This week.-Mrs. very day, in

called Matinee Tomorrow" and
Whittlesey House is the sponsor.
Matinee Tomorrow may not
be the most pertinent title pos
sible for Warehouses latest major
work, which deals with the past
so years in the theater, but when
you write books that frequently
who knows when one will run out
OF titles?
It is what is in the book that
counts, of course. and story-teller
Morehouse has made a compre-
hensive drama history out OF
hundreds of warmly human anec-
dotes.
His approach to his theme is
that of a good reporter who knows
that while fact can, and do, make
history books, the most readable
ones are fashioned around human
beings. Matinee Tomorrow" is
built around the most glamorous
names of the last half-century
and the best way to emphasize
the authors scope is to point out
that the index runs full 80
pages.
That many pages of index
means prodigious industry which,
dressed up in an agreeable style.
Is statistical assurance of an easy,
agreeable book

Another effective trick which
Morehouse picked up in his years
of being a drama editor and
critic is that of knowing how to
dress up any text with pictures.
He has done a remarkably artful
Job in this respect with page after

over which one can mediate for

style among modern matinee
idols.
It is interesting to note, too,

Insurance Interests NAREB Head
Busy Cutting Down Cries Over
Social Security Bill Split Milk

New York (LPA)-Some plain
talking by President Theodore H.
Maenner of the Natl Association
of Real Estate Boards is causing a
lot of stir in housing and real
estate circles.
The chief of the real estate
lobby, on the eve of passage of the
low-rent public housing bill, told
the annual dinner of the New York
Association of Real Estate Boards
that "The industry itself should
have done something worth while
about the general housing situation
so years ago, then perhaps the de-
mand for public housing would not
be so insistent in some quarters. ("
He criticized his audience of real
estate men for "holding aloof,"
and being "too busy with their own
affairs" to become civic forces. He
termed the New York realtors
politically impotent."

Rules Committee Clears
Bill For Higher L. S. Pay

Washington.-The House Rules
Committee cleared the way for
floor action on a bill to raise the
salaries of the 244 top officials of
the federal government.
The measure would increase the
pay of Cabinet officers from $15,-
600 to $4,000 a year, and under
secretaries of departments from
$4,000 to $4,000. Assistant sec
retaries and many other "subcab-
met" officials now getting $4,000
a year would be raised to $4,000
President Truman, whose salary
was raised from 5000 to $100, 900
last January, requested the higher
salaries in one of his first messages
to the S1st Congress. He said they
were badly needed to recruit and
keep top-flight men in federal SER
vice.
The government reorganization
commission headed by former Pre-
sident Herbert Hoover strongly
recommended the higher salaries.
