HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 10
The softening and enfeebling
processes of Hollywood life
have ruined the acting careers
of most of the American
Indians living here. wouldn't
care to say they have become
pallid> and fat, but that's ex-
actly what studio casting be-
lieve.
A committee of some 80
Indian men has presented pc
tition to Central Casting re-
questing preferential treatment
on all studio calls for actors to
portray redskins. Just as they
were doing that, Warner Broth
ers was going to all the trouble
and expense of importing 16
Sioux braves from the Standing
Rock Agency, Fort Yates, N
D., to work in the new Enrol
Flynn Aim, "They Died With
Their Boots On"
Crazy Bear, Holy Besi
White Shield, Chasing Hawk,
Elk Voice and the other new
corners are very satisfactory in
appearance with no traces OF
the sedentary world of motor
cars, elevators, meringue pie
and air-conditioned b ar b e
shops.
IDLE DAY BRINGS PAY
The visiting Sioux are liv-
ing in a local hotel with a room
apiece, and are fed at studio
expense. Their wage is S. a
day when they're idle and s1l
a day when they work. All but
SO a week, though, will be with
held until they get home. The
redskins admire the way Hoi-
lywoodsmen dress but they're d
little shocked by the immodest

. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE

was our first experience In a
tournament together.
The defending champions, d.
Bruce Burnstohe, former treas
urer of the American Contract
Bridge League and q member Of
the Four Aces. and his team
mates, Lou Mathe, Meyer Scheif-
er and Roscoe A.. Puffer, all of
Los Angeles, were too much for
US.
I was impressed with Lou
Mathe's style. His play is char
acteristically daring as today's
hand demonstrates.
When East played the king of
spades on the opening lead,
Mathe (South) won at once,
since Z holdup was useless. Now
Mathe could have cashed four
clubs and his three aces. A fin
esse of the queen Of hearts might
produce eight tricks, limiting
the loss to one trick.
But Mathe was not interested
in limiting the lossI His motto is,
II there Il . play for the contract,
try IL.
without hesitation he led a
heart and fineSsed the ten. When
Il won, he came beck with the
club ace for 3 winning finesse of
the queen.
Il il much easier to take these
Illnesses when you see four hands
than when you don't. And not
every player could lead heart
for the first finesse without q
long huddls to steel his resolu>
ton.

, HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD

"Just sit there and look like
an old Indian fishing in the
lake." said Mike Curtiz to the
old Indian who sat there fish
ing in the lake.
Joe Beavertail squatted on
the ,rickety pier and tried to
look even more like an old
Indian fishing in the lake. "Thst
is good" said Curtiz. Much
better than Hollywood Indians.
Maybe I take you back to .Hol-
lywood and make. you an

RED MEN CUT LOOSE
The arrival of the. company
with four chartered planes,
the bright lights, mysterious
sound equipment, color cameras
and many people who ran
around like crazy-is the most
exciting thing to hit that cour-
try since the French and
Indian fracas.
Chippewas came from miles
around when the word went
out that Curtiz wanted to hire
a lot of Indians. They came
in their store clothes and with
their hair slicked down with
bear grease. One grandmother
brought a .papoose, about 8
dressed in a grass skirt like an
Hawaiian. A 17-year-old s,r'
wore rouge and high .heelcd
slippers. -

 Although your job officially is pretty much one of waiting around in case something happens to the President and of presiding over a Senate over which you have no real authority, you really can make whole lot of it if you want to.

 The rusted, six-foot shaft of solid iron marks the northeastern angle of Maine's border with Canada and commentaries the Treaty of Wash ington which settled rabid bound- ary dispute in l842.
 Both British and Maine troops were mobilized in 1889 for the "Aroostook War" in an endeavor to establish respective claims to the boundary But truce halted it at the last moment and the dispute was settled by treaty.

 The unofficial title of assistant President" is nothing new. It is true that for l40 years after Adams no Vice President ever sat in the Cabinet. but long before President Wilson's absence in Paris brought Thomas R. Marshall into the Cab inet, Vice Presidents had had the respect of their chief executives and worked closely with them.
 The newspapers of President McKinleys day first applied the title of Assistant President" to George A. Hobart, McKinleya first-term V. P, who died in office; but President Harding was ths first executive to use the phrase officially. He announced before his inauguration that he intended ito create the office of Assistant President' and bring MT. Cool idge into the Cabinet.
 Since then Vice Presidents Cur tis, Dawes and Garner have sat in the Cabinet often enough to keep the precedent alive and make their post something more than that of mere chair-warmei on the Senate dais.
