"LlBELED LADY" BACK

WITH . couple of comedies which
w promise to be among the more
pleasant of the season on the down.
town screens. the Loew people have
wisely decided to enroll the Columbia
in the laugh parade, bringing back the
gay M-G-M farce, "Libeled Lady," for
. third week on the main stem.
"Libeled Lady" is light-hearted af-
fair which makes very little sense as it
tells its story Of an heiress who sues q
newspaper for libel, asking the small
sum of $4,000, 900, and Of the various
complications which follow, including
matrimony and trout fishing. The
trout fishing complications are the
best, with William Powell having much
fun as he falls on his face in cool wa
ters and madly chases the greatest
fish of the season down the stream.
It's q slightly snseless and slight
ly mad yarn, but, being so, it has
the good grace to take itself not at all
seriously and thus becomes q cinema
farce guaranteed to please all the film
fans who yearn for that brand Of
laughter which places a strain on the
vest buttons. The dialogue is in the
proper mood and the treatment by Di-
rector Jack Conway is in the exact
spirit of good fun, which the story
needs to make it topping entertain
ment.
The cast also Is In the necessary
good humor which "Libeled Lady's"
story calls for. particularly Mr.. Powell,
Myrna 10y play-acts in her most be-
coming manner, Spencer Tracy is tops
and Jean Harlow Is in her toughest
and at the same time gayest mood.
Walter Connolly also Is one hand to
perform as you expect him to, which
Is Just about perfectly. H. M.

NEW YORK, April ,2.-To "win-
terset," Maxwell Anderson's poetic
drama about Manhattan slum dwell
lers, went the New York Drama
Critics award for being "the best
play of the 1856 season."
Broadway looked forward to the
verdict, for this is the first time in
Rialto history that professional re-
viewers have issued their own prize
That honorarium heretofore has
been in the hands of the Pulitzer
Prize Committee which still func-
lions annually, but not to every
body's taste. Which is why the
critics organized I'd choose one of
their own.
But there was dissension that
night the critics met at the Algon-
quin, and "Winterset" was selected
by vote of IA to 3. The trio in
the minority held out for Robert
E. Sherwood's Idiots Delight" and
the fiery repercussions of that meet
ing are now being re-echoed in the
dramatic columns.
But, despite a lack of unanimity
among the theater's experts, Broad
way seems inclined to favor their
decision over the Pulitzer Prize
which can not be given to Cd a
playwright who has won it before,
(2) a dramatization of novel
("The Old Maid" was an exception
or CD plays with distasteful sub
jects.
The only condition the Critics
Circle demands is that play should
be the work of an American play
wright.
"WinterSet" was not counted
among Broadway's smash hits, but
merely as moderate success. Re-
lating dramatic story of gangsters,
hoodlums and East Side Migrants
in lofty language and blank verse,
it was greeted the next morning
with such contrasting statements
as "It is the best play written by an
American" "It is prettily preten-
tious." Audiences were equally di-
vided in it's favor and disfavor, but
"Winterset" ran on; was comfort
ably set for the winter, then moved
to other cities for a tour across the
country.

Under the act Of Congress ex-

police, has not as yet made an eSti-
mate Of his needs.
Police and firemen are exempted
from the sick leave provisions of

F|LIBUSTER DUE
TO KILL RED
RIDER BILL
Rent Measure Will Be
4 Pushed for Action
On April l3

Leaders of the House bloc
which used filibuster tactics yes
terday to prevent a vote on the
District rent bill virtually tolled
the death knell for the "red
rider" repeal bill.
Following adjournment Of the
House yesterday Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New Jer-
sey, chairman Of the House Dis
trict Committee, announced her
intention of pressing for a vote on
the rent measure next District
day, April Is, adding that the
red rider repeal bill would have
to put off until the following
District day two weeks later.
Fist Fight Averted
It was pointed out by obServ-
ers that the fight against passage
of the communist measure will
be even more dogged than the
battle which has ragged over the
rent proposal, and that it would
take at least two. and probably
three, District days to reach a
vote on the red bill. This will
put off action until late in May
and it is expected that Congress
will end it's present session about
that time. The red bill has not
been before the Senate as yet.
Yesterdays session proved one
of the most heated the House has
seen this year, with obStructionist
opponents of the rent proposal en-
gaging in nearly every parliamen-
tary trick, and a fight between
two House members on the floor
barely averted.
Principals in the near fight
we're Representatives, William
Schultz CD of Indiana, mem
ber of the District Committee and
an ardent supporter of the rent
bill, and Tom Blanton CD of
Texas, leader of the obstructioniSt
opponents Of the measure.
BlantOn, Schultz Clash
It was suggested in some
quarters today that Blanton, stall
wart opponent of red rider repeal,
may have sought to hold up a vote
on the rent bill with a view to
prolonging the date for considera-
tion of the red rider repeal bill.
He and Schultz are also at odds
over this measure.
Schultz berated the Texan and
others yesterday during debate on
the rent bill for rising filihuster-
ig tactics. He declared:
81 wonder if the sinister influ-
enceS are working for the best
of these gentleman"
The Texas member demanded
that Schulte's words be taken
down and the Speaker rule
whether or not they should be
permitted to go into the Record.
Schultz continued to talk and
Blanton yelled:
"In put you down If you don't
sit down."
