ABATT0|R BILL
HEARING DUE
ON FRIDAY

A public hearing will be held at
2 p. m. Friday in the Senate Dis
trict Committee room in the
Capitol on the bill proposed to
prohibit industrial interests from
moving into Washington with
plants designed for abattoirs,
slaughter houses, or the manu-
facture Of fireworks, gases, ex-
plosives and kindred products,
The bill also sets up a strict set
OF rules designed to prohibit those
already operating in the District
from continuing unless they prove
their operations do not constitute
. nuisance.
The legislation would directly
affect the rebuilding Of the pro-
posed abattoir near Benning and
is being bitterly fought by the in
terests backing this proposition.
Senator Pat McCarran CD. Ne
Vada, is chairman of the subcom-
nittee which will hold the hear
ingS and he has issued call for
all those interested to appear. He
hopes to settle the matter at this
meeting.
Late yesterday another subcom-
mittee Of the District Committee
held a meeting and reported IA
vorably on naming the drives in
the Mall after Maine, Missouri,
Ohio and Oklahoma. A similar
measure passed the House last
session but did not pass the Sen
ate. In the interim between ses-
sions, the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission named
the drives after Washington JEFF
ferson, Madison and Adams. Con-
gresSional delegations from the
four States stormed the committee
room yesterday and declared they
were incensed over this action and
wanted the States to have recog-
milton.
The bill also will be given con-
sideration by the full committee
within q few days.

answer opportunities knock. She
is working in the picture, ''You
Can't Have Everything" Just a
coincidence, that title. Wherever
her picture appears she will be
readily recognized as the girl
whose plans for playing Lady
Godiva for Daryl F. zanuck pro-
auctions went astray. So she
will be the beneficiary of mega
tive publicity, much better than
no publicity whatsoever.
Producer Zanuck was not the
only Hollywood executive who
looked with envious eyes on the
strip burlesque queens. At least
two other studios have rhythmic
undreSScrs under contract, but
they have been strangely silent
about their plans for. the nude
sirens since the matter became
an issue.
All of which seems a pertinent
time to remind that the stages Of
Washington movie theaterS have
persistenly refused to yield to
the Broadway "take-off" ten
dency. Sally Rand was rendered
to the Earle Theater as an act

the twinkling-toeS and host
of other talented players discoV-
cred by the talent quest.
How a motion picture can in
corporate such a huge number OF
gifted players in less than two
hours of screen entertainment
and still maintain a high story
standard is a logical question.
RKO-Radio recognized this prob
lem by utilizing a story for New
Faces of 1887" which makes a
cohesive whole of each Of many
personalities that appear in the
film. Briefly, the story concerns
a producer of "flop" stage shows
whose efforts to have succession
of failures is motivated by the
fact that he sells IS per cent OF
each theatrical adventure to
several slightly befuddled back
ers. When the production nat
urally fails, the producer seeks a
new green pasture where new
hackers with considerable funds
are waiting to be billed. And the
performance is repeated. ...
They paraded their stars-Mil-
ton Berle, ParkyakarkuS, Harriet
Hilliard and Joe Penner-and the
studio chortled with glee. Here
was something, they agreed.
Then they offered for the stu
dos approval two outstanding
comedians of Berle's radio pro-
gram, Bert Gordon known to air
listeners as 'Mischa the Mad Rus
sian," and Tommy Mack, the
famed Judge Hugo Straight.
This was excellent. Mice work"
commented the Hollywood execu-
tiveS.
Bill Brady, 22-year-old hand
some Washington singer, whom
they discovered in New York, was
another of their presentations.
So good was Brady that he was
awarded the romantic leading role
with Miss Hilliard as his sweet
heart, in "New Faces of 1887"
Brady, who began in a Washing
ton hometown revue, recently won
a Bing Crosby singing contest
and has appeared in featured
singing roles in numerous night
clubs in Manhattan.
Lovely, dark-haired Thelma
Leeds was there, too. The scouts
found her in New York and sent
her pronto to the film capital.

name, Gypsy Rose Lee, will be
from this date dropped entirely"
Thus speaks Daryl F. zanuck,
whose enterprise CD brought the
Ziegfeld Follies strip tease artist
to Hollywood.
It is quite possible that the
furore created in New York when
License Commissioner Paul Moss
summarily revoked the renewal
applications of theaterS exploit
ing nudity, may have had its
reverberationS in Hollywood.
But most of the informed Scribes
of the cinema city feel that Mr..
Joseph Breen, who exercises a
pateFnal supervision over pro-
duction for the Hays office,
dropped more than a suggestion
that the time had not arrived
for the screen to turn Minsky.
From this observation post
the wisdom Of the Hays office in
curbing the desire of some pro-
ducers to go in for an orgy Of
undressing seems sound.
If the 1897 edition Of the
ziegfeld Follies appeared cheap,
and miles removed from the
standards of good taste set up
by the creator Of these elaborate
musicals, it was largely because
what Gypsy Ross Lee contribu'
uted to the frolic was mere eX-
hibitionism. Any attempt to
label this Topographic display
as art is ludicrous.
The dividend of sustained pub
licity by an alert press agent
resulted in this Hollywood offer.
Just as the screen world two
years ago became bit enviouS
of the Sally Rand campaign for
attention as the most undresSed
feature of the Chicago Century
Of Progress.
In Hollywood, and in pictures
with her clothes on, Sally Rand
proved that she had nothing
whatsoever to offer when
stripped of her balloon bubbles.
That should have taught the in
duStry a lesson about trying to
introduce the peep show tech
nique to new audiences.
Louise Hovick, it seems to me,
is lucky in the decision to In
troduce her as a dramatic &C.
treSS. If she has any greater tai
ent than that Of shedding bras

several times and Loew's Cap1-
toll was urged to cash in on her
publicity by contracting for this
headline act.
Despite the booking office pres
sure Sally Rand was never in
vited to appear in Washington.
It was in pursuance Of a policy
to keep stage shows here above
the New York level, and suited
for what the industry knows as
the Family audience" rather
than because of censor vigilance.
The same standards of good
taste have barred many revueS,
fresh from the big night club
floors, but depending too much
upon a free display Of the body
beautiful and soiled humor to
meet Washington requirements.
I feel that the Washington
movie theaters have profited by
these restrictions. Certainly
they have retained the respect
and the confidence Of a consid-
cradle audience who feel that
this type of entertainment
should be confined to other
fields.
