Bosie's Swinq
At Howard

Classed as one of the top
flight band attractions of to-
day, Count Basic and his
rhythm men headline the How
ard stage this week with a
Saturday midnight show sched-
uled.
In this big-time swing revue
Americas newest torrid melody
sensation comes direct from a
record-breaking run at New
York'S famed Paramount The
ater, and solid-hit stay at the
Manhattan bright spot, "The
Famous Door" where Broad
wayites acclaimed him their
musical favorite.
Other star attractions in this
footlight jamboree are James
Rushing, titled $50 pounds of
bouncing rhythm; Helen Humes,
lovely mistress of MELODY; Moke
and Poke in Taps and Laffs.'
and the Broadway Bronze
Beauties.
Count Basic himself attained
fame as a piano virtuoso long
before he became a band
leader. He gets his best effects
with accented keyboard ar
rangementS.
Back in the days when he
was pianist and assistant con-
ductor to the mighty Bennie
Moten. his many Victor record
ings attracted attention both
in America and Europe. Hughes
Panassie, in his famous pub
lication, jazz Hot" declared
that Basic is not only one of
the most versatile pianists alive,
but that his swing is without
equal in the world today.

ROMANTIC FARCE

At least the program says they
ere the principals. So far as the
actual comedy goes, why, that
is shouldcred by a few old
trouperS who impart to the film
any occasional high lights it
may possess. Their names are
Irene Hervey Mona Barrie and
Willie Golfer. sr., and when
they get through there is very
little glory left for the two
principals.
Olympic IS the girl with the
French accent who pouts, rolls
her eyes and acts just the way
Director Andrew Stone tells
her French maids in American
households are supposed to act.
Ray MilIand is the son of the
rich to whose charms she sue
cumbs. Before that happens
there is something about a big
contract papa must land, some
difficulty over broken en-
gagement, and one or two
lovers quarrels to keep things
humming.
is WELL ACTED
Irene Hervey handles some
slapstick comedy and cloak-and-
suffers .lialog much better
than it deserves to be handled.
AS the female menace, she con-
tributes several moments Of
high hilarity.
Mona Barrie makes a master
piece out of a single scene, a
word duel over the teacups, anG
Willie ColIier. sr., is up to his
old tricks of topping laughs
with that wry delivery of his.
He's seen as a grumpy ship
builder.
Although Say 1t In French"
is labeled farce, and to be for
given much on that ground, the
picture vas ruined for us when
one of the characters drove from
uptown N. Y. to the Cunard Pier
in II minutes during the rush
hour. We refuse to believe that,
ever.
Bob Crosby brings his Bobcats
to headline the stage show and
they swing fast and often. Jit-
terbugs in the audience eat it
up and beg for more. Although
we like his theme song very
much, Gershwin's Summer
time" we're afraid we do not
comprehend most of this lin the
groove" business, so suffice to
say, the band does what it is
supposed to do-delight the jit-
terbugS.
BOB CROSBY SWING
Crosby'S vocalist, Marion
Mann, a ringer for Ruby Keeler,
sings three songs in a low, pleas
ant voice and sells them with a
pair of expressive eyes. Mar
tha," 1.-TWO Sleepy People" and
a splendid intoning Of "Get Out
of Town" comprised her roper
toire.
Bob Williams does a clever
turn with his dog Red Dust, and
Troy and Lynn top off a nicely
turned bill with some very grace
full ballroom dancing.
Don't miss Leon Enrol in a
short subject wherein he i'm
personates a British army Off

CIO Union Wins in Vote
Al Anaconda PLANT

ANSONIA, Conn. - (FP) 49, The
Init. Union of Mine Mill and Shelter
Workers (CIO) scored an important
victory in an NLRB election at the
copper sheet plant of the American
Brass Co., subsidiary of Anaconda
Copper. The count showed 1871
ballots for the IUMMSW, 465 for
the Init. Assn. of Machinists (AFL)
and $40 for no union.
The election followed an intensive
CLIO campaign utilizing newspapers
and the radio. Climax of the drive
was a mass rally in city hall, adj
dressed by Mayor Nolan, Pres. Hey
wood Broun of the American News
paper Guild (CIO) and Pres. Michael
]. Quill of the Transport Workers
Union (CIO).
Nolan set a precedent for this New
England town when he declared him
self in favor of full exercise of col
lective bargaining rights. He used
the occasion also to denounce the
action of Congress in cutting WPA
funds.
The Naugatuck river valley is the
brass %fabricating center of the U. S.
and the American Brass plant with
some $500 workers is a strategic
unit in the Anaconda empire. The
CLIO union already has a contract
with the American Brass at Water
bury to the north, and has organized
practically every other major con-
Germ in the valley.
The company preserved a hands
off policy during the contest between
the CLIO and AFL unions. The re-
quest for the election was made by
the lam, which did not claim a
majority in the plant.

resentative for the state of Montana,
that he did not state that he would
be at a meeting at Butte to express
an official and private announce
ment as to why Club No. l Of the

pended. MI. Nichols said that an
nouncement to the effect that he
would be present was published in
the Montana Labor News, but that
it was false. Mr.. Nichols, in a COM
munication to the Montana Labor
News also stated that the suspension
was not the responsibility of the
state office but a matter strictly be-
tween the national Townsend head
quarters and Club No. / of Butte.
Mr. Nichols also mentioned that
apparently Club No. l of the Town

Assurances have been received by
the Butte Miners Union from Tom
Mooney that he will be available to
talk at Columbia Gardens on Miners
Union Day, Tuesday, June IS, 1889.
Tom Mooney is undoubtedly the
most famous political character of
the 10th century, due principally to
his Imprisonment at San Quentin
.penitentiary on charges made against
him in connection with the death of
certain persons in the Preparedness
Day bomb explosion at San Fran
cisco on July %, 1916. Mr.. Mooney
was recently released from the peni-
tertiary by Governor Olsen of Cali
fornia. The unions and liberal in
dividuals throughout the United
States for the past 20 years had tried
to persuade the legislature and the
various governors of California to
free Tom Mooney and Warren K.
Billings, jointly charged with Mr..
Mooney of the crime. Mr.. Billings
is still in jail and the battle for his
liberation will still go on.
It is expected that the largest
crowd ever to attend Columbia Gar
dens since 1914 will be present to
hear Tom Mooney speak. Visitors
are expected from all surrounding
The cost of bringing Mr.. Mooney
will be considerable as he is sched-
uled to speak at Detroit on Sunday,
June II, and must fly to Butte to
be here by June 10. He also stipu-
lates that two persons must accom-
pany him. This will necessitate an
expenditure of $500 to $500. The
committee has figured out that it
will require at least $500 to bring
Mr.. Mooney to Butte.

ALL TRADE UNI0NISTS
INVITED TO ATTEND
TALK BY DR.. WEBER
METHODIST CHURCH

The following letter was ser. into
the Trades and Labor Council by
Bert A. Powell, pastor of the Grace
Methodist church, notifying them of
a speech to be delivered at the Grace
church on Friday, May 26.
DR.. Weber has a national reputa-
ton, not only as a fluent speaker,
but also for his deep sympathy with
the problems and trials of the work
ing people.
Butte, Montana, May 9, 1888.
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, Tommy Kennedy, Sec.
Butte, Montana.
Gentlemen:
On May 26, 8 p. m, DR.. Charles c..
Webber will be in Butte and speak
in the Grace Methodist church, Ari-
IONA and Second SITS. AS pastor of
the Grace Methodist church, I would
like to invite you, your several
unions, members and friends to hear
DR.. Weber.
DR.. Weber is one of Americas
outstanding leaders for justice and
fairness in our social, economic and
industrial life. He is n of three
executive secretaries of the Metho-
dist Federation for Social Service.
This federation is san organization
which rejects the method Of struggle
for profit as the economic base for
society; which seeks to replace it
with social-economic planning in
order to develop a society without
class distinctions and privileges"
DR.. Weber is associated in this
federation with such men as DR..
Harry F. Ward, and Bishop Francis
]. Mcconnell. Bishop Mcconnell
was chairman of the committee that
years ago, by its investigation, put
the steel industry on the spot, ter
minating a strike which gave the
laborers the eight-hour day for the
first time in that industry.
You will not be disappointed if
you hear DR.. Weber, but you will
be disappointed if you do not hear
him.
Yours truly,
Bert A. Powell, pastor Grace
Methodist Church.
