personality who says she woke up
one morning, about five years ago,
with her mind fully made up to 60
on the stage. Up to that time she
had been studying art. Her voice
was too high, director told her,
and suggested she lower it
II spent three months working on

was as simple as all that. She
played assorted roles at the Gate,

NEW YORK.

NEW 1Okth.
~ the Associated Press.
The star system, as it used to be,
rarely exists on Broadway today.
Stardom, in the back-stage world,
means that player Is important
enough that his name will be fea-
tured above all advertising or other
exploitation Of the play.
Take the Broadway playbiI of
today, and Judge how the names
are featured. Raymond Massey is
starred in ABE Lincoln of Illinois" 4"
but the fact that brought stardom
there was that the play proved so
sensational 1t brought star quality
to the leading character.
Judith Anderson Is starred in
Family Portrait" which is right
fully so because she has been starred
in SO many dramas in the past 10
years and she is doubly so in this
picture Of the mother Of Jesus.
In the ''Hot Mikado" Bill Rob-
inson is merely featured, but here
is performer who should be starred
both now and in the dozens of mu-
steals he has appeared in in the
past years.
Nancy Carroll is starred in II
Must Love Someone" but the catch
is that while Miss Carroll has been
starred in the movies she hasn't
been on the stage. That billing is
in striking contrast to THE Phila-
delphia Story" in which Katharine
Hepburn is merely featured in small
type, just as Sylvia Sidney and
Franchot Tone are billed the same
way in "The Gentle People" despite
the fact that all three are starred
In movies.
You can Jump to the established
hit of six years, Tobacco Road"
and find Eddie Carr starred in that
extravaganza. Carr is vaudeville
performer who has succeeded the
half dozen different actors who have
been Jeeter Lester, none stars but
now Carr Is billed as that.
Stardom really is nebulous quail
ity on Broadway, and probably on
any other theatrical street. 1t is
odd the way actors and actresses
want their names featured. For in
stance, George M. Cohan or Katha-
rine Cornell can display their names
in the most insignificant type. with
the exception that Miss Cornell does
insist that her Katharine be spelled
with an "a" but their names are
sure signs of stardom to their au-
diences.
Then one is confronted with q
stardom billing of Godfrey Tearle
and Margaret Rawlings in Mr.
Tearle's London production" OF
THE Flashing Stream" The au-
dience here knows neither Mr.

Stardom Now Rarely Exists
On the Broadway Stage

Tearle nor Miss Rawlings, with only
the latter being excellent, and the
critics cared very little for Mr..
Tearle's production and even less
for the play.
One comforting thought is that
whatever the merits of various
players In dramas and their re-
spective ranks as players, there Is
a change in that authors are at
at last being given billing with stars,
producers and scenic designers.
There was a time when Eugene
ONeill, w. Somerset Maughan,
Philip Barry, Clare Boothe, Robert
E. Sherwood, Elmer Rice and other
writer's would not be advertised as
authors of their many hit plays.
Today 1t is being recognized that
authors are as important if not as
beautiful as stars. Miss Boothe is
also beautiful.

next picture IS with Dancer Eleanor
Powell. Whether the new combina-
ton will be successful remains to
be seen. Personally I like my Fred
with Ginger-although I don't like
some of the scripts they try to
dance to the winning post.
Norma Shearer has had more than
her share of mistcasting recently,
but I think she is absolutely right
for the gentle Mary Haines in "The
Women" although, as I stated in
this column recently, think Joan
Crawford is wrong for the "other
woman"
Talking about Joan, isn't it high
time she was cast as something
other than the-girl-who-was-b born
Observation-Disclosures? Yes. this
happens to her again in THE Wom-
en-" How can we believe in the
poor-girl part of Joan's movies when
we know she has earned millions
during her 10 years of front-rank
stardom?
An example OF consistently good
casting is Deanna Durbin and her
four pictures-all of them success
full. Deanna's bosses have studied
her form more carefully than if
she were a race horse. Her roles
synchronize with her real-life age
chart. At 16 she portrays a girl Of
l6. At 81 she will be a grownup
young lady in her pictures.
Which reminds me, will they ever
stop casting Warner Baxter as the
young lover in his pictures? War
ner-and he is the first to admit it
is we'll into his middle 4Os. So is
Ronald Colman, for that matter, but
Ronnie is the romantic type and
can 60 on playing lover parts for
another couple of years until he is
so. Then he must stop. Warner

BANKER REPLIES MINE CRITICS

A Chicago banker who had been criticized because of certain mining investments he had made, in replying to the criticism, Is quoted as saying:
 Mines will be producing mill lions of gold, silver, and copper in that future day when national banks are unknown. A mine con tains crop already raised, har- vested and on deposit for you to check against at your pleasure.
 Mining has made the United States the richest country in the world. Mining is an industry as necessary to the welfare of the community as the raising of crops. Show me a country with out mines and l will show you a people in degradation and pow erty.
 Mining is the second industry in the United States. Mining has transformed more poor men into millionaires and raised them to positions of honor and trust than any other business.
 Mining has scored Hess than 35% failures against 959o of fail ures shown in general merchan- dising business in the United States.
 Without the products of the mines you would have neither a frying pan, spoon, pin or a monetary circulation medium. Eliminate the mines and you set civilization back to the dark ages.
 Outside of the element of great personal profit which will accrue to us as bankers who are able to supply the money to open great mines, it behooves us to foster an industry upon which the prosperity of not alone our depositors, but the entire nation, exists"

Canned Salmon Industry Issues Statement

Seattle, April 4 - The labor committee of the Canned Salmon Industry issued the following statement today. The statement is signed by A. I. Ellsworth, chair man of the committee.
 The Canned Salmon Industry for the past several years has negotiated with Unions represent ing the thousands of workers in this industry. The industry this year is again negotiating with the same union with whom it dealt last year.
 Ut is of course apparent that regardless of any agreement be- tween the packers and the unions with whom they are now nego- tiating, it will be impossible for the industry to operate unless labor can speedily settle the dis pute within it's own ranks and dispose of the jurisdictional con- f1ict that is now preventing the loading of supplies and the dis patching of cannery boats and steamers for Alaska
 "The industry desires to make it clear that the packers who in- tend to operate in Alaska this year have offered agreements rel ative to wages, hours and condi tions of work on the same basis as finally prevailed in 1888 out of Puget Sound ports.
 "In the light of present and prospective prices for canned sal
The Nome nugget., 1939-04-24

mon, such conditions and wages place burden on the industry that makes profitable operation decidedly questionable. The in- dustry's offer can be adhered to only if it will result in agree ments being speedily signed with all the unions with whom the packers deal. It is obvious that unless an accord can be reached with all of the groups involved it would be futile to expend large amounts preparing for a season pack with no assurance of being able to operate.
 The packers feel that in sub mittng this offer they are tend ering the very best proposition that they can possibly make. They have gone so far only be- cause of their feeling of respon- sibility to the Territory and peo- pie of Alaska; the people of Pu- get Sound and adjacent territory and to the thousands of individ- uals and businesses who directly or indirectly are dependent upon the continued operation of the salmon canning industry in AL aska.

say at the present time. Senator
Wheeler of Montana and Senator
Truman of Missouri have a bill
which they call the key bilP' on
which all future bills will be based.
Senate Wheeler has another bill
which would create a special rail-
road reorganization court designed
to make reorganizations easier,
quicker and more enduring. A
similar bill has been reported in
the House by Representative
Chandler of Tennessee. The other
two bills are those sponsored by
representative Lea of California.
One would, like the Wheeler bill,
carry out the Presidents recon-
mendations, but differs in several
other respects; the second Lea bill
would permit ICC to fix minimum
rates for all types of carriers and
would redistribute the functions of
the ICC. Both Lea bills contain
the reorganization court idea
which is believed to have the best
chance for passage at this session.

DO WONDERFUL WORK

PEKING, CLIMATIC Christian
missionary in China, sticking to his
post despite shelling from air and
land, succoring wounded soldier and
fear-racked civilian refugees, has
received fitting recognition from
Chinese and Japanese leaders alike.
No less than 20 American and
British Protestant missionaries and
Catholic fathers of many European
nations. have gone to their deaths
at their outlying stations. Neverthe-
less, hundreds more men and wom-
en- carry on.
Aiding these foreigners in nine of
the war stricken provinces are some
260,00 Chinese Christians, accord
ing to the National Christian Coun-
ell of China.
American and European women
came in for particular praise at the
lips of Madame Chang Kai-shek.
who said:
II wish to express on behalf Of the
women of China an abiding appre-
citation of the splendid services
which have been rendered to our
people by those women of Amer
lea and Europe who threw in their
lot with US in our country"
From the Japanese military
spokesman in Peking, Lieut.. Col.
Janzo Hiraoka, comes equal praise
of the foreign Christians in the war
zones.
II have always held foreign mis-
sionaries, especially women, in high
respect, working as they do for pub
lie welfare. My respect for them
was renewed when I followed our
troops into Kaifeng.
There l learned how they put up
mat sheds in the Kaifeng railway
yards. Foreign missionaries attend
ed wounded Chinese soldiers. Day
and night they worked hard, chang
ing soiled bandages for no less than
10000 wounded Chinese" said Col

MINNEAPOLIS start
economizing much sooner than their
wives when economic conditions
turn downward; sliding off in
sales in mems wear departments
was the first Indication many de-
partment stores had that all was
not well in the summer of 1887.
Men are still buying less for them
selves than this time a year ago.
though the spread is narrower than
in the first six months; several 9TH
er lines of prosperity goods" have
also climbed closer to 1887 sales
volumes, according to third-quar-
ter study of luxury and semi-luxury
sales at 236 department stores,
made by Northwestern National
Life Insurance company.
Pianos, whose phenomenal four
year comeback was checked dur
ing the winter of 1878, again show
an actual increase in sales for the
third quarter of 1893. running "a
per cent above the corresponding
period of 1887. in the department
stores studied.
Fashion can successfully resist a
depression. the survey states, point
ing to the fact that department store
sales of jewelry registered only
slight declines during the 1878 re-
cession, in the third quarter were
within 3.3 per cent of the corre-
spending period of 1887. and are now
running practically even with last
year. Style dictates which made
jewelry an essential accessory of
women's dress have been mainly re-
sponsible for the maintenance of
public buying of such items, the
study states.
Home furniture and electric
household appliances both improved
their showing in the third quarter.
Furs. sporting goods and luggage
maintained or increased the mar
gins by which they are trailing their
1897 sales volumes, the report
shows.
Inventories of eight out of the
nine lines covered by the study have
been reduced, and smaller stocks
remain on hand than last autumn.
The sole exception is pianos: in
creased public interest and new de-
signs have resulted in a modest in
crease in stores piano stocks, the
study shows.
