William Powell, acting under no

Newcomer Retains Name
One of the most interesting
instances of this trend of movie
makers to call a spade a spa lie
when it comes to casting their
screen stars was the debut of
l4-year-old singer Jane Powell.
In Song of the Open Road" her
name remained Jane Powell.
The trend is not confined 20
two-legged actors either. In
''Lassie Come Home" the star
ring role of the collie is played
by a magnificent animal called,
in real life, Lassie. Odd quirk,
however, is that Lassie is ac-
tually a male. The name was
given to him prior to the begin
ming of the picture, to accustou
him to hearing it spoken by the
cast, and it has stuck.

tional peace on a guaranteed scie
that great love story is involve
The Culbertson story, with
sure fire ingredients of famous
hero, unique triangle and post
war implication, has been drawn
ingenuously to the attention of
the producers of Zola, Parnell,
Nine. Curie, Mark Twain and
Buffalo Bill.
(Not for nothing is Culbert-
son an expert on bidding)
The romance starts out provo
catively with divorce in 1888.
Mrs. Culbertson believes she has
been supplanted by a rival. Our
hero has taken to prolonged alb
sences, a peake, and dreamy
look and scribbling at all hours
-sonnets no doubt.
Lots of suspense here. But
finally the rival turns out to be
the Culbertson world federation,
a peace plan based on the bal
anced distribution of lethal
weapons among mankind so that
three of kind is always beaten
by any hand including the joker.
When the estranged wife dis
covers that great humanitarian
work has been underway (first
printing, 235,000 copies) there is
a reconciliation and fadeout in
the postwar dawn.
AS Ely phrases it, Josephine
Culbertson has found her hap
piness again by participating ac-
lively in the world federation
movement and forgiving her hus-
band for sacrificing her destiny
to a greater duty. Thus mag
nificent love story, a dramatic
adventure of two lives, and the
worldwide pc a ce movement
could be woven into one"
What a picture! Culbertson
outlines the scenario in a letter
to Russell Birdwell, Hollywood
publicity man who told the
world about Gone With The
Wind, Jane Russell, Carol OF
Rumania, etc.
Birdwell could hardly keep
such human interest document
to himself. He quoted it exten-
sively in sprightly column
(advt.) he conducts in Daily
Variety. That put the Culbert-
son movie plot on the desk OF
every producer in Hollywood.
Movies are being prepared
about such diverse contempora-
ries as Sister Kenny, Wendell l..
Willkie and Louella Parsons, 50
it's a live market.
DEMOCRACY. Citizen Tom
Paine will not be filmed by Hol-
lywood after all. Producers
feared to offend the British by
clarifying the democrat of revo-
lutionary times. Sc Frank Tuttle,
director, and Franchot Tone,
star, sadly sold their rights il
the Howard Fast book.
The taker is Gabriel Pascal.
He will film the story in Eng
land, Paine's birthplace.
VARIATION. Hollywood does
plan film of the colonial peri
cd, however. 1t is Camilla, a
novel which appeals to RKO be-
cause it deals with early Ameri-
can vampires. Karloff will star

No New Driving Ban
Is Anticipated Despite
Tough Tire Situation

ny tne 3SSoclated Press.
BOSTON, April 15.-Bradley Dew
ey, rubber director of the War Pro-
duction Board, anticipates no pan
on pleasure driving this year but he
believes the American indu rial and
passenger tire situation will con-
tinue to be very tough
Addressing Boston rubber manu-
facturers last night and later dis
cussing the situation during a con-
ference, Mr.. Dewey said that every
body is interested in knowing when
the civilian driver may expect a new
tire, but because of military de-
mands, rubber now on the road will
have to be made to last for many
months to come"
Mr.. Dewey added that new ano
sitter military draft regulations
this year would slow production OF
synthetic rubber.
He said that 1914 production
might reach a total of $4,000, 0oC
passenger tires and estimated that
there are $4,000, 900 passenger cars
on the road, many Of them operat-
ing in the West for transportation
Of war plant workers on long hauls
Military needs must continue to
come first, Mr.. Dewey declared, land
in thee ase of finished rubber goods,
particularly large heavy duty tires;
a shortage up to Is per cent now
exists"
The rubber director said this stu
alton continues despite the facts
that this country now is producing
synthetic rubber at a rate greater
than that at which rubber was con-
sumed In any prewar year."

District 10 Ask Funds
To Establish Two
Psychiatric Units

The District government will seek
approximately $4,000 for two psy-
chiatric units under the Health De-
partment in supplemental requests
to Congress for the 1915 budget,
Budget Director Walter L. Fowler
said today.
Each unit, to have one PSYCHE
artist, two pSychiatric social work
ers and one clerk-stenographer, will
cost $4,000 annually. The 1915
budget estimates sent to Congress
in January by the Budget Bureau
did not contain provisions for con-
tinuation of psychiatric service at
Juvenile Court.
Mr.. Fowler said the projected
plan was to have these two units
under the Health Department avail
able for consultation by various
agencies, such as the schools, Board
|of Public Welfare. Juvenile and
Municipal Courts.
1--WE see splendid possibilities if
the personnel is properly assigned
and utilized" Mr.. Fowler said. eft
is a new and important trend in
public health thinking" he added.
DR.. George G. Rutland, District
health officer, has sought for sew
eral years the establishment Of q
mental hygiene service in his de-
partment, which would be able to
serve the community as a whole.
The Planning Committee of the
Council of Social Agencies Health
Division announced earlier that it
had gone on record in favor of
establishment of mental hygiene
unit in the District Health Depart
ment and retention Of the PSYCHE
atric clinic in the. Juvenile Court.
In letter to the District Com
missioners, the committee express
ed the opinion that mental
hygiene unit was more important
than ever during a war period
when psychiatric problems are
greatly increased" 1t pointed out
that the health division had worked
for such unit for many years.
The letter, signed by Miss Eliza
beth Harvey, health secretary,
pointed out that the committee is
the Advisory Board for 81 public
