many years ago, that he would never
spend any big money he might make
In pictures in a Hollywood way.
Swimming pools, yachts, hillside
estates and such we're the things
mentioned at the time as the "Hol-
lywood way"
Now the IS 5,0OO-a-week Cagney has
his expressive thumb deep in the
real estate pie. Not deep enough to
burn it, perhaps, but far enough in
to keep him pleasantly worried.
He owns tiny Collins Isle, in a
California bay, outright, and he has
two properties on Martha's Vine
yard, OF the New England Coast.
He recently bought IS of Beverly
Hills most expensive hillside acres,
where he will build soon. He is
living now in house he owns, which
he rented for several years.
Just outside the window Of the
bar r-den library I could see a tiled
pool. Jimmy's 65-foot yacht is an
chored IS miles away.
1t looked to me, I thought out
loud, that Jimmy has taken up Hol-
lywood ways in big way.
II don't think so," said he
thoughtfully. These are all in
vestments. At least everything ex-
cept the boat, which bought at a
bargain at the low point In the de-
preston. There's water in the pool,
but you'll seldom see any Cagneys
in it. The pool made the place more
desirable rental property.
II haven't lost money on any Of
these things"
"Have you made any money!" I
asked.
II haven't sold anything" he
grinned. Perhaps I'm afraid to
put my purchases to the test to see
II they are the bargains I think they
were.
Besides (this was quite an ad-
mission) one has to 60 along .

dozens of old firearms-muzzle

Franklin stoves and a feeling of
permanence. That is home. But
since I work here, I must live here
a part of the year."
Cagney, who can be tough off the
screen when he wants to be, has
had more than one mans share of
arguments about the kind of parts
he plays. But producers were made
to argue and actors to act. Actors
always weaken. Jimmy is no ex-
ception.
He'd prefer to do song and dance
stuff or comedy, like boy Meets
Girl" But Cagney being mice" or
Cagney being funny doesn't seem
to meet with the fullest public ap-
proval. Cagney has to be rough
and tough, and that's how he is
in Angels With Dirty Faces"
THE producers think that's what
the public likes" he told me. Prob
ably they are right. I used to think
it would be worth a lot to get away
from such parts. I have no opinion
In the matter any more. I hope
those who like that kind of pictures
Will find Angeles just the kind of
picture they like"
In private life Jimmy does not
use firearms either for business or
pleasure. He doesn't even fish, al

families at Martha's Vineyard are

that none of the 81 Malay dialects
of the Philippines are sufficiently
elastic or complete to BECOME ma
tiOnal languages. Illustrative of
this point was the case OF Nlcaslo

was forced to make his telegram
a mixture of Tagalog and English.
COUNCIL MEMBERS FAIL
Similarly, the Manila municipal
council attempted to conduct a
meeting in ,Tagalog. Not one
member of the body was able to
make a speech completely in the
dialect.
Designation of Tagalog as the

fer that English and Spanish will
be abandoned by the Philippines.
Those two languages continue to
be the official language" Edu-
cational laws make it compulsory
for all schools both public and
private, to teach English. That
fact probably explains why Eng

que. Although Spanish still is
spoken extensively, its use has
been gradually declining in re-
