Councilman Albert Bouday has
finally come out OF his shell and
put up a fight for the West Side
OF the track. At the last regular
council meeting. Bouday made a
motion that the streets on the
West Side be cleaned. He remind
ed the council that II had been al
most two years since the streets
had been swept and he let them
know It was nothing to be proud
OF. He told them that from now
on the West Side had to get more
for It's tax dollar than 1t had
been getting.
Let us hope Bouday Will go to
the bat for more police protection

councilman residing on the West
Side, and after two years as coun-
Gilman he has just seen the light.
Councilman Goodell was the only
other one to fight for this pro-
posal in the meeting. The pro-
posal was not to hire old men to
sweep the streets. but TO buy a

Now that Virginia OBrien has
completed the Hollywood cycle
from Meet the People" to Meet
the People" = it's high time for
movie audiences to meet the Vir-
ginia O'Brien behind the dead pan.
So today we are forming a new
organization known as Get Vir-
ginia O'Brien Into Romantic Roles
and Into the Hero's Arms" All
members of the "GVOIRRAITHA"
will wear lapel buttons reading,
Meet Virginia O'Brien."
Reason for our campaign is that
Hollywood. we feel, isn't doing
right by Virginia.
On the screen she's been given
songs to sing deadpan style, few
lines of dialogue and that just about
ends it. She's typed as a come
dienne. She's never had a screen
romance. All her leading men have
been comedians. Handsome heroes
ignore her She's never been kissed
in any of her pictures except by
Bert Jahr, who pecked her on the
arm once.
OFF F-SCREEN LOVELY
Off the screen, Virginia O'Brien
is the antithesis of her celluloid
self. a very beautiful young lady,
indeed. People, in fact, have been
known to do double take upon
meeting her for the first time and
say, Not THE Virginia O'Brien?"
There's that much difference. 1t
can all be blamed. of course, on
that poker-faced style of singing
That's what people remember about
her
Don't get the idea that Virginia
is complaining. She's very happy
as a deadpan, smiling one of the
warmest smiles in Hollywood every
Saturday when TIE weekly pay
check comes in.
But in support of the "GVOIR-
RAITHA" we submit the following
She can act: Several months ago
before Myrna 10y decided to re-
turn to the screen, studio bosses
looked at some of Virginia's film
scenes and decided she would be
splendid Nora opposite William
Powell in the Thin Man series
She was given script to read ano
told to prepare for the role. Then
Myrna suddenly decided to come
out of her retirement and Virginia
lost the part.
She has glamor: During filming
of "DuBarry. Was a Lady" the
studio ordered one of Virginia. s
scenes refined. When she in
quired what was wrong, she was
told: "You looked too beautiful
You're supposed to be a come
dienne."
SCARED SENSATION
Meanwhile, Virginia is working
in the film version of Meet the
People," the Hollywood revue in
which she made her professional
debut four years ago and in which
she literally was frightened into a
career. The dead pan was natural
She was terrified on opening night
She stood stiffly, almost motionless
while she sang She was scared tC
death. She was a sensation, and
won a film contract before the
show closed.

Clarifying
Yourself
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Your chin line is your first line
of defense against old age. You
may have the figure of 16-year-
old and the complexion of a baby,
but if your chin says you can kiss
the illusion of youth boodby.
Often the sort of work a girl
does contributes that extra and
than welcome fold of fat below
the jaw. If you bow your head over
a typewriter or spend most of the
day doing work which keeps your
head down, then make habit OF
throwing your head back every now
and then and rolling it from side
to side.
This simple and relaxing exer-
else is one which film actress Mary
Elliott of the chiseled features and
perfect neckline does daily to keep
her chin in line.
For instance, Mary illustrates

Is not, in fact, providing fruitful
soil for the growth of Farleyism in
New JERSEY"
REFERENCE TO FARLEY
The reference was to James A.
Farley, former Roosevelt political
manager who now is general
manager of the Democratic cam
paign to prevent the Presidents
denomination.
Regardless Of Whcrh Edison
eventually turns up in the pre-
convention battles, Hague can be
depended on to send 100 per
cent fourth term delegation to the
Democratic National convention
He has worked closely with the ad-
mlniStration. Mr.. Roosevelt recog-
hized that fact last winter by
awarding TO Hague follower
federal judgeship over the protests
of Edison and others.
In New York City. the Com
munlSts are emphasizing the i'm
portance of the August 10 primary
Tor nomination of minor municipal
officials, Discussing the primary
editorially, the Daily Worker said
Join the Democratic party, the
contest is between the pro-Roose-
velt leadership and the pro-Farlev
forces"
In New York, as in New Jersey
there will be an effort to prevent
Mr.. Roosevelt from controlling the
states delegation to the Demo-
cratic national convention. IF Far
ley is unable to hold a sizable
number of New York delegates off
the fourth term bandwagon, the
chances of any stop Roosevelt
movement will be materially
diminished.
Some Roosevelt supporters as
serted that Farley already has lost
the battle in New York state. The
New York city newspaper PM as
serted yesterday that Mr.. Roose-
welt would be supported by an al
most solid delegation from his home
state.
