In The Local TheaterS
POLI'S

One of the years really excep- tional motion pictures, "Wife, Doctor and Nurse," sparkling Twentieth Century Fox romantic drama star ring Loretta Young, Warner Bax- ter and Virginia Bruce, which opens at the Loew PoM theater Saturday, required stars in the important leading roles whose performances would aid the unusual story in re- flecting the mood of today.
 Such an assignment necessitated careful consideration in choosing capable stars to portray the import ant characters.
 Because of her past successes, Loretta Young was chosen for the role of the wife, 8 woman with mod- ern ideas, but not modern enough to share her husband. Her selec- ton was 8 tribute to her acting ability and her tremendous popu- larity.
 Warner Baxter, whose record of achievement in several past hits is unparalleled, was the logical choice for the part of the doctor who loves his wife but also needs his nurse. A favorite of theatergoers every where because of his versatile tal- ents, Baxter deserved the important assignment.
 To share starring honors with Miss Young and Baxter, blonde, beautiful and gifted Virginia Bruce

Jealous Hollywood Claims the Woods
 Are Full of Charlie McCarthyS
Studios Hunt Elm Up to Meet Latest BIOckElead
 Competition

 Hollywood Short Takes:
 Flesh-and-blood actors, perhaps a little jealous of the attention a ventriloquist's dummy is getting, are saying that the woods are full of guys like Charlie Mccarthy.
 Certainly Hollywood is full of them. Several of the studios are scrambIing to line up block headed comics and their spOkes- men as competition for Mc- Carthy and Edgar Bergen.
 Earl Carroll is planning a super gigantic Hollywood night club patterned after Mar1hattan's French Casino. Seems like a good idea: the Casino occupies the former Earl Carroll Theater, which he lost with his "Vanities" ventures.
 Shoppers are busy at Para mount tracing what is believed to have been an inside leak on stars addresses and telephone numbers. Somebody at every studio must sell this information, because a complete directory of all the prominent people in the colony is available through obscure sources for $50.
 Greta Carlo has taken dras- tic steps to renew her privacy. Fired all her servants, engaged a new staff, and has moved to another house in Brentwood - this one at $50 North CIiffwoOd, in case you'd like to drop her note.
 Meanwhile Melville Cooper is going crazy because all the con- ductors of sightseeing tours point out his home as Miss Garbo's. Fans camp in the street for hours waiting for 8 glimpse of the wan Swede, and they think they sense romance or @ scandal in the fre- quent comings and goings of Actor Cooper.
 An Elevator Picture
 Some of the studios remake a lot of their old pictures with different casts, new titles and some story changes. "Rafter Ro- nance" in which Ginger Rogers and Francis Lederer co-starred in 1883 now is being filmed with James Dunn and Joan Woodbury in the top spots. But the locale has been altered, too, for the name now is Love in a Base- ment."

No Ban on Raw Materials


 The point is that, although an arms embargo-declarable if the president found 8 state of war to exist-would automatically shut of all exports of planes, guns and munitions, there is no law under which exports of scrap iron, oil, cop- per and other war materials could be stopped. A leash and carry" order would tend to favor Japan more than China.
 Exports of oil and gasoline to Japan from January to July, inc elusive, amounted to about 15,- 5OO,OOO barrels with a value of more than $22,OOO, ,OOO, according to department of commerce fig- ures. That represented an increase of about 6,OO0,00O barrels over the same period in 1886.
 Figures on scrap iron, scrap steel and scrap tin exports for the same period amounted to 1,536,000 tons. valued at $31 1,500,000, as compared with 644,000 tons and $8,400,000 in the first seven months of 1886.
 Export to Japan of copper, a very important war material, n- creased from 47,000,000 pounds to $85, 100000 pounds-in value from about $4,100,000 to $11, 100000.
 Japan Copies U. s. Products
 China's January-July cooper im- ports from this country rose from 3,000,000 pounds to 8,250,000. Her imports of scrap haven't been i'm. portant enough for the commerce department to list. Although in July she had bought but 13 Ameri. can planes, compared with 87 al that time last year, the August September demand for planes to China increased considerably. Munitions export records show that the Japanese, eager cOpyists, often have ordered 8 single item one propeller or one engine, per-
 haps-presumably to make their
 own instead O buying them here in quantities.
 Almost anybody's old automo. bile, bed springs or radiator may have killed a few Chinese by now But nothing can be done about il without another act of congress The administration cold-shoul. dered the last series of proposalA for a ban on export of scrap.

Washington, Oct. 7.-1t is perfect ly true, as charged, that Chinese and their cities are being destroyed with many tons of American-and other-scrap iron showered upon them in Japanese bombs and shells.
 On the other hand, the Chinese
 have been buying far more ac-
 tual implements of war from us
 than have the 0Japanese. Each
 nation is using plenty of our stuff
 to help kill off the trOOps-Or
 civilians-Of the other.
 Roughly speaking, assuming this years exports from the United States have gone into the current warfare, the Japanese are hurling about $35,ooO,000 worth of our scrap at the Chinese and the Chinese are using around $5,000,- 900 of the American produced arms, munitions and planes in defense.

Embargo Would Aid Japan

This appears to be the chief basis for complaints that the present of- ficial policy of neutrality, which al- lows virtually unrestricted sale of anything and everything to any na- ton which wants 1t, now favors Japan at the expense of China.
 The state department doesn't like that allegation. In fact, it's surprisingly easy to pick up the impression around the department that the chief reason the presi- dent isn't applying the neutrality act is that China needs the arms she can buy from us rather badly, while Japan is an unimportant customer for them and would benefit from an arms embargo. Thus, in September, licenses for arms exports to China about dou- bled the August figure and the Japanese demand fell of.

Regardless of how bitter they
are about the attack made in

One Of the opposition halted
long enough to comment sar-
castically, but laughingly, upon
the reported meeting at the
White House of several pro-court
Senators on the night the letter
was sent.
The Presidents charge that
the opposition forgot decent re-
spect for the death of Senator
Robinson in talking politics
caused him to say:
did you hear about the
depreciation that was committed
at the White House? It is re-
ported several opposition Sena-
tors disguised as prO-cOurt Sena-
tors went up to the White House
and tied the President up and
made him listen to politics"
At that the Presidents letter
had one good effect. It opened
the way for egg-nog parties with
the members Of Congress at
Christmas.
Asked if this letter wouldn't
prolong the session, one Senator
exclaimed:
"If it keeps on this way wen
be here until Christmas and you
must come up to my house and
I'll have some egg nOg fixed up
for you"
THE SENATE'S unwritten
rule that no photographs can
be taken while it is in session
has been abridged.
While pictures have been taken
now and then, Senate guards
are always on the lookout for
such attempts and promptly eS-

Robinson one photographer was
allowed in gallery across from
