Big, Bad Bee Bites
Genevieve's Back in
Film Bathtub Scene

This Is the tale of big, bad bee
that broke all the rules of social
etiquette by wandering into a lady's
bathroom.
Miss Genevieve Tobin was the lady
and the bathroom was a set on q
stage Of the Warner Bros. studios
where a scene was being shot for
Easy to Love-" which comes to the
Capitol theater tomorrow.
Miss Tobin was seated in the tub,
clad in nothing but a mass Of soap
suds, carrying on domestic argu-
ment with Adolphe Menjou, in the
role OF her husband. through the par
TALLY open bathroom door. A delicate
odor Of perfumed bath salts. which
the property department very thought
fully provided, filled the air.
A wandering bee, presumably de.
ceived into thinking the perfume
came from flower. flew across the
set and into the bathroom. Miss
Tobin saw it and suddenly interrupt
ed herself in the middle of a line
to utter a piercing shrek. At the
same time she made pass at it,
which Is contrary to regulations when
dealing with bee.
The insect became bewildered and
flew against Miss Tobins shoulder
IN trying to escape. And when bee
comes in contact with an object when
frightened or angry 1t is inclined to
declare war. This one ran true to
form and punctured Miss Tobin's
delicate skin with its singer.

2 MAJOR STEPS TO
 BE GIVEN CONGRESS
Legislation on War Debts and New Airmail Con-
 tracts Be Asked

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Presi- dent Roosevelt, about to enter the second year of the New Deal Era, has two more major steps in mind before Congress adjourns.
 One step would press for leg islation on handling the war debt situation.
 The ether step would be to re- establish a privately owned air mail system shorn of what critics Of the old system called abuses.
 The Administration is now look ing forward to the next twelve months. It will be just one year ago tomorrow that the President took his office.
 Congress has set itself to work on several of the Presidents recom- mendations, such as the vital se- curity of exchanges and the Presi- dents request for wide powers to negotiate tariff treaties with other nations, raising or lowering tariffs by as much as 50 per cent. This latter is stirring turbulence in Congress.
