CACNEY FILM BLENDS MUSIC
 WITH COMEDY
Something to Sing About Ends at Capitol
 Tonight

Quite different from the run-of- the-mill type of screen musical is Something to Sing About" the Victor Schertzinger production in which James Cagney is starring for Grand National, current at the Capital Theatre. Perhaps, the apt est description of this latest Gag ney picture would be "a comedy with music" for. primarily, it is an amusing and occasionally senti- mental tale, well told and well acted. The story of Something to Sing About" sets forth in humorous, but dramatic fashion, what happens to a Broadway big shot, when he is brought to Hollywood to be made into motion picture star.
 At the beginning of the story the hero is the leader of a famous dance band in a sumptuous New York night spot, and at the end he returns there again, richer and more famous than ever, but sur feited-not to say disgusted-with the life of picture star In the meantime he has been the storm center of situations which consti- ute a screamingly funny satire of the manner of Hollywood life and work, and the victim of high pres sure publicity methods, whi c h threaten to wreck his family life.
 Co-starring with Cagney. is twenty year-old Evelyn Daw, who is the featured singer with the stars swing band.

Counter Jumpers Could Not Event Hit - Burke
 Too Bafling

We still do not admit complete defeat, even though we were some what set back last evening at Ev- ergreen Bowl, when the Truck Driv- CTS nosed us out IT to O." the Grocery Clerks announced today We were just temporarily handicapped by not being able to see or hit the balls that Burke tossed scross.
 And the slants of Driver finger Art Burke were in truth bit too much for the Clerk clouters; the lat ter being unable to work more than one man as far as third base during the entire course of the nine in- nings.
 And that hit that put Leonard Holmquist on board the bases in the first inning proved far more costly to his mates than to their Driver opponents; as. sprinting nightly down to the first cushion, the hurl- ing mainstay of the Clerks came to halt with a pair of very choise char ley horses" With their star ring CT" disabled, the Clerks fell back upon Jimmy Ramsay to take core of the chucking chores, Ramsay chuck ed them over very much to the lik- ing of the driver hitters, and, af- flicted or not, Holmquist was forced to relieve him on the mound for the final three innings, in order to get the battle ore before tn deep of night.
 The Clerks are now shopping ar ound the city for a banquet hal, wherein they lay the board to toast the Driver victors.
 Lineups for last nights game were: Clerks-McGinni catcher Ramsay, pitcher; Williams. first base; Brown, second base; Judson third base; Martinson, shortstop; M Benedict, left field: Painter, center field; Whiteside, right field.
 Drivers-F. Behrends, catcher Burke, pitcher; Peterson, first base; Hildinger, second base; Sturrock short stop Whitely, third base; l. Benedict, left field; Berthol, center field; Anderson, right field.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 24.- Current recession is a headache to most people but it has meant break for a number of Hollywood lesser lights who have been thrust forward for economic reasons.
 The situation is this: movie mag mates, alarmed at decreasing box of flee returns, in several instances have substituted lower salaried play CTS in prominent roles which ordin- arily would have gone to first-rank but more expensive stars.
 Huge savings in salaries have en- abled studios to pare their budgets and comply with dictums of bankers financing filmdom. As a result there is a flood of new faces on the screen many of them appearing in major roles after only a brief apprentice ship. This has been a boon to new corners but hard on the old estab- lished headliners who in the past have commanded as high as $200,- 900 per picture.
 Those who have been riding or the crest for the past few years are finding things quite different when their contracts come up for renewal An example of this is Marlene Diet rich who was let out by Paramount because that studio didn't feel up to paying LaDietrich her $250,00C a year. There were rumors around that Marlene was washed up but she signed a contract just before leaving for a European vacation presumably at a considerably lower figure.
 Ne1U Faces Numerous
 Likewise, it has been tough on those who have been freelancing at an expensive figure. The majority of these high-salaried independents are finding assignments few and far between. An exception is Cary Grant whose services are much in demand.
 Marjorie Weaver is one of those skyrocketed to fame on wings of the recession. Only a short time ago she was comparative unknown but today is being built up as feat ured player. Arleen Whelan was a manicurist a few months back and was snatched from oblivion by Dar- ryl Zanuck to play the feminine lead in Kidnapped" with Warner Bax- ter.
 Harriet Hilliard, wife of Ozzie Nell son, band leader, and known to radio fans for her singing, was thrust into the feminine lead of "Cocoanut Grove" opposite Fred MacMurray. Another newcomer who hurdled the preliminary steps to stardom is Phyllis Welch, former Clevelandite, who was borrowed from stock school to play with liar old Lloyd in Professor Beware
 Others who have been catapulted to prominence as an indirect result of the recession include Olynpe Bradna, Sigrid Gurie, Rosemary Lane, Paulette Goddard, long known as one of the forgotten women" of Hollywood, Louise Platt and others.

BUSINESS GOOD
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Continues Forward Move. ment in Past Week-.Tex-
 tiles Slackened Up

Boston, Aug. 18-(UP)-Business activity in the New England district continued its forward movement in the past week, although recovery pace in textiles slackened, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, said today.
 Shoe manufacturers increased their output slightly. Many, oper- ating at capacity, were unable to accept orders for shipment earlier than October 1. With novelty shoes moving in satisfactory volume, re- tailers placed their orders little more freely.
 Packers advanced their prices on hides, and the market continued moderately active. Leather sales improved and prices turned firmer
 Building Increases
 As demand for building lumber increased, yards sought to reduce stocks which, in many instances, were fairly heavy. Quotations on building lumber moved up slightly Flooring and most grades of hard wood lumber also increased in price. Some expansion in building permits was noted, but this was not translated into increased activity in the building trades.
 The wool market was slow, but prices were well sustained. Wool goods buying continued conserva- tive, and the expected upturn in sales failed to materialize. New or- ders for wool tops were compara- lively few, but deliveries were made at fairly good rate on orders al- ready on hand. With production of mems clothing increasing slight ly, the trade looked for an improve ment in buying of piece goods be- fore long.
 Yarn Prices Firm
 Prices on Woolen and worsted yarns were firm, but quotations on cotton goods were depressed by government forecast of a bumper crop of raw cotton.
 Car loadings on the principal New England carriers in the week ended August 6 were down sharply from the Corresponding 1937 week, but the year-to-year decline narrowed. Electricity production in the week ended August B dipped 7.7 per cent below the 1897 period.
 Collections in many of the food product lines were slower and only fair. Wholesalers generally had some trouble in keeping up their collection records, but manufac- turers, as rule, reported payments fair to good Retail collections were slightly slower.
