STRAND

Adventure as only Rudyard Kip ling could write it blazes from the screen in the picturization of his Wee Willie Winkie" which began a four day engagement at Warner Brothers Strand theater this after noon with Shirley Temple and Vic- tor McLaglen in the starring roles.
 Adventure-rugged as the kilted Highlanders holding Khyber Pass, colorful as India's jeweled and brazen-hues, strange as the skrling bagpipes on the roof of Asia, roman tic as empires last untamed from tier-fills every moment of this eX- citing film, the most spectacular production in which Shirley Temple has ever appeared.
 The stars are given capable sup port by such sterling actors as C.. Aubrey Smith, Michael Whalen, June Lang, Cesar Romero, Con- stance Collier and young Douglas Scott. The companion feature pre- sents that singing sensation of Jack Benny's Sunday night programs, Kenny Baker, in MT. Dodds Takes The Air" .......
 Kenny has five great song hits in the picture and he makes the most O: every one of them.
 The young crooner has a meaty role as a small-town electrician who suddenly found himself fa- nous radio star-all because of a throat operation. It is said by those who have seen the previews, that Baker makes the most of the role, and is refreshing new screen character.

Films Reform Tough Guy Raft
 And He's Taking It To Heart
With Sympathetic Roles Now He ReEaxes Laughs Out Loud Rags to Riches No Myth for Director Pasternak

Gangster parts were just plain dirty and sordid. felt like Baby-Face Nelson or Dillinger.
 "Oh, still kind of like to play 'em, as a job of acting, but not for any other reason. That's why I figured I just had to get other kinds of partS-Or else"
 AND HE'S IN LOVE
 Quite change also has come over MT. Raft personally. Hollywood re- members him as a former fighter and hoofer who came out here and continued to, dress and behave in the accepted Hell,S Kitchen fashion.
 His pants came clear up under his arm pits and his coats were tailored like caricature of a Broadway slicker. He went around with his eyes half closed, talked from a corner of his mouth, and wore his hair like the polished Sur- face of an 8-ball.
 On being introduced, if you said you were glad to meet him he'd snake out a hand for quick shake and answer, "Likewise!"
 Of course these are not charac- teriStics to be discarded overnight. MT. Raft still reminds you of Geor- gie Raft But he dresses more con- servatively, laughs out loud, and is relaxed in his manner. Also he's in love, with blond Virginia Pine. WAITED ON FAME
 The colonys best rags-to-riches story is the story of Joseph Paster- nak. He came to this country as an immigrant from Hungary, but with a determination to get into pictures.
 Watching his chance, he got a job at the cafe at ParamOunts Long Island studio. As soon as he knew the executives he began dropping hints to Director Allan Dwan that he wanted an assist ants job. Dwan finally hired Pas ternak in self-defenSe. ,...
 It wasn't, long until he came to Hollywood as assistant to Wesley Ruggles. Universal sent Pasternak to Germany, then to Vienna to pro- duce a picture. When he returned he brought his director, Henry Kos ter. They sat around, idle, for months until assigned to film "Three Smart Girls"
 Nobody thought the picture would amount to much, especially since the, cast contained three unknowns in the leading roles. But it was a smash hit, and now it has been fol- lowed by HOO Men and Girl"
 Producer Joseph Pasternak is a more important figure today than almost any of the men he used to wait upon.

BY PAUL HARRISON


 NEA Service Staff Correspondent Hollywood. d.-George Raft is re- garding his new self these days with some pride, and no little sur prise. He's no longer a tough guy with lacquered, hair and slit-eyes Well, not very tough, anyway. And his rehabilitation on the screen las made a big difference in his pro- tesSional life. '.-
 He has had a stormy five years of it--killing and getting killed in pictures, quarreling with his stu diO and getting suspended.
 But the only battle Raft ever won was for his part in Souls at Sea-. It's a sympathetic part, with a lot of fun in it, and although he's reformed blackbirder of un- savory past he has a chance to sacrifice himself, at the end, for . pal.
 The transformation has been accepted so enthusiastically that he probaDly never Will go DacR to sinister roles, and second sym pathetic picture, Dream of Love, already has been set aside for him
 t
 OTHER PARTS-OR ELSE
 "A guy can't be a heel all his life, Raft says. Not all his screen life anyway. You'd be surprised how deeply most of the fans feel about actors who are typed. If guy is always a bad one, the public gets to hating him and his fans fade away. "Gangster stuff got to be especial ly bad-for me or anybody else. When the G-men started doing their stuff they shot all the romance out of the movie-mobster business.

POLI'S

A wild buckaroo out where the West begins, Ginger" Jane Withers begins where the wild West leaves off in her grandest Twentieth Century-FoX comedy, Wild and Woolly," opening today at the Loew Poli Theater. Riding runaway trains getting her gun-tottng grandpop played by Academy Award winner Walter Brennan, into a duel, scar iug the wits out of tenderfoot pals in a graveyard at midnight, chasing city gangsters on careening stage coach, and roping young lovers into romance, Jane makes Buffalo Bill look like a Softie.
 Completely surrounded by hel greatest cast, in the most hilarous show these pandemonium makers have ever been in, that Jane Withers girl learns the ways of the West from her old-timer grandpop but what the West learns from Jane makes hilarous comedy.
 The original screen play by Lynn Root and Frank Fehton opens in the old frontier town of Mesa City which is about to celebrate its first Pioneer Day Jubilee. Jane has in- herited the feud between her grand- father and Berton Churchill, un- scrupulous town banker, carrying it on with the latter's grandson, Jack Searl. Jane's chief stooge is Car. Alfalfa" Switzer, of "Our Gang fame. They call him Zero, but he's 8 regular adding machine fol laughs. Jacks aide is Douglas Scott and both are rank tenderfeet.
 Douglas Fowley plays the role of a big city gangster out to help Banker Churchill in one of his nefarious enterprises. Their paths cross the romantic way of Pauline Moore and Robert Wilcox, who don't ever know they're in love until Jane ropes them in.

program still to be completed.
During the afternoon the COM
mittee will decide whether or not
the income tax will be made retro
active as to the last half Of 1886.
Report Next Tuesday
Previously It was. planned that
the subcommittee would make a
partial report to the full COM
mittee this morning, but this ar
rangement was postponed because
the. subcommitte had not com.
pleted consideration Of its pro-
gram.
It is now planned for the sub.
committee to make complete re-
port to the full committee next
Tuesday.
The subcommittee had already
agreed that the first payment to
be made on the business privilege
tax will be computed on the 1885
gross receipts Of persons subject
to It.
However, the subcommittee
members emphasized that this
business privilege tax is not Of q
retroactive nature, but that the
1886 gross receipts are to be used
as a basis merely because it Is to
be anticipated that the 1896 re-

The subcommittee will take into
consideration a statement made to
1t late yesterday by Capt. Theodore
s. Wilkinson, of the Navy De.
partment, who urged that the of.
ficerS and men Of the Navy sta.
toned in Washington be ex.
empted from the local income tax.
He argued that the Navy per.
sonnet Is here because they are
assigned here, adding that even
now 1t Is difficult to get officers
voluntarily to take Washington
assignments because of the high
cost Of living here.
He pointed out that if the Navy
officers are made subject to the
local income tax here, it would be
the only place in the country
where such is the case, since the
States are prohibited from taxing
Federal salaries.
The newest proposition which
the subcommittee agreed to in
clude in the tax bill is that sug

money from the Federal Treasury
