luck with the "sneak" preview Of
Modern Times Thinking to outwit
the half-dozen trade papers camping
on his trail, Charlie took his opus
to San Francisco. A Hollywood film
critic, who was on vacation in San
Francisco, decided to take busmans
holiday and visit movie theater the
same evening. The result was a nice
little scoop for the paper of the critic
in question and bad headache for
Mr. Chaplin.
CECIL B. DE MILE took no
chances with the sneak" pre-
view Of The Crusades" He packed
the film with him on yachting
cruise and after floating around for
two or three days decided the time
was propitious for action. He steamed
into Avalon Catalina Island and had
his first preview in the village theater.
Very often theater at which there
is going to be sneak" advertises a
preview without naming the film. This
happened in the case of Rose of the
Rancho" starring Gladys Swarthout
and John Boles. News of the title,
however, leaked out just before it was
due on the screen So, at the last
minute, the studio sent the theater
another picture that had been pre-
viewed elsewhere and dashed with the
Rose" to another movie house.

good or bad tidings, series of sneak
previeWs is sprung on unsuspecting
cinema audiences. The final shaping
of the film depends on their reaction.
How to put ''sneaks" across, without
the inclusion of the here, there, and
everywhere shoppers, is one of the big
gest headaches of the film industry.
kidnapping baby surrounded by Fed
eral agents is easier.
Each studio has its own method
not always fbol-proof. Warner Broth
ers follow this procedure: The asso-
ciate producer calls the owner of a
theater in some distant town. The
name of the picture is not disclosed;
he simply arranges to have a preview
of Warner Brothers picture After
a thorough look around, the producer,
associate producer and film editor
| (cutter) never the stars or the writer
| -secrete the film IN car and drive
| speedily to the spot selected. Just in
time for the showing of the picture.
Then begins the next chapter of the
evenings agony-listening for laughs
that don't come; sensing the general
tension of the audience during the
| screening; straining to hear comments
| as the audience files out of the theater:
deciding whether to scrap the whole
production, partially remaKc it, or let
it stand as is, for the all-important
| trade preview.
IN THE case of The Petrifed For
est" with Leslie Howard and Bette
DAVIS the studio made two endings-
one, the sad finale of the original
play; the other, happy fade-out in
which Mr.. Howard did not die. The
reaction of the chosen few to the sad
ending was so satisfactory that the
other was discarded without a show
ing
A similar tWo-Way ending was
adopted for the sneak" of The We'd
ding Night" Gary Cooper and Anna
Stem by the Goldwyn studio. A vote
was taken on cards to decide which
ending to use and, although the re-
suit was contrary to Mr.. Goldwyns
own choice. he abided by the decision
When Mr.. Goldwyn has a sneak"
preview to put across not even the
office Of his studio is notified Only
one man is assigned to the job. He
calls the manager Of the theater and
arranges to show the picture. The
locale is usually San Bernardino,
Santa Barbara or San Diego
The head of the story department
and the film editor meet at Mr.. Gold
wyn's house, search the bushes in the

Under the same logic by which he
was accused of communism Dubinsky
said, Herbert Hoover could be ac-
cused similarly for relief work in
Russia in 1919-20.
In charging him with communistic
tendencies, Dubinsky said, Hamilton
showed his complete sympathy for
the fascist rebels making war on the
Spanish Republic.
Hamilton's charges were further
criticized in a telegram to Dubinsky
sent from Cleveland by Sir Walter
M. Citrine, head of the British Trade
union movement and president of the
International Federation o t Trade
Unions. He is also president of the
world wide Labor's Red Cross.

agreed to send the strikers back to
work Immediately pending the out
come of a conference between line

if the line would agree that any wage
increase subsequently granted would
be retroactive and that strikebreakers

LIFE in The
SOVIET UNION
BY A. f. of L. News Service.


Charles P. Nutter, a member of the
Associated Press Foreign Staff, is in
vestigating the living conditions of the
average citizen of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republic.
According to a story written by
Mr.. Nutter from Moscow this average
societ citizen docs what he is told
without any questions asked, reads
what the state thinks he should, and
lives where he is told, stays close to
home and minds his own business"
Due to a shortage of housing 'he
and his family live, eat and sleep in
one roonl"
Under the system Of miltarism "he
joins the army at 10 if he is phys
cally fit, and serves two years COM
pulsory training, whereafter he is
placed on the reserve list, subject to
call"
"He can't take fier in real estate
or the stock market, for no land is
for sale and there is no stock mar
ket."
"He has freedom Of thought as long
as it is what he is supposed to think
If he wants to denounce Leon Trotzky
he'll get an audience, but if he re-
verses that order he'll get in trouble. =
In order that a check-up may be
kept of his whereabouts, he always
carries his passport, without which
he cannot go anywhere, He needs it
ito register at hotel, enter a public
building or buy a railroad ticket.
He rests every sixth day instead
of seventh, observing thus a six-day
week Sunday as a day of rest has
been abolished"
The ability of the average soviet
citizen to possess things, according to
Mr.. Nutter, is extremely limited He
owns little or no property, although
today he can buy small house in
certain areas, togther with enough
land to raise his own vegetables. He
can't become an employer, however
and aspire to live from the sweat Of
others. He pays little or no taxes
the state takes care of his insurance
doctor, hospital and undertaking
bills"
Surrounded by all these and many
other rules, Mr.. Nutter concludes that
from capitalistic standards" the So
Wet citizen leads a pretty dull life
but he does remarkably little crouch
ing about it."
