England after 1888, expecting a re-
ward from George III because of

it serves him right when the added
King sends him in a prison ship
to Botany Bay. But he gets his re-
ward here, in the shape of love-
Margaret Sullivan.

did Humphrey Bogart-when they
told me at Warmers that the roles
left vacant by Paul NUM- would go
to Humphrey (The Menace) Bogart.
fCan you see him as Beethoven?)
Gee, just think" Bogart tells me
at the studio, mo more slappings
from Jimmy Cagney!" But just to
get Bogart worked in gently. he will
make two gangster pictures before
going soft on us in "One Sunday
Afternoon" In his last, Bogart
plays a sweet, old dentist who re-
capitulates his past after putting
a millionaire, ex-childhood pal, un-
der ether. Ann Sheridan will be
the-girl-he- Loved. This story, by the
way, was first performed on the
stage by Lloyd Nolan, followed by
Gary Cooper In the 1888 movie
version.
High Sierra" which Bogart takes
over from NUM-, is described by him
as like the part I had in 'Petrifed

Michael Curtiz.

Most realistic attitude was that of
Nebraska's Sen. Edward r. Burke:
He favored the "long-range view
that taking down tariff walls would
eventually benefit all countries, but
declared agriculture in some states
is SO depressed it would require
at least a few years to get it back

chance for some old-fashioned log
