HOLLYWOOD,

Republicans and Democrats have
selected their candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President of these
United States-and haven't given
Hollywood look-in!
Certainly. reason the citizens of
this make-believe village of tiilsel
and glamour, motion picture screens
have been interpreting political life
long enough and with a sufficient
amount of conviction to be permitted
active participation in the Govern
ment's operation No answer from
the Democrats or Republicans.
Well then. they say out here, how
about a Hollywood third party-an
all-celluloid ticket. so to speak!
Based on real and reel life per-
formances, several of movieland's
leading facemakers might be ex-
pected to cut some fancy acrobatics
if their names got on the ballot
and glamour blinded voters hap
pened to ease them into office
If we must have an all-movie
ticket, let's see from recent screen
reports what we can bring to bear
on the issue:
Almost a Clincher.
For President, Lewis Stone might
be as well-equipped for the role-or
rather the job-as any. The g.
year-old Judge Hardy of the IA
nous family series, has carved a
warm spot for himself in the hearts
of millions of fans through his out
standing deeds on the bench at
mythical Carvel. Stone has proved
himself sane, shrewd. dignified and
humane in his judgments, and cer-
tainly he knows how to run trou-
blesome family. He also has DEM
onstrated in many legal clash that
big city slickers can't outsmart him.
Almost clincher for Stones can
didacy is his recent widely applauded
enactment of the President in Joe
and Ethel Turp Call on the Presi-
dent"

The satirical ballroom dancers,
Paul and Grace Hartman, are the
newest recruits in this metamor-
phosis trend with their summer
theater version of Noel Coward's S
Tonight at $50" Thus they fol-
low an imposing line of present-day
dramatic stars who graduated either
from night club floor show revues or
from musical comedy stages.
Mary Ellis, brunette and luscious,
began her stage career singing in
the Metropolitan Opera, "Suor An
gelica," and then she was the orig
inal Rose Marie in the musical of
that name. From those lyrical be-
ginnings she stepped into serious
Ibsen and Shakespearean roles that
carried her to a triumph as the
starring Nina Leeds in the London
production of Eugene O'Neill's
Strange Interlude."
After singing in dozens of Broad
way musical comedies, Peggy Wood
moved over to an imposing line OF
Shakespearean performances which
were climaxed by her Portia oppo-
site George Arliss in "The Merchant
of Venice" Then she returned to
the musical stage in Noel Coward's
operetta, "Bittersweet," and since
has divided her performances fairly
evenly between serious drama and
song -and-dance interludes with an
occasional movie role or the au-
thorship of a new book or play
tossed in, apparently, as a work
to shine each idle moment.

How About Hollywood Third Party?
Some Well.Equipped O6cehoders Might
Be Recruited From the Ranks of the Film Stars

Kibbee would be splendid vote
getting timber in rounding out the
celluloid party ticket as Vice Presi-
dent. Both have winning personali-
ties, know how to rub elbows with
all types of people and have proved
their proves as officeholders in
dozens of screen dramas. Kibbee
might get the edge because of his
Texas birthplace (no Slight advan-
tage to any politician: and not to
be overlooked is his reputation as
Hollywoods foremost fisherman.
Assuming that this celluloid
ticket wins, we should give serious
thought to a good, serviceable cabi-
net to be made up of Hollywoodians
whose mettle has been tested in
posts of corresponding requirements.
Let's look over the field again and
see what we can turn up.
For Secretary of State, Frank
Morgan, oldest of the Morgan BROTH
ers, might fit in as we'll as any pros
pect on the horizon at this moment.
Frank is president of the Screen
Actors Guild and, in organizing that
group and fighting it's bitter battles
with the producers to a successful
conclusion, has displayed diplomacy
finesse and executive ability second
to none.
A Finance Expert.
For Secretary of War. Pat O'Brier
could be expected to go to town in
a fighting way He's fought in more
Hollywood war movies-topped by
The Fighting 69th''-than any other
actor. From the make-believe
standpoint, at least, Pat knows what
it's all about.
For Secretary of the Navy. Dick
Powell should win hands down. He
has participated in nine service fea-
lures, mostly of naval nature, and
in one was decorated by the ad-
miral. In addition to his unques-
toned experience, it would be a real
novelty to have singing Secretary
of the Navy.

Ever since Mr. Wayne made FEM

In his 10 years of picture-making
Wayne has ridden horses, toted guns

EMPLOYMENT PLACEMENT

The outstanding achievement re-
vealed by the January activity re-
port of the Nebraska State Employ
ment Service was the fact that 60
percent more applicants were plac-
ed in private industry than during
the same month a year ago. These
placements totalled 1927 of which
482 were of permanent nature; az
of the private placements were of
applicants having veteran status.
Public placements, because of the
closing down of practically all hy-
dro-work and other PWA projects
due to the extreme cold, reached a
total of only 420. OF this number
however, only Psi were secured
through the NSES because this
process was required by regulation
The remaining 169 were public
placements secured through solie-
itation on the part of employment
service personnel.
New applications likewise were
much lower than a year ago, the
total number of 1858 being 30 per-
cent less than in January 1899.

by Robert L. Moody
Famous Men,

Famous Men
We often repeat that February
is the month in which many fam
Gus men were born. This has been
true regardless of race and color.
Abraham Lincoln, George Wash
ington, and Frederick Douglass,
wer born in February. Others
yer Thomas Edison and Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow.
The lives and examples of these
men remain a memorable challenge
to Americans of today. May we
honestly and humbly do our part to
make America better as they did
Mississippi Law
WI wonder how Honorable B. K.
Bruce and II. r. Revels would feel
if they knew of the recent acts of
the Mississippi congress. An act
has passed both houses ready for
the governors signature, that pro-
vides for separate textbooks for
Negro and white students. The
cost would be one-third of what
white children's would cost. We
quote M. f. Morehead, Asst Supt.
of Kinds County: "This System
could provide the Negro with a set
of text books best suited to the
level of his intelligence for one
third of what it costs for the white
child"
We hope that our brethren will
wake up and exercise their rights
to vote since they are a majority.
May they take courage and do as
the Florida Negroes did last year.
The time will then come that such
~disgraceful measures will be re-
yoked and others will be nipped in
the bud.

and beer distributors are engaged
in active cooperation with law en-
forcement officials to assure the
maintenance OF orderly, lawful con.
ditions wherever beer is sold.

proved so successful in eliminating
anti-social conditions where they
were associated with the sale of
beer that 1t was adopted last year
In Alabama, Kansas, Maine, Ten
nessee, North Carolina. Mississippi.
Oklahoma and West Virginia.
The movement is being sponsored
by the United Brewers Industrial
Foundation, representing brewers in
all sections of the country. 1t is de-
signed to protect an industry which
contributes a million dollars a day
in taxes. utilities the products of
three million acres OF farm land an

irresponsible actions of a small
number of law-violating dealers.

The secret of the remarkable
success of Nine. c. j. Walkers

they were blended by the late
Madam c. j. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the

Withstanding the fact that the

reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every

Nine. c. J. Walkers Glossine.
although more than thirty-fve
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.

If so, here's good newsl These
