cheeks. Miss Harlow had scored
This is not to say that the new
Harlow-Powell picture IS one long
agony. For the first part it is light
and entertaining-acted with great
good humor by its two stars and by
Franchot Tone, who scores again in
the role Of a bounder. But when the
film turns definitely toward a we'll
known shooting and suicide, involv-
ing a stage performer and son OF
the idle rich, the moment for gay.
Sophisticated banter is over and in
Tits place comes the new Jean Harlow.
That she scores in this new role Is
obvious. Standing on the stage OF q
vast New York theater, singing her
heart out after bitter fight to re-
turn to the stage, she is given a good
old razz by the audience-the sort OF
heckling that would turn most per-
formers to stone. Not she. Stopping
her song, she walks calmly to the
footlights, tells the naughty boys and
girls that they had best mind their
manners, says quite positively that
she did not shoot Mr.. Tone, pleads to
be given a hearing until at least her
song is ended, then steps back and
finishes to the thunderouS applause OF
the multitude.
While this situation is as old as
Methusaleh, it is handled so skill
fully by Director Fleming and the
star that those doubts that begin to
swell as the scene began are soon dis
pelled. Miss Harlow more than gets
away with it. In fact, she gives the
show a sensational climax.
The advance that this girl has
made in picture playing is enormous.
If you remember her, draped lnfor-
mally in that wrapper in "Hells
Angels" you'll realize after seeing
Reckless" what tremendous strides
she has made. Not only has she got
ten better looking, but she has added
a little talent here and little talent
there, overcoming sloppy walk she
had in the first place, a sloppy vocab-
ulary and a kind of a bleached look
all around. Now she walks and talks
with the best of them, and her platl-
mum hair is as tame as the rest of her.
Reckless" should be a rollicking
success. While its music is disap-
pointing, its actors and theme give
whatever the music may lack. Then
there is May Robson in one OF her
saltiest characterizations; Nat Pendle-
ton turning in another dumb-cluck
performance, and Ted Healy around
for good measure (although he seems
mostly lost in the Shuffle).
M-G-M couldn't have done better
than give both William Powell and
Tone to Miss Harlow. The former is
a nice guy, the latter q cad. They are
both swell in their parts. Some day
we should like to see them change
places.

CARVEYITES HOLD
CONFAB in PiIHA.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. That
Garveyism is not dead in the I'm

wildly here Sunday and Monday
when delegates from IS states at
tended an American convention Of
the Universal Negro Improvement
Association at the call Of Samuel
A. Haynes, national representative
of Marcus Carney, who is now in
London, England.
The purpose of the convention
was to put into action in America
an economic program which was
announced in the wosd conven-
ton Of the organizations in Aug
ust, 1884.
Mr.. Haynes, well-known news
paper man in the East, presided
over the convention. e. Washing

American Negroes to support the
association.

restrict jury service IN Alabama
to qualified voters viii be intro
dueed in the state senate by sena-
tor Bonner Of Camden, he announ-
ced here last week.
The purpose Of the bin Is to at
tempt to get around the United
States Supreme Court decision in
the scottsboro case.
Observers were quick to see the
connection between the U. S. SUI
preme Courts decisions in the
Texas primary case and the scotts-
boro case. Although the seotts-
boro decision was great victory.
southerners Immediately tied It up
with the Texas decision denying
Negroes the right to vote in The
Democratic primaries and Senator
Bonner's proposed bill is the re-
suit Of their study Of ways and
means to still exclude Negroes
from jury service.
Senator Bonner's bile brings to
the front once more the great inn
portance Of the various primary
fights which have been carried on
in the past ten years and which
on occasion have been denounced
as useless by some persons who
did not realize their importance.
Supported by a decision which
effectively disfranchises Negroes,
it is possible that reactionary ele-
ments IN the South win be able

ject, to registered voters.
