This is not an editorial This personal appeal from
for help-rom 1t is addressed to every individual
who believes do that trade unonsm is ideal to be
put into practice that its success is one OF the greatest bull
Warks of safety for democratic way of life.
The past months I've been doing quite little speak
ing before non-abor groups What strikes most forcb
that there lot of thoroughly people who have
completely cockeyed idea Of what unonsm is and
cepton whatsoever of what it They aren't deter
minedly ant-abor for get into forum discus
and iron differences they usually
able and generally admit they hadn't had all the facts.
But can't dodge the fact that there real job to
be done to explain the aspirations and aims OF organized
labor 1t isn't job expect the other side to do for
US 1t isn't job for the daily press It isn't up to non
labor people to hunt up the facts.
1t is up to the individual trade unons 1t up to you
and to me. do my best-but am only person and
neither my writings my voice big enough to reach
all the places knowledge of organized labor needed
l want help-from you.
My plan is simple 1t doesn't require an organiza-
ton set hours great preparation just needs devo
ton to the ideals of trade unionism and willingness to
bear witness to that ideasm to put it
1t is merely this. Talk to non-labor person each
day-and explain what you believe Tell them what trade
unonsn to you what organized labor has done and
is trying to do and for whatn the words of your
leaderst stands Pick each day and encour
age those to whom you talk you when they hear
charge against labor Don't defend the individual labor
when you know he is wrong-bu do explain the aims
of true trade unionsts You alone in your community
scotch such rumorS and tell the facts.
Then to this add the personal example Show by your
actions how your union training has mode you better
citizen Put your pledge of nodiscrmnaton against
bers of any group regardless of creed color into
effect in your daily life Fulfill scrupousy every of your
civic duties In every group to which you belongbe it

to accept responsibility than unframed
Remember organized labor judged by pronounce

of John L." upon which Crosby
is hooked deals less with the ring
battles which the old champ fought
than with his greatest and most
losing fight, that with alcohol. 1t
was known as the Demon Rum and
John Barleycorn in those rather
more f1orid days and is so referred
to in the script. 1t still is Irish
whisky in these simpler, more abrupt
days.
That sort Of slant to the script
Is the thing which gives a man a
casting hunch, namely w. c. Fields.
Fields does not look like a pugilist,
but as whisky fighter he has de-
veloped the worlds most famous
caulifower nose, voice that has
become the most perfect imitation
of satisfied gurgle in the history
Of voices, and a fame of which
he Is more proud than John L. ever
was of his prowess in the ring or
anywhere else.
, The only shortcoming of Fields
as a representative of John L. in
Crosby's picture Is that, unlike the
old champ of the prize ring, he did
not lose his fight to John Barley
corn, Demon Rum or whatever its
name may be.
He won it, but maybe he could
act as If he had not. He is a pretty
good actor, If Crosby is listening
Not the least punch drunk!
If Vice President Henry Wallace
ever writes movie script-instead
of a speech-about the common
man, the odds even now are 100
to that the part will be played
by Gary Cooper. In the most un-
common fashion, Cooper has so es-
tablished himself in Hollywood as
the common man that no one else
ever occurs to producers, even as
substitute. Henry Fonda was
somewhat the type, but he Is not
around now and Cooper has ex-
elusive domain. >a'
p Latest evidence of his strangle-
hold on the character is that in con-
nection with the casting Of "a Bell
for Adano." Cooper is regarded by
goth Century-Fox as a natural for
the part, all others as unnaturals,
at least until it becomes impossible
to induce him to play it.
He is an extremely busy man,
what with his acting as the cinemas
busiest free agent and his new side
line of co-producing for Interna-
tional Productions.
But Maj. Joppolo is a part for no
actor to turn down. Cooper won't
if he can avoid it.

Most everybody seems to have
heard that the movies are doing a
right smart business these days
United States weekly ticket sales
have shot over the 100 million mark
and 50 everybody having some
thing to sell to the industry wants
his pound of f1esh-plus.
Producers are frankly alarmed
about the price situation. Stage
plays are now bringing their weight
in platinum for film rights, and
novels are rapidly getting into the
stratosphere, especially those by
established writer's.
Recent asking price" Of So, 900 900
for "The Voice Of the Turtle" cur
rent Broadway stage hit, is only
an indication Of the predicament
the studios have gotten themselves
into through frantic bidding for
rights to established plays and sue
cessful books.
One producer pointed out the
other day that a successful season
on Broadway may see 10 hit plays
while Hollywood must turn out pic
lures week after week and those
pictures must have stories. Some
movieland efforts look as though
stories were the last things the
producers thought of, but never
theless the films turn out a far
greater percentage of hits than does
Broadway.
1T Is remarkable that we do SO
well under existing circumstances, .

most b pictures have been dropped

basis and a good story. Those stories
are getting harder and harder to

Scarcity of material and holdur
prices are chief reasons why MGM

thus develop more story material.

Flynn filings a ready fist, to be sure,
but has lost too many night club,

to be accepted as convincing in the
role of the great heavyweight of the
late 10th century. Even if he had
the acting talent of a Paul Robson,
much less the build of the great
colored artist, he would not do for
Crosby's hero.
That gets Flynn out of there, but
it still leaves us where it has left
Crosby.
Another big gent, in pounds, who
works for Paramount as does the
baffled Crosby, is Sonny Tufts. He
will have to be disqualified, how
ever as having too aristocratic a
