THE NEW YORK SCENE
_— ——
By PAUL HARRISON, NEA Service Writer.
NEW YORK.—A little crowd gathered in front of
the Paramount theater as a police motorcycle escort
whirled to the curb and shooed away the line of
taxicabs with a shriek of sirens. Into the ample
vacancy drew a blue Rolls-Royce, its grotesquely
high top testifying a mellow age. Attendants flock
ed to open the door. Out stepped a tall, dark-skinned
man in a white suit, then a small dark-skinned
man in snappy, Harlemesque attire. They faced
about to assist a medium-sized dark-skinned man
wearing a full beard a well-tailored brown suit, and
an air of dignity.
“It's the Prince,” breather the onlookers. “That
prince from Africa who's been down to see Roose
welt.” . . . “Don't look s 0 princey in that get-up,
though; he shoulda wore them trick pants like
when his picthur was in the papers.”
It was, indeed, the Prince. His Royal Highness,
Ras Desta Demtu, son-in-law of His Majesty Haile
Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia, King of Kings, De
fender of the Faith, Conquering Lion of Judea, was
going to thie movies.
Not to the regular theater, but to a private pro
jection roon: for a special showing of “The Sign of
the Cross.” It seems that Prince Desta Demtu's
hobbiés ar:s military work, horses, religion (he is a
Coptic Christian), lions (there being a great many
‘of the latter at the royal palace at Addis-Ababa),
and motion pictures, Since all of these things were
combined in the DeMille spectacle, Paramount ex
ecutive figured that his highness would enjoy it
immensely .
- And he did. Ensconced between Ato Paulos Man
amano, Ethiopian Consul General at Jerusalem
(the tall man), and his un-named interpreter (the
little man), Prince Desta had a grand time, and
wept copiously during the sad parts.
The Conquering Lion of Judea and his son-in-law
don’'t get to see many pictures in their ogyn coun
try, it was explained, but when they do they insist
that it be & religious spectacle. By royal command,
“Ben Hur,” “The Ten Commandments’ and “The
King of Kings" have been shown at the Addis-Ababa
thus far, the projection mpachine and films being
transported all the way from Port Said.
Mere mention of that long trek still brings shud
ders to sound men who filmed the coronation of
Haile Selassie three years ago. It seems that fuel
depots previously had been established along the
way, but that a band of natives broke into them
one by one, drank all the gasoline, and held hi-de
ho with remarkable abandon.
Following the private showing Ras Desta Demtu
consented to be interviewed, and the interpreter
asked for questions, Did the Prince enjoy his, re
ception in Washington? Would he recommend this
picture to the Emperor? Did he enjoy the musical
score? Did he intend to visit Harlem? Would he
like to live in America.
The queries were relayed; the Prince beamed and
spoke at considerable length in Amharic. The inter
preter listened attentively, then said: "“His Highness
declares that he enjoyed the picture very much.”
And with that His Highness and his entourage
jdoparted.‘ the. dapper little secretary looking proud
;Qlad impericus, the Prince bowing and grinning his
Bratitude for courtesies received.
. Theater notes: Walter Hampden isn’'t concerned
about the health of the Broadway theater next fall,
nor is he vorried over the suspicion (now rapidly
‘settling into a conviction hereabout) that all the
‘good writers had been lured to Hollywood . . . IKor
the third time in two years the veteran drama
‘tician is bound on a transcontinental tcour, esp:2c
dally through cities of the South and West which
‘haven’t had any stage plays since the advent of
the movies. The play will be “Ruy Blas,”” by a man
who never wrote his stuff with one eye on its film
_potentialities—a man named Victor Hugo.
~ Grand opera folk are strengthening their liaison
‘with the stage. From historic Central City, Colo
gi*‘do. it is announced that Gladys Swarthout is soon
to sing there in a revival of “The Merry Widow.”
?find now comes Charles Dillingham, planning to
Wuce a musical show in the autumn, and admits
that he wants to engage Marion Talley for a role
in it . . . Miss Talley is in New York and plans
to resume her career in one field or another, having
left her Kansas farm and chickens. Her hair is
;bobbed and curled now, and she seems, for a change,
_sophisticated and completely self-sufficient.
i.?'wOld-timers, remembering the premiere here of
““The Merry Widow" in 1907, will still tell you how
%whel Jackson sparkled as Sonia, how Donald Brian
wmphed in the role of Danilo, and how the piece
ran for 52 weeks before it took to the road, where
it has been heard from periodically ever since,
Brian, it is reported, is in fine fettle taese days,
still able to waltz as gracefully as ever, and yearns
1 play the part just once more on Broadway. . . .
‘Bettina Hiall, by tke way, the star of “Music in the
“Air,” in New York last season, will be Sonia in the
Central City revival.
;ln a city proverbially alpoof and inhospitable tc
the average stranger within its gates, it is likely
that Harry Rabin, newsboy, has built up more good
M for Gotham than all the welcoming committees
and official receptionists put together.
~ Rabin isn’t exactly a boy; his next birthday wil
t his 57th. He stands at the Lexington Avenu¢
entrance to Grand Central Station, sells papers as
i?ighmlng speed, directs strangers on their way
minds their luggage, holds their dogs and carries
&m almost continuous conversation. There's
something about him that invites chat and confi-
.He believes he knows thousands of people
by name— even traveling men and buyers who
gome to town at long intervals.
Gone Tunney, who has an office nearby, is one of
R n’s friends. They talk about the Tunneys, Con
cut place. Betty Worth, one of the most daz
zling of the young stage players, tells him about the
er theater. John Cobden, the big realty man,
always assures him that business is looking up.
1 any leaders make wry remarks about reform
vs. Sportsmen give him tips on horses, though he
&% bet. William F. Kenny gives him cigars.
: paper men hurrying on assignments tell him
%tbr they're off to the latest kidnaping or new
deals in Washington.
These and many more, when they have" time,
pause to exclaim over the Ilatest pictures of the
Rabin children. The girls, one 10 and one 7, already
are acrobatic dancers and are in demand for pri
wvate entertainments. The baby boy is a natural
born hoofer, according to Gene Howard, veteran
chorrs trainer who's coaching the girls. Rabin isn’t
sure he wants them to go on the stage, though. He
himself trouped with a Gus Edwards show thirty
_years ago, but gave it up to go back to selling pa
pers—and meeting interesting people.

TYPICAL OF ATHENS’ CITIZENSHIP
| The cooperative spirit shown by the bus
iness and industrial interests of Athens in
|the support of N.R.A., measures, as prom
|ulgamated by President Roosevelt, is
worthy of commendation and emulation by
the citizenship of all communities.
During the crisis of adverse business
conditions, our people have stood stead
fast, stemming the tide of a reversal in
commrcial affairs that has never been
equaled in the history of this nation—mnot
even in war times. They met the condi
tion with o determination to overcome its
many perplexities, and through the seige
of the past four years, phoenix-like, they
hase risen above the ashes of distress. |
Commencing today, most of the business
interest will inaugurate shorter hours and
better pay for their employes which may
result in the employment of additional
lhelp, contributing much to the decrease in
number of the unemployed here. 1
Under the plan of the N.R.A,, it is be
lieved that the nation is facing an era of
prosperity of potential proportions and
far-reaching in its effect in the solution of
the unemployed situation that has causedi
much suffering among millions of citizens.
The loyalty of the citizenship of this nation
has been put to the acid test, but they have
[fought as hard against the depression as
they did in the World war for the protec
tion of their homes and thir country.
We are living in a new era and under
conditions that have never beem experi
enced before; the success of business in
commercial and industrial lines depends
absolutely upon the activities and cooper
ation of our people; if we succeed, good
and well; if we fail, we will have the con
solation of knowing that we did our best—
and that is all that could be expected of
any true and loyal citizenship.
A HITCH-HIKING RECORD
All hiteh-hikers are not criminals. Some
hike because their purse is empty while
others take the road for the novelty there
is in traveling around the country without
the expense of transportation. A young
man in Ohio has just completed a tour of
27 states in 22 days, traveling over 5,000
miles, thumbing his way without the ex
pense of so much as a dime for bus or rail
road far., being picked up by gen
erous hearted motorists. Now he is asking
for recognition of some kind in the way of
a jewel or identification for having travel
ed the country over, safely, as a common
hicth-hiker. His escapade may be worthy
of some mark of distinction, but in our be
lief, he should be recognized as a self
made “beat,” and turned over to the au
thorities for legal action.
It is said that there are fewer of the
wanderlust type on the road these days
than has been known since the advent of
the automobile. That condition, no doubt,
arises from the failure of autoists to pick
up road tourists, So many crimes have
been committed by hitch-hikers, motorists
have grown suspicious of such characters
and pass them by without hesitating. And
well, they should. One never knows what
is in the mind or the purpose of the
stranger on the highway. These people
may be desrving and a “lift” would mean
much to them, but on the other hand, they
are liabl to be of the criminal type and
seeking an opportunity for robbery and
murder, if need be, in order to secure the
personal possessions of the autoists. To
pick up these people is a hazardous prac
tice and one from which immunity of
crime is not guaranteed.
CENTURY OF PROGRESS EXPOSITION
From those who have visited the Cen
tury of Progress Exposition, now being
held in Chicago, it is learned that the fair
‘is one of the most spectacular that has
ever been held in this country—not even
)the World Fair, held in 1898 equals it in‘
‘exhibition and buildings.
| It is estimated that to see and inspect
13]1 of the exhibits, it would necessitate
'walking over one hundred miles and spefnd
ing practically two months getting around.l
Every known exhibit typical of the states‘
in this country, besides that ofi foreign na
tions is elaborately displayed. \
However, the attendance has been far
greater than was anticipated by the pro
moters of the fair. People from every
state in the nation and from practically
every foreign nation have flocked to the
“big show” since its opening, and from
present prospects, it is believed that the
attendance will continue and show an in
crease hefore the close on the first of No
vember.
The Century of Progress Exhibition de
serves to succeed; the people of Chicago
have invested millions in buildings and im
proving the grounds. They have convert
ed that sectoin of the city into a fairy gar
den of attractions that has never been
equalled in this country. The displays and
exhibits are worthy and deserving of in
spection, entertaining and educational. It
is a worthwhile exhibition and deserves
the liberal patronage that has been ac
corded to it since its opening.
The artificial ice industry’s largest item
of expense is neither labor nor materials,
but the cost of the coal used ! produce

machine,
Enough telephone wires are used in
New York City to reach to the moon and
back 35 times.
Fifty years ago, the annual death rate in
New York City was 30 per 1,000 of popu
lation; today, it is about 12 per 1,000.
Aprroximately 24,000,000 tons of lime
stone are used annually in the United
States, chiefly in the smelting of iron ores.
DID IT EVER
OCCURTOYOU - -
A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
We are, indeed, grateful to
those responsible for the tree
trimming in “No Man’s Land.”
The limbs that extended over
~ the sidewalks have been cut,
In fact, these limbs were re
moved several days ago and after
the rains of last week, pedestrians
were saved from unexpected show
er baths as they traversed the
walks through the one time his
toric spot of “No Man’'s Land.”
Those who had been ‘“shying”
this near cut to the postoffice after
rains, can now rest assured that
they will be thoroughly immune
10 shower baths from boughs of
trees that formerly extended over
the walks in this section of the
city.
We are not informed as to
conditions in other sections of
the city. Shaded walks are’
blessings to communities, but
. cold shower baths are not
welcomed, especially in pub
lic.
We are quite sure, however,
that if pedestrians are experienc
ing similar trouble as that which
existed in “No Man’s Land,” if
they will notify City Engineer
Jack Beachbam, he will have the
cause removed and a cure estab
lished. He is one of the most ac
commodating and capable officials
that has ever held a post within
the city government. However, he
‘did not do the job in ‘“No Man's
Land.” That was done by individ
ual property owners, whom we
esteem highly and appreciate sin
cerely as our friends.
FRIEND: “How did wyou
come to lose your job?”
EX-OFFICE BOY: “Mine and
my boss’s grandmother died on
the same day.”
When it comes to writing
prose, poetry and verse, Dud
ley Glass, editor and columnist
of the Atlanta Georgian and
Sunday American, is no slouch
—not by any means.
Somehow he grinds out those
things that appeal to readers of
newspapers and to find in his daily
column something just a little bit
better and a little different from
the regular style of columnists, it
is refreshing to readers. Such a
column is an, attractive feature in
any newspaper, small or large. It
4s the kind of a stuff a great many
readers like and they look for
Dudley Glass’ column, even atgeqd
of sports, murders or martial
law developments in Georgia, and
that should be a sufficient excuse
for Dudley’s “Our Town" column
appearing in Hearst's best news-
{ The day the National Indus
trial Recovery Act became es
-1 fective in New York, a man
| who had been out of employ
ment for months, possibly
more than a year, secured a
job.
The same day the parent be
came a father. He was soo happy
over securing work and the com
ling of the little girl to his home,
he named her *“Nira,” taking the
first letters of the government act
‘to mane up the name as an ap
preciation of what it meant to him.
Aptly and in his own style of par
aphrasing in prose, Dudley Glass
wrote:
“What about our new love, Nira?
Is her name to rhyme with ‘era’?
or shall we take Cousin Ira as the
proper rhyme for Nira? Anyway,
she is a maiden wih a lot of trou
ble laden, bearing worries by the
lohd for the folks who frame a
code. How can one of minor pow
ers be kept working after hours?
Experts thus the- answer give:
‘make him an executive. Soon

Labor Night and
Day on NRA Code‘
! By RODNEY DUT,CHER
Banner-Herald Washington
Correspondent
WASHINGTON,—Some at least
of those white coilar workers about
whom Gen, Johnson has been so
much concerned aren’t getting the
benefit of the 40-hour week.
The workers in the general’s own
department, for instance, who
have been fixing it so the rest of
us won't have to stay on the job
so long, frequently 'toil far into'
the night. Lights blaze from the
Commerce Building, which houses
NRA, until midnight and later. I
The general himself works as
hard as anyone. Most key officials
are at their desk from 8 or 9 in the
morning until 7 or 8 at night. Vis
tors are so numerous and confer-'
ences s 0 frequent that most can be
accomplished in the twilight hour,
So many of these officials return
after dinner and may not get home
until 2 or 3 in the morning.
And of course the executive must
have his assistants, secretaries and
stenographers around.
The results is that a lot of lovely
girls are becoming thin and pale,
One slender little NRA blond has
lost four pounds lin two weeks, and(
it's going to be a crime is she loses
any more,
This goes on especially in
NRA, the 'Agricultural] Adjustment
‘Administration, the Public Works
Administration, the R. ¥. C, and
other agencies actively promoting |
the New Deal. But it’s also true of |
many regular departments and
bureaus which are operating with
new duties and curtailed staffs,
Frayed Nerves Common
Frayed nerves and dazed brains
are common.
| No one works harder or longer
than Gen. Hugh Johnsen, Up late'
the night before, he was “buggy- |
eyed'”—as one of his aides de
scribed it—when he opened the oil
hearings.
Johnson, after the first witness
was ‘through, called two seperate’
witnesses and successively turned
them off with the assertion that‘
they were appearing in the wrong]
order, After whispered conferences
with I.egal Adviser Richberg and
Deputy Administratort . Simpson,
Johnson realized that they had
come on in the correct order. So
he called them back to finish their
| speeches.

. Johnson, not realizing that the
}f‘irst speaker had presented the
‘code' halted Sinclair after about
two minutes and sail he must wai:
luntil the code had been offered.
TSinclair, confused, left the hall,
Vwhen Johnson called for him again,
someone else had to read the Sin
ciair statement.
| Business of Being Tough
When an industrialist gets
®ough, Johnson still knows how to
get tougher.
. He called .in representatives of
the shipbuilders one night when an
impasse had been reached on their
code,
The shipbuilders found Joseph
Franklin and John P. Frey, labor
leader represcnting the shipyard
workers, waitin2 in Johnson’s of
fice.
‘What, they demanded‘ were those
birds doing there? Johnson stuck
out his chin and roared:
“You fellows have got ' a wrong
idea in your heads. Now, get it
out. This is a conference of ship-
Dbuilders, shopworks and the gov
ernment.”
That was all—except that the
I feel closer to my cigarette
each time I smoke
I really can’t help it. After all,
one does develop a personal re
gard for a thing that comes in
such intimate contact with one’s
lips. And since I am a woman,
I do appreciate the fact that my
Lucky Strike never offends my
fastidious sense of daintiness. Men

Preparedness!
‘shipbuilders accepted Johnson's
demand for a 32-hour week in
vards engaged on government con
;struction and a 26-hour week else
where and on repairs. Labor had
;demanded a 30-hour week and the
industry a 40-hour week.
