wrong idea about Bette and me ir the picture.” , That invisible man again! He ' stands beside the camera on every ’ movie set. ’ He has large ears and his ’ initials are W. H. ! It’s a rare thing to hear Adolphe ’ Menjou blow a line. On the “Case Metropole” set, we arrive just in time to hear him do it twice in a , row. i He has a long, fast speech to I make to Gregory Ratoff. It con- ■ tains a couple of Russian words ■ that are tongue twisters. i On the second blowup, Adolphe ■ whirls around, yells: “I’m a s-s-s-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!” Waving to us, he explains: “We’ve been trying to get this all morning. First one thing and then another happens." Director E. H. Griffith never gets ruffled. He starts the scene again, Menjou gets through his speech. . He is trying to get Gregory Ratoff to take hush money. Ratoff gives an imitation of be. ing sorely tempted. But he cries: “I’d rather have my blood turn to borsch than do a thing like that!” Just as Menjou swings into his followup speech, there is a plaintive meow from the background. It comes again. “Walt a minute,” says Griffith, still unruffled. “Will somebody please find that cat?” As high-salaried actors stand around, the heavy overhead of the picture ticks off a steady stream of dollars, a half dozen men poke into the darkness formed by the underpinnings of another set, calling: “Come kitty, com: kitty.” On the "High Wide and Handsome” set at Paramount, Director Rouben Mammoulian is telling Dorothy Lamour how to run into a scene, trip over the stone border of a walk and take a fall. She tries it uncomplainingly again and again. “All right,” says Mammoulian at last, "let’s do it that way.” Dorothy comes over to speak to us before the shot. She is supposed to have been running in the rain. Her face, neck, arms and hands are covered with a coating of glycerin. Also with smears of dirt. “Afraid I can’t shake hands,” she says, exhibiting a dirty palm. “Hey!” an assistant calls to me. “Don’t rub off any of that dirt. She needs it in Uiis shot” >

ORDER ARREST OF pnv-i’JT'VT- pi.-.E ONE, suit in a "bicod bath of unarmed workers,” did not learn of developments immediately. Union strategists and lawyers met hurriedly in Detroit and Flint to nrap a course of action. It was said reliably that the leaders were considering surrender an soon as the amount of bail was learned. Word of the court action was flashed to Detroit union headquarters, which informed Lee Preseman, attorney for the committee for industrial organization and one of the labor representatives working with General Motors men toward a basis for peaceful settlement of the strike. It wae reported here that Press--1 man gave Governor Murphy first 'information of the writ. In Conference (Copyright 1936 by United Press) Detroit, Feb. s—• (U.R) —General Motors corporation and the committee for industrial organization sent representatives into a third day of conference today under preseuhe from President Roosevelt tor settlement of their labor dispute. The main issue of discussions. It war? learned, again was the problem of who should represent General Motors workers, union and non-union, in collective bargaining. The CIO, led by its chairman, |

John L. Lewis, has made importtint concessions, a high source revealed, from its original demajid that hte United Automobile Workers of America. CIO unit, should represent all workers in all G. M. C. plants. General Motors representatives, up to the opening of today’s meet-, ing, remained adamant, William 9. Knudsen, the corporation's executive vice president, was reported by an authoritative observer to have taken a more conciliatory attitude thaji his assistants. Donaldson Brown. G. M. finance chairman, and John Thomas Smith corporation general counsel. G. M. C. appeared definitely to have accepted the union concession as a, basis for serious consid- ■ eration, however. C. E. Wilson, G. M. vice president in charge of labor relations, was summoned twice by the conferees. The unions modified demand was described authoritatively as i follows: | 1. The U.A.W. must be recog- . nized as sole collective bargaln- ' ing voice of workers in the 20 plants the union has closed by strikers. 2. The U.A.W. shall represent its own members in 49 General Motors plants not struck. This would conform to the first paragraph. of the recent LUYbey-Owens-Ford glass strike settlement. 3. General Motors shall not bargain with any other group during negotiations with the U.A.W. o Trio Os Thieves Remain In Jail The trio of alleged thieves, arrested Thursday in the couse of a general clean-up of criminal activities in the county, being conducted by Arthur E.
