Silvia Sidney in
Film at Temple

Sylvia Sidney. after having been
away from Hollywood. has re-
versed the hack-to-the-farm move
ment and once again is seeing her
reflection in the glass eye Of a mo-
ton picture camera. And in a
crystal ball.
She has Just been uprooted from
the New Jersey acreage where she
and her husband. Luther Adler,
grow a quarter-section Of seed
corn, soy beans and assorted kit
chen vegetables. 10 play a strange
dramatic role in The Wagons Roll
at Night" which is now playing at
the Temple theater screen.
But Hollywood can see a certain
change in Sylvia.
She's not nearly so constrained
with strangers. Shes gayer.
Sylvia still seuffs her heels
against the ground when she walks
in or out Of a scene. That is a
little trick she will probably never
lose.
In her pocketbook she carries a
deck Of homemade snapshots of
her 1l-month son. namesake Of his
famous actor grandfather. Jacob
Adler. Like all young mothers. she
proudly and promptly produces
those pictures If anyone sits be-
side her for more than two
minutes.
The other half of the Temple
bill stars Wallace Berry and Lionel
Barrymore in The Bad Man, with
Ronald Reagan and LARAMIE Day in
support.

Excitement and suspense
II You a imagine anything
NTH more suspense and excite
msnt than = fight between two
men on 4 high tension wire stand
ard. your excitement must run ter
nncslly high. George Raft. who
gives al he's got. and that's a
lot. and Edward c. Robinson. who
Is always good, furnish the ex-
element and suspense as lnemen
for a power and light company
Love and hate
When a woman comes between
two pals. love STEPS In and ab-
serbs one until he thinks the other
is trying 10 steal his wife. then
an erstwhile friendship turns 70
hate. Marlens Dietrich Is the
woman. and you've eve seen her
in = harder role. BY that We mean
that shes hard as rocks.
Comedy
The comedy. ~ course. is ably
handled nv Alan Hale. a tall story
telling lineman, and Frank Nc
Hugh. a tipsy little wisecracker.
Just as II that isn't enough.
George Raft. also. fights his way
out of a olip-joint IN a beautiful
but short manner, and Robinson
vows the girls with his love-mak-
ing and dancing. which is really
something.
He's back again. that engaging
rogue of the old Southwests bad
lands. who fights his enemies and
loves his women without disturb
ing a hair on his well-groomed
head. Its the Cisco Kid, still
laughing at danger. as only Cesar
Romero can play the part. This
time he not only tangles with kid
nspers but tangos with Mary Beth
Hughes.
The picture wouldn't no com
rlete. though. without Chris-Pin
Martin. who plays Gordito, Cisoos
riding, sleeping, frightened part

'The state senate's refusal to

This is the man, if memory serves

court that he had no knowledge
that liquor was being made in
an outbuilding within 100 yards
of his residence-a building to
which federal officers were at
tracted by the odor of the
mash. D..
THE legislature should be COM
plimented on its move to provide
for a seventh supreme court JUS
tice, while abolishing the three
member advisory committee Of
the court. The state unquestion-
ably will vote for the necessary
constitutional amendment when
it is submitted at the next gen.
eral election. The change will
not only work an economy. but
will make impossible tie deci-
sionS of the court, which are not

Make It a Felony!

THE sovereign state of Wisconsin has decided to outlaw

In bill passed by both chambers of the Legislature

Communist Party of the United States, the Third Com

seeks to overthrow the government of the United States
This action has fantastic connotations 1t throws into
relief the incredible artessness of American legislation
Of course the Communist Party should be barred
from the ballot only in Wisconsin, but in every state
of the Union.
AS matter of fact. membership in the Communist
Party should be made felony by all states just as trea
and armed instruction and giving aid to enemies of
the nation felonies.
ITO BAR the Communists from the ballot is only mild

Communist governments do not bar other parties
from the ballot
They abolish the ballot and then abolish political OPP

Food for Desert Island
Potato ENVY Of Women)
BY DAMON RUNYON

OF late years we have not
been much of a straighta%ay
bread man. We think that what
discouraged US to some extent
about bread is the fact that
many New York restaurants
make a practice of serving rolls
with an outer crust that would
defy a Garand rifle bullet.
The inside is soft enough, but
you run the risk of cracking
your upper plate trying to bite
through the crust.
NEW WORKERS love their
~ rolls this way. Out where
we came from bread was. and
we hope and trust still is, some
thing that you got in a long
four-sided loaf from which you
cut square slices of a substance
that was as soft and white as an
angels wing.
You put these slices on your
plate and covered them with
gravy ana you can see the re-
suit of this fodder in the high
grade of civilization that pre-
walls west of the Mississippi.
The waiter looks at you ask
ance when you ask for that kind
of bread in a New York restau-
rant. They keep it in stock. all
right, but from the reluctance
with which they serve it. we sus-
pect that the proprietors want it
all for themselves.
The customers get the hard
rolls.
We have heard it said that the
late Jack Legs" Diamond some
times carried one of those rolls
wrapped up in a napkin in lieu
of a lead pipe because the roll
made less noise cracking a
sconce.
But. of course, we do not be-
lieve the story.

Wise Tax Exemption

CTTY TREASURER Albert E. Cobo has made laudabe
~ suggestion in asking that the Legislature place $500
exemption on personal property tax assessments.
Treasurer Cobo points out that this exemption will
make it possible to eliminate 40 per cent of the $4,000
personal property records of small business he
must carry his books
He says further that the cost of collecting and keep
ing records on these accounts with smaller businesses is
usually more than the tax collected.
To this add that the $4,000 small business men
involved sufficiently burdened with a multitude of
taxes TO provide government revenue They should not
have to compute and that do bene
fit the governmental unit that collects them.
Unfortunately there is much red tape be unwound
before this exemption be accomplished We urge both
the city government and the state Legislature to do this
as quickly as possible
