sPINOCCHIO" IS FEATURED
ON CAROLINA PROGRAM

"Pinocchio," Walt Disney's long
awaited successor to the sensation
ally successful 'Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs," is his own
challenge to his first feature-length
production. Where Snow W t.
and the Seven Dwarfs" amazed
with it's beauty, fantasy and charm
'Pinocchio" startles and excites
with the tremendous scope of it's
ingenuity and the force of it's story
along with enchanting whimsy.
"Pinocchio" is more significant
than a fairy tale. In it's story of
the puppet who is given life with
out a conscience there is more
than meets the eye-a moral for
those who want one But with or
without the lessons it offers, "Pi-
nocchio'' is an imaginative story
migrating the real with the fan
%tastic, casting human characters
with animals that speak. Lest the
story be mistaken for truth, there
is a Blue Fairy, for Disney's fan
tasy has the faculty of expressing
life as you wish it were One is
liable to forget such beauty exists
only in the realm of imagination.
An exceptionally fine program
of short subjects is being shown
with the feature. 1t includes a
sport classic, a new issue of the
Passing Parade series and as U.s.
ual, the latest News of the Day.

"GHOST VALLEY RAIDERS"
FEATURED AT THE BIJOU

When Miss Launa Anderson of
Nashville became Miss Iona An
DIRE of Hollywood, a brand new
glamour girl was born.
The ut Girl" personified b y
Clara Bow, was passe, and the
"Oomph Girl" made famous by
Ann Sheridan, hadn't as yet made
her bow.
Iona Andre has just enough of
the old time cit" and the new
tangled Comp" to retain the ad-
miration of the oldsters and win
the alteration of the Youngsters.
Her current starring vehicle is
Republics "Ghost Valley Raid
ers," opening today at the Bijou
Theatre, with Donald Barry in the
lead. Barry, who was selected
from a field of five hundred as
plrants for the lead in Republics
new western star series, brings
the Jimmy Cagney type of appeal
to the western screen, and Miss
Andre is regarded as ar d
choice for his leading lady.
The program also includes the
current chapter of "Overland With
Kit Carson" and a cartoon.

'BLACK FRIDAY" MARKS
ROYAL THEATRE BILL

That rarest of ali screen COM
modities, a new formula for max
ing movies, is credited to Arthur
Lubin, young Universal director.
Lubin's formula is to make a
horror picture without being hor-
rid, and he has achieved it in
"Black Friday" the new B o i S
Karloff-Bela Lugosi thriller now at
the Royal theatre.
Abandon Makeup
First step in the process was to
present Karloff and Lugosi as
themselves" that is, without the
weird makeup effects they have
used in previous horror films.
Lubin did this through his story,
a screenplay by Kurt Siodmak
and Eric Taylor, which depends
on dramatic situations for it's hor-
ror rather than on shadowy light
ing, sliding panels, hunchbacks,
heavy makeup and low-key
organ music.
Chas. Chase in South of the Bou-
doir, Chap No. 3 of ''The Shadow,

Unions Ask Gov. to
Tell Where Labor
Shortage Exists

HARTFORD, Conn. - (FP) - Gov.
Raymond E. Baldwin's much touted
business recovery" program in Con-
necticut is being much hooted by la
Dor and WPA officials.
The republican governors recent
statement that there was an acute
shortage of skilled labor was vigor-
ously denied by Rudolph Tata Of
Waterbury, organizer of the Init Bro.
OF Transfers Chauffeurs Stablemen
& Helpers (AFL).
"If the chief executive will send me
the names of the industrialists who
need skilled labor, I'll furnish them
with all they want" Tata said. He
pointed out that scores of skilled ma
chinists, toolmakers, diemakers and
other journeymen had turned to
truck driving because they could not
find jobs elsewhere.
John ]. Egan, secretary of the Con-
necticut State Federation of Labor,
and Joseph M. Tone, former state
labor commissioner, also ridiculed the
ballyhoo being released by the State
Development Commission.

INJUNCTION DENIED
TO EMPLOYER WHO
WOULDN'T BARGAIN

NEW YORK.-(FP)-A union may

Pecora refused to enjoin the Knit

hour administration to pay a total of
$250,000 back wages to 10000 home
workers.
1.-THE rule is fundamental that

dreds of men in New Castle doing the
same as he was. 81 don't know what
Mr.. Hooks intentions are and | don't
know where the mills are at" he said
| Murray later declared that even if
the 40 plants in which the 375 hand
mills are still operating were located
where displaced workers could find
them, the chances of jobs would still
be pretty slim owing to the impossi-
bility of competition between the hand
mills and the strip mills.
Figures were cited to show the ire
mendous labor displacement of the
automatic strip mills.
About 126 men in strip mills can
produce the same tonnage as 4,512
men in hand mills, a $40 reduction
in man-hours, Murray told the COM
mittee. Already 38,470 men have
been disconnected from the steel in
dustry.
In Massillon, o., on March 30, 1910,
500 workers in Republics sheet mill
were told their services would no
longer be required. In Niles $50
workers were on the streets, out of
jobs, as the result of discontinuance
of the mill on March %.
Within five or six weeks another
500 to 600 men will receive the same
notice.
Property becomes next to worth
less, business drops to a fraction of
previous levels, families are kept in
existence by WPA and relief, the So
shreds and the only means of making
a livelihood is taken away from work
ers, many of whom have never known
any other way of earning a living"
Murray said.
"The financial cost of strip mill
is Is 20 or 40 million dollars. But
the social cost of this automatic mN
is far greater in terms of human mis-
cry, personal tragedy, and wrecked |
mankind"
Industry, Murray said, can assume
the social responsibility for techno-
logical improvements through collec-
tive bargaining along the following
lines:
1. Workers displaced should be abb
sorbed in the regular labor turnover
of the companies installing the i'm
g. Workers displaced should be
given six months notice and until they
are finally fired should be given OPP
