This topic had not been in
cluded in the original program Of
discussion, which was limited to
fixing a national industrial policy
in the lines of wages, hours, child
labor, fair trade practices, anti
trust laws, and financial aid to
small enterprises.
The meeting was attended by 80
industrial representatives and 80
labor heads. The former elected
as their head John G. Paine, New

labor group chose William l..

Despite the fact numerous lead

Captain Blood
Returning

The Movie Boner Club" has
been foiled again, this time by
members Of the cast Of Captain
Blood" who spent hours during
the pictures production at Three
Arch Bay, near Laguna, CAL, coax
ing a flock of Seagulls into the
range of the cameras.
AS Enrol Flynn, who plays the
leading role in the Cosmopolitan
Production based on the romantic
novel by Rafael Sabatini, and
Basil Rathbone cast as q rival
pirate, were being filmed during
q duelling scene, a flock Of sea-
gulls rested on the surface Of the
water in the background. Their
presence added a natural touch
to the scene.
But when the cameras were
moved for a closeup Of the COM
batants the gulls became fright
ened and departed. For the next
three hours the entire company
tossed bread crustS, orange peels,
apple cores and other remnants
from lunch boxes into the bay and
finally enticed another flock to
alight.
. If Seagulls had been present in
the long shot of the fight scene
and absent in the closeup the
Movie Boner Club" would have
spotted the mistake and another
avalanch of "boner letters" would
have landed in the studio.
Others in the cast of the pic
ture, which will be released by
Warner Bros. this month, include
Olivia de Havilland, Ross Alexan-
der, Lionel Atwill, Guy Kibbee,
Robert Barrat, Henry Stephenson,

liner, in reality named from two
presidents as Lincoln, Theodore
Perry, played Alexandria 20 years
ago with the Rabbit Foot" Min

that time for a sight seeing tour
Of the Capitol. Not until 1928,
when Fox films made Salute"

he make his second visit.
In 1927, while dancing in a
Fancon and Marco unit on the
Coast he was asst for the role
Of High Pocket" in M. G. MS

rected by John Stahl. This proves
to be the same story for which
Fox Twentieth Century bought
the rights to make the Will Rog-
ers' vehicle. Strangely, it was not
only Will Rogers last film, but
one of the few films featuring
the Claremore philosopher that
Fetchit did not work in. A

Just one hour before Alice
arrived in New York from her en-

she received a wire on the train
informing her that Thelma Leeds
had cancelled her booking at the
