MUM
ON LEWIS, STRIKES
He Refuses Any Comment
on Reported Break With
clio. Leader.

Reports that President Roosevelt
has broken of relations with John L.
Lewis do not need comment, In the
opinion of the President.
This was made known at a press
conference yesterday afternoon, when
the President declined to be drawn
into a discussion of the steel strike
commander-in -in-chief or sit-down
strikes.
Asked If he Endorsed the recent
statement of Secretary Perkins that
sit-down strikes are unsuited to
America, the President declared he
had not read her views
He also said he had not heard OF a
report that Senator had presented
to the White House a suggestion for
bringing together the Committee for
Industrial Organization, headed by
Lewis, and the American Federation
of Labor The c. I. O., which seeks
to organize all the workers in each
industry into one big union. is under
suspension from the federation, whose
leaders favor unionization by crafts.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not commented
publicly regarding the steel strike
since he criticized extremists on
both sides with this quotation from
Shakespeare: "A plague upon both
your houses"
Meanwhile Labor Department sta
tistics disclosed yesterday the number
Of strikes beginning in April was about
Is per cent lower than in March, when
there were the most strikes of any
month in 20 years.

is the economic Justification Of taxing
land. 1t helps to keep people from

But buildings are on an entirely

In effect, you say to the builder: "You

We tax you for it. We wish to dis

Absurd as this is, it is Commissioner

two lots of equal value, side by side.

Movies Playing Today
STATE

The most startling human drama the screen has ever offered comes today for a four day engagement to Warner Brothers State theater, when You Live Only Once" with Sylvia Sidney and Henry Fonda, the screen sweethearts of The Trail of the. Lonesome Pine, reunited in the starring roles.
 Dynamic conflict, thrilling action and soaring romance are combined in this story of a woman who risked her very life to fight by the side of the man she loved when the whole world condemned him and hunted him like an animal in every corner of the earth.
 Fritz Lang Directs
 Fritz Lang, who handled the megaphone on Fury" "M," Me tropolis" and other unforgettable films, directed You Only Live Once" from an original story by Gene Towne and Graham Baker.
 A great supporting cast, headed by Barton MacLane, who incident ally has his first sympathetic role; Jean Dixon, William Gargan and ths late Charles "Chic" Sale, and including Warren Hymer, Margaret Hamilton, Quinn Williams, Jerome Cowan, John Wray and others, is seen fin this spellbinding story of human emotions in the raw.
 The magnificent photographic ef- fects were achieved by Leon Sham roy. Alexander Toluboff is respons- ible for the impressive sets.
 The companion feature is "Wo- men of Glamour" written by Lynn Starling and Mary c. Mccall, Jr, with Virginia Bruce and Melvyn Douglas in the leading roles. Sup porting the stars is large cast including Reginald Denny, Leona Maricle, Thurston Hall, Pert Kelton and Miki Morita.
 Virginia Bruce has her greatest dramatic opportunity to date in the role of the lady of the evening, and to her credit, the character remains as one of the most poignant in screen annals. Leona Maricle is seen as Douglas socially prominent fiancee and displays an ability that should carry her long way in Hollywood. Reginald Denny, as the imbibing Fritz, playboy friend of Douglas, comes through with his usual splen- did performance. portrayals of the lesser roles add immeasurably to the films strong appeal.

Hollywood you were naovle actor, what do you suppose would be the most difficult part of your job? Heavy dramatic scenes?- tricky dialog?
 Not if you were like most. Holly wood players, who are made most nervous by such ordinary actions as getting into an overcoat, eating a sandwich, or just walking across a room.
 The subject came up when Bar bara Stanwyck, working in "In- ternes Can't Take Money" confess sed that she dreads scenes in which she has to pour tea. .,.,.. -..-.-
 In this instance, it's something of a hangover from her earliest days of acting, for one of the first things she had to do was play hos- tess in front of the camera, and she was something less than poised and graceful.
 "But all of US dread routine things like that" she said. They are the real test of finished ac- tor. We're less self-conscious in emotional scenes because we can work ourselves into the pitch of them. And besides, we aren't sup posed to look at ease and natural while playing dramatic sequences Claudette Colbert was on the set visiting. Did Miss Colbert have a pet phobia? Yes. She dreaded to light a cigaret. That, too, was one of the first things she had to do as an actress.

Wrong Approach

Wrong Approach
 They're telling about an execu- tive who was bawling out his of- flee force. ''Why is it that I never find any of you at work when I come in?" he asked.
 "It's on account of the rubber heels you wear," piped a stenog- rapher. ?
 Director Ross Lederma1 likes to recall the days when Mack Sen- nett wore rubber heels, too. His writers were qlartered on the third floor of a big house he had rented. and several times daily Sennett would creep up the dark stairs and bounce in to catch them loafing.
 Lederman solved that. He had step built, a separate, portable step that was just the size of those on the stairs. Then he'd place 1t at the top of a landing, or in the middle of flight-always in dif- ferent place.
 The writers would loaf until they heard a heavy thud on the stairs and the voice of the big boss raised in profane imprecations. Then they'd leap to the typewriters and begin beating out scenarios.

 The skipper was determined to uphold all the fine old maritime traditions. This was his shipwreck and evacuation of the vessel was going to be orderly. He went around cautioning the extras that there was to be no hysteria, and no fight ing for places, in the nfeboats: and that everyone must remain calm.
 The extras must have been great ly puzzled because they were re- ceiving just the opposite instruc- tions from the assistant directors. They were inclined to obey the technical director though, because he had the air of man who has been obeyed all his life.
 Finally 1t was discovered what was happening, and the instruc- tions were made perfectly clear. The passengers were to scream and fight and do everything in their power to create bedlam, horror, and confu- sion. The scenes went off fine after that, but the sea captain was dis gusted.
