Soldiers Guard Mills in South Carolina-Fac-
 tories Reopening

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.- The United Textile Workers have map ped out a determined fight on what they called discrimination against workers who took a part in the Textile strike.
 The leaders of the United Textile Workers said they would place every charge of discrimination be- fore the new Cotton Textile Labor Relations Board, which will be named by President Roosevelt.
 Reports received here said many mills have reopened and taken back the strikers, but some plant own CTS have informed the union lead CTS that some positions of those who were active in the strike will be filled by others.
 Francis German, Chairman oi the Textile Strike Committee, said the most serious cases of discrim- ination come from the south"
 SOME MILLS ARE CLOSED

 Hundreds of other plants have resumed activities.
 National Guardsmen continued to be demobilized in Georgia, North Carolina and Mississippi. In South Carolina the guardsmen are stil stationed at various mills.
 Soldiers bayonets prevented about 400 former strikers from going back to work at the Lyman Mills. The Workers were told there was nc room for them.
 Other former strikers have also been turned away from the plants in other sections.
 Protests are being made to the Washington, D. c. labor authori- ties.

Walt Disney, the genius of

Loew's Palace will hold at 9:3O
o'clock Saturday morning, was
recently honored for his con.

children.
At the special matinee, which
is open to adults as well as
youngsters, doors will open at 9
a. m. and the performance will
get underway at $3.50 o'clock.
Seven Disney cartoons will COM

Comedy
or Artist Life
At Met

"Girl Without Room" at the
Metropolitan, begins as a musical
satire Of Montparnasse artist life,
turns into a wild burlesque in
the middle and finally becomes
melodramatic.
The film provides many laughs
for those who are not too scrupu-
lous as to story. Charles Farrell
plays budding artist direct from
Tennessee who falls in with a
madcap group of pseudo-geniuses.
There's girl, too, who is very
carefree and careless at first, but
she, like the picture, is exceed
ingly serious at the fade-out
Happening to offend the young
man, she sees him ruin his ability
by painting "moderniStic" moth
ings, appropriate a Russian siren
and become the laughing stock Of
Paris when his daub wins first
prize at an exhibition, turned up
side down.
Throughout 1t all, walks Charlie
Ruggles, for which the producers
should be thankful! He becomes
involved in a duel, Is casual
fixer-upper for the lovers and
makes himself generally useful.
Marguerite Churchill proves she
possesses more allure and more
cleverness than her earlier films
demonstrated. Walter Woolf
should have a definite future, al
though his present role does not
demand much. Perhaps it would
be best to overlook Charles Far
rell, who seems to miss Janet
Gaynor as his partner.
Several musical numbers are
tuneful, and "Girl Without a
Room" will leave you in a pleas
ant state Of mind, if nothing
else.
On the supplementary program
there is a musical short, Around
the Clock" which brings back to
the screen the lovely voice of
Norma Terris, who is assisted by
Lynne Overman. An interesting
release of the newsreel concludes.

Dancer Wears Paint
Costume for Movie

Unable to sit down from 9 a. m.
to 6 p. m. because of the costume
painted on her body, Joyzelle,
noted Oriental dancer, paid a tir-
ing penalty for performing the
Chinese Dance Of the Dragon for
the first time on the screen for
Paramount's "Girl Without a
Room" which is the feature at
traction now running at Warner
Brothers Metropolitan Theater.
Joyzelle's costume consists solely
of varicolored paints and an
ounce or two of flesh-colored cloth.
Newt Johns, makeup artist, took
more than two hours to apply the
costume to her body and had to
remain on the set all day to re-
pair any damage caused by the

Music in the Air" has one Of
Jerome Kern's loveliest scores. It
is full Of melodiouS gems, has a
dandy love story about Bavarian
country folk and is tranSplanted
to the modern stage with its gilt
tering brilliance and boisterous
gayety. A fine cast sang and
acted this tuneful frolic. The
road refused to buy it at $3.50 a
seat. Less than $4,000 for one
week in Pittsburgh. The pro-
ducers decided to close and Wash
ington is denied a peep at one Of

Is suffering away from Broadway
and unless business picks up
will fold after the Chicago en-
gagement. j. j. Shubert decided
not to send it here because Wash
ington was cold to shopworn
"Bitter Sweet" which has folded.
"Let EN- Eat Cake" only did
fairly well on E Street. It failed
to get q dividend for Sam Harris,
its producer, and must go into
the records as a box office dis
appointment in Washington. I
thought it an excellent fun show,
enjoyed it more than "Of Thee
I Sing" although I appear to be
singing with a minority. Admit
ting George Gershwin gave it no
tunes worth humming, the book
had an abundance of laughs. The
outlook is for a very short road
season.
The Follies did $4,000 in Wash
ington. If the Follies presented
here had been the same attrac-
ton that the Winter Garden is
now showing, the 1884 show with
Ziegfeld tag would have taken
away $35, I know it and the
ShubertS know it. Don't blame
the critics or the Washington
public for $3.50 business.
