probably the most troublesome one
most fraught with perturbation
and potential dangers-in the long
record of our experience in foreign
motion picture markets. This, of
course, was due to one overshadow-
ing and portentous event, the out
break of war in Europe in Sep
tember, adding many difficult prob
lens and perplexing burdens to
those that already existed and
that seem to remain fairly con-
slant in our foreign operations"
Oh, to be on the West Coast
where EurQpe's flames are just
sabotage Of the checkbook, is what
we brood when things like this turn
up. It probably is none of our
business anyway, but we wish some
of the producers would think of
the war some time as something
other than a European plot to ruin
our film business abroad. We even
wish they would go see some of
their own news reels-those shots

length of time.
Among stars of a decade are Car

Finally, we even got around to
Will Hays annual announcement
that the cinema is a fine thing
and should be very proud of itself
In his moment of looking back and
looking ahead, Mr.. Hays is just as
cheerful as usual for the most part,
seeing those good old 10000, 900 Gus
toners weekly and finding that
many notable film have been made
since he last reported for the Mo-
ton Picture Producers and Dis
tributors of America, Inc. Mr.. Hays
is quite right about this, and If he
wants to put such things as "The
Wizard of o." Young Mr.. Lin
coin" and the Light That Failed"
on the same list with "Good-by,
Mr.. Chips" Grapes Of Wrath" :"
Gone With the Wind" "Abe Lin
coin in Illinois," "Dr. Ehrlich's
Magic Bullet" and ''Pinocchio," why
even that is all right with us.
But part of Mr.. Hays report set
us to brooding mildly, as almost
any official report will do. This
one got us because the same day
Mr.. Nathan D. Golden Of the De-
partment of Commerce sent around
his Review of Foreign Film Mar

around to our brooding point after
inspecting cheerfully the progress

worthy record, he says, because 1t
was achieved under the most diff
f1cult conditions. "The shock OF

Shortest lived star on Hollywood's s
charts is Jane Bryan. Two weeks
after Miss Bryan was ofilcially ele-
waited to stardom by the Warner
brothers she completely crossed
up her employers by marrying and
retiring from the screen.
These and other "star life expect
ancy" figures came to light last
week when Paramount's research
department completed a survey
which will be used as background
for kaleidoscope story. tracing the
development OF the film industry
from its earliest days.
Screen stars today have a greater

statistics show. than at any time
since the industry began.
Eight years was the average
duration of stars heyday before
movies began to talk.
Today the probable career expect
ancy of a player achieving top bill
ing is computed by studio actuaries
as 10.7 years.
And they say the average is still
going up-an encouraging note for
talented boys and girls who have
been rightfully stunning Hollywood
because of its unstable means of
earning livelihood

IN VIEW of the obvious and
appreciated efforts of Ma
yor Langlie in the last two
years to improve the eo-opera-
tive relations between Tacoma
and Seattle, it is unfortunate
that the Satko family affair
has been presented to the
public here as another Seattle
attempt to embarrass Tacoma.
Such is not the case. as Sc
attic city leaders have taken
the trouble to point out.
The Seattle police merely
acted in conformity with a
court restraining order, issued
on application of a private
citizen - namely, Capt. Fox,
executive secretary of the
Masters, Mates & Pilots
union. He assumed he had
good grounds, and the courts
apparently agreed that he did.
People of Seattle and their
officials, from Mayor Langlie
down, had nothing to do with
subsequent interference with
the plans of Mr.. Satko.

determination of minimum wages
for steel firms supplying govern

The court agreed to pass on the
validity of an antitrust indict-
ment against William L. Hutche-

intended by the government as a
test of whether jurisdictional dis
putes between labor unions are
illegal restraints of trade.

Two witnesses testified In Seat
tie juvenile court Monday that the
homemade Ark Of Juneau" In
which a family of nine hoped 10
sail TO Alaska. was unsanitary
and fire trap that ought not be
allowed in the Seattle harbor.
Juvenile Judge Willim G. Long,
heard the testimony which will
determine whether Paul Satko. 40,
unemployed Richmind. Va, welder
who built the 40-foot boat of odds
and ends and an old automobile
motor. can regain custody Of six
of his seven children and take
them to a new life in Alaska.
A. J. Butler. Seattle city
health depanment Inspector,
testified living conditions
aboard the Ark were Every
poor"
Capt. John Reid, Seattle fire in
spector, said the boat was one Of
the most dangerous fire hazards
he had ever seen and that ii should
not even be permitted to stay in
the harbor.
They have two 100-gallon tanks
of gasoline for the motor that are
not properly ventilated" Captain
Reid testified. They have two
25-gallon cans of gas on deck that
are not even lashed down. They
have a portable cooking stove
that is a hazard every time it is
used. There Is also an acetylene
blow torch that could scarcely be
a worse fire hazard.
The family sailed from Ia
coma . week ago for Cook
inlet, Alaska, but put In at
Seattle for minor repairs. The
children were seized by juve-
nile authorities when seamen
complained that the children's
lives were endangered As long
rs they were aboard the
homemade craft.
On the waterfront, opinion as
to the Ark's seaworthiness was
divided. Some believed Satko,
