ADVISES “SPEEDING UP” Former Professor, 80, Says Aged Need Goal for Work. NEW YORK, April 27 (7 —Dr. Lil- lten J. Martin, former professor of Stanford University, who is over 80 herself, said Monday that old peo- ple need to “speed up their tempo” to modern things and develop new inter- ests. She was a principal speaker at a meeting of the care of the aged section of the Welfare Council. “Old people,” she said, “must have a goal that makes them willing to get up in the morning and work. I believe that 80 or 90 years ought to be the hap- piest of one's life. But if old people need aid, it should be provided for them, and relief work should be ulti- mately a Government matter.” Marine Corps Orders Col. Rush R.

Columbia Players Present Byrry’s “Holiday.” 'HE Columbia Players were at their best last night in one of Philip Barry's noted contributions to stage lferature, “Holiday.” As presented before an audience of moderate size at the Wardman Park Theater, tBe play was performed with intelligence, speed (after the first part ¢f the first act) and a certain amount of genuine charm which often made it seem more pro- fessional than otherwise. Barring the skipping of lines here and the repetition of one or two words there, this comedy, which is extremely dif- ficult to interpret, strode along with that swinging gait which Miss Hope Williams initially immortalized, and not the actors—a happy state of af- fairs in non-professional circles. The actors, however, were glib in action, if not always in line. Out- standing among them was Dorothea Lewis as the clear-thinking Linda Seton, Robert Miller as her bibulous brother, George Odell as the finan- cially minded father (he read the finance news out of the sports sec- tion) and Willard Miller as the Johnny Case who will always be re- membered in the person of the late Robert Williams. Best among these was Miss Lewis— a natural, graceful and not-too- much-like-Hope Williams actress— and Robert Miller, who seemed more at his ease than all the others (ex- cept for Miss Lewis).

By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, April 27.—Two mo- tion picture studios apparently have determined to have settled, by court action if necessary, whether the studio management rules or accedes to de- sires of stars and directors. Marlene Dietrich, blond German- born st: James Cagney, tor, and D, C., Josef von Sternberg, director, who “dis- covered” Miss Dietrich, are under sus- %emiun, Paramount _employs Miss ietrich and the director; Cagney works for Warner Bros.-First National : Studios. Salaries Are Stopped. Von Sternberg left Hollywood for New York last Saturday, declaring he considered the story provided for his next production unsuitable. Miss Die- trich, siding with the director, refused to report for work yesterday under Richard Wallace, substitute director. Salaries of both were stopped with their suspension. Cagney was suspended yesterday after he demanded a $2.400 increase in salary. He had been signed under a long-term contract at $1,600 weekly. The actor refused to appear at a pre- | mier showing of his most recent picture scheduled for tomorrow night. He said he would leave Hollywood soon on a motor trip through the Canadian Rock- des, and unless his salary demand is heeded, will quit motion pictures and enter Columbia to study medicine. The two studios did not reveal whegher WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1932. .

DeMoll & Co., Twelfth & G THERE’S SOMETHING DIFFERENT abaut the flavor of CHESTERFIELDS—something about the blending and cross-blending of fine tobaccos —that gets to you, every time. THERE’S SOMETHING DIFFERENT about their mildness, too. It is the mildness that comes from the ripest, sweetest, mellowest Turkish and Domestic tobaccos. There is no bitterness in them . ..no harshness. THERE'’S SOMETHING DIFFERENT about the taste. It is that good, pleasing taste that comes from the right kind of tobacco, cured in the right way—cured for two years or more. It means that to make CHESTERFIELD Cigarettes, millions of dollars are tied up in tobacco leaf—but it’s worth it. THERE’S SOMETHING DIFFERENT about CHESTERFIELDS — THEY’'RE MILD AND YET THEY SATISFY!
