 Why Strike Was Called
 The strike was called after the paper discharged Frank Lynch, photographer, and Phillip Arm- strong, dramatic critic. Guild mem- bers charged they were fired be- cause of their guild activity and more than a score walked out. Picket lines were formed and meme bers of other unions aided in pick eting.

I use sarcasm; if a little joke is

CECIL DE MILE MOST MAGNED MAN IN HOLLYW
Roscoe Korns Has Always Made
His Living As An Actor

Roscoe Karns has never earned
a penny from anything but act
ing.
He doesn't even recall that he
ever performed any of the menial
tasks such as lawn cutting, wood
carrying or delivering packages
for the corner druggist by which
the average youngster occasion
ally enlarges the childhood ex-
chequer.
Karns, who is now playing an
important supporting role in the
warner Brothers-Cosmopolitan
musical-comedy "Cain and Ma
BEL" coStarring Marion Davies
and Clark Gable, has spent nearly
a score and a half years in
dramatics although he is still
comparatively young man. 1t
will play a return engagement at
the Metropolitan Theater begin
ming Wednesday.
He began his theatrical career
while he was still a student at
Harvard Military academy in Los
Angeles. While he was still
child his parents moved to San
Diego. There Karns met and
talked to William Collier, sr., who
was playing leading roles in stock.
Incidentally, Collier also has a
featured part in Cain and Ma
bel" That meeting, however, was
the spark that definitely launched
Karns on a dramatic career.
"I remember it as well as if it
had happened yesterday instead
of nearly 80 years ago." Karns re-
called. II had gone to the thea
ter every time the company
changed shows and finally I
screwed up my courage suf-
ficiently to ask the manager Of
the house if I could meet Collier.
"He had seen me many times
in the house and I suppose he
guessed what an ardent fan of
Golfers I had become. He took
me backstage after a Saturday
matinee and introduced me to Col
lier.
'"That grand old trouper-he
was a young man himself in those
days-talked to me for nearly an
hour. He told me all about the
theater, its advantages, its hard
ships, its joys and sorrows. But
all I heard was the bright side"
Karns went back to school, but
his heart was elsewhere. One day

Up Jean Muir Through Being Rebel

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. GNSO.
No matter how small the part,
Jean Muir never will rebel again.
She rebelled last year when she
was given a small part in "Oil
for the Lamps of China" But
though she raised the roof, she
had to play it.
80 1 walked through it," she
said today. II thought I was too
good an actress for that part.
Now I know better"
In those days, Miss Muir was
a rebel. She fought movie studio
executives at the least provoca-
ton. When there was no provoca-
ton, she made one. She told dl-
rectorS how to direct and players
how to act. If the part didn't
meet her approval, she howled
and then sulked through it.
Now, no matter what the role,
Miss Muir gives it everything she
has. She listens to directors.
She watches other playerS-not
critically but with an eye toward
their good points. She is out to
become the best actress in Holly
wood.
A year ago she was sure she
was the best. Then I found out
I wasn't" she said. II found out
that I had a good deal to learn. "

operate.
But she has learned to hold her
tongue when it should be held.
She has learned that directors,
for instance, usually know what
they are talking about. She has
learned that an actress can't al
ways get great parts-that some
times she must play small ones.
And because she is no longer
a rebel, Miss Muir is much hap
pier. Of her latest role she said:

ALWAYS ENCOURAGING
Some time before that I had
watched him direct some scenes
of a picture. He was sharp and
cauStic in his orders. He didn't
treat his actors as people but mere
ly as players who we're there to
do his bidding. I like a strong
hand at the helm. I like a direc-
tor who knows what he wants and
gets it out of you in every scene,
a director you can lean on. But I
wasn't sure that I was going to
be able to submit to the DeMille
technique, after what I had seen
and what had been told me.
Well, you should hear me hold
forth now, to the people who drop
in at my house down at Malibu.
I think Mr.. DeMille is charming.
I love the role of Calamity Jane,
and thoroughly enjoy doing the
