SWING
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

 Swing high, swing fowl On and of the key; zum gum. diddy zurnl Rhythm wild and free. Keep the tempo going Fast as anything, With vocal undulationS And you have the swing. Eyerybodys swinging 1t, Bands loud and creaky; Eyerybodys singing 1t, Voices shrill and squeaky. You get 1t in the morning And very late at night, Even at the luncheon hour The swing comes heavy, then light. Ofice boys are humming it, Typewriters tap the pace; The boss also whistles 1t Tn the animated race. Of swing high, swing low! On and of the key; Zum gum, diddy gum, Rhythm wild and free.

Couldn't Get Food

Under the Pittsman measure, nc arms, ammunition or implements of war may be exported to belligerent nations after a state of war begins to exist.
 In the last war the Germans found their troops being killed by American sheels when, at the same time, they couldn't get American food because of a blockade. Bit terness arising from feeling the United States was not cling neu- tral, helped create the German frame of mind which was a factor in bringing us int othe war.
 Tn case of a civil war, the Presi- dent would be authorized to decide whether the situation was danger ous enough, with regard to our neutrality, to declare munitions embargo.
 No American citizens would be permitted t otravel on the ships of belligerent nations. (Remember the Lusitania?)

Cash and Carry

SeAeSAh sShs~ ~ssAA 7
 The Pittman bill gives the Presi- dent power to list materials, in ad- dition to munitions, which Aneri- can ships would be prohibited from transporting to any belligerent.
 It lays down 8 drastic leash and carry" principle by forbidding ex- port of any materials whatever to belligerents unless all ownership and interest therein has been tram ferred t othe foreign purchaser be- fore material leaves the country.
 Loans and credits to belligerents
 are prohibited.
 American vessels are forbidden to transport any arms or ammuni- ton to belligerents, and the Presi-
 dent is given power to prevent American ports from beoing used
 as supply stations for belligerent
 ships. l
 Arming of American merchant vessels would be prohibited.
 None of this applies to any re- public in this hemisphere engaged III WdA ubdAAoV U AAVAA AA~SAAAASS @~sSAA state.
 Left Up to President
 The somewhat milder McReynolds bill differs in that the leash and carry' princiyle is left as 8 dis cretionary power with the President, instead of being mandatory. It also differs in It's omission of the pro- hibition against arming merchant vessels, in its provision making the ban on American travel by belliger- ent ships discretionary rather than mandatory, and It's inclusion of a ban on solicitation of contributions in this country for belligerent na- tions.
 Neither bill prohibits American ships from carrynig non-embargoed supplies into war zones. Neither provides anything which would pre- cent the building up of a huge war trade with whatever nation con- trolled the seas.

An experiment in defiance of tra-
 ditio1 was attempted by M-G-M in filming of the London stage hit
 Might Must Fall" which comes to
 the Loew Poll theater for the next four days with Robert Montgomery
 and Rosalind Russell in the stellar
 roles.
 A new type of murder story,
 "Night Must Fall,' is unfolded on
 the screen with e technique as dif- ferent from any employed before as was "The Thin Man" unique in its handling.
 A star known for sparkling, forthy
 roles of the most sympathetic sort Montgomery now greets his fans in
 the new picture as one of the most fiendiSh of murderers.
 The adaptation of Emlyn Wil- lian1s,s play, which ran fifty-five
 weeks in London, is said to depart from all the traditional scenario formulas,
 Montgomery's fans will have the surprise of their lives. They will
 meet an entirely new person, a thoroughly false and bad one. Throughout the whole story im- bends the threat of his murderous impulse. And Ro=alind Russell, Wa terbury,s brilliant contribution to Hollywood, has the difficult task of playing a plain girl struggling with her need for love and her loathing of the only man, whom she is convinced is the criminal, to ex-
 cite the emotion in her.
 Developing new treatment of such unusual story material. and for the purpose of reintroducing a star m So completely different Q role from any he has done previously, was Q compelling problem. . Richard Thorpe directed tnis startling picture and John Van Dru- ten, who adapted "Parnell." wrote
 the script. - Besides Montgomery and Miss Russell, the cast includes three members of the original stage troupe, Dame May Whitty, Kathleen Harri- son and Merle Tottenham, and aiso

HOLLYWOOD
By Paul Harrison

Hollywood.-I have heard that Freckles and His Friends are ell route, by trailer and detours, to Hollywood but I hadn't realized un- til lately that their comic contem- porary, Major Amos Hoople, must be here already.
 The Munchausenish Major-if it is he-hadn't announced his pres- ence. But my guess is that he is taking a quiet vacation incognito and, to earn a little money, has enlisted his fecund imagination in the services of the press agents.
 Here, for example, is com munication sent to me under the letterhead of prominent public relations counsel, but originally matched, I'm sure, in the Hoople belfry:
 Bruce Cabot, who spends a great deal of his leisure on the desert near his native home in New Mexico, was especially grate- full to receive pet mongoose frore a friend in Australia. These quitf, even-tempered little crea- lures, noted for their ability to vanquish large and poisonous snakes, is (sic) a boon to Cabot, who has been attacked several timss by reptiles on the desert The actor has titled the pet The Pacifier' and brnigs him along to the studio now"
 Hoople, the old nature-faker neglected to check up on "mon- googe." If he had he probably would have had it sent o Mir Cabot by a fan in India. Also he would have noticed this inforna- ton:
 "On account of it's destructive ness to game and poultry, import tation of this animal into the United States is prohibited by Sections 241 to PA of the Criminal Code. January l, 1910"

 Warren william" says another breathless dispatch, 'has a new invention. It's a motorized dress ing room. He won't allow 1t to be photographed until he has it patented"
 I wouldn't blame him, either even if he had built such con- traption. Powered mobility for 8 dressing room would be an all- time low in utility, and automati- cally would mark MT. William as a Hollywood genius. Diana Gibson" asserts still an- other story, installed electric-eye mechanism on all the doors of her home. She was locked in her bathroom for three hours until repairmen arrived to fix a short circuit"
 You'd think 1t bit odd that Miss Gibson would have an auto- matic opener on a bathroom door ito fly outward at the approach of anybody interrupting a light beam.

 It seems that Comedian Bert Wheeler has in his collection of oddities concertina to which have been grafted a cornet and an incense burner, the primary instrument providing draught for the latter two. Another item is a. cuckoo cloch which by sundry alterations now signals the time in blatant "razz- berry" sounds instead of cuckoos. For "let me use your phone pests, there's false dial which always will connect a wrong number. I'm afraid though, that 1t would multiply instead of re- duce the number of calls.
 Variations on a Theme
 During the past month there has been quite an epidemic of bread-upon- -the-watcrs stories accounts, all remarkably similar, of how various screen stars are confronted by unexpected wealth because they grubstaked pitiable old prospectors.
 Sheila Bromley is one of these;
 the man she backed is supposed
 to have found ore assaying $150 10 the ton.
