Upon completion of "Crusades, !"
Cecil B. DeMille will undoubtedly
be criticized by few for his seem
ingly modern touches. T h e S e
faultfinders will be in the wrong,
for Gee Bee is the foremost stick
Ter for authenticity in our entire
industry; such a stickler in fact
that his diligent little research
bees have been so busy buzzing
into the studio archives, the en-
tire epic is taking on the aspect
of a literary brainStorm. One OF
the authenticities that will prob
ably amaze you most are some
chefs hats identical to those
worn by our modern day macs
tros of culinary arts.
Don't feel sorry for Grace
Moore because she was omitted
from the Motion Picture Acad-
emy awards, for she has just been
slipped a gold medal and a fel
lowship in the Society of Arts and
Sciences in recognition of her con-
tribution to the cultural life Of
America, through her opera, Zone
Night of ove". Victor McLag-
len has erected a clubhouse on
the grounds of his nine acre rec.
reation center and has dedicated
it to the principles of American
ism. Samuel Goldwyn, in his
own inimitable manner, will at
tempt to emulate the late Florenz
Ziegfeld by producing an annual
celluloid revue entitled THE Gold
wyn Follies."

fancy. There were whispers that
this character was offensive even
before the play reached Washing
ton. So Mae West toned the
dialogue down, engaged Ralph
Sanford to play the part and
hoped for the best.
They summoned Actor Sanford
to the District Building and were
surprised to find he was Scotch
Irish white gentleman, wondering
what all the shootin' was about.
Nevertheless Money Johnson.
having given the play a bad
reputation, failed to live it down
even in reform clothes.

closed abruptly, Mae West went
to Hollywood, and Actor San
ford's only pleasant relic of that
hectic Monday evening is a good
review of his acting printed on
these pages the Tuesday after
the fireworks.
Roberta's "Huck"
Roberta" makes a honey of a
screen musical, establishes Fred
Astaire as a Hollywood big shot
when dancing is the order.
The odd thing about this sue
cess is that the role of Huck
aaineS, Jazz band leader and
hoofer, was not even in the Alice
Duer Miller story, Gowns by
Roberta from which the musical
is derived. Otto Harbach, who
wrote the libretto for the Max
Gordon production, invented Huck
Haines.
AS Mr.. Harbach explains it:
'"There was no such animal in
Mrs. Miller's novel and when we
started to make a musical show
from it we found that the opus
would need a comedy character as
well as Kern's hit songs. So ]
thought up Huck, and here he is
tap dancing away in the film
He might have added that
Hollywood gave Huck real star
stature for Fred Astaire. The
role of Stefanie (played on the
stage by Tamara), assigned to
Irene Dune, was the dominant
one in the Max Gordon musical
roberta" in the footlight yer
sion, ended when Stefanie was dis
closed as a Russian princess.
At the studio they added ar
extra scene and a final fashion
show to get one more Astaire
rogers dance. It makes Roberta

Eddy in Concert
Looming on the concert hori-

gloriously in Naughty Marietta," I"
screened for a society audience

This is due at LoeW's Palace
Theater around Easter week.
Baritone Eddy is under con-
tract to Dorothy Hodgkin Dor
sey for a Washington concert
early next fall.
Gable Tied Tight
Metro Goldwyn Mayer seems
reasonably sure that the tre-
mendous popularity of dimpled
Clark Gable will survive. Many
have long term M-G-M contracts
but most have options that must
be taken up at the end Of six
months or a year.
Only Gable has a seven-year
paper without options. He gets
his full pay for the life of the
bond regardless of whether he
sinks to zero at the box office.
Among directors, George Cukor
has a five-year M-G-M optionless
contract. A reward for turning
out David Copperfield."
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer was stung
plenty on such a termer with
John Gilbert. He faded into the
fourth-rate box office class but re-
jected any and all efforts to settle
at so cents on the dollar or less.
Gilbert stuck it out though, col
lected enormous cash for doing
nothing.
One of the towns smartest press
agents, who must remain anony-
nous to save him embarrassment,
after viewing both exhibits Of a
novel newsreel idea reports:
From the March of Time to the
Limp of Time in One month" A
pretty good criticism in 13 words.
Movies Sell Books
It seems to be the booksellers
owe something to the movies.
They are surely creating a sales
turnover for classics that have
been gathering dust on the
shelves.
For instance this item from the
Saturday prints:
"The sales Of the novel,
'David COpperfield," have
trebIed since the motion pic
ture was produced, and prob
ably half million copies will
be sold between now and Christ

Announcement that such
classics as The Tale Of Two

he said, automatically creates

unthinkable that q classic could
be a successful motion picture,
and it was suicidal to label
anything educational"

 Cutting Reported

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Out of a welter of speculation and clash ing of counsels that followed NRA's death, many developments emerged to gain attention after President Roo5evelt indicated he was watch ing the country's reaction before deciding his course of action
 It is clear to many New Dealers that the hope for mass pressure by the public will aid them in salvag- ing the features of MIRA.
 Gen. Hugh s. Johnson. after a conference with President Roose- velt, offered a two point plan for stronger and better and more permanent NRA.
 Foes of MIRA showed disposition to examine any new plans with a critical eye.
 Meanwhile reports spread about price cutting but many industrial leaders continued to give assur- ance that wages and hours will re- main unchanged
 Price cutting centered on books, cosmetics. liquors, cigarettes, the latter selling for 69 cents carton in New York.

GEN. JOHNSON MAKES APPEAL,
 NRA'S RETURN
Declares Huge Gains Lost by Explosive Blund-
 er,' SupremeC Court

WASHINGTON, May 30.- The original champion of MIRA, Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, took up the cause of the demolished recovery agency with radio address last night as- serting that huge gains have been lost through "one explosive blun- der" from the Supreme Court.
 Gen. Johnson made his address few hours after President Roose- welt had declared the reaction in the court to the courts decision was paramount to Washington de- velorments.
 Price Cutting Starts
 After sketching conditions prior to MIRA, Gen. Johnson said with the institution of MIRA a new method was applied by which the "chiseling. fringe of any industry was prevented from using guerilla methods to promote business. With invalidation of MIRA; Gen. Johnson said, price cutting began at once. He mentioned the reduction in the price Of cigarettes in New York which. he said meant ruin to the small tobacconist."
 Appeals To Bcneficiaries
 Geli.. Johnson appealed to what he termed millions of beneficiaries of MIRA to inform their congress- men they desire their benefits con- tinued
 If they do not act immediately, {" said Gen. Johnson, we will see the worst orgy in wage cutting pos sible'
 Gen. Johnson declared, however, that he did not believe millions of jobs will be lost and hours of labor heightened or that gains made by MIRA will be destroyed. He called this "unthinkable.
