She has a half dozen entries in the coming Northridge show. See where Frederick Feher heads Symphonic Films, Inc., and will make 30 musical shorts this year- , j Feher is the man who produced "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”. He made the film for $45,000 and it netted U. F. A. about a million dollars profits. Though produced in 1919, tne film is still in demand today. Only | one known print remains in existence. The original negative is said to have disappeared. Even though she is maid to Film Star Franciska Gaal, Maria Pados must return to Vienna for lack of an immigration quota number. Miss Gaal is a kind employer, however. The star (you’ll see her next in “Paris Honeymoon”) will continue her maid’s salary until the girl can find another job in Hungary or get a quota n um^ r allowing her to return to the United States.

One accusation which can justly be leveled against the radio world is that it has produced few new and original stars. All of which suggests that possibly the broadcasters might well take a tip from the legitimate stage and establish something similar to the summer theater where new players and i ideas are tested much as in a laboratory. Radio goes into a summer slump each year but fails to

capitalize on this as a testing period for new talent. In only one field have the airwaves contributed to building up the ranks of entertainers, and that is among vocalists. Dorothy Lamour, Harriett Hilliard, Margaret Johnson and Jessica Dragonette are among the comely singers who got their start in front of a microphone. Both Miss Lawrence and Miss Hilliard are also in movies now.

LEWIS DEMAND FOR (CONTINUED FROM TAGE ONE) congress probably will end before . midnight. The senate was sum-1 moned to meet at 9 a. m., CST., today in the leadership's speed up drive for adjournment. The house, taking adjournment hurdles in its stride, stopped work six minutes before midnight and did not resume until noon. Senate uproar centered around a provision inserted in the $375,000.000 flood control bill by Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barki ley. D., Ky. It was accepted by the senate on first consideration without arousing much interest and the house agreed to the Barkley provision without prolonged deb

bate. But when the bill was lirought up last night for final senate action it was challenged by a handful of Republicans and Democrats as an unwarranted invasion of state's rights. The senate stumbled into that unexpected controversy after congress finally had enacted wagehours legislation, scrapped plans tor emergency assistance to railroads, and carried the $3,753,000,000 recovery-relief bill almost to final passage. Final action on only four major bills now is delaying the last gavel tap. l The senate passed the wages and I hours bill by voice vote at 5:30 I p in., after the house had approved it by a vote of 290 to 89. i There were indications as the ' flood control-state’s rights contro- ' versy developed that several seni ators planned to assail the provisions of the Barkley amendment to i the bill. The disputed paragraphs I would give the government possesI sion of all titles to dams, reserI volts, electrical power rights and 1 other developments under the bill. I provided that the government i would assume all costs of financing the projects. The bill is so written as to make the assumption of government responsibility for all i costs of flood control retroactive to 1928, and would provide for refill- ! bursement to states or sub-divi- ' sions of sums advanced since then Heiress at Four < !

Young Heads i Nickel Plate Board Seeks Constructive Role in UpBuilding of Railroads; Pursues Policy of Business Frankness > Robert R. Young, who lias risen to i prominence in the railway field as co-owner, with Allan P. Kirby, of the major interest in Alleghany Corporation's railroad holdings, was 1 recently elected Chairman of the ■ Board of the Nickel Plate Road. His election fills a vacancy that has ex- ; isted in that office since tiie death . of M. J. Van Sweringen in Decernr ber, 1935. Mr. Young, who is 41 years old, is a transplanted Texan. Although ’ his home is in Rhode Island, lie ' spends most of his time in Cleveland • and New York. He and his associate, i Mr. Kirby, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., ■ acquired the former Van Sweringen holdings in railroads and Cleveland real estate fiom the George and Frances Ball Foundation, of Muncie, Ind., for $6,375,000. Since that acquisition Mr. Young has been devoting all of his time to strengthening the properties, and, particularly, to simplifying an intricate holding company set-up. Absenteeism has no place in Mr. Young's business philosophy. When he makes an important investment in an enterprise, lie likes to interest himself actively in the undertaking and share the management responsibilities. The railroads in which Mr. Young and Mr. Kirby have important interest include, besides the Nickel Plate, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, the Pere Marquette and the Erie Railroad. Their investment in these properties was prompted by their wish to have a constructive part in the upbuilding of these roads, with Mr. Young taking the active role. Besides heading the board of the Nickel Plate, Mr. Young is a member of the board of the Chesapeake & Ohio and the board of the Pere Marquette. Mr. Young’s ancestry goes back to pioneering Texas. His maternal grandfather, Robert Moody, journeyed to Texas by wagon in the days when to be caught unawares by the Indians was almost a commonplace occurrence. He is the son of D. J. Young, banker of Canadian, Texas. Canadian is Robert R. Young’s birthplace. The fourth generation of the Young family now controls the First National Bank of Canadian. Mr. Young is of medium height and of ruddy complexion, with grayish hair. He is quiet and unassuming but has an easy manner in conversation and knows the trick of making himself clear by sprightly illustration. His frankness about himself and his activities marks almost a new high in business candor. His wife is the former Anita Ten Eyck O’Keeffe, of Williamsburg, Va„ a sister of the widely-known artist, Georgia O’Keeffe. I hey have a daughter, Eleanor Young.
