scene of the picture. Mr.. Curtiz was
trying everything Nothing quite
pleased him, except possibly the fun
of squirting glycerine in the eyes Of
Priscilla Lane while his mind was
busy thinking up another possible
ending.
What you Think" he finally asked
the critic, who really was thinking
that in Just q few more minutes
he ought to be eligible for an old-age
pension.
The critic said he did not think
much of Mr.. Curtizs endings. He
suggested one Of his own, more to
Miss Lane because she is much pref
tier to talk to, than to Mr.. Curtiz.
Mr.. Curtiz did not snort, but only
for the reason that he lacked the
energy by that time. But the ending
finally crept into the shooting and
the critic went away feeling pretty
darned SNUG about it all.
Now, having seen the picture, he
no longer feels set up about his
suggestion. To the one the critic
outlined, Mr.. Curtiz added another.
1t is a very good thing he did, too,
for the first ending passes without
ripple of response from the audience.
The second one is howl. The critic
cannot imagine today what he was
thinking of-unless possibly it was
Miss Lane.
YOU really don't get a fair notion
Of how brightly Clare Boothe has
written in kiss the Boys Goodbye" un-
+, you see the play second time.
Her new satirical comedy at the
National, an extraordinarily witty
affair, evokes almost as much merri-
ment during second seeing as at
the first.
The only thing brighter than Miss
Boothe's play around town at the
moment is Miss Boothe. Somehow
or other the play ard playwright
look alike; very handsome, very intelli-
gent and well enough dressed to
justify using "egregious" again no
matter who scolds us. 1t is not neces-
sary to be terrified at meeting the
woman who can write play which
blisters so much of the species and
its antics. Like most persons who can
see things as clearly and say things
as cleverly, Miss Boothe is as un-
affected as cocker spaniel puppy.
IT WAS a very nice family party

Mexican Oil Seizures
DRESIDENT CARDENAs Of Mex

DRESIDENT CARDENAS Of Mexi-
CO announced the expropria-
ton of oil properties belonging to
American and British companies
and valued at some $500, 900, 600.
Wells, refneries and tankers were
seized and workers took control OF
all company offices in the repub-
lie. The American and British
employees and their families fed.
For the present the oil industry in
Mexico was paralyzed.
The companies concerned began
legal action attacking the consti-
tutionality of Cardenas' decree, and
it was said would carry the case
to the highest court. Both the
United States and Great Britain
were expected to challenge the
seizures and similar action threat
ened in the case Of mines as vio-
lation Of treaty obligations.
The action Of the Mexican gov
eminent was not entirely unexpect-

referring to the naval expansion
program.
THE momentous question, he
said, lis whether the doctrine of
force shall become enthroned once
more and bring in its wake, mex
orably, international anarchy and a
relapse into barbarism.
He did not refer to any nation
by name, but his implication with
regard to legal recognition Of Aus
tria's absorption by Germany and
Japan's expansion in China was
clear when he said:
The catastrophe developments
Of recent years, the startling events
of the past weeks, offer a tragic
demonstration of how quickly the
contagious scourge Of treaty-break-
ing and armed violence spreads
from one region to another"
He disclaimed 1.-The slightest In
tention to entertain any such notion
as the use Of American armed
forces for policing the world"
He specifically opposed the pro-
posal the United States retire from
the Far East.
In the Far East crisis, Hull said,
the United States has consistently
elaborated with other peace-seek-
ing nations.
The triumph Of the "seclusionist
viewpoint" he said, would ines
capably carry the whole world back

Of both the eastern and the western

Fish With Rainbow Hues

A rainbow fish, one Of the most
beautiful fishes in the world, was
recently captured off the coast Of
Portland, in southern Victoria. Only
two specimens of this rare fish have
been caught in sixty years, both off
the same coast. The rainbow fish
deserves its name, at least when
alive. 1t soon loses its brilliant
coloring after death. Rainbow hues
red, crimson, purple, bright yell
low and brown green-seem to glow
on the body, head and fms. Closely

ored than his mate, is further dis
tinguished by tall frontal spines.
