iniustices of the New Deal was

1 900 .999th patent, which in fact
attracted no attention at all.
Patent No. 1,999,999 came so very
near being Patent No. 100000

obvious even to those who are
sometimes a bit hardboiled about
suck things.

Glimpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

A BOUT two years ago q portly,
jovial actor in his early forties
was given a supporting role in Joan
Crawford picture entitled Sadie Nc
Kee." He was to portray the role of
a rich and good-natured dipsomaniac,
whose significance in the story was. OF
course, trivial compared to the Craw-
ford romances and heart-breakS.
When Sadie Mckee" was finished
1t was the fat gentleman's picture. not
Miss Crawford'S. He lifted every
scene in which he appeared, and made
his characterization the one outstand-
ing item in an otherwise trite and
sentimental affair.
Hollywood at once tuned up its
trumpets and pronounced the scene
stealer a find" Another great dra-
matte discovery was he. this Edward
Arnold. Everyone who had spoken to
him or loaned him a match during the
previous year when he was doing mod
crate bits around the studios now took
bows freely. The film colony had done
it again. Practically everyone was
willing to push head close to his as
the garlands were being hung.
The odd part about all this fanfare
was that Arnold was being discovered

after a mere 80 years in the theater.
He had been plastering on boards and
doing character parts since he was is
and turned professional when he was
not much older. He had found his
interest in amateur theatres so acute
that he invariably neglected any other
job he attempted. Some friend sug-
gested that the solution for that was
to make the theater his work. He
agreed.

WE ARE afraid that Grand Ges-
" ture" as presented last night by
the Roadside Players is not as yet up
to scratch. While it was played
thoughtfully and intelligently by one
of the city's big league casts. it fell
short of being either amusing. exclt-
ing or even very, very interesting. In
fact. to be quite honest, it dragged.
Miss Godfrey's story-which has. of
course, been told before-is not treated
with such blistering brightness as to
make it seem like new. And We have
suspicion that the script is in a
dire need of being tightened and
polished.
The actors did what they could.
however, even if Director Weinberger
erred occasionally by dumping his
characters in half-moon fashion
around the room. Laughs were sup
piled by Paul Walter and Dorothy
DietZ. Denis Connell did a splendid
job as the father Richard Stringfel-
low did an equally good job as Girls
pen Morel, Virginia Rand was as
handsome as she has always been and
Adele Gusack lent a distinctive note
as the daughter.
There just wasn't enough for them
to do-that's all. Miss Godfrey has
dismissed any thought of action from
her play-relying on the story of
young love versus old, and the grand
gesture" on the part of two young
people who find that their second love
is better than their first, to fill the
bill. Whether it fills the bill to suit
your taste depends on your humor.
Unfortunately last night we couldn't
whip up any humor about it at all
except maybe one.

Dear sir:
1.-THE Screen Writer'S Guild of the
Authors League of America, whose
members wrote more than 80 pc;
cent of the motion pictures produced
in this country (and some in England)
presents to you and to the other recog-
nized motion picture critics of America
herewith problem:
why is screen authorship the only
form of creative writing condemned to
the general dog house?
why do nine out of 10 people who
see good picture praise first the
acting, second the directing and third
(sometimes) the writing?
why do these same nine out of 10
seeing a bad picture, fume first about
the dreadful writing, and dismiss the
deficiencies in acting and direction
with the comment that those involved
did the best they could with the poor
material?
'Novelists are more famous than
their works. Short-story writer's are
so vital to sales that magazine covers
are noisy with their names. Play
wrightS worth their salt are known
and honored equally with the greatest
actors. But what picture fan could
name the authors of The Bengal
Lancer or Omen?
NO director in the business car
make good picture out of a bad
script. Yet any reasonably competent
director, given fine script, will make
a good picture. No director, nor ever
the greatest star, can survive a series
of badly written pictures. Any studio
whose writers failed to deliver good
scripts would be bankrupt in a year
Yet screen writing is a poor re-
1ation; stepchild, considered back
ward Why?
'The first and obvious answer is
that there is so very much bad writ
ing. We know that, and for such
writing hold no brief. We can only
assure you that the boys and girls
are doing the best they can. Bad
writing leads to bad cases of unem-
ployment, bad food, bad checks
Let's skip bad pictures (cries of II
We only could0. We are concerned
here with good writing in good pic
lures.
I'VE believe that Frances Goodrich
and Albert Hackett did as skillful a
Job OF adaptation on The Thin Man
as John Cotton and Clemence did
on Rain for the stage. That Dudley
Nichols screen adaptation of The
1nformer' is the literary equal to the
original book That Hecht and Mac
Arthur's original story and screen
play, The Scoundrel,' is as fine a
job of writing as any done in Ameri-
can fiction or in the American theater
in some time.
do you not agree that expert screen
plays such as these (and six to a
dozen more each year, are the life
blood of good pictures? And if so,
what can you suggest to bring this
most vital phase of national enter
tainment into the spotlight of public
understanding and appreciation.
IF public interest in film writing
can be stirred to one-fifth the Juror
caused by new coiffure on a S5 ,O0O-

be laid for the building of respected,
constantly improving and one-day
classic literature of the screen. Very

URGED
ON ITALIANS

MOSCOW, Oct. 4 UN.S).-A
call to Italian communists and
socialists to bend every effort to-
ward converting the invasion Of
Ethiopia into civil war in Italy
was sounded today by Harry Pol
lit, general secretary of the Brit
ish Communist Party and a mem
ber of the executive committee Of
the Communist International.
Italian soldiers are being urged
to desert to the Ethiopian army,
Pollitt declared in an article IN
the Leningrad Pravda.
He said soldiers in Italy are
being instructed to resist being
sent to Ethiopia, and that strikes
and demonstrations are being or
ganized. He wrote:
"The slogan, Down With War
is achieving greater and greater
popularity in Italy"
Pollitt also demanded that
Britain place an embargo on all
Italian shipping, close the Suez
to Italian ships, lift the arms en-
barge to Ethiopia. pledge to make
no loans to Italy and liquidate all
British concessions in Ethiopia.

ITALY IS HELD

BOSTON, Oct. 4 G.N.s) Italy
will conquer Ethiopia before De-
cember.
This was the prediction that
had been made. today by Gordon
MacCreagh, seven years adviser to
Emperor Halle ,SelaSsie.
MacCreagh told the committee
of one hundred Of Miami Beach,
Fla, at their sixth annual North
ern dinner last night that the
Ethiopians were using the same
guns and the same strategy with
which they defeated the Italians
at Adowa in 1896 while Italy has
kept pace with modern military
practices and equipment.
Ethiopia, he added, is a rich
prize, half fertile soil and the rest
divided between metals, oils, and
potential diamond mines.
The Raw Deal" was praised
and aSsailed before the gathering,
composed largely of retired indus
triahsts and financierS. Former
