Louis Mattox, from Acklin
was on the Resolutions Commit

speech at the Convention.
The back drop of the stage
was very nicely decorated and
the aims of the CIO was spelled
out. Annual wage and $4,000
pensions were standouts. Worth
fighting for.
Phillip Murray, President o1
the CIO, really made nice
speech and told the inside story
of Labor in Washington. A
grand man and the CIO is lucky
to have men Of that caliber.
The most hilarious episode of
the entire Convention was the
day that delegate Henslu, from
Atlanta, Ga, Strengthened Wal
ter Reuther out. He could make
a fortune on television. Please
read it.
The highlight of the third day
was the speech of Helen Ga

quote, she said that Imitation is
securely stabilized" She made
a brilliant speech and her
beauty did not detract from the
scene.
Wednesday night at the Cleve-
land Hotel the Region 2-B ban
quet was held. ] would like to
compliment all the folks that
worked so hard to make it a
huge success. 1t was our best
banquet and we were honored
to have at the front table all the
top brass of the Union.
Tom Burke, our good friend,
was POSTMASTER and a good job
was done. President Reuther,
Macy, Livingstone, Gosser, and
Charles Ballard all spoke brief
ly and to the point. l want to
quote Lowell Goerlich in a very
true and significant statement
when he said, 1--WE are sitting
with men of destiny"
That evening Ollie and Frank

Van johnson has become adept
enough at the projection of foolish
romantic comedy that he deserves
better than he usually gets. MGM
has not done right by him again
in Grounds for Marriage" which
opened yesterday at the Capitol,
but nobody can say that johnson
doesn't give it the old college try
No man could do much, though,
in the direction of plausibility
with a script which asks him to
favor Kathryn Grayson over
Paula Raymond. and that is what
this one does.
johnson is cast as a young
doctor with first wife trouble. He
is happily engaged to the daugh-
ter Miss Raymond of the famed
doctor who has taken him into
his office when the eX-wife (Miss
Grayson) turns up. regretting her
hasty divorce and bent upon get
ting back her husband. He shows
some signs of knowing when he
is well off, but this is just an
ordinary movie comedy and you
can't expect originality.
You can be sure of the destina-
ton of Grounds for Marriage"
long before the shrewish singer
played by Miss Grayson comes
down with loss of voice sub
consciously induced by her hus-
bands rejection of her and he
undertakes her cure. The cure
involves being nice to her so that
she will believe it's love and her
subconscious will let her sing
again.
Robert z. Leonard directed
Grounds for Marriage" a task
which couldn't have put any great
strain on his fount of artistic
inspiration. He did manage to
find place for a couple of num-
bers by the Firehouse Five-Plus-
Two and several operate selec-
tions by Miss Grayson. One of
these. for people who just can't
get enough of her, is a duet with
herself and another is a fantasy
"Carman" out of a dream. which
Johnson makes amusing. He also
has some other funny moments,
most notably in the scene where
he makes a speech belittling the
common cold while coming down
with one himself.
This is light one, all right,
but its froth is the foam on a
dime beer; no champagne bubbles.
