As| @ matter of fact, however, under his leader- | ship the motion picture industry has fallen to & very-dew standard. The decent thing for him te do is to resign. ‘high offici | cials, including even Presidents of the Demani delivered ii have given employment to many “ghost writers’’—clever fellows who actually pre- pare the speeches for the big shots. Most of the speeches of leading offi- United! States, have been written in recent years by these professional “ghost writers.” It's an old_ trick, From_ time . im- emorial alleged personal interviews with celebrities have been_ prepared «in ad- vance by knowing reporters and published as ances of the celebrity concerned. The same is true of most of the various testimonials for this and that which have appeared as advertisements. An amusing and somewhat embar- vassing incident occurred in 1932, when Franklin D, Roosevelt and Al Smith were candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination. It appears that both had com- missioned a group of “ghosters” at Colum- bia. to prepare speeches for them. When delivered it was discovered that both speeches contained identical clauses. Other similar instances have occurred. Once former President Hoover and Huey Long used identical phrases in public ad- dresses. It_is declared that in one of the late President Coolidges’ speeches was found verbatim a clause from a standard encyclopedia. The prize example of the ghost writer’s handiwork was exhibited re- cently when two administration supporters delivered addresses which were alike in their entirety. So, when you hear a flowery speech in future it may not be unkind to refleet that while you hear the voice of Jacob, the oration may have been written by the hand of a “ghosting” Esau. HOLLYWOOD PROMISES CLEAN-UP There are good reasons to believe that the motion picture industry means _ busi- ness this time in its deelaration for cleaner movies, says the St. Petersburg In- dependent,. Formerly such declarations could not be taken seriously. They were solemnly made, for example in 1930, when the movie moral code was written, but were conveniently forgotten just as soon as a flurry of protests had blown over. This time, however, a decision to allow exhibi- tors themselves to cancel pictures against which there are protests on moral grounds is a sign of a definite change of mind. This ruling, made in Hollywood where screen executives are discussing censorship with Will Hays, head of the organization, means that in any community where there are concerted protests on moral grounds to the showing of a particular - picture, aj theater man who has contracted to exhibit that’ picture may omit its exhibition with- out obligation for its rental. This answers the objection of the exhibitor that he has been trapped between two forces, the movie trust, on the one hand, which forces him to take the bad with the good, and the patrons, on the other hand, who may rise } up in arms as they have done in Phila= delphia. . « . Meanwhile, the sponsors of this latest mové'to launder the’ films até’ distrtbutiig data to show how bad they are. One sur- vey states that in 133 sereen plays re- leased from January 15 to May 15, this year, there were 107 major violations of sex morality. The survey says that 26 of the pictures had plots built on illicit love, 13 were based “on plots or main episodes in which seduction is aeeomplished,” 18 characters lived in open adultery, 31 mur- ders were committed, five of them un- punished, 17 had gangsters in leading roles, and only 30 of the 133 were suitable for children or adolescents, ..

Their deci sion to allow individual exhibitors to turn pictures hack means that they haye~ac-| cepted the responsibility for being more careful about the produet in the first place. Too many pictures coming back would be financially embarrassing. A Florida man was arrested for mak- ing a device to run an electric meter baek- wards.

The Virginian has been on the warpath because, he was excluded from the list of senate conferees on the stock market control bill. He was so infuriated that it was reported he wanted to resign his membership on the committee. When thie democrats proceeded to organize the senate after their smashing victory in 1932, Senator Glass occupied an enviable position, By virtue of his long service, he found himself eligible for two pow- erful committee chairmanships. They were banking and currency and appropriations. * Glass Had Choice 'VERYTHING in Glass’ pubile ca-. reer pointed to his acceptance of the banking and currency post.
