III AN I an hIIlcI lCdl1 1IlOtAO1A PAS-
mn ture-goer has recently seen
IVY the latest issue of the March
of Time featuring the timely
League Of Nations episode, which has
oeen partially censored in England and
about which a controversy over the
question of censorship is now raging.
Audiences here have wondered how the
producers contrived to release an up
to-the- minute account Of the Leagues
predicament within week following
the fall of Adds Ababa.
OF particular interest to the cine
maddicts has been the part showing
England's ties to the League and the
great peace vote taken a year ago
under the auspices of the League of
Nations Union. The results of this
vote largely determined Britain'S pol
icy in the whole Italian Ethiopian
controversy.
The League episode, as it appeared
on the screen, took little more than
six minutes. Yet in that short period
it traced much of the Leagues trouble
some history and into its preparation
went work on the part Of the produc-
ers which had extended over months.
How did you get this material on
such short notice?" WAS the entire
episode prepared during the three or
four days before release Of the sub
ject?"
These and similar questions pop up
regularly in March of Times morning
mail.
And the answer to them is, to some
degree, the explanation Of March of
Times technique, the exposition of its
plan of production.
THE Ethiopian War actually started
in September, 1885. For months
before that time the world knew that
it was inevitable. And the world also
saw in it a test of the League of Ma
tions' policy Of sanctions against an
aggressor nation.
AS the war progressed and the in
effectualneSs Of sanctions became more
and more obvious, March of Times
editors felt sure that England's peace
vote, which changed the course of
British foreign policy and sent the
British government into action against
Mussolini through the League, would
at some time again play an important
part in the conflict.
The peace ballot was the greatest
unofficial popular vote ever under
taken in any country. Before hostili-
ties had actually commenced in Ethio-
pia, 1l,600,000 English citizens had
voted for England to uphold the
League, $500 900 had favored military
sanctions. And on the strength of
that vote, England's entire policy
toward Italy was formed. It was this
public desire that forced Foreign Min
lister Hoares resignation and placed
Capt. Anthony Eden, vice president Of
the League Of Nations Union, in his
steps.
More than q year ago March of
Times editors decided that they would
at some time do a film based on the
League Of Nations. Later they decided
that the English vote should be filmed
for future use. Camera crews were
assigned to take re-enactment of the
meeting of the League of Nations
Union at which England's grand old
man of peace" Lord Cecil, proposed
the vote, and Lloyd Georges daugh-
ter Meighan seconded it; the actual
solicitation; of farmers and workers
writing their answers; of the returns
coming in and Of the final totals. All
of this took time-weeks. Each scene
was re-enacted, carefully, accurately.

SNAKE-MURDER
QUIZ SPREADS

LOS ANGELES, May 8 Q.N.SO.
Two vicious rattlesn a kes-
''Lethal" and 'Lightning"-a nest
full Of deadly black widow spiders.
and charred bits Of q brides
nightgown were the principal ex-
hibits today with which the State
will seek to send two men to the
gallows for the "rattlesnake-fish-
pond" torture murder in a hon
eymoon cottage.
The two men - Robert s.
James, the Don Juan Of the bar
Der shops, and his "hypnotized
henchman," Charles Hope, an ex-
sailor-are under indictment for
the Staying of Mary Busch
James, the BARRIERS fifth wife.
Meanwhile, as sensational new
developments appeared in rapid
succession here, investigation OF
James activities spread to two
other parts Of the country, and In
dications of new plots were studied
by officers.
Colorado officials informed the
district attorneys office here al
legged mysterious circumstances
surrounding the death Of the bar
ber's third wife. Winona Walker
James, were under investigation
there.
At the same time officials Of
northern California were seeking
an automobile in which Cornelius
Wright, James nephew, met his
death a year ago.
Testimony regarding the other
asserted death plots came from
Hope, who told officers calmly and
in detail the pretty bride here had
been drowned in bath tub and
her nude body flung into the shall
low fish pond after her bare leg
had been forced into a box Of
angry rattleSnakeS.
Psychologists who eXhumed the
body found swollen laceratlon
on the girls foot which, they said,
came from poisonous reptile bite.
Snakes Identified
Showmen yesterday identified
the two snakes and told officers
they had sold them to Hope Just
before the girls body was found.
In a garage officers found q
nestful Of poisonous black widow
spiders. Hope had told them ne
bought these insects with the
rattlerS.
Hope also told officers:
''YOu fellows better look at
the steering knuckles Of that car
Neil Wright was driving when he
was killed near Santa Rosa"
At the same time officials here
were told by Colorado authorities
the third Mrs. James was injured
in an auto crash just before her
body was found dead from drown
ing in q bathtub in an auto camp
in Manitou, Colo, october IA, 1882.

Ignace Jan Paderewskl Will
make some more last" appear
ances not as a pianist, but as a
movie star. He has signed a con-
tract to appear in q leading role
in a talkie to be filmed in Lon
don.
Paderewski's leonine head OF
flowing gray hair and the i'm
perial hirSute facial adornment
will make as striking a movie
figure as has been seen since
Irwin Cobb started to raise a
bushy eyebrow for the screen.
AS PaderewSki has consistently
refused to play for any radio
broadcast, it is doubtful whether
he will play the piano for any Of
the screen sequences. His career
as a worlds foremost pianist and
composer together with the inter-
lude in 1917 when he served as
the first premier of his native
country Poland, would give enough
material for several good see
narioS,
From the standpoint of musical
history it would be q pity If he
should refuse to have his playing
duly recorded so that future gen.
erations might see and hear the
performance Of one whose name
may otherwise soon become q
mere legend.
A festival of church choirs
was given as a part of the Music
Week observance last night at
the Mt. Vernon Place M. E.
Church. While the concert was
not as spectacular as that Of
last year when a number of
choirS were massed at Central
High School under the direction
of DR.. John Finley Williamson,
the presentation gave q fair
cross section Of the music regu.
larry heard in Washington
churches.
The general impression Of all
the ensembles heard, save the
Eighth Street Temple Quartet,
was that there seem to be all
too few bass singers in Wash
ington. So deficient was this
particular section that a person
sitting behind us persisted in
hummtng bass as if to aid the
several choirS.

NEW YORK, Oct. % U.N.S0.
In Washington, D. c., there stands
today the statue of the late Gov
ernor Charles B. Aycock of North
Carolina. For his achievements in
establishing public schools for the
colored youth of his State he has
been chosen to represent North
Carolina in the Congressional hall

The debt of colored folk to Gov,
ernor Aycock in good part was
paid. For, thanks to Harry Earl,
Frank Aycock, son the late Gov
ernor, is alive today.
Aycock was helping weld an iron
beam across a greasing pit on the
morning of August 20 last. Sud
denly, the acetylene torch's blaze
ignited a drum of alcohol nearby
and the greaSing pit burst into
flame.
Aycock, in the pit, was trapped,
his clothing ablaze. Forty yards
away Harry Earl heard the explo-
sion and saw the blaze.
Earl dashed to the pit. Holding
a canvas cover before his face, he
reached down and pulled Aycock
out of the pit. Earl blanketed the
Governors son in the seat cover
and stamped out blaze in his
