Muni plays the title role and Karen is his moll. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer Hollywood — After all these weeks of arguing with Will Hays and the New York censor board, Howard Hughes will release his gangster picture, “ScarfacS," under Us original title. Hughes went to a lot of work and spent some thousands of dol lars In his efforts to please Hays and the eastern censors. He changed the tittle of the film sev eral times and shot retakes on a number of scenes. But still these gcntclcmcn weren't satisfied. So the young millionaire pro ducer chucked the whole works and is bringing out the picture m its original form whether any one likes it or not. One prediction is that the pub lic will like it—just as they would like other things which Hays and censors force produc ers to eliminafc. True to predic tion, “Scarface" probably will be \ the last of a long run of gang j iter films. It is just about the ul- | iimate in such a form of enter- j tainment and until someone j comes along who can top it. there is little sense in filming any more | such pictures. Unlike most types, each under world film must surpass the preceding ones to be successful. J That has been the history of gang films since their start. Those which hare been success ful have been outstanding. The mediocre ones have failed at the box office. “Scarface." according to its prelude, was made to show the true conditions in America today siid to ask the government why ’nd how long such things cre to He permitted. Ercry scene in it is said to have been taken from a real life incident. That, of course, doesn't in "ludc the romance woven In to make the picture conform with I movie standards. The rtory is that of » ruthless joung gunman who has ambitions to control the underworld of an entire city and he will let noth ing stand in his way. regardless of who or how many must be lulled to satisfy his ambition. Paul Muni, in the leading role, kills his chief in order to aid another in getting control of the gang. Then he begins to disre gard the new boss—steals his girl i Karen Morley) and disobeys his orders to stay out of another gang’s territory. The new boss tries to have him put "on the spot,” fails and In turn is shot on Muni’s orders. Throughout it all he is given the utmost loy alty by his lieutenant, George Haft, whom he kills in the end when he find3 him with his sis ter, who lias secretly married him. The sister in turn is killed try ing to help Muni fight off the cops. At that the gang leader turns yellow—he can't go on any more. The entire cast of the picture does an excellent piece of acting —Muni as the rising; young gang ster, Raft as his chief lieutenant, Karen Morley as Muni’s girl, Ann Dvorak as his sister, Vince Bar nett as his “secretary” and Os gcod Perkins as the gang chief tain.

Ured" FRENCH QUIT NEW SPELLING Paris — (.UP) — The movement to simplify French spelling along phonetic lines has just suffered an other defeat. For many yeHrs, the small and scholarly magazine, "Revue Philo logie Franchise," advocating the simplified system, published all Us articles In this manner, but today It has returned to the academic orthography. In explaining this change It states:: “Without giving up the opinion that academic spellin'; is incoher ent and that it should be reformed we shall hereafter return to that form of spelling. The founder of this magazine, which formed a nucleus for the movement, was the late Leon Cle dat., former dean of the faculty of letters at Lyons and the author of an etymological dictionary. Among the changes that he practiced were the substitution of f for ph, s for x when such is the real sound of the letter, the dropping of h in the th combination cf Greek de rivatives. and the omission of un sounded letters. \ MESS OF SPRING GREENS Frcm Fortland Oregonian Time amends all, and the old comes into its own, and is new again and has the approval of the elect. We are thinking especially of dan delion greens. Certain people whom we shall charitably refrain from designating, used to tilt their noses at mention of a mess of dandelion greens, and express their wonder ment concerning the uncouth appe tites of the commoners. They would shudder delicately to consider that they rubbed elbows perforce with a peasantry that found Its consolation in a dish essentially plebian — a meadow weed, and nothing more. But we observe with a not unnatural gratification as one who aforotime has polished a dull kitchen knife tc fair silver, in the collection of a mess of dandelion greens, that health and dietetic authorities of note now prattle, at column rates of compensation, of the availability and benevolence of dandelion greens —the first edible herbage of the season, and, moreover, plentiful and wild. Time amends ail. What was once thrift is now the fashion. Orandmothers who went about at robin time with wicker baskets and their trusty case knives seeking the juvenile dandelion wherever it might be, could not foresee that science and the mode must one day approve their frugal, honest industry. All that thevknew, in their grandmother innocence, which closely approached the high er realms of wisdom, was that a mess of greens in the early soring I of the year was good for a body, j and that with h trifle of salt pork or bacon, and vinegar brewed of wind-fallen apples, the dandelions seemed to them and their mcn-folk to be elevated to genuine gastro nomic desirability. In the moon of the spring plow ing. it might be, grandpa would bo bound to express himself as having a .sort of a hankering for a good mess of greens, seemed like. It was far too soon for best tops, and no body ever grew spinach then. But in the south pasture, beaten by rain and drenched with sun the new verdure of dandelions might be found in abundance. And of this weed they had much comfort, in their primitive, untaught, rational way. It appeared then most provi dential that dandelions should put forth at such a time, betwixt winter and spring, when nothing else was in bearing. me story tens also that it was as greens that dandelions first came to this western country, of which they were not native. There was a doc tor. so it is recounted, who had two pale daughters, and hi whose family the dandelion legend persisted ad mirably, A mess of dandelion greens in season, so he reasoned, would work wonders foa- the girls, because the dandelion not only was a food but one of nature's mor dependable simples, as well, intended for the toning of the system in the early spring of year. So he wrote to the old folks back home wherever his origin may have been, and they sent him an en velope in which were contained the feathery, plummed seeds of the dandelion, and these he planted with his project in mind, and doubt less with half a wish for himself. In this manner the weed was loosed and a very competent weed it is, but before his memory is targeted by reproach it should be considered that the dandelion would have reached us in any case, soon or lste, and that it does afford greens. Th daughters? Nobody seems to remembe r. What is a weed anyhow? The question has been answered often enough, but the answer will bear with repeating. A w'ced is only a persistent species of vegetation for which mankind has not yet found a use. And a dandelion, by this reck oning, blossoms midway between the weeds and the beneficial plants, partaking somewhat of the nature of both. It makes a good mess of spring greens. Yet it is a weed. And it makes also, where the field rlo|x»; sweetly to the rtver, the field of the cloth of gold. So one cannot be quite ce.tr.in about dandelions. the tin test The .‘mallest fog particles have ' Vrn measured by the Massachu setts Institute of technology, it wu found that 2^000 of them rould tie i 'sr'd on the head of an ordin* «ry pm. • • Nat So Fast.
