A TRAIL BLAZER DIES
(The Minneapolis Labor Review

(Ine minneapolis LdDOT REVIEW
Death of julius F.. Emme brings to
a close the career of one whose sery-
ice to humanity cannot be recOunted
in single editorial nor the sterling
qualities of whose character fittingly
be commended in few fleeing mo-
mentS.
There was no working man and no
working woman in Minnesota who
read of Emme's death whom he had
not assisted. True it is that many
thousands of them had never met him
and that many perhaps had never
heard of him before.
Yet if they were workers Julius
Emme had brought them benefits.
1t seemed Emmes role in, life was
fated to be fighting for new ideas, to
be standing with the minority. He
seldom stood with the majority for
the same reason that the pioneer
when the country settled up pushed
on to newer and more uneAplCred
territory. He felt in that way he
served best.
Emme was ever blazing the trail.
Who can say that anyone gives great
er, service than the trail blazer, espe-
cially those who blaze new trails
through the economic wilderness,
trails that for themselves are paths
of danger but in the future become
| roads of security for millions less
thoughtful and less hardy than they
| who blazed the way.
Yes in economic ways and in legis-
| lative ways Emme blazed the trails.
What we mean when we say that he
| had aided every worker who read of
his demise is that he was one of the
trail blazers in the cause of work
mems compensation and other social
insurance that has been benefit to
and unorganized.
He advocated the legislation that
made it more difficult for employers
to pay their workers with worthless
checks instead of in legal tender.
Behind all progressive legislation
and supporting every advanced move
in the unions was the force of his
| magnetic personality.
He chose never to be a candidate
for office in his union, feeling he
could serve better as a rank and file
member, but appreciative of his serv
ice the membership bestowed on hin
the title of Past President.
Emme was a chemist of nationa
fame. Had he chosen to have devoted
his time to his profession rather thar
to aiding the organizations of thu
city workers and farmers, he would
have accumulated cons iderable we lth
He thought of the other fellow first
His own welfare was always cas-
aside by him.
Now death takes this inspiring fig
ure that in union meetings, politica
meetings, and labor CONVEX tions sound
ed always the call to advance. lie
the more timid counsel retreat. Hi
was ever the urge to progress.
There are thousands of us who will
, miss him. There are thousands VIII
are indebted to him for the servic
he rendered. To us his life will b.
, ever an urge and command to NOV
( forward toward that goal which whe
realized will make a contact betwee
heaven and earth, the real brother
hood of man.
1t was for that Julius F. Emm
lived. And it was for that he died.

'RuggIes' Back
At me"

"Ruggles of Red Cap" as a
novel, ranks as minor classic.
The picture version, which re-
turns to washington for weeks
run at the Metropolitan after one
week at the Earle, should rate as
a major classic.
This is the third time Harry
Leon Wilson'S story Of the English
valet who was won in a poker
game, brought to America and
eventually evolved into "a man
whose decisions are in his own
hands," has been produced in
movie form. The present talkie
adaptation is far superior to the
two previous silent versions. AS a
Broadway play, it was Taylor
Holmes most successful vehicle.
This picture is a comedy master
piece in every sense of the word
Underneath the broad vein OF
comedy, however, there is pathos
produced by the sympathy felt
for the meek, submissive Ruggles
whose heritage has been to serve
his English master, but who
finally wins his inward battle to
serve himself.
All the praise possible to
Charles Laughton's portrayal OF
Ruggles. Here is an actor as
versatile as they come, a past
master of timing and diction. a
king of pantomime and facial
expression.
His rendering Of Lincoln S
Gettysburg Address is a tribute
to the art and advancement OF
the cinema. Strange to say
Paramount Pictures executives
were reluctant to insert this
episode in the picture without
considerable persuasion by Laugh
ton. Thankfully, Charles won.
Charlie Ruggles and Mary
Boland are perfect as the Flouds,
Zasu Pitts is excellently cast as
Prunella (Ruggles' heart inter
est, Maude Eburne makes a
humorous, if slightly exaggerated,
Ma Pettingill, and pretty Leila
Hyams returns to the screen as
Nell Kenner.
Short subjects include a very
interesting newsreel ranging from
Babs Hutton in Reno to a view
of the beautiful cherry blossoms
and a Paramount comedy show,
ing a chimpanzee's experience on
a farm. M. B.

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rog-

wallace Berry plays Sergeant
Mike Scott, hardboiled flying in
structor of "West Point Of the
Air" He has watched the plane
develop from a crate-like affair
into the modern trim Speedster,
waiting all those years for his son,
young Mike, to finish his school
ing.
Fresh from the Military Acade-
my and a bit Swell-headed over
his triumphs on the football field,
Young Mike rebels against the
strict discipline of Army routine.
His father takes him in hand but
hasn't much cess in curbing
the youngsters ardent spirits. AS
a result of the disciplinin the
father is dishonorably discharged
from the Army for striking his SUI
perior officer, his son.
Spectacular Air Stunts
A half-dozen plane crashes,
stunt flying, spectacular forma-
ton flights, night aerial attacks
and wholesale parachute descents
make up for the defects of story,
which veers toward sentimental
ity.
Robert Young is cast as the
West Pointer son who for a time
shows a streak of yellow. Maui

girl friend and ever dependable
Lewis Stone handles the part OF
the commander of the air field in
his typically capable fashion.
i The Cab Callowav orchestra is
the entire stage attraction at the

band you have never heard the

a baton and take the bows. He is
eitl.er shuffling about the stage to
the melodious rhythmS of his boys

White TuIIe Bridal
Gown Worn by Star

It is really a good thing the
Hollywood studios are careful
about letting people on the "sets"
to watch scenes from pictures in
the making. Today there would
have been a panic on a certain
Paramount stage where Paris IN
Spring" is being made if several of
Hollywood'S eligible young bache-
lors could have seen Ida Lupino
in her white tulle bridal gown.
Flounces of tulle, over white
satin, and the most clinging silhou-
cite ascending from the flounceS.
A beautiful lace veil of voluro'n0'1S
dimensions, with a single ruffle of
the tulle all around it-and tiny
clusters of orange blossoms fasten-
ing the veil to Ida's blonde head.
This type of bridal gown is un-
usual for it is both unsophisticated
and modern.

Has Good Story
If, however, evergreen were
merely a matter of people and
material it would rank as moth
ing more than an able copy of
the Hollywood formula. Its songs,
it's ensemble numbers, it's atmos-
phere of backstage life contribute
little in the way of freshness or
novelty. What distinguishes it
from the usual run of well-pro-
duced musical films is a plot
which actually manages to get
somewhere. When you are not
following Jessie Matthews you
can follow the plot, and, fortu-
nately, you are able for the most
part, to follow them simultan-
eouSly.
Mr.. Benn Levy's story Of the
young actress who is thrust into
fame on the strength of her
mothers reputation is an allur-
ing one. Hattie Green, the toast
of London in the Edwardian era,
is force to flee to South Africa
because of the Matchmaking
threats of her husband, who in
conveniently turns up on the eve
of her marriage to the Marquis
of Staines.
TunefuI and Merry
Years later her daughter ap-
pears in London and is catapulted
into fame as the original Hattie
by a resourceful publicity agent.
The public acclaims her, not as
reincarnation but as a triumph
of the beauty parlor over matter.
All London is once more at the
feet of Hattie Green, and so is
the elder Hattie's husband.
Aware of the hoax, he attempts
to blackmail the daughter but is
effectually frustrated when the
younger Hattie publicly admits
the deception, thus paving the
way for her romance with the
publicity man.
It is a lively and workable
plot; substantial enough in it's va
riations and sudden twists to fur
niSh an interest that is independ-
ent of the musical comedy spec
tacle. Evergreen" one suspects,
would be good picture if it
were played as straight comedy.
Hollywood, undoubtedly, would
have provided Miss Matthews
with a better supporting cast.
There is room in the picture for
the kind of farcical support which
Sonnie Hale does not achieve and
for more exhilaration than is
evident in the contribution of
Barry MacKay as the juvenile
lead. But. even so. it is tune
full and merry picture, and one
which we would think should rec
ommend Miss Matthews to Holly.

harmonizing, the high pillared old
mansions in the moonlight, young
love blooming in the gardens;
Then there's Bing Crosby and

please the ear, some very beauti-
full girls to please the eye and
the lap, lap, lap of the river

on or about the Showboat, COM

There is plenty Of action, some
