Times stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Bal-
lots were cast Saturday in the
first national wheat referendum
held blythe Department of Agri-
culture and it is estimated that
10000 Michigan farmers partici-
pated. They voted, along with
farmers in 80 other states, on
whether farmers shall be permit
ted to grow all the wheat they
want.
Rep. Frank T. Hook OF Michi.
gan has urged farmers to vote for
the quota system, pointing out
that it is the best assurance of a
satisfactory price for their crop.
Under the quota system, he
pointed out that farmers can sell
all the wheat they raise on their
acreage allotments, and store the
excess or sell it at penalty of
as or 40 cents per bushel. The
unsold quota wheat is also eligible
for loans Of 50 per cent of parity
while excess wheat raised outside
Of allotments is eligible TO only sc
per cent of the regular rate.

SUSAN AND COD N0W ON SCREEN
 AS CAPITOL HIT
Joan Crawford Stars with Fredrie March in
 Broadway Play

The new dramatic promise which Jean Crawford evienced in 'The Women" reaches a surprising cul- imitation in Susan and God pie turization of the Rachel Brothers Broadway hit which has become an even greater screen success. The film, co-starring Fredric March and featuring one of the season s strongest supporting casts, now at the Capitol.
 Despite the magnificent handling Of the theme by Director George Cukor, the brilliant screen play by Anita Loos and the individual gems of characterization turned in by March and the others Susan and God" is a personal triumph for Miss Crawford, for the delicacy and assurance of her work places her on an acting pedestal which she has never previously approached.
 As Susan, the scatterbrained self -centered social gadabout whc adopts a new social movement as a fad and makes complete botch of the lives of her friends and herself by her meddling, the star over- shadows every other item of criti- oal consideration. As the inebriate husband, Barrie, who finally wins the battle with himself and Susan March turns in a matching per formance which makes his return to films a welcome event.

COMEDY-DRAMA NOW PLAYS AT
 10TH CENTURY
Everything Happens al Night" Has Sonia
 Henie as Star

There's different Sonia Henie at the 20th Century Theatre, where her latest 20th Century-Fox pie ture, Everything Happens at Night" is being shown.
 With the support of two leading men, Ray Midland and Robert Cum mings, Sonia gives us a picture that rates first in entertainment among any the season has thus far presented. Daryl F. Zanuck select ed Irving Cummings to direct and his delft touches add to the en- joyment of his outstanding pro- duction.
 Maurice Moscovich, Leonid Kin skey Alan Dinehart and Fritz Field are included in the cast. The screen play by Art Arthur and Robert Harari has the breathtaking Swiss Alps as a locale. with Sonia navi- gating the slippery slopes on skis with the ease and grace of her performances on the ice. There's plenty of suspense, danger and ad- venture in the timely story, with hilarious comedy supplied by the rivalry between Ray and Bob for Sonia as well as for the biggest news scoop of the year. Both lads are reporters who encounter Sonia on the trail of great story, and through her they find it. The re- suit is a great story for all fans.
