The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-22
Pure Patriot

Unless my memory plays me false MT. Grace appeared in Washington when the soldiers bonus payment was an issue. To oppose it. To a patriot of MT. Grace's self-sacrif1cing idealism any payment of filthy lucre to men who had been in the service at thirty bucks a month and a fine chance to get knocked off, was an insult and a reflection or their love of country. But it was the same Boss of Bethlehem Steel who appeared at another hearing in Washington on another occa- sion and justified the payment of some. millions of dollars to himself by his corporation for handling successfully the business affairs of the company over a few short years. With that in memory if were 2 c. |. o. party to any agreement, oral or written, with Mir. Grace I am afraid | would be obliged to ask him to put up his left lung and his right eye as security he would keep the pact.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-22
Another Contract

If the c. I. o. has broken its written contract with General Motors, which is 8 decidedly ar- guable contention, there is one contract which, so far as I can find out, it has observed. It is the written agreement entered into between itself and the United States Steel Corporation, tbe Car negie Illinois Corporation. and the other steel. manufacturers outside the Girdler- Grace -Purnell group. What these organizations were willing to do and did without any subsequent labor trouble would seem to furnish an example which the last-ditch advocates might follow. This they have steadfast- ly refused to do. And it must not be forgotten that before an en- frightened labor policy was brought to bear in the United States Steel Corporations dealings with its workers that company was as bit- terly antagonistic to any union ization of any of its men as Beth lehem, Republic, and Inland are today.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-22

the Presidents court bill to di- rect their floor battle against it, is an unusual parliamentary de- vice. There were two reasons be- hind the action:
 FIRST was the desire to head off the vaunting ambition of Sen- ator Ed Burke to be the bgi-shot generalissimo of the court bill op- position. The Nebraskan had acted as front man" during the Judiciary Committee hearings, had worked hard and tirelessly. He felt he was entitled to lead the fight on the Senate floor.
 But the other opposition lead- CTS didn't consider him big enough for the job. Burke has had no experience directing major par liamentary contest, and in addi- tion he is none too fast on his feet. All were agreed they needed an abler and more tried leader, but the problem was whom to pick and how to Shelve Burke without offending him. The steer-' ing committee device solves the problem.
 SECONDLY, none of Burke's colleagues wanted to take the po- litical risk of being the No. op- position chief.
 Behind their buOyant ex- teri0rs, some of the antis pri-
 vately are very jittery about
 their split with Roosevelt, and chary about sticking their necks
 out farther than they have to.
 So on the theory that in num-
 bers there is safety" they resort
 ed to the committee scheme,
 which at the same time enabled
 them to elbow Burke out of the
 limeligbt without sending him
 into a Sulk.
 NOTE-The real brains of the opposition is Republican Floor Leader Charley McNary, one of the most astute political strate- gists in the country. The willy Oregonian has carefully kept ill the background throughout the court fight, but the democrats leading the opposition have made no move without first consulting him.

Applicable

To the bloody, disgraceful war raging in certain industrial cen- ters of Michigan, Ohio, and Penn sylvania between the last ditch steel barons and the Committee for Industrial Organization the Lackaye retort to Bill Brady is applicable. The position of the steel barons ostensibly is that while they are willing to enter into an agreement with the c. I. O. they refuse, so long as there is breath in their bodies, to sign an agreement. Oral agree ment? Yes. Written agreement? No. The position of the c. I. O. is: "If you are willing to enter an agreement orally and intend to keep it what possible objection can you have to putting it in writ in?" In other words the position of the organizers of the men in the steel mills is the same as Lackaye's: we've got to have something to show the judge" The ultimate judge is the Amer ican people sitting in the Court of Public Opinion.

 "Well, I'm glad that's over," said he. You're the one man in the country for the part and I'm tickled to death that we've come to terms. Rehearsals start Mon- day, Bill, and please don't be late"
 Haven't you forgotten some- thing" asked Lackaye languidly.
 "What?" demanded Brady.
 "A contract" explained Lackaye quietly.
 "Why, Bill" exploded Brady. "A contract? Between you and me? Why we've been friends for years. We don't need contract All we need is handshake to bind the bargain"
 That's all very well, William" said Lackaye softly. Then he leaned across the desk and whis- pered in the Brady ear, But really I've got te have something to show the judss.@

Marshall Starring
At the Gayetv.
'DIZZY DANES" currently

DIZZY DANES" currently being
presented on the stage of JIMMY
Lakes Gayety Theater, is notable
principally for the clowning of one
Charles RED" Marshall. Mr.. Mar
shall does not spare his person during
MS appearances; he takes a beating
physically, and the risibilities Of the
audiences take more pleasant beat
ing IN the process. Red" who al
ways appears enthusiastic, provides
some of the most laughable bits to be
offered local burlesque patrons each
season. He is in excellent form this
time.
Evelyn Myers, an interesting plati-
mum blond, has been awarded top
billing on the feminine side, and does
of1er optic-cloying revelations. She
works in the style made famous BY
Hnda Wausau, but falls a bit short
OF equaling that vigorous personality.
Dolores Dawn, dark-haired and regal
In appearance, is more stately in her
method but Is an additional divertise-
ment Of no little merit. Dorothy
oeVler renders support OF importance
in the scenes.
Mac Dennison is the secondary
comedian, and he manages to come
through at several points with efforts
which are almost as funny as those Of
Mr.. Marshall. Murray Leonard, of
course. is recognized as one of the
best straight men now working for
Issy Hirst. He adds a dramatic song
rendition to his work as a foil-a
prison number which he executes to
excellent effect. The cast is COM
pleted by Harry Jackson, also an able
assistant to the funny men, and Ben
Hamilton, handling the male singing
assignment well and "straighting," also
well. G. A. M.

assuming the title of the movie colony S
greatest worrier. Mr.. Boyer's mental
processes are not devoted to anything
as trivial As handing over q large
chunk Of his salary to the Govern
ment, marital troubles, or the illness
Of his pet dog. Instead he worries
over the way he has just played q
scene, thus reversing the usual proc
ess Of worrying before the scene be-
gins and being light-hearted about
it afterward.
Its an odd habit that I've tried
unsuccessfully to break for years."
says Boyer. II wait until after q
scene is taken and then pace up and

In my mind, figuring out things I
could have done to make it better. I
find myself rehearsing lines that I

that I am to speak in the next Sc

The French star found his affiiction
especially troublesome during the film-
ing of Warner Bros "Tovarich," in
which he co-stars with Claudette Col

Because 'Tovarich' is a comedy,
and there are so many different ways
one can play comedy, I never was
certain just which was correct" Boyer
declares. "I'd make a scene and
Director Anatole Litvak would be sat-
isf1ed with it and so would until I'd
walk of the set Then I'd start

DARING ana, ln1erentlally, tne mOSl
magnetic personality on which the
Federal Government collects enter
tainment taxes. maybe few more
Temple pictures would balance the
budget, but this is piece about popu-
lar stars and not national f1nance)
After that one point of agreement,
the polls suddenly go berserk. The
degree of beserkness can best be indi-
Gated by giving their respective rank
ings of stars. Behind Shirley in the
Motion Picture Herald rating, occupy
ing positions from 2 through 10, are
Clark Gable, Robert Taylor, Bing
Crosby. William Powell, Jane Withers,
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers las
a team, Sonia Henie, Gary Cooper
and Myrna 10y.
Box Office lists them as William
Powell, Myrna 10y, Clark Gable. Paul
MUM, Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracy,
jeanette Macdonald, Claudette Col
bert and Robert Taylor.
Quite a disagreement that! 1t is
not as unexplainable, however, as you
might think Considering the varia-
ton in foundation, both polls probably
are right, and one as accurate as the
other.
Motion Picture Heralds ballot, for
example, is limited to picture exhibi-
tors, those with studio connections
and those rugged individualists who
add up to what is known as the
independents" That of box Office
excludes exhibitors with studio tie
ups, admits the independents and
adds motion picture editors, civic
groups and organizations actively in
terested in what Hollywood and its
major industry are doing.
There is a great deal of room for a
difference of opinion among groups
so varied. Except, of course. on the
subject of Shirley Temple. Into
either of the polls, Motion Picture
Herald's with its criterion of how
much" or box Offices of how popu-
lar" she fits like debutante's jodh-
purs.
One of the pleasant things about
the Box Office poll-not that the other
is unpleasant, for dollars, after all,
are dollars-is that it injects Paul
MUM and Spencer Tracy into the
first TO- The movies may have men
with better faces and physiques, and
even more drawing power, than these
two. but it does not have any finer
artists. 1t is wholesome thing that
room can be found for them in some
kind of ranking of picture stars,
other than that of winning, between
them, most of the prizes for best
performances.
Their listing should contribute a
little more Christmas good will toward
man on the part of those who like to
see artistic merit recognized in pic
lures.
