5000 Extras to
Get the Axe

WOOD, Sept. 10
G.N.SD MIRA code authorities
plan to lop 5000 motion picture
extras" from the rolls of the
Hollywood Central Casting Blu
reau, according to information re-
ceived today by Campbell Mac
Cullough, bureau manager.
The casting bureau is main
tanned by a group of major movie
studios. THE committee on code
of the State Department of IN
dustrial Welfare requested a copy
of our registration rolls two
months ago. At that time we
had 1900 extras on our books, ;"
MacCullough said. II am not &C
quainted with the situation to my
own knowledge as haven't been
in charge of the bureau long
enough.
But I was informed by a men,
Der of my staff today that the
code committee plans to cut the
registration to 5000. and there
may be a second cut which would
bring the final total substantially
under the 5000 mark"
Objective of the committee is
to stabilize motion picture en-
ployment. by pruning the field Of
extras to a point where those re-
naming can make regular
livelihood.

musical, Danes" now showing at
Warmers Earle Theater.
When ZaSu Pitts first came to
Los Angeles, over a decade ago,
she was very young and full of
illusions. One Of them was that
she could become a splendid
criminal investigator. ZaSu had
read about the exploits of Sher-
lock Holmes, and was convinced
that she should make sleuthing
her life work.
Los Angeles, she reasoned, being
a large city, should have plenty
of crime-much more than Santa
Cruz, California, her home town.
Her efforts to get job with de-
tective agencies proving fruitleSS,
zaSu turned to the movies.

Even so, the salesman's victory
is a Shortlived one. Usually he
finds that the star or featured
player has no money available
for the first payment and can't
write a check for it, even if the
necessary money is in the bank.
There is scarcely a star in
Hollywood who keeps any large
sum of money either in his pocket
or in a bank subject to his own
check. Experience has taught
them that the best protection

fords" which besieges the film

film colony are the wives Of some

they either sign or cOunterSign

at the studio on pay day and take
their husbands pay check to the

Mrs. James Cagney is one such
wife. She took charge after Jim

Mrs. George Bancroft is an
other who handles all hubby's

Mrs. Paul MUM makes all of her

Interview Skill
I found all Of this out and a
little more when Warner Bros.
staged a junket to Philadelhia
yesterday. Purpos e-to make
Washington's movie editors what
the ad men would call "Dick
Powell conscious"
It was 12:43 by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroads Thirtieth Street
clock when we landed in the
Sleepy city, took taxis to the
Pink Room of the Bellevue STRAIT
ford Hotel.
Before the ice had melted in
the tinkling glasses and before
the chicken salad had been prop
erly assaulted in dashed Mr.. Dick
Powell in person. He was shell
pink in color for this was a be-
tween-shows collective interview
and our hero had no time to
take off his makeup.
What did he think of Ruby
Keeler's acting? Dick thought she
was a perfectly sweet and lovely
little lady and he enjoyed every
moment that he worked With her.
Wait till you see her in Filtration
Walk" soon to be released.
I discovered then that Mr..
Powell is a handy man at inter
views. A quick conversational
shift and he was right past those
who would have had him debate
on the merits of the little ingenue
who is Mrs. AL Jolson.
His New Story
Question No. 2. How was
Maxine Doyle doing? Answer:
Make is doing Splendidly. She
has the ingenue lead in Main
Street." her first real part, and is
as excited as a kid on Christmas
morning over the prospect of ap-
pearing in person at the Earle
Theater or with Joe E. Browns
picture, "Six Day Bicycle Rider
From various directions came
the next question: When was
Maxine Doyle to appear at the
Earle? This query was deity
handed to Frank La Falce.
The young Napoleon of pub
licity answered that "Six Day
Bicycle Rider" would positively be
shown late in October. Where
upon Mr.. Powell volunteered that
Miss Doyle is already rehearsing
the song and dance she will give
to Earle customers.
Question No. 3. Had Mr.. Powell
read women Are Bum Newspaper

bought for one of his future pic
lures? Mr.. Powell had not and
was happy to accept a copy of
Richard Macaulay's story from
your editor.

tie royal of questions, confessed
and deposed as follows:
That after he winds up his per-
sonal appearance at Washington
a week from next Friday he will
fly to Little Rock for a one-night
appearance in his old home town.
That Little Rock boys with
whom he grew up now run the
Chamber of Commerce and he
will be their star at a show and
dance in the high school audito-
rum.
That he goes from Little Rock
via air to Fort Worth, Tex, for
another one-day appearance for
an old friend, then scars back to
Hollywood.
Takes Up Banjo
That the worst tribute ever paid
to his tenor voice was by Charlie
Davis, with whose orchestra
he did his first grooming. It'll
give you twice as much week If
you learn to play banjo" So he
took banjo lessons and was pro-
NOTED to a $12O a week salary.
On Sunday night he visited the
Hollywood night club on Broad
way and kidded Maestro Davis,
because he didn't think the
Powell voice was worth encourag-
ing.
That he was building a home in
Hollywood. Which answers elderly
female admirers who wrote in and
said they were too old to marry
but would be very happy to
mother him and give him a home.
That he feels Warner Brothers
should pursue their policy of two
musical pictures a year. Reason:
Because they get the money.
That he likes Frank Borzage'S
method of direction, which is
leading you gently to do it the
way he wants it done.
That BuSby Berkeley will not
only do the dances for the next
Gold Diggers" musical but will
also direct the story. A well
earned promotion.

Zeppelin Polar Expedition to Land Bet,ueen Aldska, WrangeU Island, North Pole, Announced

LEIPZIG, Germany, Nov. 1. = Tentative plans for Zeppelin Polar Expedition to the heart of the vast sector between the North Pole, Alaska and Wrangen Island, with the United States as the starting point was announced to- day by Prof. Ludwig Weickman, Director of the Leipzig University and Geographical Institute and a member of the Graf Zeppelin Arc- tic Expedition in 1881.
 It is proposed to use Germany's new Lz-129 now under construc- ton.
 Prof. Weickman said the feat will be easy if a suitable airbase is established in the United States, which he said would be if zeppelin service with North America be- comes a reality.
 It is proposed that group of scientists will be landed and then the zeppelin will return for them after a winter of exploration.
