w. C. Fields, who has been accused
of being a modern version Of
Micawber, got much applause and
laughter through his Interpretation
of that gallant gentlemans part.
Too Many Characters.
Yet, as I have said, the dramatic
march of the picture was interrupted
too often to make it q gripping story.
Perhaps it was because there were
too many characters to be presented
and identified.
At any rate, the picture divides it
self into two parts, the life Of David
as child and the story Of his man
hood, with the first part much better
than the last.
1t has been suggested that the pic
ture be presented in two parts, but
this isn't deemed advisable, and the
present film, episode though it is, will
probably be released as whole.
If the studio had made only the
story of Copperfield as child, end
ing it with his life with Aunt Betsy,
they would have been able to bring
out the charming background of
David's life in its entirety, instead Of
being forced to cut the story down
to a minimum In order to crowd 1t
into the time allotted film.
AS it stands at the present time,
it is not the result of bad direction,
but rather the result of attempting
too much for a single fllm.
If it causes as much discussion
when 1t Is shown throughout the
country as it did among the pre-view
| audience who saw it, it's sure to
make money, anyway.
When I say the crowds fought
their way out Of the theater, mean

of money, about her future as ar
actress. Fragile, vivacious Miss O'Con'
nor merely shook her radiant red heae
vigorously and replied-whatever Is
the Gaelic equivalent of mo"
To herself, she added, mo thanks
for the stereotype"
There is nothing presumptuous OF
impertinent about this young lady's
attitude toward the vast, wealthy
amusement racket known as the
cinema industry. All matter OF per-
sonal preference, and no doubt the
influence of early training formulated
that taste. To be specific-in pictures
the star system requires an actor or
actress to adopt type and stick to IT.
The cockney lover who smacks sweet
hearts. The fragile hero. The muscular
hero, who talks out Of the corner OF
his mouth. The heroine with huge
eyes. The heroine with small eyes.
The wistful heroine. The siren. The
girl Of the golden ankles, etc., etc. The
ambition of every young film aSpirant
Is to succeed in catching the public
fancy as the epitomy Of one OF these
types, and forever after appear in the
same role, replayed in different stories,
the stories in turn being designed by
scenarists to afford the star an op-
portunity to perform according to type.
A nice round method, apparently quite
satisfactory to a public which writes
off the movies as entertainment rather
than experience.
Imagine, If you can, an actress
walking into California studio some
day and announcing she would like
to portray the whole bundle of types,
each in succession. That she would
like to be a 10-year-old child In one
picture and a w1stful harlot in the
next. That she would relish having
the romantic lead in her third film
and the part Of a tubercular wrath
In her fifth.

ing gypsies to learn what might be
done with such a mad woman. Yet
our comely Irish friend, Miss O'Con-
nor Is not mad. She is 81 years old,
knows IA different roles she could
reel off in as many nights and in her
present position she experiences pre-
cisely the variety Hollywood would
call insanity. She likes it. On some
nights she appears in important
characterizations. On others in bits.
That is the Abbey Theater system
and she likes that. too. This is her
first year on the stage, yet her reper-
toire Of parts is more extensive than
that of many a veteran American
actress. Before the company accepted
her into the first ranks she had two
years of concentrated study in the
theater school. She learned to read
the poetry of her native bards. That
In itself Is q rarity over here. Almost
unheard Of, in fact, since the poetic
ear Of our dramatist is attuned-emo-
tionally and philosophically-to the
spasmodic jerks Of the police tele-
type.
And so, as we once said somewhere
in the dim past, Miss Aideen O'Con-
nor has kissed Hollywood goodbye
before she really met it. We're glad
she did and hope she meant 1t, since
she undoubtedly will find through the
years that for fulsome theater, Synge
is more fun than Sing Sing.

Yet, despite all this excitement and

short of being the great picture that
most people expected to see.

It has a number Of first-rate per-

quality that story of this sort should

By the Associated Press.
American Federation of Labor lead
ers, who have expressed concern over
the crumbling of N. R. A. codes with
their collective bargaining provisions,
gathered today in hurriedly called
session to consider what 10 DO about 1t.
The legislative program they chart
ed for the present session of Congress
included these measures around which
hot controversies have ragged:
l. The Wagner bill to set up a
strengthened Labor Board, outlaw
company dominated unions" and
provide for majority rule in collec-
tive bargaining.
2. The Connery 30-hour-W bill.
3. The Guffey bill to regulate the
soft coal industry with a little N.
r. A."
Code Benefits Sought.
A fourth piece of legislation still
undrafted would be designed, leaders
said, to preserve labor features OF the
codes.
Questions of conStitutionality brought
expressions of unconcern from PreSl-
dent William Green. Speaking of the
debate over the Connery bills consti-
tutionality, he said:
Let it go up to the court again.
Let them knock it out if they wish
The N. R. A. decision shouldn't influ-
ence Congress on other labor legisla-
ton"
In an effort to remove doubts about
the conStitutionality of the Wagner
bill, proponents have amended it. One
amendment declares that when en-
ployers decline to bargain collectively
with employees, strife and unrest de-
velop. This situation, the bill con-
tends, interferes with the free flow of
commerce.
The change, it was said, is an effort
TO convince the courts that Congress
can regulate labor matters under the
Interstate Commerce clause of the
Constitution. Opponents contend the
bill attempts to regulate intra-State
affairs.
Rough Going Ahead.
Though Chairman Connery OF the
House Labor Committee said Presi-
dent Roosevelt approved the bill as
amended. the measure was threatened
with hard shedding. Chairman O'Con-
nor of the House Rules Committee
said that not more than one out oi
