Fredric March told me, when ne
was making Les Miserables," that he
was determined to get out OF long hair

story after this one
There is Warner Baxter. who might
be borrowed. And the dual role Of
Sidney Carton and Charles Darnay
has long been Warner Baxter's dream.
On the stage the part is played by two
men-made up to resemble each other
in minute detail. On the screen it
becomes a one-man job, with slight
variation of voice and personality, and
therefore a very interesting thing to
play.
William Farnum will play Ernest
de Fargo, owner of the wine shop. He
was the most famous Of those who
essayed the role in movies. Henry
Miller once made stage history In
the dramatization of this Dickens
story.
Motion picture producers are assum-
ing control of Broadway productions
more and more. Practically all ma
terial written for the theater Is sub
mitted to cinema producers first.
Their approval heightens the likeli-
hood of q stage presentation of the
material.
Two Broadway productions were put
on by studios this year. Studios are
beginning to see the profitable angle
on this. II the play goes over, the
motion picture producer already owns
it and doesn't have to pay the price
which popularity builds up. If the
play Is failure, the studio may go
on and make picture of it anyway,
but with alterations.
One angle of moving Hollywood to
the East Coast which intrigues pro-
ducers Is the possibility of running q
Broadway stock company with the
stock players they have under yearly
contract. In this way they would make
a profit on the young players not
working in pictures-and also build up
followings for them. With studios
within an hours run Of New York, q
young player could work in his studio
stock company on Broadway and yet
play q minor role in pictures on days
when he had no matinee.
Two Of the famous pals of Holly

Bosworth and Cameo have said long

horse which the actor rode every day
for II years along the Beverly Hills
bride paths, has gone to the last
great grazing fields.
Bosworth bought Cameo when the
horse was a gay young thing OF 3
years. The friendship between the
man and the horse has been an amaz-
ing thing. In the old days Of Holly

It Is both surprising and pleasant
to see how we'll Miss Harlow, William
Powell and Franchot Tone get along
together Three players of widely
varied talents, they take to each other
like ducks do to water. When Miss
Harlow puts in that final tear-jerker
scene, you know, of course, that she
is the star. But when William Powell
Is around. the question is doubtful
and in two or three scenes Tone
makes even the popular Powell-Harlow
duo look a little green.
Since, however. their cinema skill
rests on so many different planes. the
fact that one occasionally outshines
the other is unimportant. What is
important is that they all work ike a
million together and have never been
better. both collectively and individ-
ually.
The producers have seen to it that
the resemblance of the film to an
actual and vivid law case has been
handled with tact. Although there is
no question but that the theme imi-
tates the violent drama in the career
of a well-known Broadway torch
singer. it is never so Objectionable as
to make you think How could they?"
and it is always acted with under
standing and sympathy.
Thus. if Tone appears as a rich
bounder whose weakness for the bottle
has plunged him into an unfortunate
marriage with an actress, he is not so
monstrous as to make you hate him,
and, as matter of fact. he makes an
impossible character as near to being
likeable as any villain has ever been
before on the screen.
His weakness also makes Miss Har-
lows generosity appear all the more

h,mor all the more stimulating. And
eventually, of course. when Tone
can't stand his life with Miss Harlow
any more, he blows out his brains.
leaving the field fairly clear for Powell,
but not so clear as to allow the lady
to make a living for herself In the
only medium which she understands.
Eventually, of course, she triumphs.
And that's when you'll cry.
The film has two or three mod
erately successful musical numbers,
some singing by the star and some
additional good work supplied by May
Robson, Nat Pendleton and Ted Healy.
The whole production has been taste
fully designed and lavishly produced.

WILLIAM POWELL is appearing In

ability is catching up with her dane

life is spent in glass, you will find
him both gay and amusing and more
than capable of handling one of the

solution is not completely satisfying,
you'll get enough laughs and excite

Unnecessary Public Works.

In his address to the Ohio Society for
mer President Herbert Hoover condemned
unnecessary public works" 1t was his
intention, apparently, to stigmatize GER
tain specific projects-construction oper-
atoms of little immediate value to the
people. But he did not cite any illustra-
tive example, and his hearers perhaps
may have wondered where he would draw
the line between good" and bad" under
takings.
Public works, as such, Mr.. Hoover surely
would not condemn simply because they
were public. He may have particular
respect for private enterprise, yet 1t is
unlikely that he would oppose govern
mental management of the postal serv-
ice-"the largest business in the world"
The Panama Canal, he knows, was built
and is maintained and controlled by the
Government, and it would be fair ques-
ton to ask if he would have it otherwise.
His answer, of course, would be: No!
Indeed, Mr.. Hoover's record is full OF
evidence of his belief In national effort.
AS far back as 1912 he argued against
the Imperfect coordination" of industry.
When Secretary of Commerce, he devel-
oped the better homes movement, the
simplified practice movement and SIM
liar campaigns, organized the radio and

The Gas Rate Agreement.

AS a means of arriving at working
basis of agreement between the Public
Utilities Commission of the District and
the gas companies operating in the Cap
ital area, after four years of fruitless
proceedings, the companies proposed in
August that the matter be referred to a
conference. This plan was adopted and
three representatives of the commission,
the peoples counsel, the corporation
counsel and the special assistant corpora
tion counsel for public utilities, were deS-
ignated for that purpose. These three,
meeting with representatives of the gas
companies, have now reached an agree
ment with the latter in respect to capital
structure, rate reduction and terms for
future extensions of capital. They have
reported their findings and recommended
tions to the commission, to which the
companies assent. The commission will
now consider the question, probably
holding public hearing, and will there
after adopt the report of the conference
or reject it. There is sound reason for
hoping that it will be accepted.
This question of gas rates and capital
structure has been pending so long that
a way to settlement is to be welcomed.
If the conference report is not accepted
by the commission litigation is altogether
likely, is, indeed, virtually assured, caus-
ing further prolongation of the ques-
tion, involving expense to both sides and
postponing the day of adjustment for
Evening star., 1935-11-20

the benefit of the gas consumers. NO
more equitable settlement or agreement
could be expected from appeal to the
courts than that which has been reached
by direct and friendly dealings between
the public representatives and the cor
poration executives. "a
This proposed adjustment, unanimous
ly recommended by the conferees for the
Utilities Commission, determines upon
a capital of $21 100000, which is COM
promise between the figures OF the peo-
pies representatives and those Of the
corporations. 1t adopts rate of return
of six and half per cent upon this
base, an immediate annual reduction OF
rates of about $850,000. with a sliding
scale arrangement hereafter which will
be based upon capital, earnings and vol
ume of consumption.
The unanimity of the conferees named
by the Public Utilities Commission in
respect to this agreement may be ac-
cepted as clear evidence that the pro-
posed settlement is equitable to the con-
sumers. There are considerations which
call for an early settlement. Certain
financial obligations of the corporations
have to be met within a year. re-
adjustment of capital structure is there
fore in the immediate prospect. The
final adoption of this conference report
by the Utilities Commission will permit
these transactions to be effected in
season.

The London Conference.

President Roosevelt announces the
personnel of the delegation which will
represent the United States at the Lon
don Naval Conference, opening on De-
cember 6. 1t will consist of Americas
battle-scarred disarmament specialist,
Ambassador at Large Norman H. Davis,
chairman; Admiral William H. STANDBY,
chief of naval operations, and Undersec-
retary of State William Phillips. 1t is
an admirable group and, from both the
naval and the diplomatic standpoints, well
qualified to present and defend this coun-
try's position in the field OF problems to
come under discussion.
Mr.. Roosevelt indicates that the United
States will have no program" at London
except one of consistent opposition to
creation of navies that would cost more
than they cost today. That is another
way of saying that America would like to
perpetuate the status quo, with malnte-
nance of the 5-5-3 ratio as among Great
Britain. ourselves and Japan and the
quantitative strength in various cate
gorieS of ships which it represents. 1t
means that our accepted policy" as the
President described it on Armistice day,
is parity with Britain and a margin OF
forty per cent superiority over the jap
anese Navy. 1t means that America
believes safety for all concerned can be
stabilized on the limitation basis pro-
vded by existing treaties.
The people of the United States might
as we'll prepare themselves to face the
fact that there is no likelihood whatever
of preserving the status quo. World
wide rearmament. rather than reduction
or even limitation, is in definite prospect.
Japan has already abrogated the WASH
ington and London treaties expiring in
1886. She insists ON equality respective
". with the British and American fleets.
Instead of 5-5-3 ratio, Toxic demands
a 5-5-5 ratio. Britain. on her part, is
committed by the recent election victory
OF the Baldwin government on strong
national defense platform to an imme-
diate and extensive expansion OF her
fleet. Germany is about to re-enter the
ranks of firSt-claSS sea powers. France
and Italy have large bodybuilding plans
in view, to meet the widely disturbed con-
ditions into which Europe during the
past year has been plunged.
America cannot hide her head in the
sand" said President Roosevelt at Ar
lington. She must take cognizance Of
what is going on beyond her peace
loving shores in the realm of ornaments.
The measure of our own defense needs,
Mr.. Roosevelt adjures the American
people, is the amount required to protect
us from any possible aggression by others.
With nations on all hands preparing to
strengthen their sea establishments, the
United States is without any alternative
except to match the pace they are bent
upon setting.
The London Conference unfortunately
will hardly do much more than register
the determination of the various naval
powers to keep on building up their
fleets. 1t is not hopeful outlook for
overbTdened taxpayers anywhere. For
America, unquestionably, adequate de-
fense at sea is national life insurance.
However costly, 1t must and will not be
allowed to lapse.
