JOB CENSUS
PROPOSED
international News Service

Investigation of the Works
Progress Administration with a
complete study of the unemploy-
ment problem, was to be urged
upon the House today by Repre-
sentative Maverick Cd, of Texas,
leader of a liberal bloc which has
defended the WPA.
The Texan, a close friend of
Harry L. Hopkins, WPA admins
traitor, predicted Hopkins would
favor his proposal.
Meantime, movement was
started to revive the Hatch-Murray
migrating workers investigation
resolution approved by the Senate
and which has been buried in the
House Labor Committee.
Passage of an unemployment
census bill, however, was held in
allegiance pending approval of the
Administration. Maverick said:
81 want to see an investiga-
ton of the WPA conducted by
a committee of Senators and
Representatives, with a view to
obtaining the real facts about
the relief situation.
"The committee could find
out whether money was wasted
and whether the WPA is the best
organization to do the job.
also want a citizens unemplOy-
ment committee and there
should be an unemployment
census. Congress needs to have
all the facts possible about the
unemployment situation in order
to legislate on the subject"
The Hatch-Murray resolution
would authorize $4,000 for a study
of the needs of labor migrating
across State lines. The investi-
CATION was urged by Secretary of
Labor Perkins because of the
hundreds of thousands of floating
workers and the problem facing
both Federal and local agencies in
coping with the problem.

Back to town again and to an
appreciative audience comes the
ribald comedy of the Spewack's
boy Meets Girl" This anus
ing piece Of Hollywood at it's
maddest and merriest gives an
inside view of the picture max
ing industry and directs more
than a few clever barbs of satire
where needed.
Way out there in the West
where it is all too evident that
there's gold in them there hills,
the Royal Studios are faced
with a problem. And a major
one at that. Larry Toms, fad
ing star, is on his way out and,
all unawares, Happy" the stu
dos newest discovery, is about
to appear.
To the fullest does this present
company play the piece. Nov
ing so very rapidly and in so
light a manner it becomes hard
to capture any Of the exact bon
motS the players deliver. Never
theless being a play of situations
it is these that put the play in

Triple Play

Arthur Reilly, whose voice has
nightly detailed the news of the
day to Washington air audiences
for what is probably the longest
record locally for successive broad
casts, will observe a triple anniver-
sary with his appearances on the
Loew'S Capitol stage starting Fri
day.
WaShington's popular Globetrot-
ter of the airwaveS will on that day
observe his fifth year in broadcast
ing, his 2500th successive news
broadcast and his own birthday.
During those $500 appearances
before the microphone Globetrot-
ter Reilly has offered Washington
ianS more news than any other
local aircaster. He also has the
distinction of having been the only
air commentator here to have two
regular broadcast periods daily for
a period of four years.
On the same stage program the
theater will present. Wini Shaw,
Houywood'S glamorous singing
Lady in Red" Talbert Haslett,

Norma KraSna reads the papers
and so does Groucho Marx.
KraSna used to be F. P. A. and
Haywood Broun'S Office boy and
reading the daily prints was part
of his job. Groucho reads 'em to
get gags. They combined last
summer on this story idea and
were such good statesmen that
Mervyn LIE Roy bought the story,
They started making the movie
last September. Did they feel bad
when Mrs. Wallie Simpson began
monopolizing the headlines? They
did not. For their story has an
ex-king falling in love with an
American woman. They went
right ahead and by the time that
the world heard about a famous
abdication over the radio, 1.-THE
King and the Chorus Girl" was
almost ready for piing into the
cans for shipment to the ex-
changes.
Then Mr.. Hays issued his firm
edict against stories even remotely
suggesting the famous royal ro-
nance. Those with pictures well
into production were exempted,
but the warning was attached
that all advertising and exploita-
ton coupling this picture with
current headline affairs would be
forbidden.
The Warner Brothers press de-
partment, following the Hays
code, observes strict silence. How
ever. THE King and the Chorus
Girl" will be released Easter week
and American movie audiences will
see Ferdinand Gravel. If audiences
should decide he looks and talks
like the Prince of Wales of 10
years ago, what's to be done about
it?
Gravel was English educated
and speaks without the slightest
trace of Partisan accent. I'VE

A GILT EDGED CAST
Playwright Reade's efforts to
project a side romance between
one of Stalin'S petticoat diplo-
mats and an underling in the
United States diplomatic service
is only Skimpily developed. They
begin their conversation on sex,
but soon detour to the writings
of Marx, which are poor stimu-
lantS for young love.
For the three acts of diplomatic
exchange Producers Bushar and
Tuerk have provided a tip-top cast
of actors and linguiStS. They are
excellent types and if their de-
corum leads one to believe that
good manners is a lost art in di-
plomacy it is because a satirical
pen prefers them that way.
George Graham provides an ex-
cellent characterization in the long
and arduouS role of Lord Cum
berland. John Williams, as the
English undersecretary, on looks
would be accepted by the State
Department forthwith and is the
one diplomat who contrives to pre-
serve a dignified note throughout
the international circus.
There are also fine exhibits from
Tenen Holtz, Stuart Casey, Donald
Randolph, Frank Mccormick,
Jean Delval, Bob Lewis, Robert
Shayne and Joseph Kallini. Lili
Valenty, only woman in the cast,
serves well with brief opportuni-
ties.
The single setting by Watson
Barratt is rich and handsome and
Edward Clarke Lilley's direction

longingly also of the heart-shaped tortellini,
cooked in the fashion of Bologna. Tortellini
is one of the many kinds of Italian macaroni.
The Bolognans combine this with marvelously
seasoned chicken.
From Milan comes the rice with chicken
sauce that is another Italian dish Nino rec

gives the chicken sauce its unique SAVIOR.

There are two other Italian specialties that
Nino mentions with particular enthusiasm.
The first is an antipasto made with anchovy
or sartiines; and the second is gnocchi. the
famous Italian Good Friday dish which has
been traditional for years.
But Italian food no longer holds the only
place in Nino's esteem. He has come to like

1t is temptation to speak of this artist as
romantic" figure Tall, slenderly built, sensi-
tive of face. reserved yet friendly in manner,
he seems to embody something of the tradi-
ton of his native Verona, the city where
Shakespeare deathless Juliet lived and loved
and lies buried. Nino's connection with that
immortal story has, in fact, been close one.
His father was guardian of Juliet's tomb and
from earliest childhood, Nino knew her his
tory and saw the pilgrims who still came. after
so many years, to visit her tomb.
Whatever romantic flavor clings to Nino,
however, is happy accident of physical APP
pearance and innate attractiveness. He is en-
tirely simple, genuine and free from affecta-
tons. And he is hard-working young man.
