HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 13.-Clau-
dette Colbert's recent accident has
turned out to be far more serious
than the average person has been
able to gather through casual
scanning of the newspaper reports.
The last two weeks of her picture,
Maid Of Salem" she was under
the constant attendance Of a
physician, who administered her
sedatives to keep her going, and
at the moment she is so completely
incapacitated she will be unable
to think of going back to work
before January.
We also find Grace Moore on the
sick list with flu, temporarily out
of her Columbia picture, Inter
lude."
One little thing about "Gone
With the Wind" The moment
Margaret Mitchell's book was on
the market and an overnight
sensation, another woman sent on
a tome to the same publishers,
claiming it a story on the same
subject in the same period, only
better, so she said, which she had
titled, "Gone With the Tide" AS it
is needless to say, it was promptly
rejected.
The maritime strike now cur
rent seems to be inconven1enclng
nearly everybody, but has a num-
ber of funny features to it. Town
send Netcher, the Chicago mer-
chant tycoon and husband OF
Constance Talmadge, is champing
at the bit, marooned in Honolulu.
BY the same token, Gail Patrick,
whose vacation with the Tikaraj
and Tikarani of Indore was about
to be cut short by a recall from
Paramount for picture, can now
stay and enjoy the month origi-
nally intended, and possibly even
more, because she is another who
can't for the life of her manage
to squeeze onto the China Clipper,
the only available transportation.
On the other finger, Constance
Wood, an Australian stage and
screen star, merely stopping off
for a day or two in Hollywood en-
route home from London, with no
thought of a movie career, was
about to embark for home at her
fathers demand, when along
came the strike, she could do
nothing but wait, and during that

'five-year contract. So here she
will remain.
Margo, under her real name OF
Maria Marguerite Guadalupe Bo
lando Castillo, has just signed her
new five-year contract at R-K-O
which stars her for six months out
Of the year in Hollywood, with six
months on the New York stage
Not bad for a 19-year-old gal; but
then, at is, she was a sensation as
a dancer at Aqua Caliente, in
Mexico, and at 16 the rage of the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York with
the orchestra Of her uncle, Xavier
Cugat.
Paramount seems to have put
their finger in with a bang, as
far as the Chinese government is
concerned. Since they refused to
destroy Mae VESTS "Klondike
Annie" or Gary Cooper's "The
General Died at Dawn" no more
pictures from Paramount will be
allowed to be shown there.

SOME OPINIONS
The New York critics appear to
operate upon the theory that II
YOU invite comparisons you must
be prepared to take it. Thus John
Mason Brown, of the New York
Post. in words Of icy type, says:
"Tt is not that Mr. Howard un-
derstates the part. 1t Is merely
that he does not state it at all.
He never reaches for its mean
ings, is never troubled by its
dilemmas, is never aware Of its
possibilities. His Hamlet Is
empty; hopeIessly empty. His
thoughts do not find expression
in his face, his body or his voice.
He speaks clearly but what he
speaks are words, words, words"
Neither does Richard Watts, jr..
Of the New York Tribune, pull his
punches. Says he:
"a comparison with the rival
Gielgud characterization is in
evitable, and I might as well go
to it at once. 1t is my impress
sion that Mr.. Gielgud's portrayal
IN far more distinguished and
moving, but his production is not
as striking and handsome as
that which Mr.. Howard has de-
ViSed."
Douglas Gilbert, Of the World
Telegram, observes:
"Thus he makes Of the role q
series Of recitations, as some
petulant sch0Olmaster, irked by
awkward pupils, takes the plat"

'Torzon' Bows At the Capitol

Tarzan, that amazing character
of the fiction of Edgar Rice Bur
roughs, comes once again to the
screen as Johnny Weismuller and
Maureen O'Sullivan are reunited
in "Tarzan Escapes" opening TO-
day at L1oew's Capitol.
The present story marks the
closest approach Tarzan has had
to civilization. He is captured by q
The Washington times., 1936-11-13

form and bids them heed his
preachmentS."
Well, that gives you a general
idea. 1t always struck me as one
of the new season follies that
two first flight actors should
cross swords and present stimuli
taneously in Few York productions
of Hamlet. One was bound to fail,
or at least suffer, when the hard
boiled appraisers Of the contem-
porary drama got around to max
ing comparisons.
COMING TO NATIONAL
When the smoke clears, it may
hasten the return of Leslie Howard
to the screen. He has been a bit
SNUG and patronizing in his ref
erences to the Hollywood art,
which gave him a fortune and
many fine notices until his recent
Romeo.
The Theater Guild is hoping
that he may star in one of their
future productions but Leslie How
ard. heavily interested in an Eng
lish motion picture company, will
probably elect to return to Eng
land after his Hamlet has had its
say.
The Gielgud production of Ham
let was prepared to move out Of
New York on December II. Now
the plans have been changed.
First stop on the road for the tour
ing show will be the National
Theater, Washington, thence to
Chicago.

is RUDOLF DIESEL ALIVE?

Now that the Diesel engine bids fair
to revolutionize power generation, it is
worth calling to your attention that the
inventor, DR.. Rudolf Diesel disappeared
late in 1913 while on steamer, going
from Germany to England to attend a
meeting with British directors.
He was seen on board, dining and
studying brief case of papers but when
the vessel locked he was not seen to leave
the boat. Several days later a body,
found in Holland, was generally taken for
that of the inventor but no positive identi-
fication was made.
In 1898 his proposal to utilize di-
rectly the energy created by the COM
bustion of fuel created sensation and led
to the development of his engine. The in
ternal combustion engine, familiar to all
who drive automobiles, eliminates boiler.
pipes, fire and outside pressure and the
loss of power that attends indirect use of
the energy created by the fuel used.

ABOUT OBSCENE LITERATURE

1t is interesting to report that the
editors of several obscene magazines have
been sentenced to serve three months in

Parents of young people in Key West
who are greatly concerned with the type
of moving pictures that are exhibited,
seldom bother to investigate the form OF
literature that is being pandered to the
community through the sale of various
magazines, etc. 1t would be an eye-open-
er for some of our women to take an after
noon off and read some of the rot that is
being sold under the guise of romance.

A few of the outstanding facts of
our industrial life will reveal the abb
surdity of the movement
In 1929 we had 100000 factories of
all types in operation. There were
8.822, 900 wage earners, and 1854. 900
salaried workers employed in these
factories. The wage earners received
an annual average wage Of S1,316.00.
and the salaried workers s2.645.00.
For the seven years period 1928
1929 the total income of all the indus
tries was distributed as follows:
Employees
wages and salaries $4,000. 000.0 900
Stockholders

Surplus 5.145.O0O.OO

1t is bitter and humiliating confess
sion to make-that we have in Key West
certain persons of such low and cowardly
mentality that they can wilfully destroy
young shade trees and up-root valuable
shrubbery.
There is but one way that we can re-
deem our city from the reproach of har-
boring such vermin; and that is by MAX
ing it absolutely clear to them, and to the
outside world, that they will be sought
out and given ample opportunity to realize
that there is no place for vandals i'm a
civilized community.
If they were merely destroying that
priceless thing we call beauty, there
might be those among us, not sharing our
estimate of the worth of beautiful things;
who could feel that defacing a work of
art was no great matter; that the only
things that count are the things that can
be measured in dollars and cents.
But even by the standard of values
that can be ascertained at public auctions,
this crime of destroying trees planted
along the streets of the city, may be as
costly to a people as the crime of arson,
and should be as sternly repressed
Here in Key West we have caught
the vision of city of streets EMPOWERED
in trees, of long, shaded avenues in which
may be found that luxury of shade and
breeze that can be found nowhere else in
the United States and which will add
hundred-fold to the summertime charm of
living on this favored island. This ideal
is being realized as systematic planting
is being done on a scale never before at
tempted and which, in this climate, will
within the space of few years show re-
suits that elsewhere could not be attained
within generation.
We call upon the city authorities to
guard the interests entrusted to them, tc
exercise whatever may be required of
special vigilance to put definite stop to
the reprehensible vandalism which is de-
stroying the property of the common
wealth and depreciating the value of
those individually owned properties To-
Gated where their contemplate work is
carried on.
Too much is at stake to permit of
our remaining inert and supine while an
element worthless and vicious, sets at
naught this phase of the regeneration of
Key West and an important item i'm its
claim upon the regard of the American
public as the country's most lovely place
of abode, summer as we'll as winter

If hours of work had been reduced
to 80 a week. and production had been
held to the same point by adding
additional workers. the employees
would have received SIS, .682. 600.
But the total income would have been
only S19.227. 900 900. This means that
capital would not have received any,
thing and not a penny would have
gone to surplus. The employees would
have gotten every penny that was
made. and left business at the end Of
the year $3.916.682.o00 in the hole.
Demagogues and shallow brain re-
formers have led the ignorant to be-
lieve that there is huge fund hid
den away by capitalists that may be
and should be drawn upon by labor
through reducing hours and increas-
ing wages. OF course there is no sort
of foundation in fact for this theory.
But the demagogue doesn't consider
facts.
If the purpose Of this movement is
to undermine. embarrass and destroy
the foundation of the American sys-
tenn of industry and thus prepare the
way for a communistic state. the
movement is logical Otherwise il is
a moronic attempt to make mad
dream walk and talk and function in
the field of industry.
