75, ,0OO STEEL WORKERS
 GO OUT ON STRIK E

WASHINGTON. May 25-Climax- ng a year-old drive by John L. Lewis chairman of the Committee for Indus trial Organization, to unionize all of the five-billion-dollar steel industry, strikes became effective today against the three leading producers of the metal and more than 75,000 workers were thrown out of employment ID various parts of the country.
 The highly geared strike machin- cry was set in motion by the United Steel Workers of America which is financed and directed by the Commit tee for Industrial Organization, and affected at once the Republic Steel Corporation, the Inland Steel Cerpor- 2tion and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Corporation.
 Scattered disturbances have been reported. Scores of strikers were ar rested in South Chicago on charges of unlawful assembly. Five hundred policemen have been m0bilized and are held in readiness for possible trouble in South Chicago.
 As the United Steel Workers of America came to grips with the three independent producers, steel opera tions in five states were crippled, and now great furnaces, which in the last week operated at the highest volume of production since 1928, are banked
 The strike committee claims that the strike order has been uniformly needed 100 per cent.
 The chief point of dispute relates to the demand of the United Steel Workers to be recognized as the sole collective bargaining agency for the employees of the companies against the strikes are directed
 The strikes do not involve the Uni ted States Steel Corporation or the Laurhlin-Jones $ teel Corporation which recently signed agreements with the United Steel Workers of America

pictures which entertains and keeps

If not regretted.
The main shortcoming Of the

They are cast well as fast-talking
newspaper writer and rough-and-
ready detective lieutenant who un-
ravel the mystery of who killed
couple Of people, and they perform
skillfully. With better lines they
might have done something more to-
ward the hit status.
The story is one which should please
the mystery fans, though, lines or no

it is moderately dificult task to
figure out before Torchy Blame does

of course, you are an addict of movie

though. For all that the picture
seems to have been done with a
certain light-hearted spontaneity and
enthusiasm, it doesn't quite come OF.
It ought to be good, too. The dialogue
is clever for the most part and sthe

may be, but over here the exceedingly

film. It's enjoyable and it's funny.
but there's always the consciousness
Of lighting that is not too good, OF

that Hollywood could have done 30

On the other hand, If you can

Week End Millionaire" is more than
pleasant. It has one thing no per-
formers alien to United States humor
can take away from it, too, and that
Is Mary Brian. The young lady who
has been Hollywoods all-American
girl for quite q few years now never
looked lovelier, and that statement Is
to be read literally and not in the
sarcastic vein In which it has been
aimed at the actress who has to have
it said to her in every picture. Mary
is practically delicious. Buddy Rogers
is the lad who plays opposite her
smoothly and pleasantly and he also
helps add some United States mood.

One suspects that even the ghosts Of

on the screen while Garbo Is being
Marguerite Duval. To be sure, she
may not be like these earlier inter-
pretators Of this classic character. In
her own way, however, she contrives
a deeply moving performance than
which no more could be asked of any
ones Camille.
The role, Of course, is one which
makes exacting demands upon an
actress ability to play every shade of
love. Garbo has what both the part
and her large public expect.
There Is no surprise In what she
accomplishes. but Robert Taylor, as
co-principal, is likely to astonish those
who have written fAm of as so much
sex appeal. As Armand to Garbos
Camille, he Is an actor as well as an
ornament. It is highly to his artistic
credit that he rarely is more than a
stride behind her in emotional mo-
ments which she makes memorable.
Lionel Barrymore. without whom 1t
seems impossible to make pictures
these days, is distinct asset to this
one. As Armand's father, he Is the
best Of the Barrymores in the scene
in which he induces Marguerite to re-
nounce her love for his son. The Sc
quence could so easily slip from less
talented hands into the sob-stuff zone.
It does not, and neither does melo-
drama grab other equally powerful
moments. because the picture is cast
