under which shop papers are issued,
when it is the workers themselves
who issue them Gas is the case here).
But we suggest that in future issues,
more political material be included,
for instance, the close tie-up OF the
Ryan gang with city politics-former-
" the Democratic gang, and now the
Fusionist. How about tackling the
question Of the S25 100000 graft suck
ed out of the waterfront workers
every year by the lila? How about
the Jim-Crow policies on the docks
tying this up skillfully with the
Scottsboro case? How about begin
ming to unfold an anti-war cam
paign? The longshoremen are han
ding munitions almost every day, and
Will, sooner than we think, be called
upon by the whole working class to
take political as well as economic &C
ton on the war question. We must
educate the workers all the time, and
not copfine their attention and &C
tivities to purely economic issues.
Good Technical Makeup
The technical makeup shows care.
The typing is fairly well done, the
pictures are good and well placed,
margins wide and attractive. Un-
fortunately one small detail destroyed
all this good work. The paper that
was used was so thin, that the print
from one side shows through on the
other, and a messy, blurred effect
is the result.
The paper shows that workers on
the dock are themselves active get
ting it out. That in itself is a first
class achievement. Now they can
improve the contents of their work
by casting about for some help in
editing it. They can get it from
unions with fighting policy which
have had experience in this work.
We recommend to this group that
they tie UP their work and activities
more closely with the Rank and File
Committee OF the A. F. of L., which
has Just opened its new headquarters
at ! Union Square. Here they can
get the benefit of the experience OF
opposition groups from all industries
and from all over the country.

nitted the war character Of the

recent annual report to Secretary OF
War Dern. Macarthur frankly
treated the G. G. G. as a military
weapon. plans prepared for the
emergency Of war were applicable
after rapid revision in some Of their
details, to most Of the problems that
arose.
ITO epitomize the military lessons
Of the 1888 mobilization, It has given
renewed evidence Of the value OF sys-
tematic preparation for emergency
including the maintenance of trained
personnel and suitable supplies and
the development OF plans and policies
applicable to mobilization. Par
ticularly has it served TO emptAffr-sss.. \
again the vital need for a strong
corps of professional officers and for
an efficient body Of commissioned
reserves.
ut is true that certain benefits
have accrued TO the army through its
administration OF the Civilian Con-
servation Corps project. Junior Off
GERS in particular have obtained valu-
able training in mobilization pro-
cesses and in leadership. Staffs have
been enabled TO test in practical way
certain phases Of theoretical plans"

PLAYERS as are available frcm the un-

find some one to fill the bill. Because
he makes money. the studio which he
directs can pick up some pretty high
class talent on some of our most i'm
portant lots hereabouts. His directors
aren't hampered by the old cry, You've
got to use so-and-so because we have
him under contract" Or "I know she
doesn't fit the bill, but she's getting
$500 a week and we've got to use her.
These are few of the reasons why a
man who was, few years ago, a
humorous figure in Hollywood's poverty

these days. He has just gone to Eng
land with Gilbert Miller to produce a
picture with Leslie Howard in the lead
role. .
If there's any money to be made In
American pictures made IN the Brit

own there-no doubt about that. But
he's made no statement about 1t, either,
and he'll come to no decisions until he
looks the ground ever for himself. And

practical basis that the Hollywood

~ VALlANT !, ALI e!',..I., D. DUsI ]:

Thus 1t was a moment not more than
an hour later than the time appointed
that he entered his council chamber,
attended by his son Raisul; his friend
and agent, the Senior Pedro Maligni;
his agents son, Mr.. Jules Maligni; his
confidential scribe and secretary, Abu
Taib Zerhoun; mighty Ibrahim the
Lion, his gigantic bodyguard, and the
stern and stalwart commander in chief
Of his fighting men, Mahommed Ali ell
Amin, Mahommed the Trustworthy,
Mahommed the Reliable.
Seating himself on a handsome, If
somewhat dirty, divan, the Kaid cour-
teously signifled his pleasure that the
others should be seated also and bade
Abu Talib, the scribe, go and inform the
visitor who had arrived yesterday ION
Senor Pedro's recommendation and per-
sonal guarantee) that the Kaid sat in
audience and would receive him.
ITO strangers and wayfarers be
kind saith the Koran" observed the
Kaid and laughed meaningly.
He is undoubtedly stranger-and
something of a wayfarer by now"
smiled Pedro Maligni, "as he has come
OBVIOUSLY hither from Germany by way
of Egypt, Tunis and Algeria"
"And shall undoubtedly be kind"
laughed the Kaid again.
A few minutes later the scribe re-
turned, accompanied by tall, thick
set, broad-shouldered man, dressed as
an Arab, his bearded face sunburned
and weather. beaten.
In Arab fashion and speech he sa-
luted and greeted the Kaid and the as
Sembled company.
The Kaid clapped his hands loudly.
Servants entered at the signal and were
hidden to bring coffee, mint tea and
cigarettes.
Perhaps, being a foreigner, our
guest would prefer strong drink Of the
foreigners?" inquired the Kaid cour-
teously.
The stranger signified that he would
be 10th to offend his hosts eyes and
delicate nostrils with the sight and
scent of the forbidden and abhorrent
drink.
The Kaid laughed merrily and the
stranger eyed him thoughtfully the
while.
We'll" said the Kaid, "as to that, I
can bear it, can bear it. In fact, to
speak the truth-which is ever pleasant
and natural to my lips-I have tasted
it Yea, sometimes drink it. And
yet, on the other hand, I do not drink
it; never drink it."
"A hard saying, Lord Kaid," unused
the stranger. "A riddle, in fact"
YES" agreed the Kaid. The solu-
tion Of the riddle being that my Holy
Mullah, most pious and learned man in
Mekazzen-yea, in all the counrty-yea,
in all Mogreb-blesses it, and straightA
way 1t turns to milk in my mouth!
Let us drink milk" he added.
In, the ensuing conversation and nego-
tiations the Kaid showed himself the
keen man of buSiness-the business of
war-the heredity, training and environ
ment had made him.
The visitor or emissary, on the other
hand, proved less competent and on the
few points upon which they differed
was. without great difficulty, outmaneu-
vered, overborne and defeated.

from Rossini's "William Tell" as danced
by Miss Moore at the Metropolitan
Opera in New York at her debut as
solo danseuse with the Metropolitan

by August Berger. Miss Moore will
also offer BLACK Eyes" Russian Gypsy
dance, and two backstage sketches,
"Amazon-188O," arranged by herself
and depicting the little drudge of the
corps de ballet as she goes through the
monotonouS routine Of endless rehear-
sal, and, by request, stage Fright" ar
ranged by Agnes De Mile.
It was in "Stage Fright" danced here

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 23-Now
| that Hollywood is in the grip of the
third producer move to straighten out
| its financial difficulties to the satisfac-
ton Of all (producers). am minded OF
a brief but meaty interview recently
had with Harry Cohn, the one man
who made money-a million dollars, to
be specific-in this last fatal cinema
year.
The latest producer move deals with
cameramen -a and with unicns - and
with contracts offered to cameramen.
! The contracts are for cne year, with q
slight increase on the option at the end
of that time-they have been offered
only to those extra-ab men who are
| kept busy all the time anyway, and
| they mean very little on the face OF
| it and a good deal on the deep-sea
angle. II the cameramen sign such
contracts, thereby throwing down their
unit as a whole and plunging into in
dividual competition, producers will be
! able to dictate terms to them at no
long-distant day.
| The first move was so per cent wage
cuts-the seeend central casting bu-
reau run by and for producers. The
lesser, or technical, employe of the
cinema world.
Yet one man made million profit
| last year after all expenses were paid
and made it under these same condi-
| tionS which put other studies in the
red Made 1t with camsramen getting
their union wage and with actors and
actresses being paid what they asked
writer's given what they were worth and
his executives getting fair proportion
of profit.
How come you made money when
every one else failed to do so last
year?" I asked Harry Cohn.
Blunt, nervous, more temperamental
! than any of the actors and authors he
employs, Harry Cohn jumped to his
| feet
1.-TWO things" he roared. mo long
list of contract players and no the
aters.''
Every one works on the Cohn lot
there are no Is authors to story, no
long list of relatives sitting around try
! ing to look important while they col
| lect enormous salaries, no elaborate
shenanigans and flimflam. Story con-
ferences often sound like dog fights
every one hollers at the top Of his
! lungs and the fellow who yells the
loudest often gets heard because he's
surs of his idea or he couldn't get up
the nerve and the strength to below
about it.

into the confinement of family SQUAD

beyond what they have ever done down
here and emerge as character actresses
who shine quite as brightly as the
stars"
Miss Givney is especially deft as
Helen Hallam. Caustic and attractively
frowsy, she manipulates herself gen
erously around that plate Of grapes and
carrot cake. Stamping about the
home of her in-Iaws as only middle
class virago can, Miss Givney presents
a picture that is truer than life. and
one which you must be sure not to miss.
Miss Munson, up until now blush
ing ingenue, suddenly proves that she
can tackle a battlc-ax role and make
it believable. Padded up and down be-
yond recognition, stuck into second
act dress that is quite as terrible as it
is meant to be, disguised beneath a
wig which only Hallam would tolerate,
she waddles around as she has never
waddled before and gets out her laughs
with will that is scarcely recognizable.
X y
This is not to say that other players
do not toe the mark. Another Lam
guage" being a nicely balanced and
IL Hallams has his or her inning Miss
its weave of tenderness, Mr.. Woods gives
IL its final note Of loyalty, Adelaide Hib-
bard shows how utterly selfish the head
of a family may be, and the others
round out the sometimes gay and always
fundamentally drab picture of an ordi-
nary middle-class family which Is too
lazy to do anything else but meet once
week to find out what the other fellow
is doing with understanding and care.
X X
One thing we missed and that Is that
particular moment when the gramo-
phone is played and Helen breaks in
with some kind of a comment or a
gesture which throws the picture nicely
out Of joint. We can't remember
Just what Miss Hamilton did in the
original, but we do remember that she
was terribly funny and that the audi
ence laughed for almost three minutes
steadily afterwards. What, now Direc-
tor Brooke" could that have been?
X
The whole family should, however,
enjoy this performance as much If not
more than anything the players have
offered. There is humor, pathos and a
touch Of everything that makes good
theater good in it. There is Forrest
Orr, giving his wife that eternal bird;
Karl Nelson, providing amusing side
lights; Romaine Calender, in a brief
but distinct character study, and a
newcomer, Bernice Bartl, who is splen-
did in the first act. All good-likewise
the setting for the first and last acts.
And then Miss Givney and Miss Munson
better than they ever have been before
What more could you want?
