Glass VIII Begin
Ne,v' Senate Tern,
Day After He's 79
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Carter Glass, rejecting yes
terday that he will start new six
year term on Tuesday. the day after
his 10th birthday anniversary, mod
estly expressed hope that he might
live to see 80.
Reluctant to discuss his birthday or
himself, the veteran Virginian, now
the oldest member Of the Senate,
finally confessed that "All things con-
sidered, would like to live to my next
successive birthday that I may be-
come the oldest of the Glass tribe"
He explained that one of his older
brothers had died just a few months
before he would have been 80, after
living longer than any other in the
Glass family.
Except for that slight wish, the
virginian. whom President Roosevelt
likes to call the unreconstructed
rebel" said he was ready to die"
The Senator, looking as hale as
ever, expects to work tomorrow as he
usually does on his birthday ami
versary.
The only celebration he permitted
was held Friday at Lynchburg, Va, so
that Glass could come here to pre-
pare for the opening of Congress this
week. The Virginia Kiwanis Clubs
dedicated "Cartq Glass Oak" in q
park near the SeEl1or'S home.

GOOD CAST
While Bruce Cabot is virtually
the only box office name in the
cast, the other assignments
were made with an eye to get
ting the right player for the
right part. The picture is well
acted. Production values at
times belle the low budget,
spectacular use of ultra-high

to a story that carries plenty

Edward Norris, the brother who
stands firmly beside him though
realizing that Cabot is using him
for his own ends, even to making
a play for his girl, are handled
with restraint and subtlety.

"The Life Of the Party
I(RKO),
Eating: Good

This song and dance show
has all the established ingredi-
ents for sprightly entertain
ment and they follow one an
other with unfailing verve.
Though lacking outstanding
novelties, the class production
still packs enough that is tune
full and amusing, presented by
a cast headed by Joe Penner
and a group of name players,
to make it a money-maker every
where despite the present heavy
competition in this type Of Of
fering.
Musically the picture strikes
a high average and the music
is exceptionally we'll delivered.
There are probably no hit songs
of the first rank, but $50 You

SANTLEY STORY
One other number stands out,
a ballad of light-opera type,
"Roses in December" by George
Jessel, Herbert Magidson and
Ben Oakland. sung by Harriet
billiard. Musical direction by
Roy Webb is excellent.
The story by Joseph Santley,
as scripted by Bert Kalmar,
Harry Ruby and Viola Brothers
Shore, is chiefly marked by its
comedy episodes for Penner.
ParkyakarkuS and Billy Gilbert,
the latter as a temperamental
orchestra leader. There is also
a running romance for Gene
Raymond and Harriet billiard,
the former as a lively heir to a
fortune and the latter as a So
ciety deb trying for a career as a
singer, with Helen Broderick as
her agent. None of the roles are
off the beaten track, but they
are filled with a spirit of contin-
uouS gayety.
GOOFY COMEDY
Penner squeezes every possible
ounce of his goofy comedy from
rather slender material, and his
one-man band that comes to grief
is a riot. Parkyakarkus strug-
giles with the English language
to amusing effect, and Victor
Moore delivers battery of COM
edy gags.
The dancing is led by Ann Mil
Ter in crisp tap routines, and is
smartly directed by Sammy Lee.
Direction of William A. Setter

ply Of j. Roy is superlative, with

ska, the Polish countess who be-
came the great love, and the
great sacrifice, of his life.
Every mannerism, every detail
of expression, was based on
actual knowledge Of the charac-
tiers themselves.
AUTHENTICITY GOAL
When preparation started,
Miss Carlo and Boyer set about
the task of presenting the pair,
not as figures in history, but as
the actual man and woman who
lived and loved in 1906. Every
scrap of information possible
was assembled in a six-month
quest by Metro oldwyn-Ma
research department. Old let
tiers, more than 500 books on
the subject, memoirs, old pic
lures, documents and even old
London newspapers, were Sifted
for information, which the stars
carefully scanned.
These were not important his
torical facts, but details of per-
sonal nature about the people
themselves. In characterizing,
they were more concerned with
what these people were, than
what they did.
FEW REHEARSALS
Rehearsals were few during
the filming of the picture. Carlo
and Boyer often held consulta-
tions over a line or scene, debat-
ing if the characters would have
acted as they proposed to.
For instance, in the farewell
scene at Elba, where Carlo ar
rives with her four.year-old son,
and Napoleon sees his offspring
for the first time, they debated
as to just what imperial reserve
should be mingled with a par
ent'S natural love. Napoleon
was always somewhat of the
actor in public. Hence a very
reserved greeting before the at
tendantS was decided on, but,
when the couple was disclosed
alone, the most dramatic love
scene in the picture was played.

Obeying Union Rules

The obligations which individuals take
when they join q / labor union to obey its
rules ond regulations is equdllY impor-
tdnt as the obligations which unions tdke
to faithfully observe agreements made
with employers.
One Of the major purposes Of every
union is to fix minimum wage scales for
its members, dnd no union member is
permitted to work for less thdn the scale
without special permission from the I'M
ion. which is very rarely given. This rule
is necessary TO preserve union rates.
Occasionally q few scale chiselers
operate within union ranks. When this
occurs. drastic action is necessary by
loyal union members and Officials to pre-
serve the union rates dnd protect the liv-
ing standards based on those rates.
