BALTIMORE, April ~ U.N.S9.
The Townsend old-age pension
movement plans to back u third
party in an ambitious attempt to
crush both the Democratic and Re
publican national machines and
set up rule by a single unified
party.
This was the declaration today
Of DR.. Francis E. Townsend, origi-
nator Of the plan to pay 5000
monthly pensions to the nations
old folks, in an exclusive inter
view with International News Serv-
ice, the first since Congress
launched an investigation into old
age pension schemes.
Third Party Sure Bet
DR.. Townsend said:
"There will be . third party
movement, and you can bet your
life we will back it. / hope to
see party-ism killed. The Demo
cratic and Republican parties
ave Outlived their usefulness.
We can never get anywhere so
long as either are in power"
DR.. Townsend said the pension
movement which claims 5000, 1000
adherentS,. is going cunning for
Congressman not supporting the
Townsend plan in the forthcom-
ing national election.
Win in Next Congress
Confident his pension plan will
be enacted by the next Congress,
he said:
"We're not going to vote for
anyone not for the plan. In .
majority of congressional dis
tricts we expect to elect Town
send candidates and also q good
Sprinkling Of Senator's"
DR.. Townsend said the pension
advocates have declared war on
"jackleg politicians holding Of
fice," adding:
"The Townsend people are
going to see to it that there are
no more third raterS in Con
greSS. From now on they've
got to be men and women Of
ability"
He was vague about whether
the proposed Towsend third party
would enter the political arena
this fall or in 1910, but said q
national convention Of Townsend
clubs will be held in July follow.
ing the Republican and Demo
cratic national conventions.
New Control Planned
Dr.. Townsend announced Q plan
to turn the pension organization.
which he controls, over to q ma
t1onal foundation Of Super
citizens" elected by Townsend
clubs.
The clubs will elect "the most
outstanding and worthy person
in the movement from each State,
he said, and they will serve as an
advisory guiding force for Con-
greSS."
But before he turns control Of
the movement over to his super
citizens" DR.. Townsend said the
old-age pension legislation must
be enacted by Congress.
He laughed at reports that the
congressional investigation had
hurt the pension movement.
Clubs Forming Fast
The stream of nickels and
dimes that the old folks have
poured into the movement to the
tune Of 100000 in the past two
years has leSsened some, he said,
because Of the uncertainty of
things" but the movement is
going ahead. He declared:
Everything has been settled
amicably, and we are now form
ing new clubs at the rate of $50
. week. We have $500 clubs
now and expect to have 10000
by the July convention"

Arthur Levy, Hollywood stylist.
If an actress appears in q screen
role as a destitute person, she must
look appealing as well as poor" he
said.
Properly designed clothing gives

For a picture now in production
$35, 900 has been set to costume the
four stars-Janet Gaynor, Constance
Bennett. Loretta Young and Simone
Simon.
Speaking Of clothes, and of Miss
Gaynor, Levy said:
"She almost always has played roles
requiring very simple dresses. The
greatest cost on her wardrobe hasn't
been the material, but the money spent
on designing so her gowns would best
reflect her personality"

yesterday has received a considerable
razzing in various quarters. People
have complained that Miss Davis is
not given a big, fat, juicy role as in
"Of Human Bondage" and Danger

"GAY DIVORCEE" GIVES
COLOR TO THE LITTLE
Brig ht Song-and-Dance Film
Shows Astaire and Rogers
in Their Best Mood.

IF THE Little Theater had no pur-
pose in life other than the revival
of those sprightly song and dance
cinemas made by Fred Astaire and
Ginger Rogers, that would be reason
enough for its existence. The current
piece on display at the Little is "The
Gay Divorcee." bright bit of fluff,
which was generally approved as one
of the best musicals of 1884, and was
the second film made by this team
that recently rose to the high pinnacle
of box-office leadership.
Adapted from the stage success,
1.-THE Gay Divorce" is an effervescent
blend of hit tunes, gay dances and
hilarious light comedy. The good hu-
NOR and knack of handling witty
repartee, of which Fred and Ginger
were allowed to show only a suspicion
in Flying Down to Rio," is given full
play in "Divorcee." In fact, the Sc
Quence where Ginger mistakes Fred,
who has been chasing all over Eng
land to try to get to know her, for the
hired correspondent for her divorce
proceedings, Is close to the best these
two people have done in the light
comedy line.
The best of the dances is the Con-
tinental," performed in a sprightly
fashion by the two stars, and present.
ing some elegant patterns in black
and white by the dancing ensembles.
Edward Everett Horton even dances in
"The Gay Divorcee," playing Lets
Knock Knees" with a salubrious
blond laSSie.
Besides dancing, Mr.. Horton, of
course, contributes much to the hilar-
ity of the piece, a task in which he is
aided by such able and subtle screen
clowns as Eric Blore, Alice Brady and
Erik Rhodes.
Song hits poured into your radio by
"Divorcee" were Might and Day" and

Is truly gay entertainment.-H. M.
