Bowling For Senate

Eddie Bowling, who has gradu-
ated from the comedian ranks to
that of a full-fledged politician,
is going to be candidate for
Senator from Rhode Island. His
legal residence is Providence, al
though most people had an idea
he was on the voting lists in New
York.
To capture the Democratic
nomination he must defeat Peter
Goelet Gerry, wealthy and with
social background, but without
much ability to make a good
stump speech. despite his pre-
vious service in the august Sen
ate. :,
Mr.. Bowling is an original
Roosevelt rooter, and had charge
of the stage and entertainment
division of F. DIS campaign.
Since then he has been frequently
mentioned as likely to land on
the Federal Radio Commission
but Eddie evidently aspires higher.

In fact, he found himself be-

ran brought him down from New
York yesterday with ambitious
plans for the tenth stock season
scheduled to get under way
April 80.
Incidentally he found out that
the producers Of the stage play
Men in White" have decided
the play is too good to release
for stock. They have decided to
restrict it's presentation and send
it on tour next season. BY that
time they figure the picture
which is a smash box office hit
will have played all available
screens and that its popularity
will insure the success Of the
play. This is a new idea and
maybe it will prove smart one.

John Dillinger is haunting the
headlines again and it looks as
though he's getting tired of hav.
ing the police chase him, so he's
turned around and started chaS-

He certainly took the law in
his own hands and also took the

From now on, it would be a
good idea to build jailS with the

If Dillinger doesn't watch his
step, he'll park too close to a

will be in trouble.

These are beautifully managed
affairs, these White House social
programs. There is distinctly an
at home feeling when President
and Mrs. Roosevelt meet one at
the door and tender graceful and
smiling greetings. An hour Of
straight instrumental string mu-
sic with the violins and the
cymbalon featured. That GYM
balon player has a spot and he
strikes his hammers as though
he realized it. After the concert
the musicians file down and each
gets a word of praise from the
Chief Executive and the First
Lady. What thoughtful kind and
democratic folks are the White
House occupants. AS an old
vaudeville patron I can't help
thinking the program would have
had the desired touch of variety
if it had introduced a voice.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson seems to
enjoy it thoroughly and swayS
gently to the soft waltz rhythms.
What memories this room must
bring to her? There is a reminder
of the William Jennings Bryan
era when the punch glasses arrive
with grape juice. The guests stroll
through the first floor rooms, the
ladies Slyly cycling the ensembles
and the slightly self conscious gen.
tlemen trying to appear noncha-
liant and as though they were all
quite at home.
Mrs. Roosevelt, wearing a flow
ing gown cut on Grecian lines and
set off by a brilliant diamond
necklace, takes her place at the
east room door and gives a good
night smile and handShake to the
departing guests. The Missus says
she got the thrill of a lifetime.

Five Big Song Hits
Will Be Heard
In Harold Teen

Five songs, and all of them hits, ac-
cording to those who have heard
them. will be heard in the Warner
Bros. picture, Harold Teen,' which
comes TO the Capitol theater tomor-
row, production that isn't a musical.
The Harold Teen songs are by
Irving Kahal and Sammy Fain, the
ace-writing songsters who produced
such hits as by a Waterfall, ? There
Ought to Be Moonlight Saving
Time Was That the Human Thing
to Do?'. You Brought a New Kind
OF Love to Me" and many others.
How Do Know It's Sunday is
the first song in the picture. It's q
catchy tune. sung by Chic Chandler
to Rochelle Hudson in THE Sugar
Bowl and what Harold Teen fan
doesn't know that famous soda-shop
conducted by the tolerant Pop?
Sweet and Simple is q number
sung by Rochelle Hudson who is as
tine singer as she IS an actress.
Patricia Ellis sings Two Little
Flies on a Lump Of Sugar" and the
song is as engaging as its title. Miss
Ellis has swell trained singing voice
that registers with exceptional clarity.
Farewell Covina' is the stirring
song Of the graduates of Covina high
school in Harold Teen" and no more
thrilling school song has ever been
heard in Hollywood than this. In the
small town amateur show staged in
Harold Teen is heard Collegiate
Wedding and Patricia Ellis and Ro-
chelie Hudson are presented as two
most attractive brides.

D. c. LIQUOR LAW
REVISION STUDIED
Measure Would Be ReWrit-
ten to Remove "MuddIed"
Conditions.

The alcoholic liquor control law
for the District is being studied care
fully in the light of experience in the
franting of licenses, with view to
having the law thoroughly rewritten.
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Pret-
tyman so notified the House District
Committee when he appeared before
them yesterday during consideration
of the Dirksen, Weideman and Black
bills to amend the liquor control act.
Acting Chairman Palmisano sug-
gested that the law was 'muddled"
and inequitable and that he favored
having it rewritten, Representative
Black, who took a leading part in
putting the bill through the House,
agreed Corporation Counsel Pretty
man then explained that his Office
is now engaged in a study of the
bill for possible amendment at the
direction of the Commissioners and
the Liquor Control Board.
Prettyman and Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Howsley presented to
the House committee the attitude OF
the Commissioners on the amend
ments under consideration. The Com
missioners, the corporation counsel
said, had no very strong recommended
tion either way regarding the Dirk
sen bill which, as reported, would
allow druggists selling only on doc
tors prescriptions and paying a SIS
license fee, to fill prescriptions for
blended liquors or wines instead of
4-year-old whisky and alcohol of
pharmacopoeial standard At HoWs-
ley's suggestion, Representative Dirk
sen included wines and the woId
Character as we'll as quality.
Chain Store Issue.
The Black bill was held temporar-
1ly IN committee to await information
regarding the wishes of the President
as to granting licenses to chain stores.
The committee was told by Represent
ative Black and others that in sign
ing the liquor control act, the Presi-
dent stated that such changes in the
law were contemplated and would
have to be made HoWsley pointed out
that the President made no such
statement in his letter to the Sem
ate. Black agreed to delay action
until the Presidents wishes could be
included in the record. Representa-
tive Weldeman strongly opposed
granting off-sale licenses to chain
stores.
Howsley argued that several hun
dred licenses had been granted to
independent stores which had made
a considerable investment in the be-
lief that there would be no competi-
ton from chain stores. Weideman
insisted that chain stores, with their
volume buying, were forcing down
manufacturers prices, with consequent
wage reductions, at time when the
N. R. A. program calls for raising
price levels and wages.
Weideman Bill Opposed.
The District Commissioners are
strongly opposed to the Weideman
bill, which the committee reported
Mr.. Howsley said their opposition is
against granting any new rights to
stores established in areas since
zoned-which are generally referred
to as on-conforming. The argument
Of Representatives Palmisano, Black
and Weideman and others was that
if these established stores are
denied an of-sale license they will be
penalized in competition with other
stores only a block away, which are
just outside the residential zone. The
