HOLLYWOOD, April l6. - The
most explosive shouter in Holly
wood, Director Michael Curtiz, has
met his match. Ordinarily, on 9
clear day, his orders to a mob OF
extras can be heard a mile back
in the hills.
Now he's directing the big Dive
Bomber company on location at
the U. S. Navy's airbase IN san
Diego where the roar of hundreds
of powerful motors fills the air all
day long. Even Curtiz can't shout
them down. Often the noise IS SO
deafening that he has to write his
orders and watch Enrol Flynn ana
Fred MacMurray rehearse scenes
in pantomine.
like a football coach at a skull
practice session, Curtiz sketches
out the action he wants with a
piece of chalk on the smooth con-
crete runways. For a while, SEN
tries coming on duty were puzzled
by the diagrams and scrawls, and
suspected they were something in
code, possibly the work OF a spy.
1t seems that Hungarian Cutriz
spelling like his speech, "hez an
eccent."

voice SO terrible she can't get
job. She fails in a try-out for the
Metropolitan Opera, and also flunks
Manhattan night club addition.
So the studio hit on this neat
device: Polite opera officials tell
Eer that her voice is fitted for
torch songs and ballads and sug-
gest a night club job; the manager
OF the hot-spot gives her the
brush-off by saying she had better
try grand opera. Incidentally,
though Miss Dunne's biographies
list her as having sung with the
real Metropolitan Opera, the act

once a guest soloist with a SYM
phony orchestra, many of whose'

TOUGH GUY
FROM BROOKLYN

There's a new guy from the
Brooklyn mob who's muscling in
on Hollywood. Just because he
pulled a couple OF big jobs right
after he hit town, he's taking over
as the new head-man of movie
gangdom. Not that Sheldon Leon
ards so tough-it's just that the
films need new thugs almost as
BADLY as they need new leading
men.
The actors who consistently play
movie mugs-Warren Hymer, Hor-
ace Mcmahon, Edward Brophy,
Joseph Calleia, Abner Biberman,
Llyod Nolan, Allen jenkins and
the rest of the local mob-are SO
familiar that they've almost lost
their menace. Fans recognize them
as readily as neighborhood cop

manager in Rochester and Brook

fine record as a Broadway come
dian; he was the suave city guy of
Having Wonderful Time and the
producer in Kiss the Boys Good
bye. Then he made his first false
step-took the role of the murderer
in Another Thin Man.
Coming west last September to
try out in new play, he signed
up as Cesar (Butch Romeros
gangland rival in Tall, Dark and
Handsome. Now on a long-term
contract TO 20th-FoX and being
loaned all over toWr for sinister
roles, Comedian Leonard is typed
until a newer and tougher guy
takes over the movie mob.

Traffic Tieup
Slight Despite
Crowded Roads

Although every available priv
ate vehicle appeared TO be trans
porting strikebound Detroit today,
traffic experts reported surpris-
fngfy little congestion.
Traffic Engineer Grant d.
Mickle estimated that heavy traf-
fic slowed down the average De-
troiter ID minutes in getting 10
work.
The full manpowef of the police
traffic division is on
duty with 43 men stationed at in
terSections and 50 patroling the
streets on motorcycles.
Nearly triple the average num-
Der of non-injury collisions was
during the early hours
Of the DSR strike, but police were
called 10 only one injury accident.
That crash also proved TO be
minor.
PARKING LOTS CROWDED
Parking lots were reaching the
ssturation point by 10 a. m. Police
concluded that family members
chauffeured the workers TO their
destinations, thus keeping the
parking problem under control.
Capacity traffic choked Grand
River and Gratiot avenues with
the worst tieups experienced
where other arteries emptied into
these in the mid-towp area.
Busiest intersections were: Bal
timore and Woodward avenues;
ST. Jean and Warren avenues:
St. Jean and Shoemaker avenues;
Grand River and LivernoiS ave-
nues; West Chicago boulevard and
Grand River avenue, and Grand
River and McGraw avenues.

Taxi(db Drivers
Hit the Jackpot

The city's taxicab companies
were deluged with calls for trans
portation today as a result of the
DSR strike.
An hours delay or more was
necessary before the Checker Cab
Company. operator of 700 cabs.
could promise telephone callers
service.
Radio Cab Company, which has
about 80 cars, quit taking orders
for cabs at 6 a. m. The telephone
operator at the Radio concern
said:
People are grabbing them on
the streets. The-eab drivers
won't answer our signals. l can't
take orders; I haven't for the
past hour and half"
A. Pfeffer, supervisor of traffic
for Checker, said the company put
on three extra telephone operators
10 answer calls and that later in
the day relief operators would be
called in. He said:
"We're very busy; we're Civ
ing an hours delay and we
won't promise 1t In less than
that"

Detroit's last major transporta-
ton strike was in April. 1898. when
operators of 800 street cars struck
in a dispute involving seniority
rights among trolley operators and
bus drivers.
The strike started at 4 a. m.
April 7 and ended 81 hours later.
Although no tfeiieys were oper-
ated. two-thirds OF the citys buses
ran.

WHY THEY STRUCK

Downtown department stores
gave their clerks 4 45-minutes lee
way in reporting for work.
What started the last DRS
strike?
Since 1888 operation OF the DSR
had been hampered by constant
pickering between street car opeT-
atorS and bus drivers over SEMI
eritX.
As a group, the trolley men had
longer service records than bus
drivers. They demanded q senior
ity system which would enable
them 10 transfer from street cars
20 buses. which were gradually
replacing trolleyS. without losing
their seniority rights TO the bus
drivers.
In 1885. voters approved a
charter amendment setting up
separate seniority systems for the

INTER-UNION ROW
II read:
THE present DSR strike

not involved. This strike
has been called in spite of
the fact that negotiations
for wages and working con-
ditions have just been COM

the union.
Every effort has been
exhausted by the mayor,
the commission and the
management 10 settle this
inter-union quarrel without
a strike. But the strike has
been called without the 80
day notice required by
Michigan law.
"In the interest of per-
sOnal safety and the pro-

there will be no attempt to
operate either coaches or
street ears. The mayor,

service as soon as possible
