Cradle in Gorgeous
Color ut FO1
BY CHARLES GENTRY

This, too Is worked into a pro-
duction number, sung by Betty
Cradle in a beer garden and Phil
Regain on a Broadway stage.
The Wishing Waltz" in which
Betty dances with Hermes Pan,
is a delightful bit and il is these
production numbers which will
prove the biggest attractions IN
the film.
CUTE NUMBERS
There's another cute number.
Coin TO the County Fair, "
which is slightly reminiscent OF
the Surrey With the Fringe on
Top" which you'll like. and a
remake Of the old Waiting at the
Church" number which is colorful.
But despite the presence of
Adolphe Meniou as an apopletic
editor, Alan Dinehart as a pomp-
Gus producer and several other
characters. no one has managed
10 get a laugh in the thing.
So we advise you 10 just go and
become daZzled with La Cradle
and tons Of knockout costumes
and scenery in color. and wait
until next week for laughs.

Pick Graham
AS New Head
OF SIS Dept.

A nationwide search for lead
err for the state department OF
social security ended Thursday
when Gov. Arthur B. Langlie an
nounced he had found the man
of his choice-Verne Graham
working right in Olympia.
Graham has been acting di-
rector of the department the
past Is months.
The post. vacated by Charles F.
Ernst two years ago, has been a
subject of conjecture by old-age
pensioners and Republicans alike
Pensioners, fearful lest q GEAR
like Ernst be appointed, were
clamoring for director who would
be liberal in the Interpretation of
old age assistance laws. Republi-
cans were insisting the post, pay
ing $1,000 per year. go to one of
their party members.
Graham, a former resident
of Everett. was connected
with the Everett water de-
partment until ne joined the
Snohomish county welfare Of
flee In 1882 rs a clerk. He
later became manager of Sno-
homish and Island county
employment offices. A year
later he became district ad-
ministrator for Snobomish,
Skagit, Whatcom, Island and
San Juan counties.
In 1886, Graham was transfer
red to Olympia and was promoted
to operating manager of the en-
tine social security department.
Later he served for a short time
as head of the newly created I'M
employment and compensation
division of the state.
Graham had been mentioned
as the governors choice TO
head the social security office
many times, but his friends
stated he was not then in

cause Of the tremendous
responsibility IL carried.

Demo Solons
Agree to
Caucus Rule

Indication was strong today that
the speaker of Washington states
next House of Representatives will
be chosen at the possession Demo-
cratic caucus scheduled for Olym-
pia Jan. 10. a week from Sunday.
This became clear when all
seven Democratic members
from Pierce county told The
Tacoma Times they would
abide by result of the caucus
voting.
Should this same course Of sc-
ton be followed by the 81 Bourbon
members of the lower house las
most, it is known, win agree TO
dol, then the speakership candi-
date winning majority support in
the caucus would receive all 50
votes for speaker when the legis-
lature convenes the next day, Mon
day, Jan. IL.
In that event, the choice of
the caucus would prevail.
since the 81 are a clear ma
jority of the House of 80
members and the course fol-
lowed by the remaining AZ
Republican members could not
alter the result.
Rep. Ralph L. J. Armstrong. D.,
Olympia. is believed today to have
more than 80 pledged supporters.
II so. and if they stand by their
pledges, he will be the caucus
choice.
Then, N all Democrats vote
in the House "a the caucus
directs, he will he elected
speaker.
Armstrong at present Is the sole
strong west-of- the-mountains can
didate. His chief opponent is Rep.
Edward J. Reilly, d., Spokane,
speaker in 1e41.
The Pierce county members who
today. declared they would abide
by result OF the caucus are: John
McMonagle, 27th district: Hugh j.
Rosellini and w. r. II. Meddins,
28th district; Cliff ErdahI and u.
A Vane, 29th district, and Tom
Montgomery and Frank Cher
venka, 25th district.
While the local members were
agreed on their caucus attitude,
most were cautious as TO their
choice for speaker even though the
caucus is but 10 days away.
One was openly for Arm
strong. one came ont for
Reilly, one believed he him
self might be the choice for
speaker N caucus deadlock
should occur.
Erdahl voiced approval OF Reilly
for speaker. Erdahl said the ses-
sion was to be an important one
and he would favor the veteran.
experienced man over any new
conner. He said also, however, that
he would abide by majority deei-
sion OF the caucus and support
the party's choice. even il Reilly
shouldn't make IT. Erdahl ex-
