Moving With Caution.
One thing is very clear: The adj
ministration is moving with extreme
caution in presenting its program to
the legislature. A wage-hour law con-
forming with federal statutes was ex-
rected early in the session. 1t hasn't
been offered yet. The department of
justice bill, which will meet some OPP
position from the anti-centralization
group, has not BEEN written, though a
great deal of thought has been given
it. The election law reform bill eni-

known to be highly controversial from

Giovanni, a pickpocket. which was :
much more amusing. A pickpocket
with virtuosity and high moral
standards, chap who works singly
within the law and to the entertain
ment of every one, is something to
see. So we went to see Giovanni.
That, however, is getting ahead of
our story, for first Giovanni came to
call on us. Unlike the average magi-
clan, which is another though duller
and less descriptive name for the
act, Giovanni will play any one on
his home ground. When he had
won from the drama department by
a score of one wrist watch, one bill
fold and miscellaneous other trim
kets to nothing, City Editor Bill Hill
was called in to play two chukkers.
Giovanni won again by the same
score. 1t was nothing, though, as
compared with the loss of suspend
ers and equally embarrassing articles
by the Mayf1oWer fascinated Gus
toners later.
A short, stocky gent, who is an
English citizen for all his Italian
name, Giovanni physically would not
be your conception of pickpocket
even if you had conception of a
pickpocket. (This department found
itself entirely out of conceptions of
pickpockets when it got to thinking
about it,

man with extraordinarily dextrous
fingers. The fingers are the inno-
cent tools of a mind (also innocent)
which puts your mind at a disad-
vantage. Don't think that the mere
fact he works in night clubs where a
wilful, determined person might
work up an alcoholic befuddlement
is a factor in Giovanni's art. He
would work just as well and just as
happily at church picnic or pro-
hibition party convention.
interviewing a pickpocket, even a
tame one like Giovanni, has its mo-
ments when delicacy seems about
to stretch to the breaking point.
One of the most furiously impelling
questions is how did you break into
the game?" 1t turns out that Clio
vanni broke into it as a result of
an interest in magic. He wanted
to be different, so instead of work.
ing at some distance from his audi
ence, he started working with it in
his lap, so to speak. That little
trick made him famous. He has
fascinated not merely night club
audiences but all the worlds great
specialists in the art of apprehend-
ing pickpockets, men with whom he
works as a highly valuable instruc-
tor upon occasion.
Another moment in an interview
with Giovanni when one feels like
the idiot son is when one asks how
a given trick is done.
Giovanni handles that one with

impressive tact, taking refuge in the
bomb-proof shelter of all magicians
that such tricks never are given
away.
1t is a considerable distinction in
the variety field to be a pickpocket
working legally in the night club
field. Only one night, last, could
Giovanni give to the Mayt1ower. He
is booked solid for the rest of the
season. That makes him the most
successful man in his business. At
the same time he and the law are

HOLLYWOOD.


Hollywood's chorus girls have just
passed through the ice age. They
are taking of their flannels and
trimmed boots and parking
their parkas In favor Of dainty
dancing shoes.
The new and freer order is pre-
saged by Zorina and two Balanchine
ballets in Warner Bros "On Your
Toes" The emergence from the
latest ice age Is quite welcome in
Hollywood, moreover.
The frigid era, speaking from the
standpoint of the Hollywood chorus
girl, began with Sonia Henie and
her silver skates. Before Sonia came
to town, Busby Berkeley was king,
and girls danced on everything from
waterfalls to rocket ships. They
never knew from day to day when
they might be called upon to fly
through the air on the blades of a
gargantuan Dutch windmill, or slide
down the sides of a papier mache
Matterhorn. Came Sonia with her
ice rinks and they all went on a
skate.

"And that's just the way IL should
De," declares the blue-eyed, brown
haired Zorina. Down through the
ages the dance has been one of the
most beautiful forms of artistic ex-
preston. One of the most delightful
features of the dance has been the
flash of woman's legs, the curve
and sweep of her body. I am posi-

 Report Out Favorably
 Hartford, Conn, Feb. 13.-CUP) - The judiciary committee was ex- pected this week to report out ia vorably Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin's dual jobholding bill, possibly with an amendment postponing effective ness until the 1e4l Legislature.
 The cities and boroughs commit tee, 1t was expected, may come to a vote this week on the controversial Bridgeport board of education bills sponsored by Socialist Mayor Jasper McLevy.
 The assembly, which started off speedily, has slowed up consider ably until now sessions last less than 10 or 15 minutes daily. Blame was placed on slowness of committees in reporting out bills. pressure was ex- pected to be put on this week to hurry them up.

 Claire added the step would mark "the first real wedge in opening up the motorists tax fund to any gen. eral state expenditure"
 Those of you who pride yourself in rural road development and be- lieve that special taxes upon the motorists should not be used for gen. eral state expense, should express your opposition to this proposal ' Claire said.
