Legal right of the Board OF

manding that all persons teach
ing Communism be dismissed
from the school system and .criti-
cizing the board for accepting
Corporation Counsel Prettyman's
decision that teachers may ex-
plain Communism.
Speaking in defense of the Deg
man resolution, John A. Con-
noughton, a former judge OF the
probate court of Hutchinson,
Kans., declared a sinister in
fluence is behind the action Of
the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation in circulating the decision
of Mr.. Prettyman on nation
wide scale. Judge Connoughton
said he approved the stand taken
by William Randolph Heart in
his chain of newspapers.
On a final vote, with only six
dissenting, the Degman resolution
was adopted.
William A. Maio was reelected
president. Others elected were

 Hollywood-The high moguls of filmdom are advocating giving Hol- lywood back to the orange growers. And if that happens the name Hol- lywood can take its place along with other names which once meant so much to moviedom-D. w. Griffits, Rudolph Valentino, Nazimova, Theda Bara, Lillian Gish, Pearl White, and William $. Hart. Like theirs, it will become just a vague memory.
 Until few days ago, nobody here attached and real seriousness to the threats made by Joseph M. Schenck and Louis B. Mayer about moving the film industry out of California. Now, however. it ap- pears that these threats are not just idle talk. Definite plans are being made to carry them out.
 And, unless immediate steps are taken by the state (such as killing the proposed state income tax law) to keep the industry here, the California, Here Go" move ment will be under way by the end of this year. { For this statement I have the authority of Louis B. Mayer, pres ident of the Producers Association and production chief of the ,gigan- tic Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studio. Will Keep Stars Out
 "This proposed. income tax law. amounting to one-third of the income tax paid to the fed eral government, will prevent our studios from obtaining big stars, directors, and writer's" Mayer de- clares. "They will not work here and be taxed to death. Natural ly, that will necessitate moving our studios to some other state.
 We aren't mluffing. Since the most expensive part of our equip ment is portable, the entire in- dustry could be moved for $10,- 000,000. Just when that move will be made depends upon the tax program. I hope it is severe enough right away to bring the isue to a head.
 "If we don't move this year, 1t will look as though we are bluffing and the legislature will make 1t tougher on us next year.
 Frankly. think unbearable taxes are bound to come in Cali fornia. We are getting far more than our share of unemployed.

COOPER AND STEIN | IN POLL FEATURE
New Screen Sweethearts Show in Romantic Hit,
 "The Wedding Night"

The new sweethearts of the screen, Gary Bengal Lancer) Cooper and Anna Sten, TO- nance which is laid right in the state of Connecticut is the attrac- tion now current at Polls and which will continue until Tuesday night. The title of the attraction Is "The Wedding Night"
 This new pair of lovers are cast in roles that bring out the best in them and they will add to their hosts of admirers with the per- formancesthey give in this picture.
 Here is the story of a novelist. who is setting fast pace with his wife in New York. Finally they reach the point where the money is gone and they bo back to par ental home. which has been left them in Connecticut, situated right in the heart of the tobacco. fields.
 As soon as their neighbors, Lithuanians, find out that the own CT of the place is at hand. through their daughter, Anna Sten, they make overtures for the purchase of the land, which they intend to give to her asta wedding present,
 When Cooper's wife leaves him as she is unable to stand the life in the country, he meets again and again the "neighbor's child" and a friendship comes up that eventu- ally ripens into love.
 Scenes that are familiar to us all are a part of this picture and of especial interest Is the wedding scenes, the reception, and the cos- tunes of the characters. This is not to be thought of as a costume film. It is truly American and by the way is the first American girl role that Miss Sten has portrayed.
 On. the same program there is that distinguished stage star. James Barton who was the sensa- tio nof "Tobacco Road" the greatest stage play in years. He makes his screen debut in Captain Hurricane" a tale of Cape Cod. Supporting him are such favoritcs as Helen Wesley and Helen Mack.
 The greatest exhibition of fash ions ever shown in town will be at Polls next Thursday and Friday. twice daily at 3-9 D. m., when Howland-Hughes will present their Spring Fashion Revue, with all the newest in fashions, styles. fabrics and "what-nots" and in conjunction with same there will also be a stage band, vaudeville acts and novelties, and 15 beautiful living models.

nearby towns would be virtually ruined. Thousands of small sal aried persons now employed by the film indusary would be thrown out of work. Hundreds of stores, restaurants, and other small enterprises would be forced to close their doors.
 Nearly all small banks would fail. Real estate values would sink to practically nothing.
 Newspapers would drop in cir culation and, with the buying power of the community shot to pieces, would lose vast amount of advertising. Millions of dol lars annually spent by tourists, attracted largely by the movie in- dustry, would go elsewhere.
 The net result would be addi- tional thousands thrown upon the mercy of various relief organiza- tions. necessitating much federal relief and enormous taxes on every bushes sand individual in the state to take care of them.
 Instead of being the Golden State. California would become the "poorhouse" of the nation.
 Despite all this, executives be- lieve the tax yaws will be passed. So they are making preparations to move to New Jersey.

Here's mystery picture that doesn't begin with a murder or follow the usual formula of mys- tery stories!
 When the murder does happen, 1t Is after good portion of the film has been devoted to the ro-3 nance blooming between Dorothy Libaire and David Manners, and general slices of humor sponsored by the inimitable Skeets Gall lagher. The three are featured players in "The Perfect Clue, :" scheduled for showing at the Gar den theater tomrrow.
 This original manner of pre- senting 8 mystery story was born in the brain of Lolita Ann Vest man, author of the screen play, who feels that audiences like a healthy bit of romance, some light comedy and plenty of action with the shudders.
 Miss Westman points to "The Thin Man" as being another ex- ample of the newer technique in plotting the mystery yarn. As in "The Thin Man," murder in "The Perfect Clue" is kept in the back ground with breezy and rapid-fife incident being placed in the fore 1 ground.
 Miss Libaire, David Manners and Skeets Gallagher head an un- usually strong Hollywood cast.

 ORANGE GROWERS MAY GET HOLLYWOOD BACK
Film Capital Threatened with Further Taxes May Move East
 and Leave Southern California Its PreProperous State

They are becoming voters. As a result more laws continually are being passed to create more so- cial service. None of these laws ever is revealed"
 Good for Eastern Execs
 Offhand, you'd think the worlds fourth largest indus- try would have sufficient political influence to defeat any proposed tax laws directed primarily against it, just as it defeated Upton Sin vlair in his gubernatorial race last fall.
 Probably 1t has. But that's where the catch comes. Eastern executives, the. men who really control the industry, have issued orders against putting up any kind of fight. For years these men have wanted the production en of the business where they could keep an eye on it. Now they see a way to force such g move. And they're going to do it Nor will the move be toward Florida. It's a. ten-to-one shot that the future movie capitol will be in New Jersey. That state has offered to build studios for each of the film companies. These studios always would be owned by the state and rented at rea- sonable figure to the various com panies.
 Film officials believe that hav- ing the studios remain state property will be an assurance against overwhelming taxes being passed by the New Jersey legis- lature. Bad for California
 And what will happen to Cali fornia without the movie in- dustry? That is something which so far hasn't received much thought. Until now all the talk has pertained to what the tax law would do to the big, moneyed peo- pie.
 Apparently nobody has yet realized the sweeping effect which exodus of the industry would have on the entire state.
