Dear Sirs:

is all too true, Cohen made the mo-
ton to strike the enacting clause
and was supported by Chatham. In
spite of the pressure by the Miners
Union and the Silver Bow Trades
Council, none of the six made a
move to reconsider the measure. AT
the conclusion of the afternoon SEES
sion, when all hope for the revival
of the bill had gone, l had the ex-
IRENE pleasure of speaking out OF
order and off the journal and giving
the exact status of the six, as mea-

In reply Cohen stated that he re-
fused to be dictated to by any bunch.
II was quite a sight to see them
squirm all day long from the heat
which had been applied.
I have made arrangements with
some of the Labor boys to write up
the most important things which
transpire and then we book it over

Speaking of war and Fascism, the
Perth Amboy, N. j., board of educa-
ton refused an auditorium for Gen.
Smedley D. Buffers talk on War is
a Racket.

wealth can pay. But, alasl too late
these people have learned that they
have the major tax load to carry
and daily they rudge about their
business loaded down with "chink
money" to pay their sales taxes.
Here they might try a new method
to slip it over on us. They might
single out some few articles or in
s%titutions, as cigarettes, silk hose,
cosmetics or yer organized mass
distributing agencies. After that
they feel that the slipping over
process should slip along smoothly.
THE HOLIDAY ASSOCIATION,
labor unions and the farmers union
have gone on record against a sales
tax. At almost every Legislative SEES
sion a cigarette or tobacco tax has
been voted down by the conscien-
tious and honest members. Now is
the time for all organizations and
individuals to protest against this
method of extortion. Many have
been fooled into thinking kindly of
the sales tax, because they associated
it with the idea of relief for the old
people. However, we must not lose
sight of the fact that the only pos
sible justification for a tax like the
sales tax is the granting of pensions
to the aged None should lose sight
of the fact triat a sales tax is in fact
a tax OF poverty and not on prop
erty.-Producers News.
A bill which would have allowed
miners to count time consumed in
entering and leaving mine tunnels
and shafts as part of the eight-hour
day was unfavorably reported by the
House committee of the whole Tues
day afternoon after a lengthy debate.
In committee the vote was 40 to AZ
against the measure, and later on
roll call the previous action was sus-
tanned by a vote of So to As.
Although proponents of the mea-
sure said it had the approval of the
Butte Miners Union, two members
of the Silver Bow delegation, Chat
ham and Cohen, spoke against it and
on the roll call six of the 10 men,
bers from Silver Bow County voted
against the measure. Cohen moved
that the ~enacting clause be stricken,
claiming that Butte is the principal
industrial center in the state and
that enactment of the bill would in
crease labor costs in mines and put
the city at a disadvantage in compe-
tition with copper mined elsewhere.
Chatham said that many miners are
on relief and that the bill would put
more of them on the relief rolls.
Speigel, Mcleod, Burns, Mulhol-
land, Anderson of Silver Bow and
others spoke for the bill. They said
that at present miners finish their
shifts in the workings a half hour
before the cages start operating to
remove them from the mines and
that some catch cold while at the
waiting stations.

War Pictures
At rons-Lux

Timely news reels and some
varied short subjects make up
a thoroughly entertaining pro
gram at the TranS-Lux this
week.
Actual scenes of the Japanese
capture of TientSin, in the In.
vaslon Of China, probably take
top place in the news sequences.
There are shots of the President
1ashing back at his critics in
his North Carolina address.
Of particular interest, also,
are the pictures Of the Nays
new giant bomber, the landing
of 1900 Spanish children in Rus
STA, KanSanS conquering the
dust bowl with irrigation from
artesian wells and a Negro
baptism ceremony.
The short subjects comprise
a new addition of Stranger

enjoyable feature.

Mutiny Story
AtCoIumbiu

'Slave Ship" a stirring saga
of the sea concerning the last
days of the blackbirders, is back
on F. Street, showing at Loew's
Columbia. It is great film, COM
bining as it does a tender love
story with thrilling adventure
of the sea.
Starring in this picture are
Warner Baxter, wallace Berry
and Elizabeth Allan.
Baxter plays the part Of the
skipper of slave ship, engaged
in the practice of running his
human cargo from Africa into
the American coast. Wallace
Berry is the first mate of the
hard bitten and laWless crew.
Elizabeth Allan is the girl with
whom the skipper falls in love
and resolves, in consequence, to
give up the slave trade. But in
this he reckoned without his
men.
Embarking on his ship for a
honeymoon at sea, the skipper
and his bride find themselves the
prisoners of a mutinous crew.
The adventures of the trip and
the final untangling of a very
knotted skein at the hands Of
the law furnish the markings of
strongly dramatic and stirring
story.
Some Of the scenes in the
blackbirding ship are strong
fare, but it's that kind of story.
1t is pertly directed and the
cast gives a performance worthy
OF itself, which is saying much,
for they don't come any better
than Baxter or Berry.
An array of short subjects
completes a great program.

horse, sold to raise funds, it is
perhaps not too incredible when
she shows up in stable car only
to find Buddy Ebsen and George
Murphy. Three such superb
dancers just naturally set mat
tiers in motion. Taylor, in the
role of Steve Raleigh, oppor-
timely shows up too, and the
stage is all set.
Taylor is just as handsome as
ever and quite likely will be the
whole show for many a school
girl, but he really doesn't have
quite as much of a part as we
might wish.
Since this is a revue and
many players must be intro
duced by one method and an.
other, the mode of so doing is
hilarious, even though on sew
eral occasions, just a bit far
fetched.
DANCERS ALL
When George Murphy, Miss
Powell'S very talented dance
partner, and the striking-looking
Eleanor, dance their way into a
nice deep mud puddle in Gen.
trail Park, it is lots of fun, but
not necessarily the usual rou-
tine.
Buddy Ebsen, that eccentric
dancer who has so easily eStab-
liShed himself by his own brand
of hoofing, lends humor to any
number of situations. Raymond
Walburn, as Herman Whipple,
who was to back the show. adds
much of the sparkle and laugh

"GOING NATIVE" AT CAPITOL
Weird Story
Of Murder
At Met

In The Great Gambini," cur.
rent murder mystery at the
Metropolitan, the producers
throw in everything but a ham
sandwich to befuddle the poor
would-be mystery-solvers. At
one point in the picture they go
into a sort of strange interlude
for one minute-Sixty seconds,
no more, no leSS-during which
time you are supposed to pick
out the villain.
1t isn't sufficient time be-
cause there isn't one legitimate
clue to be found. The redeem
ing portions of the show are two
good performances and a laugh
or two here and there.
MIND READING
The plot concerns the I'M
canny mind-reading faculties of
the Great Gambini, who tells
Ann Randolph and her fiance,
Steve Dandy, who have gone
night-clubbing the night before
their wedding, that the cere-
mony will never take place.
His predictions turn out to
be true, for the next day Mr..
Dandy is found dead. A fate,
says the comic detective, even
worse than marriage. The
Great Gambini then turns up in
the role of a Super-sleuth and
keeps the representative Of the
law and his Stooge in a great
other.
1t drags on unfortunately until
the finger of suspicion is
pointed, eventually, at Gam
bini, who very considerably
breaks down and confeSses all,
and everything winds up in the
spirit of the whole picture when
Gambini tricks the officers into
handwriting one another and he
leads them off to headquarters.
TAMAROFF GOOD
Akin Tamaroff, as Gambini,
was smooth in his role, and
Genevieve Tobin out-Brady's
Alice in a very amusing style.
Others of the cast include Ma.
rian Marsh, Reginald Denny and
John Trent.

Since the first Broadway
Melody made its bow some years
back, new edition has emerged
each round of the calender.
Rating with the best song and
dance productions the cinema
has unreeled, this current
version stands well at the top.
So chock full of entertain
ment, it is almost impossible to
single out the players, so best
just to take them as they come
to mind. Since the dance
predominates in this revue, the
charming Miss Eleanor Powell is
really the main interest not
even excepting Mr.. Taylor.

testy, hard old colonel who had
grown dry and old in military
service.
The little girl endears herself
to the regiment, to rebel chief
tain of the hills and finally to
her own grandfather. Her
particular pal, however, is a dour
old Scotch sergeant, played by
Victor McLaglen.
A GREAT CLIMAX
The movement toward the eli
max of this thrilling and excit-
ing yarn is magnificent. The
child is a prisoner of the hill
tribes. Her grandfather ven
lures alone into the rebel strong

Mr.. Benny is not left to carry
the burden alone. Backing up
the funny radio star are such
film luminaries as Gail Patrick,
Martha Raye, Ida Lupino. Rich
ard Arlen, Ben Blue, the Yacht
Club Boys and Judy Canova.
WHAT TO EXPECT
To mention this cast gives you
a slight idea of what to expect.
To go into details of what they
do, individually and collectively,
is frankly a piece of description
beyond my ability. The humor
in the thing runs all the way
from the mild to the wildly hys-
terical.
Aside from the gags, with
which the film is literally sprin-
killed., there is a cracking good
story on which all this novel
tomfoolery is strung together. In
the story the versatile Mr.. Benny
gets himself engaged to two girls
accidentally, so to speak.
BENNY'S OWN
Despite the talent with which
the cast is adorned, however, the
picture is peculiarly Mr.. Benny'S
own. There are various reasons
for this, one of them being, no
doubt, that Mr.. Benny is good.
But for that matter, so are the
others. Mr.. Benny has an ex-
cellent personality, but ditto. It
may be that our friends of the
radio is given a little more to
do and he undoubtedly has ex-
cellent lines.
AS for the gags-well they're
funny and more to the point,
they're brand new. They would
bear the telling, but why spoil
your fun?
At any rate I find myself
heartily in favor of this film, as
a whole and in detail, from start
to finish.
LIE ROY ON STAGE
On the stage that nimble-
footed exponent of the tap, Hal
lie Roy, is the stellar attraction.
Mr.. LIE Roy, who cracks a few
jokes between dance routines,
presents variety range of the
tap dancing art. Some of the
steps, which are his own crea-
tions, are as pleasing as they are
complicated.

routine is also offered by the
