
ment of the bank.
A reserve capable of meeting
epidemic conditions is found in
few, if any, such insurance
schemes now being offered the
public.
THE mere fact that reputable
Il hospitals are participating in
such schemes is no indication Of
their reliability. The hospitals,
too, are like the drowning man
who grasps at the straw.
They are ready to grasp at any
possibility of holding their heads
above water during the period of
the financial depression.
What is most needed at this
time is a revaluation of medical
care. Let us correct distribution,
let us revaluate the services, but
let us not be drawn into any
scheme of expansion or imitation
because of our fright at what
must be temporary economic

statute books and with it goes the era Of hypocrisy
which inspired its passage.
It is matter of record that the legislature which

matter of record that every legislature since has
celebrated its closing sessions in similar manner
The law never curbed drinking. 1t never served
any purpose except to satisfy the desire OF the pro-

Just Plain Sense
BIZ MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE day has come when we must amend the
u old copybook line to read, now is the time
for all good to come to the aid of the country"
Yet it Is disqueting to observe the signs of G.
o. P. endeavor to harass the incoming administra-
ton. Already radio broadcastng has begun and
here and there issued grave warnings from Re-
publican leaders about putting ones trust in Demo-
cratic policies.
BY innuendo, by inference by ominous prophe-
cies, there arises insidous but subtle propaganda
that tends to break down what little hope may be
left in the hearts of the American people.
The sort of politics that has been built up in
this land Of ours is so vicious, unpatriotc, so
reprehensble that it casts shadow over the repu-
tation of even the most honest of our statesmen.
The truth is this: Unless we cooperate now,
we probably shall not have the chance TO do SO
again, at least for very long time. The month"; the
day, the very moment is here when Republicans
Democrats, Socialists, everybody must realize that
diSsenson will be fatal and that preservation of the
frail fragment of Americanism we still possess de-
ponds upon our limited efforts to keep it alive
WE can not afford to put one stone in the path
W of the President Elect or any Democrat who
may be going into Office. When we do, we simply
add confusion to the already miserably entangled
web of political blunders we have committed in
the past,
The Republican party has been in power for a
good many years. 1t has been the party of prestige,
of influence of wealth. Whether its mistakes have
contributed to our present predcament is a matter
OF personal opinion.
But certainly no Republican will be worthy to
hold osiee in the future unless he now uses every
means at his hand to help restore confidence and
hope to the people who so richly have rewarded
him in past campaigns.
To do otherwise marks him, not only as a
traitor, but migrate If the gentlemen of the
q. O. P. not willing to help let them keep still.
