 Hollywood-Go west, young man, go west-and if you want your dreams to come true, settle in Hollywood.
 That advice used to be pretty good, for boys and girls alike. And the film colony still is a pretty good place in which to realize the widest of your dreams.
 However, it isn't the only place as the celluloid celebrities read fly admit after rubbing elbows with recently imported stars to the ether waves.
 You also cca run over to youi nearest radio station. At least that's the conclusion after listen ing to tales spun by such radio favorites as Amos n Andy Helen Jepson, Benay venuta Myrtle Vail and Frank Mcintyre all of whom have been recruit ed for Paramount's "The Big Broadcast of 1885,"
 Four Years to a Record
 The famous blackface come. dians, who have set a record in the way of a sustained broadcast first radio appearance and national hookup. During those years they toured the south, appearing in "home talent" shows and doing broadcasts whenever they could get jobs.
 Then, without any effort or their part, a radio executive of- fered them a chance on the "big time" Since then, they have been on easy street.
 Miss Jepson began her career as a member of a chorus on a net work program. She was there for months. One night a soloist failed to show up. Helen was sub- stituted for her = and never re- turned to the chorus.

BETTE DAVIS IN | ANOTHER TRIUMPH
Brilliant Star at State The ater in Front Page
 Woman"

Bette Davis has done it again! The girl whose Mildred" in "Of Human Bondage" made every woman in the land hate her, and whose Marie" played opposite Paul Muni in "Bordertown," estab- lished her as the ''meanest woman on the screen", has turned to light comedy. Now as a newspaper re- porter she scores her greatest tri- umph in Front Page Woman" which heads a marvellous double feature program opening today at Warmers State theater.
 No one except Warner Bros, casting executives would have be- lieved Miss Davis could be suc- cessful in such role. It was as far from the heavy dramatic portray als for which she is famous as can be imagined.
 Bette is "Ellen Garfield" sob sister on the staff of the star, whose bitterest professional rival is George Brent in role of Curt Devlin Express" reporter, who loves Bette but believes women are bum newspapermen.
 Brent, too, is thoroughly at home in this role, in which he ap- pears to the best advantage. He needed just the fillup of humor and action the story provides to bring out his real talent.
 Roscoe Karns, as Toots O'Grady | Devlin's cameraman and constant | companion, provides a thread oi comedy throughout the picture | Winifred Shaw does a splendid bi, as Inez Cordoza, the missing eye witness of murder that forms the crux of the struggle between the two reporters.
 The added hit is ''Lady Tubbs" hilarious comedy featuring Alice Brady with Douglass Montgomery and Anita Louise. It is packed with laughs and proves diverting summer entertainment.
 | Wednesday is another banner day at the popular State. It ush' CTS in a new double feature pro- gram headlined by the stage sen. sation, Helen Gahagan in Rider Haggard's weird and wonderful story about a woman incredible "She". The odd title suggests s different picture and it is just that "She" boasts splendid cast in cluding Randolph Scott, Heller Mac kand Nigel Bruce. The com. panion feature will be Cham pagne for Breakfast" with Mary Carlisle and Hardie Albright. Don't forget Wednesday night is the biz night. Opportunity knocks with g $25O award awaiting some patror who attends that performance Come on down and perhaps you'l be making it the happiest evening of your life. Make the populai State your Entertainment date every Wednesday night.

  Finds Sponsor
 Miss Vail, of Mert and Marge fame, has similar success story to relate. T conceived my program while trouping in vaudeville" she says. "But after several prospec- tive sponsors told me the idea was insane, I was about to give up. Then I heard that P. K. Wrigley, Chicago gum magnate, enjoyed a little insanity in his entertainment. So I went to him. He liked my program and offered to sponsor it."
 Frank McIntyde, best known as Captain Henry of the Showboat, used to sit around the Lambs Club in New York and say that some- | one would have to die before he'd get a chance to demonstrate his ability. He coveted the Captain Henry role even then. But Charles | Winninger, who was singing it, was very robust.
 Suddenly Winninger decided to desert the radio and return to the legitimate stage. That gave Me- Intyre the chance he craved. And he made good the first night.
 No wonder our film stars are so willing to meet these newcom- CTS to the screen halfway. Their experiences equal any of Holly woods own from extra to star" stories.

Delaware Law Cited
 By Sterilizationists
Nation Poisoned By Rapid Production of Mental and
 Moral Detectives, Claimed

Wilmington, Del-(UP)-Steril- i3Ation of criminals and criminally- minded people is a better anti dote for the prevention of crime than the whipping post, according to Dr. Mesrop A. Tarumianz, state psychiatrist and superintendent of tn, Delaware State Hospital of the Insane.
 '.We have to face the fact" he said, that the nation is being poisoned by the rapid production oz mental and moral defectives. and to insure the survival of the Attest we have to control detectives"
 Under the Delaware sterilization law, which has been in operation since 1923, approximately 425 per- sons, both male and female, have been sterilized. One was prisoner who had the operation performed at his own request.
 Law Applies to Three Felonies The sterilization of criminals who have committed three felonies is one of the developments in the sterilization law sponsored by Dr. Tarumianz which was added to the earlier law during the 1929 session of the legislature.
 Before this part of the law can be carried out, however" the psy- chiatrist said, "the co-opsration of the court and the attorney general is needed"
 Dr. Tarumianz contends that Delaware's law is the best that has been set up anywhere. Every safeguard is provided for the per- son, and at the same time the pub- lic is fully protected against those mentally deficient" he added.

 The long agitation in France for a. charity stamp in favor of white collar workers has at last been settled, according to "L'Echo de Ia Trimbrologie." This paper says that the post office department has decided to issue a 50 cent adhesive, with a surtax of 1 franc. A new stamp of the "Sower" type has been received, 5 centimes value printed in ani- line rose.
 Two additional values, 15c lilac and 200 emerald green, are known of the fifth 1882 Nicaraguan series.

 It was explained by Dr. Taru- mianz that every person who was sterilized underwent the operation with the permission of the family or the patients nearest relative.
 Final authorization of steriliza- ton comes from the state board of charities, which also acts only upon the recommendation and re- port of the mental hygiene clinic of the state hospital and the su- perintendent of the state hospital or other institutions in which the person is confined.

Reaction

BY a Social Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK; am compelled to
write to you because Of the horror
and repuonance that l felt when l
saw the delegations of the Unem-
ployment Councils so brutally
beaten at the order of Administra-
tor HUMPHREYS of the Bronx Home
Relief Bureau.
Up to a few weeks ago. I had the
opinion that the Unemployment
Councils we're merely trying to stir
up trouble and did not really have
the troubles of the unemployed at
heart. want to apologize publicly
for this.
I want to further state that you
have my whole-h hearted Sympathies
in your work and as far as being
a social worker is concerned, 1 think
that your efforts to correct mall
practices in the Home Relief Blu
reau are more consistent with what
social workers should be doing than
are the practices of Mr.. HUMPHREYS
and his case supervisor, Miss Beat
rice Levine.
The latter is a huge fat person
very much like your cartoons OF
the heavy and slothful capitalists

ting relief allowances to such low
standards that I don't see why you
people don't come down in thou

County in a few weeks. All of the

10000 workers who had already
registered. This is an increase of
5000 who had registered their names
before the C.WA. work started.

Work relief started on small
scale. The average family of four
receives from Sill to sl3 a week

The Illinois Workers Alliance here
in EdWardsville, which is controlled
by the A, F. of L. has done nothing
to better the conditions of the I'M

done nothing to stop them except
that they have refused to allow
members of the A. F. of L. to go
to work on these jobs. Those work

dropped from the A. F. Of L. The

Relief Head Makes
Fascist Threat
By a W0rker Correspondent


CHICAGO, nl.-Fascism lifted its
loathsome head and snarled in des-
perate fear and murderous hatred
as Robert Durham. chairman Of
the Emergency Relief Commission,
celebrated Lincolns birthday by an
nouncing that all relief employees
found to have any connection what
ever with Communist activities, or
who are otherwise enemies Of our
present Government would be
sUmmarily discharged.
Stating that relief rolls would be
'ightened considerably" if aliens"
we're dealt with under existing
law" he urged the strictest en-
forcement of deportation laws.
Boosting that he had fired several
employees for attempting to organ
ize other relief workers and for
being present at a so-called Com
m uniSt" demonstration, he an
nounced that investigation was be-
ing made and necessary action"
would be taken on the charge that
relief stations had assisted in the
distribution of "cut-rate" tickets to
a Communist propaganda" stage
production. The "cut-rate" tickets
and the Communist propaganda"
referred to were the FREE tickets
distributed to Chicago's unemployed
by the Theatre Union for the great
working class play, "Stevedore," at
the Selwyn Theatre, which was to
many of these unemployed work
ers the first entertainment they had
been permitted to enjoy in years.

in the war. The question now is
to feed and to maintain the masses.
That is more important. Against
this need ali other needs must stand
aside.
If the prevailing national econ
omy cannot provide the necessities
to feed and to maintain the masses
of workers, then it is hopelessly
bankrupt. 1t should acknowledge
this bankruptcy and go into re-
ceivership, I am sure that the work
ers are ready to take over the re-
ownership. If, however, the existing
national economy refuses to declare
its bankruptcy it must stop acting
the bankrupt and must meet it's
obligations. Its first and foremost
obligation is to feed and to house
and 20 clothe ali of the people. This
obligation demands of them the
maintenance Of the working masses.
The masses are entitled to this
maintenance.
Congress must recognize that the
masses of workers have only the
proceeds of their labor power to live
on. Whenever through no fault Of
their own they are unable to turn
their labor power into an income,
when unemployment deprives them
of jobs, when sickness or disability
disables them, when old age dis
qualities them, it must provide for
them an income other than wages.
This income must be social insur-
ance. House Bill 1927 provides this
income for the masses.
The purpose of social insurance
is the establishment of guarantee
of continuous existence for the
workers. AS long as the worker
himself can guarantee his existence
and the existence Of his dependents
by working, well and good. But
when for social reasons beyond his
control he can no longer provide
the means Of his and his dependents
existence, the government has to
provide these means.
