BOSTON PAPER
is BLACKLISTED
German Consulate Did Not
Like An Editorial Printed
By Boston Traveller

Boston, June tUP)-The Bos-
ton Traveller announced today that
the German consulate at Boston has
"blacklisted" the Traveller because
OF an editorial which "insulted" the
head Of nation entertaining diplo-
matte relations with the United
States.
The traveller released this letter
dated May 81 from Kurt Bohme
German consul here:
"The consulate has read the cdi-
torial Let Us Be Realistic pub
lished In your paper OF May %, In
which the head OF nation, with
whom the United States of America
entertains diplomatic relations, Is
insulted In such uncivilized express
sions, that this consulate In the fu.
ture must refuse to give your paper
any information In whatever mat
ter 1t may be-"
The German consulate confirmed
by telephone that the letter was
written by Bohme, but the spokes-
man who refused to give his name
refused to discuss the matter fur
thor.
I'VE are not going TO give any
more information on that" he said
I'VE are not Interested IN that story
at all. Excuse me now please, !

The Travellers first edition today
carried a page one story headed:

Then followed a copy OF the let
ter from Bohme and copy OF the
Editorial Consul Dislikes"

Traveller today read In part:

On the job with the set toilers:
"Mr. Oliver, take your hands ouI

Miss Carson, take shorter steps
Miss O'Sullivan, don't cross your

These were some final shouted
warnings of Director Robert z
Leonard before allowing the camera
to turn on reception sequence in
Pride and Prejudice" a gay period
movie now getting under way at
M-G-M. George Richelavie, eagle
eyed technical adviser, stood at
Leonard's elbow, scanning closely
every movement of the 20 or more
participants.
Modes and manners, Leonard ex-
planned, present the greatest prob
lem in filming period picture. The
men end women Jane Austen wrote
about in her romantic comedy were
prim and proper. Trying to gel
modern people to assume their dig
nified mannerisms is a lot tougher
than it would seem.
"The modern girl is athletically
inclined" Leonard said. "She is &C.
customed to crossing her legs if she
feels like it. She walks with free
and easy, boyish stride. But in 1925
the period of this business, no wom-
an would think of crossing her legs

was also considered poor taste for a
man to have his hands in his pock-

fan thought of his star as a glamor-
GUS figure, arising at noon, eating q
leisurely breakfast, perhaps drop
ping in at the studio sometime in
the afternoon for a sequence or two
then starting on dark-to-dawn

Things probably never were quite
as exciting as that, except in an
isolated instance or two. But out
Beverly Hills way, where goth Gen.

It's all the fault of the goth Gen.

Zanuck, and his assistants, who
have decreed that the actors must
be on the set, made up and ready
to work, at 8 am. Eight o'clock may
not seem like such a early hour

A grand old veteran, one of the

ever known, is back in the running
again. Her name is Marjorie Ram
beau. Illness and a court involve
ment combined to interrupt her
career over a five-year period, but
it seems now that a new Rambeau
dawn is breaking.
Miss Rambeau is found playing
her first scene with Wallace Beery
in Twenty Mule Team" Beery is
mule skinner and Miss Rambeau
is owner of the saloon where Wally

After driving a load of borax 162
miles across the desert, the COM
pletely dehydrated hero bursts into
the barroom in a pitiable state
only to discover he can't buy any
more beer on the cuff. BY giving a
heart-rending impersonation of a
man dying of thirst, Beery per-
suades the bartender to draw him
one beer. But just as he raises it
to his lips woman's hand comes
into the scene, grabs the glass out
of his fingers and the braWl Is
on-a brawl such as would have de-
lighted the heart of Marie Dressler
The scene is finished and Miss
Rambeau and Beery sit down at a
table to rehearse their next lines.

Beery.
Miss Rambeau shakes her head
negatively.

tells her. "It's the same barroom
