POLITICS TAKING ON
 FREAkNESS
Mickey Rooney, Spencer Tracy Brought Into
 Jersey Campaign
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, April 27. = MlcKey Rooney and Spencer Tracy have bobbed up in political race and here is why. {. Not long ago young Mickey was starred in a picture call- ed "Young Tom Edison, and shortly thereafter Spencer Tracy played the lead in another film that depicted the late great Thomas A. Edison as a mature man.
 Now forget about the movies for a moment. Harold G. Hoffman is campaigning for the governorshlp of N. J., Edison's state, and aiding him in the campaign is his 19-year- old daughter, Ada, who makes five and six speeches a night. The former governors opponent in this race will be Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison, who was recently on the Pacific observing fleet maneuy- CTS.
 In Trenton the other night, where she was speaking, Ada Hoffman was asked what she thought of the com- ing race Tt ought to be a lot of fun" she said, running against Mickey Rooney and Spencer Tracy this fall
 After 13,000 miles in trailer, which he has named Grand Hotel, because everything happens to that trailer, Hal Kemp is back in New York and not quite sure whether travelling by plane and train isn't.the best way after all On his trip he ran into nothing but sleet and rain. At Asheville, N O., he returned from dance to find his trailer in flames. Near Lula, Ga, 1t skidded on the roads and overturned Near Spartanburg, s. C., it was stalled for hours in a snowdrift . In Opel oisas, La, he woke with start to 1 find his hotel oh fire In Nash vile, thieves broke into the trailer and stole a set of the bands uni forms. At Johnson City, Tenn, Jack LeMaire his vocalist, lost his overcoat in a restaurant. and driving in fog near Indianapolis he ran through famer's picket fence. . Outside of this, not single thing happened, except that two Of his musicians got married on the l trip, two others became fathers, and he, himself, celebrated his first wed- ding anniversary.
 Leslie Howard has an interesting confession in a recent World Digest, and one that followers of this actors career will find hard to believe T am one of those unfortunate people to whom any kind of public appear ance is an embarrassment, he says. T always sympathize with those wretched children who are made to exhibit their talents at parties. myself never suffered thus as child, for the simple reason that was ut terly devoid of gifts; but from the moment when. offered accidently and accepted economically, I got my first job on the stage and sheepishly daubed my face with grease paint, l had an inner conviction that this was the most embarrassing occupa- tion in the world. This belief, far from being modified by experience, I find to be only intensified with the years I can conceive all women at all ages wanting to act, and I can conceive of men of an adoleScent age wanting to act, but the idea of mlddle-aged or elderly men getting any satisfaction out of painting their faces, putting on costumes and wigs and giving vent to their emo tlons in public is something I can net understand"

Tribute Paid
By Director

That Genius Taught
Him All He Knows,
Says Ruggles
HOLLYWOOD,

Wesley Ruggles paused in one Of
Hollywood's busiest and most sue
cessful producer director careers to
pay tribute to q man who more than
IS years ago taught him much Of
what he knews about motion pic
lures today.
The one to whom Ruggles dof1ed
his directors cap is Charles Chap
lin, with whom he was associated
beginning in 1914.
Occasion for the kudos was Rug
giles editorial trimming of TOO
Many Husbands" the romantic COM
edy with Jean Arthur, Fred Mac
Murray and Melvyn Douglas, which
he recently completed for Columbia
Pictures.
TITS when I start shipping footage
from a completed picture" Ruggles
declared, that recall what Chap
lin taught me about spacing and
timing. He has no peer in this de-
partment and what he taught me
years ago is still good as gold today.
II was little more than q kid
when Chaplin took me on as actor,
prop man, assistant director and in
q half-dozen other jobs. OF course
in those days, luckily, there was no
cut and dried assignments. say
luckily because It was through this
multiplicity Of duties, acting one day
and helping direct the next, that
those of us working with the little
genius were exposed to every detail
connected with the production Of q
motion picture. Naturally the ex-
perience proved invaluable"

Undoubtedly the foremost dia-
lectician in motion pictures these
days is the cherubic kewpie-eyed
Eddie Conrad. Certainly no pres

radio has played more foreign types
and spoken. more foreign languages
for the entertainment Of the public.
Although American born Of Amer.

mobile features and swarthy com.
plexion. coupled with years of con-
centration Of various nationanties,
makes natives Of the various coun-
tries ready to wager that he is .
true countryman.
He has played French, German,
Greek, Italian, Spanish, Mexican,
Hindu. Cockney Englishmen, Polish,
Japanese, Chinese and Filipino

But with all his variety of ex-
