Unofficial Circles Convinced
Shollz VIII Not Call Special
Session OF Legislative Body
Three Groups OF Inter-
ests Have Repeatedly
Sought ] Extra Session
OF Lawmakers
(Florida News 'Service)

IALLAFtASSEE, July 6.-Un-
official circles here are firmly
convinced that Governor Dave
Sholtz will stick to his guns and
decline to call special session of
the legislature before the regular
session starts in April, 1885.
Three groups of interests have
repeatedly sought a special meet
ing of the lawmaking body this
fall. They are the school in
terestS, the citrus interests, and
those seeking enactment of a
liquor tax law as soon as prohibi-
ton repeal is okehed by the cleo
toratc. in the general election in
November.
The states chief executive has
repeatedly gone on record as op-
posing special meetings of the
legislature. This has been chiefly
because of the expense involved
and because of his desire TO allow
nothing to affect the business of
statecraft while he and other adj
ministrative officers i'm the state
are attempting to set Florida S
house in order from a financial
standpoint.
With the close Of the fiscal
year, the state was found to be i'm
better financial condition than it
has been for many years. but that
does not end the governors ambi-
tions toward setting Florida on
her feet again.
Still Cutting Expenses
Instead, he and other members
of his cabinet will, it is under
stood, continue the pairing of ex-
pense and the enforcement Of
economy measures.
Governor Sholtz has declined to
comment anew on his reasons for
not calling special legislative
session. Such action in the first
place would call for expenditure
of thousands of dollars, for even
a one or two day session-let
alone the twenty days that such a
meeting probably would rutland
under present financial conditions
the state can i'll afford, the gov
ernor said to believe, such an out
lay of cash.
The governor feels, it is gen.
orally reported, that he has more
than kept the faith with the
schools of the state during 1933-34
and sees no reason why this stand
should not be maintained until the
legislature convenes in regular
session in 1885.
Distributions Made
The office of Comptroller J. NJ.
Lee reported this week that 3d.
005,622 has been distributed
through the past fiscal year to the
schools of the state. This is $5.-I
622 more than the governor said
could reasonably be expected to
be given to schools in view of the
states shaky financial condition.
With signs pointing definitely
to another, and perhaps better,
year for the sale of motor vehicle
license tags, the collection of
beverage and ad valorem taxes
and a general looking up in BUSH
ness, the governor is reported to
believe that the $5,200,OOO figure
for education may easily be boost
ed during the 1934-35 years.

Cd Movie BY Universal
Edna Dee Heads
BuIesque Bill
At Gayety

The Gayety scores with an ex.
ceptional show this week, made
outstanding by a cast of Wash.
ington favorites. This cast In
Cludes that beautiful and viva
cious redhead, Edna Dee; Lew
Costello, Frank Smith and Kay
Cassidy. Also included is Bee
Sherman, not so well known here,
but a songstress for fair, never
thelesS.
Miss Dee appears in two spe-
c1altieS and wins the audience as
usual. This little lady has a fine
figure, which is no drawback in
burlesque, but most especially she
has a winning personality.
Miss Sherman won the audi
ence with her singing and her
imitation of Sophie Tucker
brought down the house. Indi-
vidual honors Of the evening
were probably won by Miss Sher-
man.
Lew Costello is the Costello Of
old, a thorough master Of his
stagecraft. Frank Smith, the
tongue-twisting conversationalist,
and Billy Foster complete the
comic contingent. Rarely does
one production boast three such
topnotch comics.
Margie White, a platinum
beauty, does some exquisite dance
numbers. Ann Dyker, Agnes
Nichols and Evelyn Whitney also
are among the feminine leads.
Leonard Foster is the straight
man for the comic antics of Billy
Foster and Russell Trent does an
excellent job with Costello and
Smith.
The show is exceptionally well
staged and costumed and many Of
the tableaux show originality and
much beauty.
The chorus Is comely, dances
well and several of the girls are
given an opportunity in solo parts.

Iimnnv Likes Barbara

Ifound Jimmy Lake bucking the
line at the Earle Theater Saturday
twilight and discovered he is q
member Of the Barbara Stan
wyck in Anything" society. This
select group includes among others
Johnny Payette and your critic.
It's a long time since Barbara
Stanwyck has had anything as
good as Gambling Lady" It is
her best, I think, since her first
bulls eye, Ladies Of Leisure" She
is not called upon to emote all
over the place but though she has
eye-filling moments they are well
controlled, restrained and effec.
tive.
An excellent cast helps out with
Claire Dodd doing stunning work
as the menace. I think Miss Dodd
is a real bet in pictures when she
finally catches up with q role that
affords her some audience SYM
pathy and appeal. Generally she
is love chiseler and such parts
are hard to hurdle In the climb
to Stardom.

George Ar1iss in "Rothschild''
into the Columbia as a two-a-day
feature. Either there or at the
National. No decision yet but the
new picture is a sensational hit
on Broadway at the Astor Thea
ter.
Which inspires an interesting
story. George Westley, who
wrote "Rothschild," is a Boston
newspaperman.
For &c years he has been writ
ing a column called Facts and
Fancies"- "-humor and logic-and
in all that time he has never been
near his office. At the Boston
Transcript only one member Of
the staff knew who he was, the
others had never seen him,
doubted if such a person existed.
Westley is described as "a little
grey man" who lives on the third
floor back at 120 Huntington Ave
nue.. He haunts the Boston Pub
lie Library in Copley Square look
ing for joke germs.
He got the idea for the Roth
Schild" story from biographers,
wrote it and sent it to George Ar
liss. It was accepted and he is
perfectly satisfied with the Holly
wood adaptation, although they
changed his idea somewhat. His
case proves that you don't neces-
sarily have to have influence to
sell a good story to the picture
moguls. Since his was marketed
without an agent or influence
and at the cost of 54 cents in
