Hollywood. This autumn, sen- horas y senhores, there will be two Mirandas on Broadway. And next year there will be two Mirandes 1T. the movies. They'll be individual stars, too, and not sister act.
 Carmen has decided this and Aurora naturally has approved. The kid sister came here for Q career, and the established star is acting as Aurora's agent and manager. No matter that Carmen still doesn't speak enough English to argue fiu- ently with producers; they find her eloquent enough when she shrugs and says simple "No."
 It began about six months ago when Carmen Miranda, working then in That Night in Rio," wrote to her 20 years old sister Ito tell hew wonderful ees Hollywood" So Aurora, who was 6 considerable success in the singing and dancing

 For Cagney and Miss Davis, "The Bride Came 0. o. D." marks their first co.starring effort, and accord- ing to reports the new team sets Q new record for smooth coordination in getting the most out of the clev- CT comedy script.
 "The Bride Game 0. o. D." tells the amusing tale of spoiled young debutante with more dollars than sense and an aviator with just the opposite combination. She is about

STATE

The ttainload of Hollywood stars, comedians, movie moguls, press agents, newshRwks and the rest of the menage in world Premiere" which opened a three day engage ment at warmers State theater this afternoon proves that Hollywood has sense of humor.
 For 1t mirrors c subject about which the film colony has been touchy for years-the why's and wherefors of world premieres. And if that isn't enough of shock after all the fun and criticism that has been poked at the studios for their die-hard attempts to outdo each other In lavishness and novelty get this; they've taken all the ribs that have been flung at them for years, peppered 1t up with the slams certain foreign powers have aimed at the film capital, and then tur- ned the camera on themselves. Result-a rollicking burlesQue of%a premiere that tops Hollywood's most farcical efforts of the past.
 John Barrymore's buffoonery as the fictional wacky movie monarch rates top honors for one of the most hilarious performances of the year. When Barrymore originally accepted the part, he insisted that he be given Q free rein to interpret his role as he saw it. Needless to say, it's 0 Barrymore field day, causing as you may suspect, sprightly con- ment around Hollywood, sort of Q game trying to identify the movie bigwigs whom Barrymore has flat- tered with his priceless mimicry and 2any gestures.
 No world Premiere would be com- plete without beautiful women and in this respect, the picture boasts as pretty an assortment as any of its legitimate counterparts have ever marshalled together for such an occasion. Frances Farmer is seen for the first time aS Q striking brunette while Virginia Dale car- rles on as the standard bearer for her fair-haired sisters of the screen.
 Eugene Palette, Ricardo CorteZ, Sig Rumann, Don Castle, William Wright, Fritz F'eld, Luis Alberni, Cliff Naxarro and Andrew Tombes round out the all-star cast of merry mad daps.
 As the second smash hit tho man. Agement presents '"rhe Parson of Panamint" starring Charlie Ruggles in c splendid character role with Ellen Drew, Phillip Terry and Q host of other screen favorites.

 AURORA ARRIVES
 When the sleek, ack-haired Miranda reached New York, movie talent scouts with interpreters and bi-lingual contracts were swarming around her before she could un- pack. They offered tests, stock con- tracts and specific roles, one being Q spot in Panama Hattie" So Au- rora hotfooted 1t west, made screen tests and was ecstatic with delighe when she got two offers at $i00 Q week.
 That was the frs titme Carmen Miranda shrugged and said "No." Aurora, she explained, was here for vacation. Tn Rio, in Bue91os Aires, Auraro is Q beeg star. Tn Hollywood veesttor.,
 Studio offers climbed swiftly but Carmen still said no. She. had Q plan. Late in August she would An. ish her role in "Wekend in Havana" and then go to New York to be in "Crazy House" with Olsen and Johnson for the Shuberts.
 Recalling that her own Holly wood Stardoin had followed her Broadway ucceSs in "Streets of Paris" and various plushy night clubs, Carmen decided Aurora must begin there, too. She would GO into the Copccabana club, and with her would go Garments pride and joy her own personal orchestra, the Banda do Lua.
 Then there would be 6 spot for Miranda No. 2 in another Sfubert show. And after that, Hollywood. Carmen and Auraro will return early in 1042 when the former does her fourth musical for 20th-Fox. By that time there vii lbe top roles in other pictures for the kid sister. A hundred Q week-poof. Also phooeyI SISTER KNOWS BEST
 Aurora next year will be what you call 1t, hot in Hollywood" said Miranda No. 1 confidently. "1s all @ matter of using the right psycho- logic for the beeld-up. My seester do not onnerstond thees; but me, Carmen, I know thees what you call angles"
 Meanwhile, Aurora had some intensive grooming, with daily visits to the weekend in Havana" set, explanations of movie technique, dancing practice, and English les- sons under Garments coach and in- terpreter, 2. Yaconelli. Not until the other day did Miranda No. learn that YacoonelN teaches English with an Italian accent, but he teaches 1t yer ywell, anyway.

The Berle-Laughton team is the latest addition to radio comedy and It's debut is awaited eagerly.

elimination Of
group bonus

One the main things being
talked about at the MGR is the
elimination of the piece-work and
the group bonus system. This has
been one of the biggest things to
stop the speed-up in the industrial
plants in the country.
An hourly rate has proven sue
cessful in many plants in Dayton
and all over the country. This
plan will do away with the bosses
friends getting the best jobs, and
will keep men and women more
satisfied.
To hear the EIU talk of this
plan it will cut some of the mems
wages. Now this is not true i'm the
CLIO and only through our Union
can you get a decent hourly rated
production plan.
Only in the CLIO have the
workers the right to choose be-
tween the type of pay they want
and what the company will give
them.
In the CIO the people have the
right to vote for what they want,
and to make it stick, instead of
taking what the company stooges
will accept from the company.
All in all, this amounts to one
thing, the EIU is no good and it
is time to get out and join a real
Union, the UE-CIO LOCAL 807

Go leads
program

We of the MGR are hearing a lot
about the strikes that are going
on all over the country. In 1881
the same type of propaganda was
going around the shop, SO it seems
very much the work of the EIU;
They don't tell of the government
using the materials for defense,
or of the company's boarding.
The stooges that put out these
rumors are working hand and
fist with the companies to put
the fear of losing work in the
hearts of the working men, if
they belong to a Union. Now
anyone with common sense will
know this is not true, as the
Unions cannot afford to have men
out of work. To prove this state
ment, we would like to inform the
employees at the MGR, that the
CIO was the first one to 60 to
bat for the men and women that
are going to be laid off, due to the
cut in production by order of the
OPM. They we're the first to con-
tact the government officials to
provide work for these people in
the defense plants.
The CLIO was one of the first
to suggest that the men who
were laid off should be schooled
for jobs in the defense plants.
Now that these plans are 60
ing through, a lot of the big
shots are trying to take the credit
that should belong to the working
man. So in the future, we hope the
employees will look into these
tales that are going around the
plant, and see both sides of the
story. Always remember that no
matter how good the boss says
he is to his men, there are no
pension jobs at the CASH.

TO THE
EDITOR

I am pleased to learn that the
United Electrical Workers in Day.
ton are making such stirring eff
forts to aid the community, as
well as your own members, in
establishing job security. The most
progressive movement in our
country today is the determined
striving of the working men and
women of America to better the
living standards of the nation.
The standard of every American
citizen depends upon the hours,
wages, and working conditions of
the hourly paid worker. Keep up
the good work and my best wishes
to every Union man and woman
in Dayton.
Sincerely,

In the past, the Chest drive has
caused a great deal of comment
among some of our workers due to
the fact that donations were col
lected with little explanation.
Now, through an educational pro-
gram and the placing of reputa-
BILE labor men on the Chest Board
of Directors, a more healthy atti-
tude exists.
Donations will be entirely on a
voluntary basis. Any worker who
desires to designate the institu-

tribute, may do SO in entire con-
fidence, knowing that his wishes

In order to efface this view
point, certain definite moves on
the part of the president of Air
temp must be made. This is in no
way, an attempt to stir up trouble,
but is a definite effort on the part
of the employees, to bring about
recognition of their willingness to
cooperate 1000 in effort and out
put.
To begin with, the employees
wish to state, hat the Chrysler
Corporations selection of MI. D.
w. Russell, as president of Air
temp was the best move ever
made, since Airtemp's beginning.
Mr.. Russell is highly regarded by
all the employees, and they feel
that a "squarer shooter" never
existed.
But alas ! ! It all ends right
there. Further on down the ladder,
they don't have much to say. Is
it any wonder then, that the CO.
operation so sought after, is never
found
The old ARMY game of passing
the buck" has been borne by the
employees for so long, that CO.
operative interests simply cannot
exist. Foremen are not liked due
to their past and present tactics,
general managers are disliked for
allowing foremen Ito get away
with it," vice-presidents are
ignored simply because the con-
dition exists, and the former pres
ident was SO busy yachting, that
it was forgotten that there ever
was one
Does this make for co-opera-
ton? Only recently, has there
been high hopes of securing better
when organization
the UE banner was in
augurated. To date, under pres
emit circumstances, gains and pro-
gress have been made, along CO.
lines. But there is
nothing like having the best in
and to secure, the best
definite changes must take place.
Prolongation of the time in max
ing these changes, only serves to
embitter the workmen's
attitude. higher UP" initiative is
essential right now. The correct
understanding of this article and
action will do wonders
towards Airtemp's future progress.
