be asked, even Though they. could

Too Many Hobbies.
And here's another difficulty in
the path of the glamour girl who
wants to go with the right boys to
the right places. Bachelors of the
Franchot Tone, Jimmy Stewart and
Meredith caliber are cutting out
tete-a-tetes with prominent ladies
in prominent places. al

cause we get overwritten up in the

the type of men they make us out
to be. I'm a pretty good pub
crawler on my own, but when like
a girl, I am not seen around with
her. I don't take her to the night

Burgess, who is 80 years old,
comes from Cleveland and until
recently shared Franchot Tones
house, is now living with Jimmy
Stewart. According to his house
guest, Jimmy has too many hobbies
to take much interest in the fem
mime problem of Hollywood. He
gets up at the crack of dawn to
fly" Now, of course, Jimmy is
slated for a year in the Army.

Bros. production. same is true OF
Rita Hayworth, who hasn't worked
for her home studio, Columbia, in
nearly a year. Don Ameche has
packed up and taken trip off the
Fox lot to Paramount. Dozens of
others also are on the march.
Some insiders hiss out the theory
that producers have secretly agreed
to a pooling system ''for the good of
the industry" but that is secuted by
those who still realize there is plenty
of money making rivalry among
Hollywood studios-and that star
names, more than any other single
factor, spell cash at the box Office.
The big steam-up on trade deals
is spurred, of course, by the impend-
ing consent decree regulations
whereby the Government agreed to
drop its trust charges against the
movie industry few months ago.
Under this agreement, which takes
effect with the new selling season
about June 30-distributors can't
slip any more lemons over on the
exhibitor. Each picture must be
sold on its own merits. No more
block booking-at least never in ex-
cess of five on one contract deal.

the threat to the exhibitor: IF you
don't take our whole program of As

Names Mean Much.
This means that each production
sold at good rental price must have
a title, a strong story and, above all,
stars in the cast that will pull
crowds into the theater. Argue all
you wish about the seeming neces-
sity Of plot strength, but it's the star
that draws people into the theater
or causes them to stay away.
Look back on the biggest money
makers of 1910 and you'll see what
we mean. Boom Town" didn't rise
to its proud spot as the biggest gross
ing picture of that year because of
its story, which, in any analysis,
was shoddy and ridiculous 1t was
the fascinating presence of Clark
Gable, Hedy Lamar, Spencer Tracy
and Claudette Colbert in the same
movie that tore open fandoms
purses. On the other hand, Our
Town" had powerful story, but no
names the public knew. 1t Topped.
Hence, the scramble on all sides
to beg, borrow, even steal per-
Sonalities whose names have estab-
hshed drawing power. Some studios
have these lovely people in abun-
dance-such as Metro -Goldwyn-
Mayer. Others, like Columbia, with
short contract roster, are de-
pendent entirely on their ability to
''hoss trade" And that reminds
us, if David Harum were alive and
in a studio saddle-seat today what
swell time he'd have outwitting the
screen moguls.
AS it is, there are many slippery
and involved swapping deals being
registered all over Hollywood today.

to bolster one important dead spot,
they're offering cash bonuses and

a pack of rabbits. There is a mad
streak in her, but when another
woman is observing she can switch
instantly to most innocent charm,
so that, although she admits she
is 80 years old, she acts as if she
were the sweetest of child movie
stars. And while acting so she is
planning her next murder.
It's No Mystery.
This is no mystery play for the
audience is let in on the whole
secret almost from the beginning.
The problem of the plot is how the
other characters on stage are going
to trap Emmy when she uses her
allure to lead another man into
the hidden hooks of the moor and
there murder him. Only fascinat-
ing Emmy doesn't stop with merely
a quick murder. She, as she con-
fesses later, feels a tumultous
strength at the sight of blood and
she also mutilates her victims.
Then Emmy had a fantastic fin

to the church, where she broke in
through cellar door and, in the
deep hours of night, played the pipe
organ exultantly.
Sometimes Exciting.
Sounds like hokum and justifiably
so unless you review some real life
murder cases. And if you do that
such murder plays as They Walk
Alone" do not seem too unbeliev-
able.
This play, which was a hit in the
London theater when it was done
there in 1899, is just good and
sometimes exciting thriller. But,
it is Miss Lanchester's most adept
performance that keeps it moving
at an exciting pace and she is
aided by Carol Goodner as the one
person most necessary to a murder
play-the one who keeps a level
head when every one else is going
slightly mad.

John O'Hara's "Pal joey" tells
a vigorously story intelligibly and

Ainbot pastor of the Holy Trinity church, Hartford, and Joseph Laucka, national president ot the Federation of Lithuanian Roman Catholic societies of America. were among the other prominent guests.
 The local presentation included selections by a sextet composed of Adele Greblunas, Marcelle nAdrikis. Celine Smolskis, Mary Alubauskas, Joan and Adele Lusas; and by a male octet made up of Al Jarus, An- thony Miklinevich, Alexander Mark us, Algird Ulinskas, Joseph Janosh, Joseph Coskie, Paul Kauneckis, and Vincent Glimas. A Lithuanian folk dance was rendered by Aldona Bulk auskas, Joseph Coskie, Michaelina Jurkewic, Al JaruS, Marcelle nAdri- kis, Joseph Janosh, Joan Lusas, and Anthony Bukauskas.
 The Lithuanian Citizens Political club held its annual dance Saturday night in Venta hall on Green street. Tn charge of the affair was Joseph Svenkunas, Charles Wasilauskas, Michael Lisauskas, William Greb- lunas and John Klikna. Music was furnished by the Merrymakers' orchestra.
