Then six months ago the storm blew up from a new quarter, within the ranks of medicine.
 It was a letter signed hy 430 phy- sicians-''the committee of 430'- favoring making the health of Lhe people "the direct concern of goy- ernment"
 The stunning thing about this letter was that it was first printed in newspapers, the Hay" press, ln- stead of in medical journals, as medical ethics would require.
 The @430" were organized by q dozen prominent physicians who had been actively interested in q study Of medical needs made by the American Foundation under di- rection of Esther Lape. This same study had been one basis for the New York state resolutions six months before. At that time there were reports in medical circles that President Roosevelt was much in- terested in the Iape report.
 The "430" charged that the Am erican Medical Association was re- fusing their side a fair hearing in it's Journal. On March the Journal announced that there would be more discussion in it's columns Of the problems of medical care. This was hailed as ending a medical revolt"
 Committee Sits Data
 But even before the March truce the American Medical Association had definitely decided to go into the whole problem in new way, and on it's own responsibility. Its Board of Trustees announced ap- pointment of committee to get q national, but strictly medical, in- vestigation of medical care, costs and how to meet the bills.
 This action was taken after the American Public Health Association had requested the AMA to do some thing of the sort.
 For these reasons the American Medical Association comes to San Francisco committed to study the issue whose very name was for

Situation
Shortage of Top
Pictures Is
Noted.
Bv Harry Macarthur.

THERE is situation in the film
marts, if situation is some
thing you care to cope with or
Il a Sunday morning. The situa-
ton is a shortage of top-fight pic
lures and the shortage has the movie
people off on another trend. this the
reissue of a number of the better
pictures of the past.
The shortage has hit the neigh
borhood theaters first and hardest,
because the really good pictures stay
two or three weeks or more downtown,
clog the booking schedules and leave
the neighborhoods quietly waiting.
With the better films going into ex-
tended downtown runs there's little
left for the second-run theaters, but
"B" pictures and these reissues.
But now the trend is hitting down.
town houses, too. You see it at the
Metropolitan, where the technicolor
production of Trail of the Lonesome
Pine has been brought back for
another run. You see it also in the
mail from the New York Offices of
the picture people. United Artists
announces a reissue Of the picture
that brought Robert Donald to his
film prominence, Count of Monte
Cristo," and Paramount is again bring
ing out, sin response to hundreds of re-
quests" it says, "A Farewell to Arms"
with Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes.
The brighter side for the downtown
theaters is provided by pictures like
TEST Pilot" and Mad About Music"
and some others. The M-G-M saga
of commercial aviation, or whatever
the M-G-G people are calling it, is
as exciting an item as has been put
on celluloid for many moon and
it's sure to stay two, maybe three,
weeks at the Palace, then perhaps
60 to the Columbia to continue its
stay downtown. And Hardie Meakin
is sure that the new Deanna Durbin
picture will stay at Keith's two weeks,
not at all sure it will not remain
three or four weeks.

means Of telling story but that the
picture as q whole is all-important.
Miss Dietrich has never been sub
jected to such an attitude and her
reactions to it should be interesting.
There will be no long close-ups in the
Won Sternberg manner and it is doubt
full that the studio will permit the
star to supervise the assembling OF
the f1lm. One of the more glamorous
ladies of the screen, it Is possible that
the actress popularity can be revived.
A T THE outset motion pictures were
the product of realism. They
were made on stages open to the sun.
Step by step artificiality has overtaken
them until today the industry has
learned that illusions created with
the piano wire and transparent screens
appear more genuine than do the
actualities. Costly as Is miniature
work, it is far less expensive to make
a scene on process stage than it is
to employ the actual elements. To
technicians nature is an obstacle.

A CLERK in the Hollywood

\ before long table heaped
with an odd conglomeration of mail
bearing postmarks from all over the

This Is Hollywood's famous trick mail
pile.
1t represents the strange workings of
the movie fan mind. 1t also repre-
sents an acute and endless headache

In the stack are letters, cards and
packages which the senders hope will
be delivered to their favorite perform

conventional manner. Instead, playful
fans have resorted to pictures. draw

that would do credit to writer's of an

velope in his hand. Across its face is
scrawled chain of pictures and let

The clerk taps the letter pensively
against thumb and beckons for an

clerk.

rack comes Tom. demon puzzle solver

and his mind must be lightning cali

troubled assistants, looked at the
letter a moment and said:
Put it in Dick Powell's box"
BY way of explanation, he added:
'The policeman is for Dick the ex-
plosion is for Pow and the Il COM

pile. Shipman resumed other duties
