AMUSEMENTS. White Carries Broadway Methods to Hollywood light Held Best Time for Production of Shows—Second *Scandals™ for Films Finished. (With George White, Broadway producer, substituting for Mollie Merrick to prove to you that he hasn’t “gone Hollywood,” but is doing his best to make Hollywood “go Broadway.”) BY GEORGE WHITE. HOLLYWOOD, March 7 (NAN.A). —The lads in the know here on the West Coast said that I would “go Hollywood” this year. I introduced Broadway methods of putting on a show here last year, and, now that I have finished my second “Scandals,” I can truthfully say that I'm still very much Broadway and that Hollywood went Broadway for me in shooting this film. In New York, when I produce & show, we work at night. This is the logical time to work in show business, because 90 per cent of the audiences see the show at night. We worked in New York from 6 until 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning. As the production progressed, the time was cut down until the final dress rehearsal ran from 8:15 until 11 p.m., the regular running time for the show. Called at 3 in Afternoon. In the film work at Fox Studio, I called the company at 3 each after- noon and we worked until several scenes were finished. Sometimes we quit at midnight and other times we worked until 2 or 3 in the morning. The only complaint I had was from & few Hollywood critics who took me to task for working the “Scandals” company at ungodly hours. Yet these same few critics could be seen almost any night or early in the morning at some night club gathering news. The very ones that pointed the finger of scorn at me worked all night them- selves. Night is the logical time to work, in my opinion. Students of history all agree that the most stirring events of modern and ancient history took place &t night. Great mass formations of troops took place under the sheltering cover of darkness in Europe. The most deadly loss of life in the FARLEY SKIPS LONG IN RICHMOND TALK Postmaster General Urges Young People to Get Into Politics and Back Roosevelt. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., March 7.—Urging young people to get into politics and to support President Roosevelt, Post- master General Farley last night ad- dressed a large and enthusiastic as- semblage of young Democrats and older party chiefs. He made no reference to charges brought against him by Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana, but Senator Harry F. Byrd, who introduced him, took a few flings at the Louisiana “kingfish.” “I left the battle scene in the Sen- ate just before the heavy artillery was turned loose,” Senator Byrd said. “You have seen the accounts in the papers. I tell you it is all hooey. +Jim Farley is as clean as a hound’s tooth. He had more to do with put- ting Franklin D. Roosevelt in the ‘White House than any other man, and he is going to have a lot to do with keeping him there.” Senator Byrd said there was an “open season” for demagogues in Washington and that there was a *“supreme demagogue” in the Senate. JABS NEEDLE INTO ARM FOR INATTENTIVE COURT Defendant on Unlicensed Medical Practice Charge Demonstrates Control of Blood. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 7.—Yogi Das- saunda Singh Roy was in court. The charge was that he practiced medicine without a license. | But the State, Roy contended, was mistaken about its allegations, and Just to prove his capabilities he of- fered to jab a four-inch needle into his arm to show that he could even control his blood flow. Judge Eugene Holland gave permis- sion for the demonstration, but sneaked out of the room while Roy ‘was jabbing the needle into his arm. ‘When the judge returned there was & needle in Roy's arm, but not a drop of blood was visible, spectators said. Later the court will rule on the charge. — D. C. PHOTOGRAPHER LOSES ASSAULT CASE| Judge Charges Pre- ferred Against Former Fred- ericksburg Councilman. By the Associated Press. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., March 7. ~Police Justice Henry Dannehl yester- day dismissed assault charges preferred against former City Councilman Wil- liam Allen Bell in connection with his church-collection-bag attack on Lewis Brown, Washington newspaper pho- tographer. Justice Dannehl ruled that Bell, brother of Edward C. Bell, accused wife poisoner, was “menaced and threatened and consequently justified” in his striking the photographer last December. Brown suffered a concus- \ sion of the brain. He was struck with a bag containing the collection from the services at the church Bell was leaving at the time. Dismisses ; by the Marketers of SETHOLINE CHFIELD SHERWOOD BROS.,INC. Great War was stopped at night when the British troops abandoned their position to the Turks at the Dar- danelles after thousands of English, Australian and French soldiers had lost their lives. In ancient times the Greeks and Romans believed that their goddesses and gods visited the world at night and great celebrations took place at night to honor the deities. Alice Faye, the blond star of “Scan- dals,” and Lyda Roberti, who is fea- tured in the production, are both Broadway girls used to working in the evening. Cliff Edwards, that grand trouper of stage and screen, has played big towns and little towns for so many nights in & row that it really hurts his eyes to go out in the daylight. Ned Sparks, the sour-faced come- dian whose looks make a grapefruit seem sweet by comparison, trouped the great Canadian wilds from Halifax to Vancouver for several years, playing night shows in all of the larger towns of our sister country. And Jimmy Dunn came -to motion pictures directly from the New York stage. Make-up Aids Photography. T think girls look more beautiful under the lights, because make-up takes to lights so well. Some of the alleged stars in Hollywood should be haunting houses during the daytime. But put them under flattering lights, get a good make-up man and a good camera man, and they photograph as great beauties. By working at night, the members of my cast are free to get plenty of exercise and outdoor life during the daytime. They are left free to enjoy some of the sunshine for which Holly- ‘wood is famous. * T like to have free time during the day to play golf and ride horseback. It keeps me fit and more efficient in my work. No, Hollywood hasn't changed me. 1 still use Broadway methods in pro- ducing a film, and shall not change.

P. Phof CHAIN TAX UPHELD Michigan Supreme Court Affirms Constitutionality of Levy. LANSING, Mich,, March 7 (P.— The Michigan Supreme Court has af- firmed the constitutionality of the State chain store tax. The tax law, enacted by the 1933 Legislature, imposed an annual tax of $10 on each store of chains oper- ating not more than three units, and graduated the fee up to $250 for each unit of chains numbering over 26. Total revenues under the law were estimated by officials at $171,409 since the law went into effect. STARTS TOMORROW DOORS OPEN 9 AM. PRECEDENT SEEN IN TEACHING BAN Married Workers. Rule Not Observed in U. S. Service, ' Says Dr. Johnsan. If the Board of Education declines to retajn married teachers in the Dis- trict school system or refuses to em- ploy them because their husbands or wives are employed elsewhere in the Government service, it will be the only governmental agency in the Dis- trict observing the rule. This statement was made to the board yesterday by Dr. Hayden John- son, president, who said he had been advised by Vernon West, assistant corporation counsel, that elsewhere in the District government the ban had been disregarded since the Civil Serv- ice Commission interpreted that part of the national economy act &s in- applicable to the District. One Section Applies. The, corporation counsel’s office in- terprets the second paragraph of sec- tion 213 of the economy act, applying to the employment of workers, as not affecting the District. The first para- graph, which refers to the reduction of personnel, does apply, saying that married employes whose spouses are employed by the Government shall be the first to be dropped from the rolls when reductions become imperative. The question was raised again when Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, said he had received through the Dis- trict Personnel Board a questionnaire inquiring the number of persons dis- missed under section 313 and the number now employed in the schools whose husband or wife is employed by the Federal Government. Henry Gilligan objected to answer- ing the questions on the ground that the law does not affect the schools. He was told they came from Repre- sentative John J. Democrat of Missouri, chairman of the House Committee on Expenditures in the executive departments, who plans amendments to the law to force its spplication here. Cochran announced sometime ago that as author of the act he knows that Congress intended it should apply e KEITH'S NOW SHOWING LAST DAY D. C., THURSDAY, Guild Player RUTH PERROTT, ‘Who has one of the principal parts .in Owen Davis’ drama “Harbor Light,” which the Drama Guild of Washington will present tonight and tomorrow night at Wardman Park Theater. here and if it does not now he plans “to put teeth in it.” Dr. Ballou said only one person was forced out of a job because of the married persons provisions of the law, although several teachers voluntarily resigned under the impression that they would be forced out anyway. CAR VICTIM WINS $15,000]oiats. Conductor Injured on Day Off in Crash Blamed to Rival Company. SAN FRANCISCO, March 7 (A).— John de Ferrari, street car conductor, won $15,000 yesterday for riding in a street car on his day off. That sum was awarded him by a Buperior Court jury for injuries suf- fered when the car on which he was riding collided with another. It was a rival company from which the ver- dict was won. De Ferrari, who works for the Municipal Street Railway, was riding on a Market Street Co. car when he was hurt. D MARCH 17, 1935. TEACHERS' RATING MEETING CALLED Action Planned March 15 at Conference of Board’s Personnel Group. Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, chair- man of the Perscnnel Committee of the Board of Education, has called a meeting of that group to be held on March 15 to take action on the re- quest for & new efficiency rating sys- tem for teachers. The case has been pending for nearly three months and a series of hearings has been held. The record of the hearings has at last been com- pleted and will be made available to members . of the board before the March 15 meeting. ‘The teachers’ unions and associa- tions are backing the plan to have the ratings limited to “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory” instead of using the present graduated scale of six classifications. The board yesterday approved a p 1 of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration to employ job- less teachers in an emergency pro- gram to help parents of shut-in chil- dren to help their children by home instruction. ‘The matter was taken up with the F. E. R. A. by R. L. Haycock, first assistant superintendent of schools, and was approved by Dr. L. R. Alder- man, education chief of the relief Mrs. Doyle told the board there are now 363 shut-in chil- dren in the District unable to attend school who are without instruction of any kind. Because of the coming Shriners conclave scheduled for the early part of June, high school cadets probably will hold their annual competitive drill in May this year. It is expected that a change in the American League base ball schedule will be made for the Shriners so that Grifith Stadium will not be available during the usual June drill dates.
