Outside of that there are no jokes
in Wall Street now. The boys are
blue about the stock market bill. Until
now they apparently believed it would
be killed.
Their lonely ray of hope is the

from the expected homecoming OF
Tom Bragg and Ben Smith, the
boys haze noticed Matt Brush mot
ing around his old hdunts. He IS
the Trader Horn OF the market.
The main reason for the big reunion
Is the conclusion of the stock market
investigation, but when those boys
get together there undoubtedly will be
activity in the market one way or
another.

C. B. McCloskey, business represen-
tative of the Bankers Union sent out
word to all his men to complete the
work in hand before going out on
strike, so as to leave nothing to spoil
This was done before they walked
out, he said.
Drivers Dispute Settled.
Bread which had been baked was
delivered to driver statesmen, who
had reached an agreement with the
Employing Bakers under an increase
in pay from S35 to $38 week.
Efforts to settle wage difficulties
were still under way today from the
Department of Labor, as Howard T..
Colvin of the conciliation service par
ticipated in conferences.
The Central Labor Union, through
Its president, r. A. Dickson, made
overtures today in an effort to help
the Bakers Union. Dickson explained
that both the bakers and the ice cream
men belong to the same local union,
No. 118. He said the Central Labor
Union would be willing to select a
committee to represent the men in
any negotiations with either the
operators of the bakeries or the Gov
ernment. This offer was being con-
sidered today by both the bakers and
ice cream men in separate meetings.
The ice cream plants affected by the
strike today were: Carry. Fussell-
Young, Colonial and Southern Diaries.
An actual walkout was prevented
at the ice cream plant of Washing

president, agreed to the union demands

Haven't Said Anything.

They have said nothing against
Watson, but some of the insiders say
they have seen them turn their
thumbs dLwn at a mention of the
Hoosier candidate. At any rate, the
inner circlers take it for granted that
Watson's goose already has been
cooked by these two most skillful G.
o. P. chefs.
That means the subtle contest
for EUerett Sanders job is tpide
open not1, pith Watson the only
outstanding arolped candidate.
Every one takes it for granted that
Sanders toiH retire because OF his
health as soon as the big boys can
get together on his successor, and
perhaps before.
The Hilles- -Roraback boys are said
to be looking for some man of the
type of Maj Gen. Harbord or Frank
Knox. Gen. Harbord is with the
Radio Corporation and Knox is the
successful Chicago publisher. Both
are outstanding men.
Don't Hanker for Job.
Such men, however, have little
hankering for the job.
After what happened to recent Re-
publican chairmen, notably Claudius
Huston and Senator Fess. the post
has become recognized among poll
ticians as smear job" That means
it is a thankless task carrying no
salary and much abuse.
Ex-senator Edge ,UlS considered
q promising prospect for the chair
n1anShip some tDeekS ago. Since
then he has turned his back on the
job and gone on trip around the
Dorld.
Young Teddy Roosevelt has some
support, but he, too, has failed to i'm

Economic Survey Due.
A humdinger report on economic
trends is coming shortly from re-
search committee sponsored by the
Carnegie Foundation.
1t has been held up since last De-
cember because it was loaLed with
economic dynamite. At that time
certain committee members changed
their minds rather suddenly. They
had approved the report in draft form.
but voted against it few weeks later
when they saw 1t in print.
This fact led to inner suspicious
that pressure had been brought
upon them by powertul conserua-
the agents.
Since then another vote has been
taken and the report approved again
by bare majority. Among other
things, it will recommend that school
teaching be brought up to date by
discarding the beliefs of the old deal
and espousing the principles of the

Trader Reported Kidnapped.
The three-day disappearance OF a
famous Wall Street speculator some
months ago was marked down as an
unSolved mystery.
Certain influential people in the
Street believe they have the answer

They have heard that the specu-
lator was operating in a pool with
several other persons. Those persons
believed the speculator was going to
sell out on them and they kidnapped
him and held him until they could get

Pianist's Concert
Is Cancelled

Announcement is made by Mrs.
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey, Wash
ington concert and recital impre-
sario, that Sergei Rachmaninoff,
noted Russian pianist and com,
poser, who was announced to ap-
pear in recital at Constitution Hall
on Tuesday afternoon, February
20, at 4;40 o'clock, has been
forced to cancel his engagement
because of illness.
Although Rachmaninoff has
not been we'll for several weeks
anc had planned to curtail his
American tour unless his condi-
ton improved. it was believed
that he would be able to play the
Washington engagement on ac-
count of this city's nearness to
his home in New York. During
the course of Sundays Vienna

Hall, however, Mrs. Dorsey re-
ceived word from Rachmani-
noff's management that a Wash

.iennese Choir
Boys Appear
BY Feg Murray
BY RONALD THORNE

The Wiener Saengerknaben,
those talented choir boys of the
city whose misfortunes have been
the theme of recent news stories,
brought here yesterday the atmos-
phere of the Vienna to which
Americans are accustomed, when,
presented at Constitution Hall
under the local management of
Mrs. Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey,
they gave a program of sacred
and secular music, with a short
Offenbach comic opera for good
measure.
The boys, who range in age ap-
parently from 8 to Is years,
donned surplices for the first part
of their program, which was made
up of church music designed for
religious observances during the
wear. This, of course, is the type
OF music to which they are pri-
marily accustomed, and they sang
the selections admirably. For this
part Of the program they sang
entirely a capella.
Next came the Offenbach op-
eretta, wedding by Lantern
light" in which the boys appeared
in costume. The members of the
chorus were at times little self
conscious, but the principals had
ample poise and assurance and ap-
peared to enjoy hugely the pre-
sentation of the not too compli-
Gated story. 1t deals with a
wealthy young farmer, Peter; his
cousin and ward, Lischen, and two
village widows, both setting their
caps for Peter. But Peters old
uncle, to whom he has applied for
a loan, has other ideas and the
wedding by Lantern-light" is
that of Peter and Lischen.
p Lischen, youthful soprano,
was very cute, and Peter showed
real talent for the musical comedy
stage. The widows brought in
some rather we'll executed comedy.
The program closed with Secu-
lar numbers, for which the boys
were garbed as sailors. Most en-
joyable was the waltz number
from "Rosenkavalier." The audi
ence, which applauded enthusi-
astically throughout, was reward
ed with several encores.
The Washington times., 1934-02-19

The offer OF the job was all
right, but the salary of $1,000 per
week was what staggered the
President and he turned thumbs
down on the whole thing. Not
that the President objected to
his son working for the movies,
but he can't see where an in.
experienced person rates $1,000 a
week.
The Importance to Hollywood
in the story is the fact that it
isn't going to help the industry's
cause any in arguing against
salary control to have a specific
offer of four figures so close
to the Presidents own knowledge
and acquaintance of the value of
services.
And not only that, but a feller
named Joe Conner, famous Gov
ernment sleuth, is in Hollywood
working under cover in one of
the studios getting the lowdown
on code violations and adherence

How He Sings
Beloved" is an episode story
that moves from Vienna to New
York-1838 to the present day
and shows interesting chapters in
the career of a musician who wins
the recognition of the world only
when death is beckoning.
Like "Cavalcade" this picture
expounds that the world has
moved far in close to a century
but in the mad hurly-burly pace
Of today it has lost some of the
fineness and wholesome values of
the past and that this change is
reflected in the current taste for
music. Beloved" whacks jazz and
extols the soft, soothing strains
of the waltz and the distinction
which reposes in the symphonies.
If this sounds as though BE
loved" were high brow, disillusion
yourself. It has an air of class
and its mood is delicate, tender,
moving and never cheap. Mr.. Boles
sings in his very best voice such
songs as MY Beloved" Forget"
and I'm the Cleaning" and

Bohn Is Big Hit
At Gayety

PEANUTS Bonn, comedian
who made an instant and lasting
impression upon the burlesque
public at his first appearance
here sometime ago, is back at the
Gayety this week with the cur
rent attraction, Aviation Girls"
Bohn, quite naturally, is the
featured comedian and Dotty
Ahearn is the feminine lead.
Bohn, a small man physically,
uses this fact as the basis for
most of his fun. He has de-
veloped an excellent line of humor
and stage manner that puts him
away in front of present burlesque
comedians. Bohn has original and
new ideas and is not afraid to
use them. He is without doubt
the main star of this show and is
likely to be the main attraction
in any production with which
he is booked.
Prominent among the feminine
leads, Cherie Griffith returns for
the second time this season. This
glamorous young lady makes only
two appearances on the program,
but these two shouldn't be missed.
She is graceful and beautiful.
lyle and Phillips score an out
standing hit with their fencing
dance, a novelty that is new here
at least and quite a knockout.
They return in later dances, but
their opening number is one that
will surprise and delight.
Harry Steppe. Sammy Spears,
Lew Denny and Lew Leroy, the
latter an unusually fine straight
man, round out the masculine
side of the cast. Mickey O'Neil
and Mae Moore, among the
feminine leads, stand out.
The chorus is above average in
looks.
We think you'll like the show.

In addition, Turner's Arcadians.

A large company of entertainers

awarded second prize. The full
sprig of laurel was withheld be-
cause of contention it was not
a one-act play. While the cur
tains were not joined after the
opening, lights were dimmed for
the necessary changes in settings.
This same point has arisen in
previous tournaments and might
properly be settled finally before
the finals are reached.
Of course the Community Center
Department will contend - and
quite properly-that the question
of eligibility had been determined
before the plays were presented
for the final judgement on Satur-
day night. The wisdom and the
discretion of the eligibility COM
mittee was not on trial but the
plays we're. All were presumably
legally entered and entitled to a
decision on merit.
AS it stands Mr.. Tiller is con-
Victed and penalized for using a
novel and original technique in
the presentation Of his ideas in
one act form. The same standard
of criticism makes "As Thousands
Cheer" a revue in 80 ..cts but I
doubt if audiences believe that.

have no desire to retract from
the glory which the Columbia
Players properly feel over winning
top honors for the fourth time in
six years, with their well-acted
playlet, The Giants Stair" I
merely wish to explain that they
won on a claim of foul, which one
judge on the jury failed to recog-
nize.
Raft in "BoIero"
There were some in Hollywood
who thought George Raft would
turn out to be successor to Val
entino. He is sleek, short, black
haired, graceful Latin type who
has a good speaking voice ard a
gallant manner around the ladies.
His fault seems to be that the
screen created certain type as
the symbol for the gangster and
that Mr.. Raft just gravitates
naturally into this groove. He
fits the frame.
Raft is a good actor and
"Bolero," which Warner Bros.
screened Saturday. is his best
picture to date. It is the story
Of a coal miner who decided
there was more money in dancing,
began his career in an amateur
night on the Bowery and wound
up owning and dancing in his
ritzy bazaar on the boulevards of
Paris.
Raft as "Raoul" dances with
many beautiful partners but con-
tends that it must be always
business and that whenever a
girl begins to have visions of
romance her professional useful
ness departs. This theory works
out o. K. until he teams up with
Carole Lombard.
"Bolero" winds up, as you
might expect, with a truly gor.
geous presentation of this exotic
dance played to Ravel's rhythmic
thumpings. Sally Rand of the
famous fan dance is in this pic
ture. Sally arrives too late.
Fashion Follies of 1884" have
already presented all of her stuff,
and presented it better, and may.
be it's just as well, for the screen
has reached the point where it
would be wise to play down
nudity.
"Bolero" will be the featured
screen attraction at the Earle
beginning Friday.
