The Cast,

fact that it can hardly achieve any
dramatic suspense in the face of
the familiarity of its subject, is not
to be passed up on this account.
The outline is familiar, but the
approach is somewhat different from
previous studies of the queen who
gave her name to an age in our
past. The film might even be called
Prince Consort of Destiny" for the
emphasis is placed on Victorias love
for Albert and on his difficulties in
winning over the suspicious Britons.
1t is truly an admirable account of
the tragedy which rode Albert, from
the moment he arrived in England
unWelcome, through the years when
he thought only of Britain's inter-
ests and Britain's progress, always
to be misunderstood.
To encompass the entire pageant
of Victoria's reign seems not to have
been the purpose of Queen of
Destiny" though the film embraces
the time from her announcement
to the House of Lords Of her be-
trothal, in 1840, to her death which
sent a nation into deepest mourn
ing shortly after her Diamond
Jubilee in 1897. Rather it is the
intimate side of her life that Is
treated, her life with Albert and her
children and the effect on her of

wellington, the Crimean War, Dis
raeh and his Suez Canal. Khartum
and the Diamond Jubilee.
The cast which Mr.. Wilcox has
selected to record his warm-hearted
documentary account of this phase
of Victoria's life, is an altogether
capable one. Miss Neagle, as we may
have hinted before, can create a
picture of Queen Victoria which
will win you even as the original
won her subjects, a Victoria even
Helen Hayes must admire tremen-
dously. She has the regal poise to
make her Victoria every inch a
queen. the heart to make her a
woman in love and the tenderness
of loyal British lass for the men,
ory of Victoria which shines
through always in her portrait. OF
the others, the most notable are
Anton Walbrook, the perfect choice
for the Prince Albert role, and C.
Aubrey Smith, as fine as wellington
as he is as any one else, which is
mighty fine.
There should be one final word,
too, about the settings. They outdo

which is bit of outdoing, and sell

Miss Neagle, of course, is not un-
familiar with the role. Back in 1887
she played Victoria ever so admir-
ably in a film called Victoria the
Great" which, incidentally, was not
only the forerunner but the reason
for Queen of Destiny" After the
British government saw the original

and other British royal palaces as

So Mr.. Wilcox got busy with a
script to treat of other aspects OF
Victorias life and reign. cast Miss
Neagle once again in role she quite
evidently cherishes, and decided
such handsome sets most certainly
called for technicolor. The result
is a film which, in addition to being
pictorially beautiful as any photo
play filmed in these surroundings
could be, is both a heart-warming
story of a royal romance and an
inspiring story of woman who
ruled her people with a love and
understanding which merited the
great love they gave her in return.

traffic made driving home peasaner for those thousands
of west sders who highway other than Grand

But the DPW did NOT pave between the street car
tracks the lane that carries much of the through faster

One department paves streets from curbs to trolley
rails another paves the streets just between the
rails
There are great many motorists who wish that

could be bounced the length and breadth of Grand Rivers
trolley tracks in the back of automobile Mayor
Jeffries, DPW Supt William NJ Walker Jr. and DSR

The only reason for putting the mayor in there is
because he's their boss.
Maybe as a lawyer too, he can find some way to
pave between the trolley tracks in Grand River.

Lots Of Good Pots
For Lack Of Good Plots
BY DAMON RUNYON

100000 pieces per week of enan-
elware for 40 weeks, this single
deal involving 100000 pieces.
He learned from the repre-
sentatives Of another New York
premium firm which has 20
branches that this firm distrib-
utes about 10000 dishes week.
The premium supply business
must run into millions in money
annually, though Mr.. Hoffman
was unable TO get any definite
line on It in terms of dollars and
cents. When he inquired about
the financial aspects OF the
trade, the premium fellows be-
came quite cagey, one OF them
remarking:
"Why should I let Louis u.
Mayer know how much business
am doing: First thing YOU
know, he'd leave the Metro and
60 into this"
The premiums consist Of many
different articles --- Chlnaware,
glassware. alminumware, tin
ware and even cosmetics and
linens. Some movie houses run
trailers on their premiums as
we'll as on their films.
Most of the big premium sup
NV tuuses- have big warehouses
in which to store their stocks Of
giVeaways and employ travelling
statesmen and ballyhoo their
wares with all the enthusiasm Of
the picture promoters them
selves.
Mr.. Hoffman thinks IL all
started around 1929 when the
depression asSassinataed h @
movie business and the resultant
double-feature thing began cut
ting down the quality Of the
pictures. AS he says, TO offset
the dearth Of good plots the
exhibitors gave the ladies an
excess of good pots.
We can remember when the
old-time theatrical stock COM
panies out west used to ginger
matinee trade with similar
prizes, but the idea was new 10
the movies and II went big. II
went biggest as the pictures got
worse. one premium salesman
reporting 10 Mr. Hoffman,:
ITS bad pictures that's maxi
ing my business good"
The giving away Of premiums
is more prevalent in small cities
and local neighhorhoods than
anywhere else. We have never
encountered the practice on
Broadway. The Broadway pic
ture houses do not give away
anything In fact, We have
/ known days when the Para
mount clock would not even give
away the right time

TO THE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR:
1T SEEMS TO me that it is
\ about time the majority of
our sports writer's woke up to
the fact that our present heavy
weight champion, Joe Louis, is
Just another fighter who hap
pened to be lucky enough to win
the title when competition was
at the lowest ebb in half a
century.
Why say he is one Of the
greats of all time. when We
are all aware that he hasn't
whipped half a dozen legitimate
challengers or first class men in
his entire career?
Schmeling never was a great
fighter. and he was long past his
peak when he trounced Louis.
Braddock, Just another light
heavyweight in his prime, stayed
eight rodnds before Succumbing.
And winning from such mediocre
men as Music, Paychck, etc,
certainly cannot be called
great feat or defense of the
heavyweight title,
True. Louis is a grand fellow
and a great credit TO his race,
but why endeavor to force such
honors on him that even gull
-rB1e public cannot swdfiow -,
Schemling. Braddock. Farr,
Simon and now Conn, all have
proven 10 the majority of us
that Louis IS Just another heavy
weight fighter who was born at
the right time.
Like the majority we always
were Of the opinion that Louis
was anything but an outstand-
ing pugilst. and when the light
hitting Conn had him google
eyed in the twelfth round the
other night. our assumption was
subStantiated.

Irving Hoffman has found out.
Irving Hoffman is a tall, ener-
getic and inquiring young man
who covers the New York scene
for the Hollywood Reporter. one
Of the important organs of the
movie industry. Recently he
took 10 looking into the theater
premium proposition for his pub
LEGATION and he has come up with
the most astonishing informa-
ton A premium is a prize that
a theater gives 10 its, customers
by way of lagniappe. or boot
with a picture presentation.
IN SHORT, the premium is an
L added induccment 10 the GUS
toner 10 view the picture. We
once heard Of an operator Of a
movie theater in a small town
in Colorado who used TO 60
around threatening 10 punch the
noses Of persons who failed 10
attend his picture presentations
and that developed a lively trade
for him as he could lick anybody
in town. but we understand the
premium is a much stronger in
ducement.
In fact Mr.. Hoffman relates
Of a New Jersey exhibitor who
recently built a new theater.
then vowed he would not open It
until he had secured certain
advantageous deal with local
premium distributor and actually
booked in his dishes before he
decided on his opening film
However, we rather imagine this
was an exceptional case.
WE TAKE il that most Of our
w readers are familiar wi h
the general form and purpose Of
the premium. but we doubt that
many of them are aware OF the
scope of the premium industry
as revealed by Mr.. Hoffman.
He tells of one premium outfit
making a deal with chain Of

For Better County Rule

= OVERNOR VAN WAGNER deserves thanks Tor

politicians
One aboishes the office of township road commits
sioner There have been no township roads Michigan
for many years yet Legislatures of the past have kept
men on the public paw rolls to that did not
exist.
Another bill authorizes Wayne County voters to
eliminate the ancient and useless office of county surveyor
The third permits Wayne County to install civil
service system the county government thus freeing
the county's 600 employees from political abuse
The last two acts pertain only Wayne Other coun-
ties should have the opportunity to effect similar reforms
and undoubtedly will win such authority in the future
Thus the first steps have been taken toward more
efficient county rule and abolition of the useless require
ments Of the township system.
