THREATEN TO
CRACK DOWN
ON WALKOUT
To Storm Frisco
Waterfront in
Exhibition
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan.
Is. (UP) Representatives
of California farmers met
here today with shipown-
ers to discuss plans for a
March on San Francisco"-the
agriculturists' proposed method of
cracking the Pacific coast maritime
strike and unloading cargoes they
say are needed in the fertile valley
fields of the state.
Plans for the demonstration spon-
sored by the Associated Farmers of
California, will be formulated at a
meeting in San Francisco at which
the group will seek cooperation of
the employers in the 78-day water
front walkout.
Fred L. Hogue, leader of the As
sociated Farmers of Stanislaus
county and an official in the state
organization, already has asked Gov.
Frank F. Merriam and Mayor An
gelo j. Rossi for police protection
in the event the farmers make good
their threat to storm" the San
Francisco cmbarcadero.
Numerous protests have been sent
from California's farming areas
against tie-up of large supplies of
poultry feed aboard idle vessels
held in San Francisco and San Pc
dro piers. Most of this feed is Ar
gentine corn.
Hogue said 10000 farmers would
participate in the movement, and
that definite plans were under way
to stage the march.
In his open letter to Merriam and
Rossi, Hogua asked. How much
longer do you think the farmers of
California are going to sit idly by
and watch a racketeer dictate pol
icy that will mean loss to their
markets and property? How long
will that notorious alien, Harry
Bridges, be allowed to paralyze the
industry and shipping of the Pacific
cOaSt?"

However, to keep child whose de-
fective hearing is very bad in a group

bad business, if a special class for the
Misunderstanding can possibly be pro-

into a virtual recluse, who summed
others and was suspicious of them, be-
cause he never knew what was being

Gay Comedy "The Great
"GarricE at the State.

Using for its hero the immortal
British actor David Garrick, a gay
comedy of that star and his times is
coming Saturday midnight, Sunday and
Monday to the State Theatre, with
Brian Aherne in the role of Garrick
and Olivia de Havilland as Germaine,
the girl with whom he falls in love.
THE Great Garrick" is the title of
the picture, which was produced for
Warner Bros. distribution by James
Whale, under the banner and the per-
sonal supervision of Mervyn Leroy. It
is the fourth Leroy cinema since he
became an independent producer, the
others being 1.-THE King and the Chorus
Girl" Mr.. Dodd Takes the Air" and
They Won't Forget"
Garrick in the era of the 175Os was
acknowledged to be the greatest actor
the world had ever known. He could
play anything-comedy, tragedy, and
straight drama.

would teach the French to act" In
suited, the French stage folk decide to
frame him up and make him look ri
diculous.
How he turns the tables on them and
then goes on to success on the Paris
stage, IS what makes up the story. It
has some beautiful settings notably
the old Drury Lane Theatre in London
and the Coincide Franchise in Paris,
and various streets and dwellings in
the two capitals.
Supporting Mr.. Aherne and Miss de
HaVllland are such notable players as
Edward Everett Horton, Melville
Cooper, Lionel Atwill, Henry ONeiIl,
Luis Alberni, Lana Turner, Marie VIII

The Great Garrick," which is neither
historical nor biographical, but lust
sheer fun, was written for the screen
by the distinguished author Ernst
