THE Secret Bride" is a catch
title for film which misses great
ness because of the weakening Of
principal role, evidently in an
effort to built up the feminine
lead.
Political Story
The story concerns itself with
the near-impeachment Of a gov.
ernor; tangles itself in mesh Of
murders and suicides and still
ends happily for the prominent
parties.
Warren William as the District
Attorney. secretly married to the
daughter of the governor, finds
himself bound in loyalty and de.
votion to his father-in-law in
political frame-up and yet protects
the interests of his position. The
play was, evidently, mans play
with the bride incidental, but
since Miss Stanwyck is starred
the role was built up generously.
The cast is exceptionally fine.
Miss Stanwyck and Mr.. William
give much to their roles and are
supported by such tried and true
players as Grant Mitchell, Arthur
Byron, Glenda Farrell and Doug.

This stems from an original story by Vicki
Baum (of Grand Hotel') with the adapta-
tion made by Edgar Allan Woolf, ibretto
by Oscar Hammerstein II, and music by Sig

of names might be expected to produce dis
tinguished entertainment. What they offer
in "The Night Is Young" is pleasant, musical

side such notable accomplish
ments of the past as Beau

sembles, 1.-The Three MusketeerS. !"
1.-The Big Parade" and few other
tales of courageous hearts and
adventuresome spirits.
It is a story of India, Kipling's
India, and the manner in which
a handful of British soldiers
maintains the whip hand over
300, 100000 people.
Those who like fast and thrill

Gary Cooper gives a fine &C.
count of himself as the courageous
but hard-headed Scotch Canadian,
McGregor, who rebels against the
strict disciplinary methods of his
commanding officer, who lets his
only son be carried off into the
hills by the tribesmen because
of devotion to duty.
Franchot Tone has a real
he-man role at last as Mac
Gregor's junior officer, Forsythe.
The episodes in which these two
figure are the most enjoyable in
the picture, particularly the scene
in which Forsythe, who has been
annoying MacGregor by playing
Mother Machree" on a native
bagpipe-like instrument, draws a
cobra into the barracks by his
playing and dare not quit for
fear the snake will strike if the
music ceases.
Is Well Acted
Other diverting episodes are
the entertainment of the British
troops in the palace of an Indian
prince and the Indian equivalent
of fox hunting-pig sticking.
The climax of the picture, the
battle between the British and
the heavily armed natives against
a background of towering noun.
tains is as stirring a scene as
one could ask for.
Besides Gary Cooper and
Franchot Tone, Richard Crom-
well and Sir Guy Standing have
important roles. Kathleen Burke,

the cast, is employed by Mo-
hammed Khan as a decoy to

A. F. of L. States Boom Coming In
 Next Few Years
(By The Associated Press)

My iiS 1hoSoNiS'sSo I Noob
 Washington, Nov. 25, - A business and industrial boom within the next few years was predicted today by the American Federation of Lab- or.
 The A. F. of l.. forecast was coupled with a warning to both capital and labor that another depression would follow the next boom unless the hours were shortened and a greater share of industrial earnings went into wage en- velopes.
 The return of confidence to a greater extent since the de- pression began was listed as the outstanding factor upon which the favorable forecast was based.

Uncle Wiggily to himself. "This

He looked around the corner of an

"Hello, Mr.. Stubtail!" For the

On WARPATH

MANILA, May 5. U.R) (Friday)-
An uprising of Sakdalistas, men,
bers of a Communist organization,
was reported early today from the
provinces.
Several telephone lines north and
south of Manila have been cut.
Twenty-nine Sakdalista suspects
have been rounded up in Manila
and placed under arrest.
Major J. E. H. Stevenot of the
Philippine constabulary reported
all telephone lines north, including
lines to Baguio, famous summer
capital of the Philippines, had been
cut at Marilao, IA miles north TO
Manila.
Major Stevenot said all telephone
lines south had been cut at Bin
an, 13 miles away.
Many rumors were circulated
that the SakdalistaS intended to in
wade Manila.
A constabulary detachment was
ordered rushed to Marilao, which is
in Bulacan province.
The bureau of posts reported at
12:48 a. m. (848 a. m. psf that
all of its telegraph lines north of
Manila were down, undoubtedly
cut by the Sakdalistas.
Only communication northward
was by radio to Baguio.
Authorities said all communica-

NE PAY WE'LL FOR 1T

On the editorial page of The Press
readers find daily column from Wash
ingtOn under the title Don't Quote Me-
1t IS q popular column with many read
ers, containing as it frequently does ''in-
side information on affairs at the ma
tional capital.
We recommend to all readers that they
peruse today's column so that they may
get an idea Of how business is conducted
by the United States senate, frequently
referred to as the greatest deliberative
body in the world"
If one out OF 10 readers can tell what
ii is all about, or follow the article
through to an accurate understanding, it
will indeed be surprising. The reason
for such low possibility in understand
ing is not the fault of the reporter who
wrote the article, but with the supreme
~ complex manner in which the affairs
Of the senate are conducted.
The reader will note that not even the
senators themselves knew what they
were trying to do nor why they were try
ing to do it. Vice-President Garner
seems to have had some idea of it. but
this is because a parliamentarian sits be-
side him to follow the procedure and in
form him what is before the senate and
in what shape it is.
It might be we'll for the reader to re-
member that the senate deliberates on
matters concerning over 120,000,0O0 per-
sons and involving billions of the peo-
pies money. He might then ask him
self what would happen to any corpora
ton or firm attempting to conduct its
business affairs in this manner. How
long would it last?
Earlier in the week this column called
attention to the program of citizenship
to be followed out in valley schools next
year. Today's Don't Quote Me- column
is proof of the need for instruction in
government and governmental procedure.
Perhaps if the nation can eventually pro-
duce a group of citizens who will insist
On their government being conducted on
q businesslike basis, instead Of according
to archaic custom and the whins of poll
ticians, the United States senate will
know what it is doing and then the peo-
pie will also be able to know.
The reader should not lose sight Oh
the fact that each senator is drawing q
salary of $4,000 a year, plus "lnclden-
tails" which make it considerable more
than that-for running in and out OF the
chamber to find out what is going on.
This column will thankfully receive
all the dimes anyone may wish to send
in. but will make absolutely no promise
to ioin one Of the presently popular
dime chain letters.
