 HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 29.-Be- side Cahuenga Boulevard, over which many film stars of today drive from Hollywood to work in the studios of Burbank and Uni versal City, stands a large, ramb- ling, yellow-and- frame house.
 The tall, lean, gray haired man who lives there can look from his breakfast room windows upon the passing show and hear the roar of constant traffic. But if occas- sionally he sees an old crony of his movie days speed by to work, he suffers no nostalgia pains
 For J. Warren Kerrigan, the Clark Gable of his day, the silent screens famed Jack O Hearts, ,' is comfortably retired-comfortably and he hopes, permanently
 No" he will tell you with beam- ing good humor, T got pictures out of my system when was working in them, and I have no desire to go back. Oh, yes, I've had offers from both stage and screen, but I'm en- toying life too much as it is" He was born George Warren Ker- rigan in Louisville, Kentucky. When he was 13 years old he started to work on the railroad. used to work from six to six. The long hours then were responsible largely, he says, for his decision to retire from active work while he was still young enough to enjoy sleeping late and being completely his own master. He retired finally, in 1924, having finished his last picture Captain Blood" Once before he had retired, but returned in 1922 to make his greatest success, The Covered Wa gon''
 T was never a great spender,' he says, "and I was able to make some wonderful investments. Some of them, of course, turned out badly but I still have enough to get by"
 Most of his time now Kerrigan spends in his mountain lodge, Rock haven, up in Santa Anita Canyon near Mount Wilson, where he fish es. hunts, reads and hikes.
 When he butt his house on Cah- uenga Boulevard it was an isolated estate. But Hollywood has grown greatly since 1917, and he is think ing of selnng now.
 Life in retirement he finds re- markedly peaceful in contrast to old studio days. For him the celebrated lure of the greasepaint" is dead
 Until the last two or three years, he says, there were still a few people on the streets who would recognize me. But now I can walk along Hollywood Boulevard and scarcely be recognized at all.

No, time never hangs heavy on my hands-on the con- trary, it seems to go very fast. I suppose it's because I'm happy.
 Kerrigan lived with his mother until her death l2 years ago. Dur ing her lifetime he devoted all his attention to her, and he never has married. ~
 He is one of the real veterans of the films, having entered them from the stage in 1910. Among his hits were Samson and Delilah.' "The Adventures of Jacques" and the Torrance ORourke' series.

TIME OUT

But it will take Myrna approxi- mately one hour to get through that door and emerge on the other side. Let's follow the proceedings.
 First of all, we're wrong. Myrna won't get through that door until maybe day after tomorrow, because Van Dyke signals move over to Stage 24. Myrna, in travelling out fit, vanishes toward her dressing room for a change of costume. Bill, in one business suit, has to change to another.
 In five minutes, over on Stage "A, Van Dyke arrives to find that his set is being utilized for some tests for "Parnell," the Joan Crawford Clark Gable historical romance = in fact, to find that his set isn't there yet. Hey, Rose" he yells, where's my set?"
 Coming up," responds Arthur Rose, production manager And overalled. shirt sleeved carpenters and electricians pop seemingly from the walls to start hammering.
 Through the great stage door a truck backs in, bearing equipment. An open section of a sleeping car drawing room, on portable plat form, is wheeled in; eight men strain to pull the camera up an in cline to position; property men dash in with Powell and Loy luggage, and in half an hour there it is: Tn terior of train drawing room"
 By this time, who should return but Myrna, in smart tailored neg ligee, and Bill. coatless, tie-less. col larless-to act as if they're about to pull into San Francisco and must get dressed in a hurry
 And here they are, doing the scene, no time lost. But that tele- phone call for Myrna back on Stage 12? Let's hope the caller is pa- tient. Myrna won't be answering it today, because that's how nov ies are made.

UNION FLAYS
TRANSFERS AS
SUBTERFUGE
Company Saving Face
On Promise Not to
Fire, Say Car Men

RELOCATION of regular run street
car conductors and operators to
the extra lists today was branded
by the car mems union as an at
tempt of the Capital Transit Com.
pany Ito save it's face" on its
promise to the Public Utilities
Commission that a change to one
man cars would not result in the
discharge of employees.
simultaneously, it was learned,
an employment upheaval Of much
greater proportion is contemplated
by the Capital Transit Company
for mid-November when the gen.
eral rerouting authorized by the
Public Utilities Commission be-
comes effective.
Questioned on the November
changes, E. D. Merrill, vice presi-
dent and general manager Of the
company stated:
"The rerOuting at that time
will result in the transfer of
many more men from the regu-
lar to the extra lists. The exact
number has not been deter
mined yet. Whether it will be
twice as many or 100 can not
say"
43 FACE JOB LOSS
The union blast was prompted
by the assertion of Mr.. Merrill
that, although 43 less men will
be required with the schedule
changes effective Sunday on the
RoSslyn and Florida Avenue
lines, none of them will be laid
off either temporarily or perma-
nently." According to Mr.. Mer-
rill, Is men at the Georgetown
barn and 18 at the Navy barn
are affected and many of them"
will be transferred to other car
barns, where the number of extra
men has been below normal"
OF the 43 men in question, Mr..
Merrill declared, IS are from the
regular runs.
John H. Goodman, spokesman
for the street car mems union,
stated that there are about 500
extra men already available, an
ample" number to take care of
vacancies and absences of the
1900 regulars and to fill other
extra requirements of the system.
Cites Promise"
He added:
when the transit company
asked for the extension of the
One-man cars, it promised the
Public Utilities Commission that
no men would be discharged.
BY the transfer to the already
OvercrOwded extra lists, IS men
have lost their jObs-their regu-
lar jobs, and more will lose
theirs. When there isn't enough
extra work to give a man q
living, he must get some other
occupation. The man may be
forced to resign but the Capt.
tai Transit Company can say it
hasn't fired him."
