On the first page Of this Sec
ton, you will see q picture Of q
very charming young lady; Pa
tricia Mccarthy.
Her beauty has graced the
screen many times, for she is q
member Of Warner Bros. Vita
phone stock Company, in Holly
wood. Not only that, but Miss
Mccarthy Is q native Washing
tonian, whose parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. N. Mccarthy, reside on
Emerson Street.
She has played in nearly every
w. B. short subject this year. In
that very funny burleSQue Of
Dinner at Eight" called Come
to Dinner" she was the slangy
and impertinent maid.
Russell Mack directs the ambi-
tious player. So under his capable
hands, and with her unmiStak-
able loveliness, we phophesy that
her name is destined to be seen
in electric lights. Then, everyone
can exclaim, "She's q Washing.

Against Cycles

To the Motion Picture Editor:
Why must screen stories al
ways run in "cycles?"
Are film producers such
copy-catS that each and every
one must turn out a picture
initiating some successful pro-
duction?
A varied and diversified fare
is what's needed. Back in the
earlier days of the "talkieS,"
producers, after the success Of
Broadway Melody" and other
films, felt that each picture
must have at least a theme
song. They stuck music in COM
edieS. tragedies and everything
else. You never could be sure
when q line of chorineS might
come dancing out.
"Forty-Second Street" brought
back the melody-filled films af-
ter it was believed they had
died q rather ignominious
death. BuSby Berkeley filled
the screen with some gorgeous
spectacle in that picture, so
the powers-that-be decided that
bigger and better spectacular
effects were the order Of the
day.
Not one Of the whole crop
Of musicals turned out has
touched several Of the '29 vim
tage. And, incidentally, Berke-
Iey's later efforts have Just
been cheap limitations Of his
''Forty-second Street." "Gold
Diggers" and "Footlight Pa
rade" were full of the same
overhead shots Of geometrical
patterns Of chorus girls and
the rest Of the "Forty-Second
Street" formula.
There's no reason why mu-
sical pictures shouldn't stay
on. It's q welcome change
from straight talk" to hear
melodiO tunes oa the screen

10 the Motion Picture Editor:
The time has come to make
some Of the good old-fashioned,
wholesome stories of the past.
Why not "Way Down East"
again? There was a great pic
ture and it made millions for
D. w. Griffith. I think it could
be done over in sound and re-
peat its success.
My hat is off for your crit
icism Of the very evident at

Miss Perkins said employment
climbed 418,500 and weekly pay rolls
Jumped s12,904,000 in private in
dustry last month.
She hailed the increase as signs of
"a definite spring recovery which is
highly desirable
The increase means, she said, a
return to private industry of APP
proximately 2,750,000 workers since
March, 1888, and an estimated in
crease of weekly pay rolls of
$40 100000.
The March statistics were calcu-
lated on the new system used by the
labor department on the 1928 1925
average instead of the old basis of
1926 as an average. The reason is
that the three-year basis will pro-
vide greter accuracy and harmonic
with statistical information of other
government bureaus.
Under the three-year index. en-
ployment rose from TIT to 80.8 in
manufacturing industries and the
pay roll index increased from 60.6
to 64.8. Using the 1926 average, the
employment increase would have
been from 1875 to 1854 and pay rolls
from 55.5 to 594.
Miss Perkins said the employment
index is the highest since Deem
Der, 1880, and pay rolls reached their
highest peak since August, 1881.
The employment gain is more
pronounced than in March of any
previous year, while the pay roll in
