In 1930, there were approximately 200,000 more married men than wo- men in the United States. The !reason was merely that that many male immigrants had arrived who had not been able to (or being able, | weren't in any hurry to) send back to the old country for their wives. Immigration, of course, has fal- len off.

AND FURTHERMORE There are other reasons. The spread of birth control, as evidenced by the rapidly falling birth rate, left more thousands necessarily seek- ipg an interest in life outside the ‘)nliz\e. Contributing, too, was the at increase in housekeeping gad- gets, releasing women from dawn- te-dark household duties. And the rise of “cash economy'—a realiza- tion of the saving involved in hav- ing cash on hand to purchase from stores and companies that had no credit system ‘or made liberal dis- counts for cash, There is one other factor worth mentioning: Spread of the know- ledge among employers that for many jobs women were eminently better equipped and cheaper than men. The mechanical computation machine is an example. At this women were found to be more accu- rate, steadier, neater, less inclined to rebel against lack of advancement, and contented with less pay than were men. There are hundreds of other fields where the same rules were found to apply. The result: a greater demand for women. { 'No city picked at random can be said, at this point, to be typical And the people who expert the cen- Sus experts are not basing their con- | clusions on South Bend, Ind., where a special census has been taken But it is significant that in that city of approximately 100,000, there i dn dncrease of almost 1,000 women in the labor force since 1930.

HCLLYWOOD, Cal.,, April 10.—After my exposure to the quaint idea that the launching of a new movie is an occasion of state and ceremony (I refer to last week’s DeMillerdrama about the first day of “North West Mounted Police”) an antidoet was pre- seribed. 1 found mine on the set of a new little epic called “Dead Man’s Isle,” where the shooting proceeded as if it were a pleasure for all concerned—just as it used to be in the days of screen silence, before Hollywood became big business and the banks took over, The first startling item on the set was laughter. The set itself, and the story, were grim enough. Rochelle Hudson is a glamour bird in an electrified cage, or stockade, maintained by mild little Peter Lorre on a obscure Pacific island where he exploits paroled convicts to work his diamond mine. The set was the rear of Peter's house, and part of the electrified wire fence. Robert Wilcox, the hero, was talking through the fence, first to the friendly cook (George E. Stone) and then to Rochelle, Wilcox was dirtier, with smudge and glycerin perspiration, than [ WILLIAM HENRY HENRY WILCOXON DOUGLAS FOWLEY ET/@NNE GIRARDOT A 20t Comtury-Fox Picturs . > ALSO ALSO Sons of Liberty Cartoon—News RUMMAGE SALE By Susannah Sewing Circle, April 11, in Methodist Church Parlor.

But that part of it was al play-acting, quickly done and canned. Between takes (about an average of two minute apart) everybody found something to laugh about—and that included the director, a chap named Charles Barton, who came up the hard way from propping (1923) through assistant direction to director (1934). Barton | i | is unque. Although he stands only five feet two 3 the reception charming hestessess give thoug™Lful guests who bring gifts of delicious Van Duyn’ Candlés.’ Little attentions make you & "sust come” guest. Try il :?)au Dusy# y CHOCOLATES | VAN DUYNCHOCOLATE SHOPS i inches, he still does his own sounding off for “Quiet,” a task which man ytaller men leave to their assistants—and this is not to say Barton has no assistant. When a director persistently does his own “Quiet” call he is defying convention and ceremony. DeMille occasionally does, but generally this great work is left to subordinates, while the master concentrates on Art. Barton's other favorite expression is “Cut—print it!” When Wilcox mentioned they had finished 26 scenes before lunch, I was incredulous—but the script clerk and Barton verified the phenomenon. “Not important scenes,” said Barton. No reason to spend time on them.” Well, it doesn't prove anything. There’s no moral to point. It doesn't mean “Dead Man’'s Isle” is going to be a better pic- ture than “North West Mounted Police.” The chances are it won't be nearly as good a picture—after all. DeMille spends a lot of money on his movies, and “Dead Man’s Isle” has a 14-day shooting schedule, and DeMille in that time will be just getting up steam . for the long pull ahead. g But I was looking for an antidote to pomp, and “Dead Man’s Isle” provided it. There are no legends and traditions around the name of Charlie Barton. He never has made a “big” picture yet, although he has assisted on a lot of big ones. He made those “Five Little Peppers,” however, and—who knows? Maybe “Dead Man’s Isle” is going to be a knock-out, too. SRR RO “Just connecting shots.
