official on charges of illegal pos
session of explosives in their drive
to halt the violence that has
marked the Southern textile strike,
They picked up John Howard

Police Watch Parade.
Authorities were dividing their
time between Investigating the re-
peated dynamiting of non-strikers'
homes and a parade. led by vet
erans, of Dan River Mill strikers
today.
The Union said the parade
similar to one held one week
ago-will be staged at the main
plant of Dan River Mills in near
by Schoolfield Village, which per-
nnits parades without special per-
mission.
In Danville, marchers need a
permit from the police. Mayor
Curtis Bishop banned demonstra-
tions because parade might
intensity feelings and possibly
lead to violence.
The Mayors action Immediately
was termed unconstitutional by
Emanuel Boggs, DanyiIle area
TWUA director. He compared ii
with the bans on parades Of
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City, N. j.. in the 3os, when the
CIO was attempting to organize
plants in New Jersey. The courts
overruled Mayor Hague.
Some $50 strikers. wearing por-
tions of military uniforms
marched at the head of the pa
rade at Schoolfield last Friday
without incident.
The latest dynamiting in the
-week-old strike which has
idled some $4,000 Southern textile
workers occurred here last night.

out.
The dynamiting followed by less
than 20 hours the tossing of an
other stick of dynamite into the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John p.
Turner. The blast killed their
dog and damaged the house but
the family was not injured. Mrs.
Turner is non-striker.

Come Fill the Cup" which
finds Warner Bros. in a generous
mood with regard to your time,
runs almost two hours. In that
interval. it goes into the subject
OF alcoholism. No one needs to
be told that this is big, complex
subject, and the Warmers are con-
f1dent also that it is a timely one.
Like the drunks it deals with.
however. it runs into rather long
intervals of zy-mindedness and
a tendency to babble. From the
standpoint of drama or life, one
Of the minor tragedies of alco-
holics is that they also are bores.
This characteristic should be
guarded against by sober people
making movies about drunks.
The half-new Cagney in the
fllm based upon a novel by Harlan
Ware is a newspaperman. among
whom a tippling type does oc-
casionally show up. Cagney's man
Is an extremist. brilliant when he
is not blotto. blotto when he is
expected to be brilliant.
In the early part of Come Fill
the Cup" he is shown drinking
himself out of a job, out of the
life of the girl he loves and straight
into degradation. Starting in the
cozier bars. albeit plain ones, he
plummets through the dives into
the gutter and finally into the
DIT. ward of large city hospital.
His descent is rather dramati-
cally pictured, with Cagney giving
a convincing performance as the
chap whose drinking is disease.
x x Il
1t is when he sobers up, sets
himself to the shattering test of
redemption, that the picture loses
both speed and force. This is less
the fault of Cagney than of his
script writer's. who have given him
the distasteful job of initiating a
tough newspaperman whose mind
is being continually made up for
him by others.
In this phase of the story, Gag
ney gets his old job back, rises
to the city editors desk, and sud-
denly finds himself detached
therefrom to rescue the publishers
nephew from the Demon Rum.
Since this unfortunate chap is the
one who married Cagney's girl,
the latter obviously owes him very
little.
Conscience, however, impels him
to undertake the job, which leads
him into maze which is not 60
ing to be described here.
The underlying theme of Come
Fill the Cup" is deadly serious, of
course. but Director Gordon Doug
las. has thoughtfully provided
many a spot of comedy contrast.
He has faced the fact, for instance,
that in some phases of their dis.
ease alcoholics are funny as we'll

line was overlooked or allowed
