passed. North might now we'll have
reopened with two clubs, but chose
instead to double, hoping to gather
IN penalty if his partner held a good
hand. He overlooked completely the
fact that his partner might be weak
and thus forced to take out in a

port. This likely eventuality occurred.

West promptly pounced on two hearts

YFI WROTE this interview with
Carole Lombard like it happened,
you wouldn't believe 1t even If the
= editor did print it.
It was.an insight into the movie bus
iness-from Lombard's way of looking
at 1t. Business as usual" she said,
which was her manner of apologizing
for interruptions, which occurred
every three minutes. She spent the
afternoon getting into pictures and out
of them, buying a house, belittling
glamour, answering phone calls from
producers, directors and agents, auto
graphing pictures C"When I think Of
the bunk I've written on these things,
I get sick"), and. in between times,
telling about her latest enthusiasts.
I was worn out, just listening. Lom-
bard Is that way and lives that way:
Snap decisions. quick judgments, I'M
certainty about tomorow,s plans. She
knew at O'Clock what her next three
pictures would be. A years work. Two
hours later all three deals had been
called of (for good reasons, it seemed)
and she didn't know what her next pic
ture will be or when she'll make it.
To give you an idea, here's Lom-
bard's side of one conversation with
her agent:
What's that? Me play a violin |!
I'd look like q screwball. No. No. No,
that's out. I know it, q sweet deal,
but the story stinks. I don't care

Edward Robinson

On the Way.
By Harry Macarthur.

"HIS week the cinema horizon
looks bright again, though 1t
must be admitted there are
those weeks when it looks
bright only to turn out dull and
cloudy when Friday rolls around
We have been cheated, temporarily,
out of Walter Wanger's "Algiers,' the
picture lot of people are awaiting
with some eagerness, but there are
other things on the way which the
film fans should find pleasing
At the Earle Friday you will find
Edward G. Robinson in a role which
combines something new and some
thing old. It's the lead in crime
Aim, which is nothing new, and there
are undertones of comedy, which is
nothing new either, for there was that
Slight Case of Murder" he did. But
this time Mr.. Robinson plays q dis
tinguished neurological surgeon who
embarks upon career of crime to
study at first hand the mental and
physical reactions of criminals and
becomes so proficient he soon heads
a gang. The title is The Amazing
DIR. Clitterhouse" and the cast in
cludes Humphrey Bogart. Claire Ire
vor, Allen jenkins, Gale Page, Donald
Crisp and a number Of other Warner
Bros. people.
Robert Taylor's fans, who are, to
kick cliche while it's down, legion,
have only until Friday to wait for the
young mans latest film appearance,
this in THE Crowd Roars," coming
to the Palace The Crowd Roafs" Is
another Of those pictures designed both
to keep his admirers happy and to
show what tough guy Robert really

She has to get up at 6:45 every
morning because she has so much to
do. Like leather working. Gets en-
thusiastic about things and can't give
them up. "Mr. G" (that'd be Clark
Gable) took her skeet shooting six
months ago. And she became nuts
about that, too.
Il shoot three times week." she
said. "and I'm not bad at all I shoot

crazy about skeet like am. He likes

Other Lombard enthusiasts include

to the acre, twice the average. Good
ground. So good, I'm putting in
lemons. Ought to make a pile Of

Lombard swears she's going to quit
the movies She says 1t with conWc-
ton and adds an expressive, albeit
unladylike, expletive for emphasis.
She's fond of expletives. Peppers her
conversation with them.
Pride, said, will keep her working.
"Pride?" She laughed loudly and
harshly. THE hell it will. don't have

fact that the box-office returns did

one of the finest stage seasons we
have had in New York in some years.
It is true that, for the first time in
some seasons, we did not purchase any
of the stage crop for use on the
screen. But that is not as significant
as it might appear at first glance.
As a matter of fact. we looked with
interest at several of the productions.
But the prices quoted were more than
we wanted to pay. So, for one year,
we did not do any buying in that

creep through and freeze him. For
some reason, just why he didn't know,
he had feeling that the coming Win
ter was going to be extra cold.
So Jerry made those walls extra
thick He chose the stoutest cattails
and rushes he could find and dug up
the biggest roots he could manage. He
went little way up the Laughing
Brook for sticks. All these things he
towed across the Smiling Pool to the
new house and worked into the walls.
He dug up mud and worked it in with
the rusheS and cattails and sticks in
a way that only he and Paddy the
Beaver can.
Peter Rabbit, watching from the
bank, turned up his nose ut is moth
Ing but pile of rubbish said he. In
truth Peter wasn't to be blamed for
saying so. That is what It looked
like-just a great pile of rubbish.
What Peter couldn't see was that in
the center Of it was nice big roomy
chamber, one big enough for Jerry
and two or three friends to sleep in in
comfort. Not only this, but it was
high enough TO be dry even though
the water should rise quite a lot in
the Smiling Pool. And this nice dry
chamber connected with the water Gel
lar beneath, from which led tunnels
to the bank and to deep water
So, while in his tunnels and thick
walls Jerry was looking out for safe
ty in the nice. big, dry bedroom he
was looking out for comfort. If he
couldn't have had the safety with the
comfort he would have chosen the
safety. But as long as he could have
both he intended to have both.
Higher rose the walls and presently
the bedroom was rooted over AS had
been the case in the old house. tiny
spaces were left for fresh air to come
in and bad air to 90 out. No one
knows better than Jerry how neces-
sary fresh air is no matter how cold
the weather. SO he took care not to
seal the top Of his roof with mud, thar
the air might pass through. Many
nights Jerry worked and when at last
he laid the last stick and the last bull
rush ID place he felt that his new
house was worth all that he had gone
through all the hard work, and even
the terrible experience with Hooty the
Owl.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

The supreme court of the United
States has changed more in the last
three years than any other part Of
the federal government.
Three years ago, the reactionary
majority of the court, usually 5 to A
but sometimes reaching to 8, was
sitting pretty on the ruins of almost
everything the New Deal had tried
to do. 1t has nullifed the agricultural
adjustment act, the coal act, the rail-
road retirement act. 1t had revived the
infamy Of the Adkins decision of 1923.
which knocked out minimum wages
for women in the District Of Columbia
BY knocking out the New York mini
mum wage law in the Tipaldo case
Justice Butler was saying for the
court: "The state is without power
by any form Of legislation to prohibit,
change or nuliify contracts between
employers and adult women workers
as TO the amount Of wages to be paid. !"
Justice Sutherland was intoning for
the court: The relation Of employer
and employe is local relation At
common law il is one Of the domestic
relations. 6When YOU can spare the

lants, try TO imagine domestic rea-

SAFETY FIRST AND
COMFORT NEXT

IT ANYONE should ask Jerry Musk
rat how to build house the advice
he would give would be something like
this: Build it for safety first and
comfort next" There isn't one of the
little people of the Green Meadows
and the Green Forest but will say
that this is the best of good advice.
Even Peter Rabbit viii say so, though
as everybody knows he doesn't live
up to it. If safety means hard work
Peter will take chance with danger
every time. Even when his own com
fort is concerned Peter will avoid the
work if possible. Isn't it funny how

BRANDEIs WINS LONG FIGHT

Mr.. Justice Brandeis, some weeks
ago, saw his l6-year struggle for
common sense IN one big matter Of
taxation crowned with success. il

6 to 3, declared that a state, Okla
homa, could moi tax the profits Of oil
companies which operated % lands
leased from the United States Brand

IN 1882, the supreme court, by . vote
Of S to 4, declared that the United
States income tax could not be ap-
piled to the profits of oil companies
which leased lands from oklahoma
Justice Brandeis wrote one of the
strongest dissenting opinions that
even he ever penned; and justices
Stone, Roberts and Cardozo joined
him.
In March of this year, the matter
came up again; and this time Brand.
els was on the winning side. Chief
Justice Hughes wrote the decision, in
which he said:
