Embargo On Ford Cars


 Richmond, Calf, May 29.-(UP). An embargo was applied to Ford motor cars due to be shipped abroad today when maritime unions threw their support to strikers from the Ford assembly plant here.
 Forty newly assembled Fords were branded "hot cargo" and left be- hind when the freighter s. s. West Cape of the Mccormick line sailed for Seattle.
 The presence of 1900 army trucks, due for shipment to Japan and con- sidered war material" raised a more serious aspect. International Longshoremen's association workers said they, too, were "hot cargo" The Ford company faced a penalty in price if the trucks were not deliver ed, on time.
 The Ford plant strikers demand recognition of the United Automo- bile Workers of America, an affiliate of the committee for industrial or ganization. They have tied up the plant where 1,5o0 men worked.

Sonia Henie lost her father in July
And Mrs. Eddie Mannix, wife of the
M.-G.-M. executive, was killed in a
Palm Springs car accident month
ago.
The population Of FINLAND was in
creased by a few-but distinguished
1887 arrivals-the Gary Coopers'
daughter. Maria Veronica, born Sep

Youngs' September daughter, Barbara.
There was wholesale talk OF adop-
tion this past year-from Mary Pick

and many others. But only two stars
came through Young and
Irene Dunne-both Of whom adopted
girl babies.
7 AwsU1Ts occupied an important
part on the 1887 Hollywood
calendar The longest and most ex-
pensive was supplied by little Freddie
Bartholomew, who fearlessly fought
every one within sight-including
M.-G.-M. (for an increase in pay, first
demand S3.000-thankfu acceptance
at $4,000; his agents. who say Freddie
owes $39.600 in commissions: his
lawyer. who accepted $17,50O of the
$4,000 he claimed; and, of course,
the annual fight with his parents to
establish adoption by Aunt Millicent.
Bette Davis lawsuit against her
Warner bosses (for increased pay
was probably the shortest Hollywood
fracas in history. That Davis gal is
sensible, and when she found herself
getting the worst Of it in the courts,
apologized and went back to work
with extra pay.
Jean Arthur has done her share
to make 1887 lawsuit-conscious. She
tried to break her contract with
Columbia-lost the suit, went-and is
still-on strike, thereby killing the
golden. goose Of picture, stage and
radio appearances.
Frank Capra sued his Columbia
bosses for $loo.oo0-but kissed and
made up out Of court =. The Marx
brothers were not as lucky with the
suit brought against them for
plagiarism, and are currently ap.
pealing against the unfavorable de-
cision.
Nineteen thirty seven will be
thought Of rather sadly by Joan Craw-
ford. Marion Davies, Gertrude Michael
and Jimmy Cagney as the year in
which their front-rank popularity took
a severe dip.
The picture public will remember
1887 as the gone with the windbag"
year-when so much publicity over
the probable players for Rhett Butler
and Scarlet O'Hara was forced into
print that, finally, 10 and behold-no

to develop into directors theaters,
wherein dramas are presented, not be-
cause of their merits. but because

that, with all their virtues, they are
no substitutes for dramatic writing In
the theater. There are people who are
in such violent agreement with me
on this point that they 60 50 far a.
to say that the Mercury Theater, be-
cause it does not supply us with the
works of new playwrights. is q menace
to the stage. 1t is the theory Of these
people that the Theater Guild, even
when it produces ineffective new
plays, is superior through that very
fact to the Mercury Theater, even
when it is offering Julius Caesar It
is my belief that any such contention
is absurd. If there are no good plays
about, it is better for the theater
and everything else concerned that
old plays should be produced rather
than that any concessions in dramatic
standards should be made. If the old
plays happen to be as imaginatively
and creatively produced as the Mer-
curry Theater seems able to arrange
them, It Is 50 much better for the
stage.
At THE same time, the traducers
= Of the Mercury Theater are
clunsily attempting to make very
sound point. Instinctively they realize
that there Is something very radi-
cally wrong with the drama when it
cannot supply us with q succession
of sound new works. Their mistake
