L A.MACHINISTS LOCAL 514 ODD FELLOWS' HALL Hollywood Sights And Sounds 8y Bsbbin Cosm HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July 22.—Charles Laughton takes his medicine manfully. He takes his press parties the same way. ‘They had one for him at RKO the other day, celebrating his return to Hollywood and, very incidentally, the fact that, for RKO, he would make a talkie of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Chubby Charlie, who reputedly shies from the press, was there table-hopping with ingratiating affability The affair was in the studio restaurant, large enough to hold all the hordes of cor- respondents and magazine writers, most of whom were on hand. Smokes and drinks and fancy fodder enlivened the occasion, as is customary. It was Mollie Merrick, the writer, who once remarked that a certain studio could do no business of this nature “except over the carcass of a turkey.” The present affair was no excep- tion. But Laughton did himself proud, the way he got around. Nearing 40, he still looks singularly juvenile and cherubic. He still dresses almost as carelessly as his famous character, “The Beachcomber” Not quite, though. He wore a grey suit that weeded pressing, a blue shirt, a striped tie. And he talked, and answered questions, and let himself be piloted from table to table with willingness if some bewilderment. Receiving a vote of sympathy on the ordeal, Laughton was re- minded of his recent stop in New York during which, from 10 A M. to 7:30 P. M, he gave individual interviews, one after an- other. The last reporter came in at'7, took one look;, and ex- claiméd, “You looks nervous—what’s the story?” With methories of Lon Chaney as an athletic “Hunchback” of the silents, much given to swinging from gargoyle to gargoyle on Notre Dame’s towers, I had to find out how Laughton, who “Come and Get It>° Has a Special Meaning Tasty food, efficient service and an atmosphere fruly home-like sound the old call of “Come and Get It"” . . . «PERCY’S carries considerable tonnage, planhed to negotiate same, He seem- ed unworried at the prospect, talked blithely of doubles—or der- ricks—in case such athletic feats should be required, and summed it up with: “We're going to make it as Victor Hugo wrote it, so it should be a different picture from the old one.” Those income tax troubles? Oh, no, they hadn't kept him from Hollywood. They were all settled, and in his favor hap- pily, after he arrived in New York. “The Beachcomber.” . . . oh, he'd been more than gratified by its reception in this country. Stopping over in Chicago briefly, he had taken a taxi to his hotel, another to a_ Turkish bath, another back to the hotel, and a fourth to the station again—“and each of those taxi drivers congratulated me on the picture. Very interesting. College men? Oh, no—these were ghiys who talked from the side of their mouths. Another Tom Collins? Oh; T mustn’t . . . well, all right, then, but no more. . .. I've got to go back to England right after this picture. ... Another Mdy- flower production. . .. We're doing “The Admirable Crichton” next. Yes, Mrs. Laughton will be in it. ... Oh, excuse me— there seems to be another table I haven't met. . . .” Curly hair tousled, he is off again. He is still there, grin- ning and table-hopping, when the bar is closed and the turkey is indeed but a carcass. He has taken his medicine manfully. ——NEWS Rev Glasse Is | Aboard Louise The Rev.

TIME CHANGE PLAN KILLED | & FOR PRESENT Coundil Fails_io Second Mofion-May Go on April Ballot (Continuea from Pnae One) di- ference in a matter of public im- terest.” Speaking for the union, Heisel said the miners were “unalterably opposed” to the change in time and had voted unanimously to that ef- fect. He said it would mean the day shift would have to climb the mine trail an hour earlier in the |morning at what he said was the coldest time of the day. Only a handful here appear to want the, change, he claimed, and suggeuted; that if the merchants and business men want to get off an hour earlier | in the evening they should go to| work an hour earlier in the morn-) ing. ; | Temperature Checked | Shattuck said the union's argu- ment that it is colder at 5 o'clock in the morning than it is at 6, or even 7 or 8, in the winter is false, | as he had checked U. 8. Weather Bureau records here for last De-| cember, January and February and ! found there was only an average of | .17.of one degree difference in tem- perature between 5 and 8 g'clock, Stender said the change. would| cause confusion at the mine because | the union’s . agreement with, the company specifies hours on “Yukon Standard Time.”, Frank Metcalf, original propon- ent of the change, said he had as- surance that all outlying camps in this_district, favored, turning. the clocks ahead as it would. put them on the same time as steamers call- ing af. their docks and end much confusion, Helsel argued thaf jf thbre really was any popular sentiment for the change. & petition would have been circulated to that. effect. Councilman Blake said.that “here is something for. the public good that the union. is trying to buck simply . because . the Chamber of Commerce is for it.” Vacations Very little else was done at last night's meeting. The Council de- cided that only. salaried employees of - the city. would have.vacatjons with pay.. Such employees put in many , hours of overtime without pay, it was.stated, while truck driv- ers and. other laborers have request- ed and heen granted pay at the union scale, with extra for overtime. ‘The men. being paid at the union rates may. take vacations without pay if they wish. Cement Situation L, C. Earl, Superintendent of the L. J. Dowell paving work here, asked whether the. city was, planning to pave the approach from Franklin Street to the City Dock, as the ce- ment situation in thé States is “critical” and his company would have to know the. needs. here at once. An application: for permis- sion to include the .paving in the present. project, has been sent to the PWA office in Portland, Mayor Lucas said and an.answer is ex- pected shortly. The .extra work would cost $2,680 and take 750 sacks of cement. Earl said the firm has , needs 14,000 to ACROSS 1. Diuminating device 5. Meager 10. The south- 1" 15 16. Bivision of the 17.

It is a hilarious talke of the com- plications which ensue when a New York theatrical producer, played by O'Brien, comes to'a Wyoming Dude ranch and assumes that a trio of stranded eastern musicians who dress up in cowboy duds while they entertain the guests are authentic cowboys. Taking the leader of the trio, played by Dick Powell, back to New York with him and launching him on a highly successful radio career as a cowboy crooner, he discovers his cowboy is really a Brooklyn youth who has never ridden a horse. | The double attraction, “Tough | Kid" and “Little Orphan Annie,” end tonight.
