Police 'EFOrce" Jailed

HERE'S one Of the little articles from Dunn.
"A N. c.: Entire police force locked in cell.
Police Chief Parker, weighing over 800 pounds,
Is locked up for charge Of Staying Lawrie Able,
Of Texas six years ago. He claims he killed him
in selfdefense, only after the other man had
pulled gun on him" What would happen to
our other towns and cities If the police force con-
sisted Of one man, wonder?
Here is another very interesting article: "The
WPA is going to buy up all the women's surplus
winter coats. These are to be turned over to the
poor. who cannot afford to buy them. The coats
are to be bought at price Of from IS to Sc each,
while the retailing price is $1S to $2O" This is
very excellent idea. as it gives the merchants q
chance to lay in new winter stock Of coats and
will aid many poor souls

Wage Cutting Disappr0Oed

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in his latest fireside
l. chat. cordially approved cutting steel prices,
but disapproved any idea of cutting wages. It's
. neat trick if it can be done: Paying absolutely
unprecedented wage rates, flagrantly boosted tax
imposts, and. at the same time, drastically lower
ing prices.

Just because few companies have a complete

RE-MAKING "DULCY"
MertO-G oldw Xn-Mayer has
pulled "DuIcy" down from the
shelf and put it on the prOduc-
tion schedule for a remake.
"DuIcy" was the George S.
Kaufman-Marc Connolly comedy
collaboration that in 1921
brought Lynn FOntanne to the
American front as a sparkling
actress.
1t was a success in the movies
with Marion Davies as the
featLerhead queen of the bro

from F. P. AS column. No ac-
tress yet mentioned for the re-
issue, but it would be neat
assignment for CarOle Lombard.

tant factor to any star in her
field, Diane also has a better
than-average voice and a dy-
manic personality, the latter so
many of her predecessors lack.
This fair maiden is to be heard
from in the future, so keep your
eyes on her.
The comedy team of Mike
Sachs and Alice Kennedy make
this attraction one of the fun
niest and most amusing shows
seen here this season.
On the distaff side of the bill,
to assist Miss johnson, are such
beauties as Ina Thomas and
Winnie Garrett, both lasseS who
offer much in the way of song
and dance, as you like it.
Benny "Wop" Moore, assisted
by Lew Petel, contribute further
laughs to a show which has
more than its share Of them, and
Wen Miller's fine voice, which
is heard in many of the musical
numbers, completes the cast.

Good Picture
On Screen
AtLittIe

Margaret Lockwood, Gau-
mont-BritiSh's current pride
and joy, is being seen on the
Little Theater screen this week
in Three On a Weekend" in
which John Lodge is her lead
ing man. Definitely on the SEN
timental side is the story of
this film, but fine performances
and direction and generous
dashes of comedy make it COM
pletely palatable. 1t is the first
picture in which Miss Lockwood
gets top billing. She is a young
lady of undeniable talent and
beauty and should become some
thing of favorite on this side
of the Atlantic if future We
hicleS measure up to that now
at the Little.
The plot treats of the bank
holiday vacation at the seashore
in which a hospital nurse and
her fiance participate. The
girls liStleSSneSs, occaSioned by
her thoughts of a broken-heart-
ed father, widower of a patient
who had died in childbirth, re-
suits in q quarrel. She leaves
for London to comfort the man,
becomes involved in robbery
of which she had no knowl-
edge, reaches her destination
barely in time to save the unfor-
tunate from suicide.
John Lodge offers a sympa-
thetic portrayal of the bereft
widower; Hugh Williams does a
good job in the role of the fr-
ritated swain, and Rene Ray,
Linden Travers and Merle Tot
tenham are best of the others.
Carol Reeds direction has done
much to make this unheralded
release a pleasant surprise.
Treatment of the holiday atmoS-
phere sequences are particularly
distinguished, the touches of
humor are handled ably, and
Three On a Weekend" proves
to be a sleeper" in the race for
audience approval.

HE SPANKED EN-

HE SPANKED EN-
Taking them by and large,
and making due allowance for
honorable exceptions, they are
the bulwarks of the commercial
theater. For the most part men
without intellect, sensitivity, per-
ceptiOn or background, they
pander to the taste of the empty
headed, the bored, the insenSi-
tive, the cOmplacent who con-
stitute the bulk of the agency
trade and supply the golden
stream upon which the Broad
way theater feeds"
To this resounding boot in
the seat of the pantaloons, one
or two of the Monday night
jury replied, in kind, but the
majority took the rebuke as the
wall of a discouraged and dis
appointl1 playwright. This was
in 1884.
At any rate, Maxwell Ander-
son and Robert Emmett Sher-
wood we're both delighted at the
manner in which their new plays
were welcomed on E Street and
on Broadway, and expressed the
hope that all future productions
of the Playwrights Company
might raise their first curtain
at the National Theater. Elmer
Rice staged Abe Lincoln in Illl-
nois," and all the critics who
passed on his work as a crafts
man praised it highly.
Playwright Rice sought the
week of November 81 at the Ma
tional Theater for the first per
formance of American Land
Scape," but that date had al
ready been preempted by Tai
lulah Bankhead in Il Am Diff

tribute to Calvin Coolidge. 1t
was not a glittering success; in
fact, it was the most miSman-
aged affair ever staged by the
G. o. P. high command. A
troupe of burlesquers, hastily
summoned for the photogra-
pliers, was necessary to make it
a crowd.
PRIZE PLAY BOOKED
The Pulitzer prize play of
1888, Thornton Wilder's Our
Town" was definitely booked
for the National Theater today,
week of December IL.
New York production, headed

Sherwood was the movie critic
for Vanity Fair, when Robert
Benchley and Dorothy Parker

ton.

Burns Mantle is the historian
who AYERS: "One of Miss Park
er's criticisms gave OffenSe to
a Broadway manager, who pro-
tested to Mr.. CrOwninsheild,
who spoke to Miss Parker, who
answered with spirit, and was
fired"
"ThereupOn Mr.. Benchley and
Mr.. Sherwood, rising manfully
to the defense of the freedom of
the critic and the rights of
woman to speak her own mind,
quit their jobs in protest. AS
sympathetic strike their action
did not make the first pages Of
the press, but it gave the strikers
vast satisfaction, and was a lot
of fun"
