Under A. F. of l..
Direction

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-In ac-
cordance with the direction OF the San
Francisco convention of the American
Federation Of Labor, seven unions met
at A. F. of L. headquarters here and
formed new building trades depart
ment. The old building trades depart
ment, headed by M. j. McDonough, IS
as consequence no longer recog-
nized by the A. F. of L.
The convention was called by Presl-
dent Williom Green, of the A. F. OF L.,
who presided. Following organiza-
ton on the first day, committee was
appointed to confer with the old build
ing trades department in an endeavor
to arrange a settlement of the difficult
ties which arose when the department.
refused at San Francisco to seat dele
gates from the Carpenters, Bricklay-
ers and Electrical Workers Unions.
No agreement was reached and organ
ization of the new department, with
election Of officers, was completed on
the third day.
The officers elected were: j. w.
Williams, of the carpenters, presi-
|. dent; Herbert Rivers, teamsters, sec
retary treasurer; John Possehl, oper-
| ating engineers, first vice president;
Richard J. Gray, bricklayers, second
vice president; Dan w. Tracy, elec-
trical workers, third vice president;
Willard Mccarthy, marble workers,
fourth vice president; Tom l.. Hughes,
teamsters, fifth vice president; Joseph
| v. Moreschi, hod carriers, sixth vice
president. President Williams, vet
eran trades unionist, is from st.
Louis, Mo. He is vice president OF the
| United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners.
| The new officers will serve until
the next regular convention of the de-
partment, and will also serve the un-
expired terms this year of the officers
of the former building trades council
Unions represented at the special
convention were: Carpenters, Station
ary Engineers, Marble Polishers,
Teamsters, Bricklayers, Electrical
Workers and Hod Carriers. Unions
which remained affiliated with the un-
! recognized building trades department
and refused to attend the special con-
vention were: Asbestos Workers,
Boilermakers, Iron Workers, Elevator
Constructors, Granite Cutters, Lath-
ers, Sheet Metal Workers, Painters,
Plasterers, Plumbers, Roofers and
! Stone Masons.

Suicide to Drop New
Deal, Richberg Says

Atlanta (ILNS)-Speaking before
the Southeastern Development Board
here, Donald R. Richberg, executive
director of the National Emergency
Council, declared it would be 'ssui-
cidal folly" to abandon the New Deal
now and let nature take "its ruthless
course"
The government is prepared, how
ever, he said, to reduce steadily the
volume of federal activities and ex-
penditures as soon as private capital
displays its willingness and ability to
reduce the load of unemployment.
Richberg emphasized that the ad-
ministration swung into action 20
months ago, not because of it's desire
for added power, but because the eco
nomic machinery of the nation had
collapsed.

They are on the edge of the great
world
Which rises from machines.
Such folk bring with them their
sense of far horizons
1t is not long
Until the slipping threads and in
exorable run of cloth
Which seemed at first the stream on
which there flowed to them
Great, new and glorious opportun-
ity--
Are changed into a spiders web
of circumstance
That shuts off paths to real re-
lease.
The overseer tells them they are
right we'll off
With white meat, grits and sugar
everJ week.
Contented ones among them say,
it is SO.
But visions-from old seeds sprout-
ed in the hills
Urges inherited from long lines Of
blood
Some unexpected consciousness of
power
Drilled and half-disciplined by mill
whistle blasts
Unisoned in thought by swapping
bobbins-
Wheeled into line by whirling shaft
and pulleys--
Agree now in their minds, because
their hands
Have long since learned newt
ably
To release the hidden forces of
united action.

the too dainty food?
Is the menace of sudden death in
a crowded traffic
Real enough to us-statistically, at
least
Is it too tame thing to stir their
pulses?
Are their eyes hunting to find the
looping snakes
The creeping crocodiles sliding
down Shiny banks
Do their ears hark to catch the
eerie silence of forest night
Shattered and heaved by bowling
hyena choruses-
Or embroidered in pale dawns by
twitters Of birds and monkeys?
Do their hands itch for the tie-
ropes and the slashing knife?
What are the visions which deny
peace to their haunted minds?
And-do all these hardy-minded

folks go to far-off lands?
All, no!
There are other visions of desire
Haunting the minds of folks who
should be content.
Here come the young men, with
companions,
Bred in log shacks, back on noun
tain-spurs,
Learned in gathering their food
with rifles,
Or coaxing reluctant corn rows in
creek bottoms,
Crowded out of acres which cannot
be spread wider
Answering the hum and clang OF
spinning mill and loom.
Snug now in two-room cottages
Near movie-theatre and store
With dresses gay for girls, and
brilliant ties for boys

Otto Kruger Stars in Crime Doctor,
Feature Picture at Keith's

that his mind becomes the dis
eased organ of the criminal and
he contrives the perfect crime.
It would be wholly unethical to
divulge the nature or execution Of
the workings of this master OF
crime. but it Is a well-directed
piece. The suspense element is
theatrical but well contrived. II
the ending brings you too solidly
in your seat after the bombard'
ment of dramatics, 60 home and
try to figure another one.
In support of Mr.. Kruger we
find Miss Karen Morley. not
such a familiar figure these days,
but still lovely to look at If a
bit thin about the face. She
very ably supplies the motive Of
the crime with Nils Asther, the
other point in the triangle gain

contribute in minor roles.
And now after the solution Of
the perfect crime, according to
the films, a nonexistent entity,
you may sit back with ease and
cools comfort and enjoy the
Worlds Fair in practically its
entirety, or at least more than
you could possibly crowd into q
visit.
Then you may take a box seat
behind Harriet Parsons rowing
camera and get an eyeful OF
cinema celebrities that a real
visit to Hollywood would never
divulge. Round this off with q
variegated glimpse Of the news
of the world, an animated car
toon and you have solved the
solution of what to do on o
warm, dull night. II. w.

home surrounded by woods such
as he has in England, but me-
thinking he will not find the
same home in this burg, seeing as
how the Laughton'S European
chateau has all its bedrooms in

Joan Blondell has become
Americas premier girl-scout, see-
ing as how while locationing at
our local railway station (ac.
tually done-up as girl scout for
kansas City Princess"), she
spied a lonesome looking lady,
took her to lunch, gave her 10
dollars and sent her on her way.
Just in case you don't think
that other things besides actor

get load of the fancy order that
the Brethren warner put in
this year: Four million square
feet Of lumber; $50 miles of
wall paper; 17,750 pounds Of
rags for their painters, cleaners
and decorators, and 21,969 gal
Ions Of paint.
M-G-M became a hotbed of ex-
element yesterday when a mon.
key from their ZOO escaped and
perched itself on the edge Of a
60,000-volt transformer. Had Ia
monk collapsed into the trans
former it would have been done
away with instantly and all the
lights in the entire studio would
also have been blown out. An
emergency monkey committee was
called and the verdict was shoot

but fortunately the monkey got
away before being deceased. I
couldn't be happier.

Mary Morris Has
Stellar Role in
Met Feature

1.-THE Double Door," current
feature at .the Metropolitan, is
not, as one might imagine, q mys-
terry story, because the audience
is privy to all that goes on at each
stage. The picture, nevertheless,
lacks nothing for thrills.
The story, structurally, is done
with meticulous care. The char
acterS are thoroughly authentic
even the female Frankenstein-
and the plot has an unusual
angle.
Mary Morris, who plays the
part of Victoria Van Brett, does
one of the finest characterizations
it has ever been the pleasure Of
this reviewer to witness. She is
magnificent as the selfish and un.
scrupulous female relative. Eve.
lyn Venable, as Anne Darrow, in
addition to being beautiful and
charming, carries q difficult role
with great ability. The picture
really belongs to these two
women.
Kent Taylor, as Rip Van Brett,
plays the browbeaten younger
brother with easy grace.
The picture is unusual as q
movie. It has moments of terrible
suspense. In the opinion of this re
viewer, it ranks as vastly more
than a movie thriller.
That charming comedian, Edgar
Kennedy, is featured in a short
subject that is funny from begin
ming to end. If you like Edgar
Kennedy, and that should include
all Of us, you'll love this subject.
There is also a musical short,
Darling Comedy" in which bare
legged girls and spies and Army
officers lend color to q fantastic
story.
There is an Alexander Woolcott
short and quite a lengthy, but en-
tertaining, news film. w. B.

an dtap dancing by Taylor and
Rutledge aid considerably.
MANY Happy Returns" IS
light, amusing farce for these hot
summer days, and the fans Of
Burns and Allen will probably en-
joy it more than that.
A diversified, highly entertain
ing vaudeville show is the stage
fare. Audrey Sieber, back after
two weeks well-deserved rest, in
troduces the five acts.
Fine Stage Bill
Opening the program are the
Three CoSsacks, who perform dcx-
ferrous skating featS on a tiny
platform. Pat Kennedy, divorced
for the moment from Ben Ber-
MES band, follows. Possessing a
clear voice, he sings a ballad
about mother, "Wagon Wheels, "
Sweetheart Darlin'," and as a
smash encore, with My Eyes
Wide Open, I'm Dreaming" from
"Shoot the Works.
Next, the headliner, owen Nc
Givney, in his amazing quick
change act, based on characters
in Dickens "Oliver Twist" Just
to prove he uses no doubles, Nc
Givney performs his changes in
full light, allowing the audience

phone solos are outstanding in his
offering. To close, there is o

Comedy Rules Stage
A bang.up bill in more ways
than one adorns the Fox stage
this week. In the top hole Is
the Frank and Milt Britton
band, full of riotous slam 'em
round comedy that wrecks violinS
in q mad frenzy Of fun. II they
should elect to cut the messy
water squirting for q breather Of
real music I think the act would
90 even better than 1t did last
night. The opening with u I'D
Masters" Is O new idea.
Sheila Barrett has made big
strides since her last appearance
here as a close study mimic. She
has a corking talk routine that
introduces skillfully minute i'm
preSSions Of Bert Lahr, Katha-
rine Cornell, Mae West, Lionel
Barrymore, Greta Carlo and
Zazu Pitts. Too many initiate
the fluttering zazu and it let's
down Miss Barrett's act. She
got merely O good hand where
she should have earned a speech
as a smart entertainer.
June Carr, best knockabout
comedienne in the varieties, is
assisted in nonsense by Harry
Martin and stooges, while Dave
Jones and company provide q
fast dancing act. All round a
bill that would make Hamlet
laugh.
Thursday was flag day but Phil

pletes a program that rates with
the best of 1884.

Loew's Palace is holding Sadie
Mckee" for a second week!
Vina Delmar's latest typewrit-
ten outburst, shadowed by Joan
Crawford, is the story Of a girl
whose mother was a cook! She
was a good cook, and the family
she served spoiled the gay, young
daughter; a short-handed butler
was accustomed to calling Joan
into action when guests were pres
ent for dinner and, clad in smart
black and white uniform (de-
signed by AdrianD Joan served
the soup, and served it very badly.
It so happens the family has a
son, who, as a boy was a playmate
Of the cooks daughter, but now,
grown to mans estate and a sue
cess in practicing law, he looks
aSkance upon the romance Of
Joan and one Tommy Wallace,
lazy, uke-strumming, chap about
town.
Young Wallace walks out on

Those who saw the picture last

see it last week will go to find out
why the credit for acting goes to
Edward Arnold, as the wealthy
inebriate; he steals every scene
they give him; and to sigh a little
over Joan, capable Of so much and
b..ving so little; caricaturing her
smooth young face into an un'
lovely mask: and to register an.
noyance at the cloak Of Hollywood
(the Hollywood of the fan maga'
zine writers) which covers the
talents Of Franchot Tone, who
once intrigued us in Green GROW

Morbid in theme, careless in

Burns and Allen,
Lombardo' $ Band
In Earle Film

MANY Happy Returns" at the
Earle this week, brings George
Burns and Oracle Allen in their
first starring vehicle with Guy
Lombardo's orchestra.
Oracle Allen Is almost the whole
show in the film, so your enjoy
ment Of 1t Is based on your taste
for the nut comedienne. It Is,
in truth, one hour Of her goofi'
ness and, to this reviewer at least,
wears mighty thin in its last mo-
ments. In other words, the team
seems more effective in smaller,
supporting roles, for an overabu1'
dance of Stiffness Is worse than
too little.
The plot is practically non-ex'
