Educational Leaders

Miss Dorothy McBee of this city at
tended a conference of the county super
intendents of education held in Jackson
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.
This meeting was called by State Super
intendent of Education J. S. Vandiver.
The most important matter discussed
during this meeting was the financial
situation in the various counties of the
state. Superintendent Vandiver urged
the Importance of business policies in
the administration of all the schools in
the state, and instructed the county
superntendents not to create deficit.
According to data supplied by great
majority of the county superintendent,
a large number of the schools will be
forced to close within the next week or
ten days, unless an emergency appro-
priation is made by the legislature now
in session sufficient to maintain them
for the normal period of eight months.
The superintendent voted unanim ously
to close the schools when the money
gave out. thereby avoiding the creation
OF a deficit.
Superintendents Vandiver, DR.. H. NJ
Ivy, Chairman of the NJ +. A. Legis-
lative Committee and committe from
the County superintendent Associa-
tion had conferences with the Appro-
priation Committee, the Ways and
Means Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives and Governor Hugh l.
White and discussed with them the nee
essity of an emergency appropriation
sufficient to continue the schools fol
the remainder of this term. This would
require approximately $780, 100000
which would make about the same
amount received from the state and fed
eral government during the last school
session.

'Riffraff" Stars
Harlow and Tracy

Jean Harlow has never displayed her
versatility as an actress to better ad-
vantage than in "Riffraff," which opens
Monday at the Star Theatre.
She follows her smashing hit in
"China Seas" with another sparkling
role, again against the background Of
the sea, but in a vital, romantic story,
which gives her the finest opportunity
Of her career.
Teamed with her for the first time is
one of Hollywood's finest actors, Spen-
Ger Tracy, and the two miss no opening
to get the most out Of the powerful
and sweeping story, which mixes the
most hilarious comedy with the most
touching pathos.
Convinced that the trend of public
preference is for redblooded story with
virile power and sweep, Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer has scored in starring its two
strongest personalities.
The story of "Riffraff" invades a
brand new locale, the commercial fish
ing fleet that plies the waters of the
Pacific off Southern California. Much
of the story takes place in the fishing
village adjacent to the great California
metropolis community affiliated with
the city, yet entirely separated as though
in different world. There the fisher
men and their families live their lives
and work out their destinies without
contact with outside influences.
"Riffraff" tells of the love of Miss
Harlow and Tracy, love that trans
cends man-made laws, yet is masked
with veil of rough badinage that can
not entirely conceal its depth and sim
cerity. 1t presents Miss Harlow in one
of her most unusual roles, an angel OF
the waterfront who marries a braggar'
and bully and spends the rest of hel
life trying to reform him.
Tracy is shown as staggering skip
per of tuna clipper, two-fisted strong
man who rules the fleet with an iror
hand. Into the story are woven econo
mic problems as vital as tomorrow, ant
thrills such as the screen has seldom
seen.
The characters, as only Frances Mar
ion can create them, are powerful, Un;
Merkel, whose forte is considered tt
be comedy, is amazing as Lii, jean
sister, down-trodden wife with tw,
children, overburdened by lifes prob
Inns. Joseph Calleia, who gave sucl
promise in Public Hero" again come
through with a brilliant portrayal a
Nick Lewis, wealthy, vicious canner.
owner.
Miss Merkel and Calleia head a stroni
supporting cast, which Includes Victo
Kilan, Mickey Rooney, J. Farrell Mac
Donald, Roger Imhoff, Juanita Quigley
Paul Hurst, Vince Barnett. Dorothy Ap
pleby and Judith Wood.
Unusual praise is due Director J
Walter Ruben for his brilliant hand
ling of the theme.
"Riffraff" cannot be rated too highly
Romantic. dramatic and thrilling, it EN-
bodies the qualities that make the mo
ton picture a premiere medium of en-
tertainment. You are sure to enjoy i
from opening scene to fadeout.
