airy dynamite around and that some Of these
modest inflationary steps of the president may
result in setting off the fireworks. Then prices
will skyrocket and the average man will find
out what initiation means. All that happens now
is that prices are up a bit on all you buy, work
ers on a stated wage live just a little bit more
poorly but hardly enough to complain about -
and things go on smoothly enough to keep the
Roosevelt smile percolating.
There are ways to beat initiation - buy goods;
go in debt; sign wage contracts providing for
periodical adjustment as many unions now do

Wisconsin Tries Social Insurance

Wisconsin, which Progressives boast as the
state which has made itself a laboratory of So
cial reform, started August l , 1884, on the ex-
pertinent of unemployment compensation.
After that date, every Wisconsin employer
with 10 or more workers engaged not less than
Is weeks in the year must begin putting a sum
equal to 2 per cent of his monthly payroll into
the compensation fund. This is to be done
monthly for two years; after that, the contribu-
tion is 2 per cent whenever the reserves amount
to less than SIS for each employee; l per cent
when the reserves per worker are between SIS
and SIS, and at that last figure, contributions
stop until the reserves drop below that point.
Unemployed workers drawing from the fund
get not less than SIS nor more than $40 a week
for not more than 10 weeks of the year. About
100000 workers in the state will be affected.
The law was passed by a special session of the
legislature called by Governor "Phil" La Folle-
tie in 1881. Like most La Toilette measures, it
is worked out in careful detail, and moves with
caution. It's hackers believe that it will show
definite results in stabilizing buying power; and
certainly, students of social problems will watch
it with the keenest interest.

California Anti-Labor
Drive Breaking Down

SAN FRANCISCO (FP)-Califor
MAS anti-labor and a%nti-radical drive
is beginning to break up. Public SEN
timent continues to grow in protest
against the un%restrained attacks on
labor's rights during and since the
general strike.
A group headed by Bishop Parsons,
Rabbi Reichert, Will ]. French (Ad-
ministrator Creers right-hand mar in
the NRA) and Louis Bartlett Tex
mayor OF Berkeley has signed a
statement protesting "curtailment Of
free speech, unlawful interference with
the rights OF the individuals, and every
manifestation of mob violence and
lawlessness, no matter by whom or
against whom"
The statement remarks further IF
we have reached a point where we are
willing to respect the civil rights only
of those with whom we agree, and to
deny them to any unpopular minority,
then law and order have ceased to
exist"
The Building Trades Council of
Santa Clara county has condemned
the anti-labor raids and deportations
in San Jose as "a menace to a demo-
cratic and orderly form of govern
ment' and has asked that viligantes be
arrested and tried. The resolution &C
cused the vigilante committees of
Seeking to subvert the orderly pro-
cess of law and substituting Fascism
or dictatorship"
Over the protests of labor men and
liberal clergymen, the San Jose ordi-
nance f~orbidding meetings in St.
James Park has passed its second and
final reading. Rev. Hubert Doran of
the Centella Methodist Church de-
nounced it before the city council as
"un-American and violating the pro-
visions of the constitution"
A hunger strike has been started by
20 Communists in San Francisco's jail
to enforce their demand that bail be
reduced. Two of the hunger strikers
are women. Police Chief James Bo-
land, threatening them with a fire
hose, said that these prisoners are no
different from others charged with
vagrancy." A habeas corpus writ has
refused for 10 of them.
A new organization made up of war
veterans irrespective of other %affilia-
tons, called the United States Vet
Grams, is being organized in San Fran
by one William Otis, a private
detective. 1t is planned for the pur-
pose of driving all Communists and
Red agitators out of San Francisco"
In Sacramento, the Workers School

Mellon Aluminium Co.
Defies Union and Bars
Bargaining

was
the brief and emphatic answer given
by Andrew w. Melons Aluminium
Co. of America to the demands of
aluminium workers Tor recognition of
their union.
Formal demand for the checkoff of
union dues, seniority rights and the
adjustment of grievances relating to
unfair layoffs was presented by a ma
tional committee representing 10000
organized workers in practically all Of
the country's aluminium plants.
The management had requested 10
days in which to consider the demands.
In the course of these 10 days, work
ers report, activity in the plants in
creased at a tremendous pace. Work
ers who had not been given more than
two or three days work in any one
week for months were given full-time
employment. At the end of the pc
Rod, which expired August 3, the an
swer came in the form of a flat and
unqualified refusal of all demands.
Aluminium workers, although solidly
organized, operate under federal char
tiers, so that permission for a strike
must come from the executive council
of the A. F. of L. To effect some
form Of concerted action the various
locals have banded together in a Ma
tional Council which, however, has
ne been officially recognized by the
A. F. of L. This council, meeting in
Chicago July 8 decided to proceed
with strike plans if recognition were
not granted. Representatives of the
A. F. of L., however, interviewed and
took charge of the situation,
Most of the workers are not eager
to strike. They recognize, however,
that they must take aggressive action
in order to guarantee some measure
of security against a reduction in
wages and discriminatory layoffs. The
impending strike is looked upon by
many workers as a necessary evil and
there is every indication that a walk
out, if called, would be solid.

Olson Revokes Truck
Permits; Bares Spies

MINNEAPOLIS. -(FP)-All mill
tary permits for the 1000 trucks
which had been operating in Mime
apolis during the three-week strike
under martial law have been revoked
by orders from Gov. Floyd B. Olson.
Olson acted to restrict truck transport
tation when the employers refused to
come to an agreement with the strik-
ers as proposed by federal mediators
at the end of a time limit he had set.
The strikers had protested repeat
edly against issuance of the permits,
insisting that trucking was almost nor
NAL under the permit system, while
they were being prevented from eff

JEWEL THIEVES HOLD

The only reaction this reviewer got
from THE Notorious Sophie Lang /"

MS present vehicle gives him little
opportunity. Both the thieves boast
OF their professional pride and the

10 outdo the other in jewel snatch
lngs. However, the hard-boiled Sophie
slips and falls in love with her law

We leave them standing at the rail
OF an England bound ship, having

scene we find Stone radioing Scot

the British police are as inefficient
as Stone and his force, Sophie and
Max Bernard (Cavanagh's screen

Leon Enrol is a "gumshoe sleuth"

comedy here and there. The rest of

METROPOLITAN
HAS MAE VEST
FILM FOR WEEK
''Belle of the Nineties''
Makes a Shift Along
F Street Movie ROiU.

For those who still haven't had the
sometime to go up and see Mae West
in her latest word-chewing and hip
swaying exhibition, called Belle of the
Nineties" in difference to the censors
who wouldn't have approved even if it
was named "Little Annie Rooney" the
expurgated film edition of another
West show is being given its second
week of Washington unreeling at the
Metropolitan this week.
And despite the censorship shears
the piece is lusty entertainment that
still packs the kind of wallop your
old Uncle Oscar buckled under several
decades ago, what with its beef trust,
open-air prize fight, gambling joints
and even an old-time fire.
Probably to keep her from doing
something worse, Miss West sings
more than ever in this one, and while
her voice shouldn't cause Grace Moore
to lose any sleep, she nevertheless can
shove across a ditty, especially the
wailing type that oozes from the brass
of Duke Ellington's torrid music ag-
gregation.

Mack Brown, Promoter Deluxe John

censor committee meetings is back in
her individual niche beneath a circus
tent hat and scads of plumeS.
After giving the run around in turn
to Mr.. Pryor, Mr.. Brown and Mrs.
MILAN, this belle of the nineties
patches it all up with her first flame,
which would be Tiger Kid Pryor, and
ends it all in blaze of glory by

through with a marriage ceremony
ending for the benefit of Mr.. and Mrs.

A Big Picture, and Really

it Has Its FdiIings.

Cecil 3. De Mile wasted no time
or expense on Cleopatra" the new
film at the Palace. He got actual
pictures of the Nile and stuck lis
Cleo thereon. He went out and
bought himself an asp and presented
it to Miss Colbert as part of her
assignment. He bethought himself
of one of the most mammoth enter
tainments ever devised with which to
break down Antonys will power when
the warrior was debating whether Or
no he should allow himself to fall
in love with Egypt" He got thou

gadgets and then played around with
them until they seemed to do. Then
he said, "Camera!" and "Cleopat. g."

Cleopatra" began all right-but it
didn't really end. 1t is a sumptuous
film full of people and things, but
somehow it misses. Mr.. De Mile,
famous for the way he conjures spec
tacles up out of the ground, is also
famous for his bad taste. In this case,
he went wrong with the choice of his
heroine. and thereon down.
Claudette Colbert, never to be for
gotten for her work in 1T Happened
One Night" does not quite jell as
Egypt's queen. Trying to play the
role like Katherine Cornell Ethel
Barrymore, Helen Hayes and Claud-
cite Colbert all in one, she succeeds
in playing it like nothing at all. At
one moment she looks like a kitten
and the next like a doll. Never for
one instant can you believe that she
Is that popular woman of the Nile
who tr1cked Mr.. Shakespeare and Mr..
Bernard Shaw into writing about her.
Nor does Mr.. De Miles pilgrimage
to England to find himself an Antony

Henry Wilcoxon's Antony is satisfac-
tory, but no bombshell. He seems
little bit like naughty overgrown
Schoolboy throughout.
Warren Williams Caesar is the
best thing in the show-and the best
scene is where De Mile hauls I'D
bunch of pearl divers out of the sea.
There is also a fantastic moment
when Cleo, having at last succeeded
in getting Antony to make love to
her, Sneaks him away on her barge,
a pair of curtains like you'd see in
Radio City hiding their love tryst,
dancers dancing for no good reason
in the foreground and the giant
barge. gliding off to Egypt with Roxy's
best orchestra to assist in the works.
Great big moments like this make
cleopatra" something to see, but if
you are fond of your Antony and
Cleopatra legends we don't think that
Mr.. De Miles new version will make
you either sing or cheer. And we
believe that Mae West would have
made a much better Cleo.

program. It's one of the best.

The Richest Girl in the World" Has Fable
Story, but Some Fine Work by an Excellent
Cast-"Short" of College Songs.

1t would be a mistake to let those
boogie men of Hollywood, the film
title writer's, frighten you with that
moniker, The Richest Girl in the
World" which they have attached
to the film at R-K-O Keith's this week.
Perhaps the most diverting and best
played version yet built around the
theme of the poor little rich girl who
funny than fatuous, and manages to
be genuine If plutocratic.
Since Oriental history was forgot
ten, great wealth has been regarded
as an American invention, producing
legendary figures whose lives are said
to be mysteriously different from those
of mere millionaires and bootblacks.
Strange have been the fables woven
around these gilt-edged names, but
none more extraordinary than that of
Miss Dorothy Hunter, lass so rich
and by proxy powerful that she had
never been seen or photographed in
her native land, sent her secretary
forth in the world to double for her
whenever public appearances seemed
necessary, and in her ivory tower
longed for a taste of romance.
Returning to America a gilded
orphan after a childhood passed
chiefly in Europe, she had little to
console her except few billiard balls
and the fatherly counsel of a guardian
named Jonathan ConnerS. Her fiance,
a lean young man too fond Of his
nip, announced to her upon arrival
that he had uncovered true love else
where and was no longer excited by
the prospect of a merger with her
stocks and bonds. Piqued but de-
termined to find young man who
loved her for herself alone, she
chanced to encounter one Anthony
Jarvis, customers man in brokerage
house and a rather lusty hero in his
own right.
She was not shy about winning $50
from him at billiards and encour-
aging him to launch her upon the
lake in a canoe, but she lost ground
rapidly when Anthony showed of with
the secretary impersonating the ich-
est girl in the world, and left the
original (of course. impersonating the
secretary stranded ashore.
Thick and fast the complications
flew thereafter, and it is giving away
no secret to tell you that eventually
Anthony was violently attacked with
yearnings for the lass he thought a
mere short hand artist, carried her
off triumphantly. and unwittingly be-
took unto himself more money than

BALLET MAKES
DECIDED HIT
ON FOX STAGE
FOkine Group in. CLASH
cal EshibitiOn-Picture
Stars Constance Bennett.

Our critical hat is doffed and then
tossed high in the air in honor of the
Fokine Ballet and Manager Carter
Barron, who had the courage to lure
into Loew's Fox this week the most ia
nous Of modern dance troups.
Unabashed by the obvious difficult
ties of presenting purely classical and
artistic exhibition in picture house,
where large percentage of the cash
customers come to see and hear, run
and forget again, Manager Barron has
brought to Washington show in a
thousand. Its success or failure will
be something of critique of local ap-
probation, but admittedly there are
obstacles to be skirted before even the
cheering section can hope for full en-
joyment of "Bolero," Les Sylphides"
and Prince Igor" the program Of
fered here by the Fokine company.
An hour and more of ballet is an
evenings entertainment per Sc. In
addition the Fox offers "Outcast
Lady" a second screening of Michael
Arlen's The Green Hat" and the
usual complementary features. With
an amusement pallet somewhat jaded
by a session with the rocco sophis-
tication of Mr.. Arlen's Iris March
and Napier and Gerald, it is scarcely
possible to approach Fokines pro-
duction in a fitting mood. Therefore
we propose to you the wisdom of ex-
amining time schedules of enter
ing the Fox at the hour the stage
curtain rises, in order that you may
relish the delights thereof as If they
alone were to be offered.
After an hour with the gracile
charms of the dance, the brilliant
musical score ably performed by a
somewhat limited orchestra, it may be
possible to sit back and muse over
"Outcast Lady" as if it were a
warmed-over cup of coffee post Sc
quitur a gourmand's repaSt. Taken
IN the reverse order, you will scarcely
find Miss Constance Benefits latest
starring cinema an aperitif on the
menu.
Michael Arlen once wrote a very
good story about a gallant girl of good
breeding and bad heritage who could
not have the man she wanted. mar
ried another and covered his suicide
on their wedding night by telling
some self-incriminating lies. The tale
was constructed Skillfully, had its dra-
matte SpurtS and was ornamented
with the temporal artifices Mr.. Arlen
called a style. Since then various
theatrical treatments have been in
f1icted upon "The Green Hat" and
perhaps the least satisfactory of these
is "Outcast Lady"
In compensation for its deficiencies,
the film serves up Miss Bennett in
some alluring garb. adds a neat per-
formance by Herbert Marshall and
another by the always dependable
Henry Stephenson, and retains a few
OF the eccentric touches which made
the original good reading
AS for the specific virtues of the
Fokine ballet, We hesitate to venture
details in a field where enthusiasm
far overshadows technical knowledge
but you are advised TO see it now, to
prepare yourself against the day when
it will return to town at S22 and up,
without Miss Bennett, Mr.. Marshall.
