The fact that Sylvia Sidney is
famous for possessing the same
inscrutable smile as We find on
the famous painting of Mona Lisa
may come in handy for her high
ness. Walter Wanger is contem-
plating making a picture based on
the life of the noted painter
Leonardo de Vinci and he's trying
to get Miss Sidney to appear
therein as possibly the model 2or
the Mona Lisa.

wood to have the current releases
of the reigning stars compete
with those features which have
gone before and so I presume
that anna Christie" will be pre-
served in the files until long
after Greta Carlo has really re-
tired to her beloved Sweden.
There is, however, Min and
Bill" which Marie DreSSler re-
garded as her best picture. Shortly
after her death Metro -Goldwyn-
Mayer released this picture for a
showing at the Capitol Theater
in New York. The immediate re-
suits from a financial standpoint
were disappointing and brought
about the decision to retire the
Marie DresSler features per-
manently, or at least until such
time as there was a noticeable
public demand for their reissue.
The national reaction to the
showing of Will Rogers late pic
lures indicates that America feels
good wholesome laughter is too
precious to perish, too scarce to
mold and die. Might not the same
argument apply to Marie Dress
ler'S priceless celluloidS?
For as one of L. Stoddard Tay-
lor'S collected notices, adorning
the walls of the Belasco Theater,
says: "Art alone endures. The
Bust oHtlaStS the Throne, the Coin,

minds at large, his sOundneSS
and balance, his sense Of fair
play, and his native kindness
are all essentially American. He
is America at its best. That's
why we like him so much-we
see the best Of ourselves in
him. Will Rogers probably has
more good deeds chalked up
against him than anybody you
could mention Offhand. He is
practically the only public fig
ure 1 know who has kept his
hair, his wife and his sense Of
humor for rs years. And, I
might add, he's kept his box Of
flee appeal, too. I'd be willing
to stake my last dollar that If
you took a poll of the five best
beloved Americans today, you'd
find Will Rogers name leading
the list"
Time has proven every word
that Marie Dressler wrote about
Will Rogers was prophetic truth.

messed by more movie goers than
any Of his earlier screen efforts.
All of which leads me to re
spectfully suggest that now might
be an appropriate time to revive
Anna Christie" This was Greta
GarboS first talking picture, the
one in which the incompatible
Swedish actress demonstrated in
Eugene O'Neill's great play that
she had surmounted what many
believed would end her career
her accent and the necessity OF
making her acting art audible.
More than that, Anna Christie
revealed Marie Dressler as a mag
nificent dramatic actress.

his performance remains 1reSn
in my recollection as the supreme
example of the art of facial ex-
preston, Of telling gesture as
registered for the grinding cam
eraS. 1t made Marie Dressler's
position in Hollywood positively
secure. I should love to watch it
again and every aspiring actor or
actress could profit by studying
its matchleSs perfection.
Many said that Marie Dressler
took the picture. I never agreed
with that opinion. Nor do I now.
It is interesting to read again in
my Own Story" exactly what
generous and gracious Marie
Dressler had to say on that point:
'It was an enormous success.
At once it established GarbO on
throne which in my mind has
never been threatened. She was
magnificent. And some Of the
critics said that an ugly old
woman had stolen the show
from a beautiful young star.
"Of course this was not true.
Nobody could steal q show from
GarbO. What they meant was
this: They were surprised that

lighted In reading newspaper accounts

West Requests
Tax Exemptions
Be Filed Early

All churches and eX-service men
who have exemptions from county
taxes are asked to file their affi-
davits at once with Dan West,
county assessor collector who will
appreciate their cooperation.
All church property used eXcluS-
lively for religious worship is ex-
empt from taxation and veterans
have an exemption of $1,000 on all
property not exceeding $4,000 valua-
ton.
According to the law the county
assessment rolls must be turned ov-
er to the state board of equalization
by the first Monday in July and
the churches and the veterans, un-
der the law, have till that same
time to file their affidavits.
AS West points out, if the affi-
davits are not filed until noon of
the first Monday in July it is a
physical impoSsibility for his office
to turn over the assessment rolls
that noon.
Consequently, since the totals of
each page and the rolls must be
changed each time an affidavit is
filed, the office will greatly appre-
ciate the cooperation of churches
and ex-service men in filing affi-
davits at once.
The Los Angeles office informed
West that there are $4,000 affidav-
its not filed yet in that county.

LABOR SEEKS
APPROVAL Of
WAGNER BILL
Decision Against NRA Causes
Leaders To Seek Other Desir-
able Legislation

Copyright, 1885. by United Press
WASHINGTON, May 28-Organ-
lied Labor, shorn of NRA benefits,
today turned to congress for ia
Vorable action on the Wagner La
Dor disputes bill, the 30-hour work
week bill, and social security legis-
lation. One important group, the
United Mine Workers, massed its
strength behind the Guffey bill TO
provide government regulation for
the soft coal industry.
The construction industry was
disclosed as preparing behind the
scenes to follow the lead of btu
minous coal operators in offering
congress special legislation to take
the place of the recovery act. The
Guffey bill originated with the BIZ
luminous operators.
Labor leaders were disappointed
by the supreme court ruling and
determined to concentrate their
fire to obtain passage of other bills
which labor favors. Although the
6AdCG oGdGuS VI Ille ldUleu SeCGlOIl
IA of the recovery act was not
clear, labor believed that its declar-
alton of the rights of workers as
now embodied in the Wagner and
Guffey bills would not be affected
by the NRA decision.
Bituminous coal operators meet
ing here authorized their legisla-
tive committee to proceed with pre-
paration of amendments to the
Guffey bill which would not con-
flict with the supreme court find
ings.
' Labor leaders agreed the Wag-
ner bill, which already was con-
ceded good chances of passage, was
now in a better position due to
abandonment of NRA, provided it
is not constitutionally vulnerable.
They we're convinced its provisions
would not conflict with supreme
court findings against federal con-
troll over hours and wages of work
erS in both interstate and intra-
state commerce.
