 All these latter million and a quarter workers have pledged their war chests and their loyalty to this unprecedented fight to join steel and iron to their industrial union ideal.
 They have handed $500.000 in cash to their C.I.O.--Committee for Industrial Organization---and they stand prepared to put up 10 times that amount If necessary to break down what they like to call "the steel barons."

Communists Seek Advantage

hySSN Ah~
 But 1t is not always as simple as this. Tho leaders of the small but active and highly disciplined Communist Party of America (With Bi ,0O0 front-line members) have de- cided that party members must join with union labor and all lib- eral groups fin n United Front against the possibility of 0 Fascist threat.
 And 1t is evident that secretly they have advised their labor bor- ers-from- within to help form as many of these loose and indepen- dent Farmer-L Labor groups as possi- ble.
 The Communists apparently do not feel that the time is ripe to back q national Farmer-I,abor par ty, but that ns much dIssa tisfac ton as possible should be created for the future.
 But the battle to control this possible future industrial and farm workers party is yet to be fought. If the party is formed, and such men as John l.. Lewis and Sidney Hillmnn, of the United Clothing Workers. and genuine farm leaders go into 1t in the next four years. they will have their own ideas as to who shall head 1t and be It's real masters.
 Certainly they will have no idea of surrendering it to the American Communists They arc willing to join in the United Front. but they propose to control 1t. So 1t sinners down to a question of "Who can use whom"

should be rehearsing our
lines-but then.

Not unlike the amazing "Story

ing place among the cinematic
greats of recent years.
Far more interesting than any
studio movie formula-and Ger
tainly more valuable - white
Anger is much above the usual
yarn rut with its sincerity in re-
Vealing a startling life story-the
story Of Florence Nightingale, the
10th century's angel of mercy,
whose courage and spirit lives
even today as an inspiration to
those brave women devoting their
lives to humanity in the roles of
nurses.
Less than a century ago in
England nursing was a far cry
from the trim, well-educated and
competent women you find today
in hospitals, doctors offices and
homes. It was one woman-Flor.
ence Nightingale-who, sacrificing
her own happiness, went out into
the world, to wars and to cities
and organized women to aid hu-
manity, to lessen the horror of
death and to soothe the ailing and
to properly care for the i'll.
Brilliant is the word to use in
describing the Warner Brothers
production OF this vastly interest
ing and highly entertaining story.
No easy task was this yarn to put
into screen form. The time ele-
ment alone was difficult. But the
job was done smartly, speedily and
thoroughly by Director William
Dieterle.
In her most serious role to date,
Kay Francis does Splendidly.
There is warmth and great feel
ing in her characterization of
Florence Nightingale. It is easily
Kay's finest cinematic contribu-
ton.
The star is aided in excellent
fashion by such players as Ian
Hunter, Donald Woods, Nigel
Bruce, Donald Crisp, Billy Mauch,
Halliwell Hobbs, Ara Gerald, Mon.

many others.

Far too long has Lucien Little
field, one of our finer character
actors, been absent from the
screen. And now, in collabora-
ton with Chandler Sprague, he
has turned his talents to writing.
Clever in two phases of the motion
picture art, I hope producers will
realize that here is q man who
could, if given the chance, write
himself up to stellar roles.
Not unusual is it that the part
portrayed by Charlie Ruggles
would have been grand on the
screen with Author Littlefield
playing it. Charlie did good job
with the role, but often where a
pathetic touch was needed he
switched to his style of Stammer-
ing for laugh.
early To Bed" contains many
formula comedy routines, such as:
Bashful hero refuses to marry
after a 20-year engagement be-
cause of his sleep-walking afflic-

boss, he sets out to capture the
prize order Of the season, thereby
saving the firm; heckled by a
wellmeaning bride, he meets with
success only to have it turned into
failure: gets mixed up in murder
mystery as a leading suspect; final
ly untangles mystery, after many
a funny situation and exciting
chase.
OF course, Mary Boland and
Charlie RuggleS are swell in such
plots. They Scamper about in
their usual style and manage
plenty of laughs, expertly aided
in this instance by huffing-a and
putting George Barber and stormy
Robert McWade.

gambler was figuring percentages
he would give the average stand-in
about as much chance of becom'
ing a star as the average citizen

ALI this is on the basis Of past
performances for few Of the pres
ent well-known actors or actresses

Ann Dvorak once stood-in for
Joan Crawford, but only for q few
days. She was Joan's protege
but generally worked as a dane
ing girl in musical films.
Adalyn Doyle, former stand-in
for Katharine Hepburn, has since
broken away from this job and
has played several small roles
since then.
This is the complete score and
the record holds very little hope
for the stand-ins of the present
who aspire to bigger and better
things.
However, when the situation is
reversed, there are many stand
ms who once were actors. Among

Charlie Ruggles is a great be-

extent of catching cold, as re-
vealed when he appeared on the
Early to Bed" location with a
pair of rubber "shoes" that so
exactly resemble bare feet that
they capt be detected a few feet
away.
The script calls for the Para
mount comic to play the role Of q
sleepwalker and gambol about on
q damp lawn in his bare feet. A
propertyman showed Ruggles how
to keep his feet dry.
Making casts of Ruggles' feet in
plaster, the prop man then coated
them with liquid rubber. When
the rubber had dried, it was peeled
off, painted up realistically and
