Nearing the close of a long and highly successful tour, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne are in town| today for lish’s in two seasons. The famous couple will present S. N. Behrman’s translation of

“Amphitryon 38,” by Jean Giraudoux, tonight and tomorrow night.

Whorf to Appear

Patrica Burke Ziegfeld, only daughter of the late Flo Ziegfeld and

the actress, Billie Burke, surprised Hollywood with the announcement of her engagement to William R. Stephenson of Norfolk, Va. He is a

dance instructor at the exclusive Beverly-Wilshire Hotel.

The couple

(shown above) will marry in June and on their return will live in

Beverly Hills.

Indianapolis has played an important part in the careers of both these performers. For it was at English’s that Miss Fontanne made

her first appearance in “Duley,” the George Kaufman-Mare Connelly | comedy which first brought her fame.

Ann Sheridan Cast in Lead

Times Special HOLLYWOOD, April 17. — Ann| Sheridan was signed today by | Walter Wanger for the leading] feminine role in “Winter Carnival.” In lending Miss Sheridan to Mr. | Wanger, Warner Bros. has favored that producer over three others who also were seeking her services.

OLLYWOOD, April 17.—Although his manager-father is the last one to admit it, a new child star is hovering over Movietown. Coy Watson Sr., unlike any other screen parent, dislikes making glowing predictions about Bobs Watson, but the reason is that his loyalty is divided. After all, there are four other busy Watson actors.

Delmar, 12, and Biily, 15, are working in “The Young Mr. Lincoln” at 20th-Fox. And any day now they and Harry, 16, and Gary, 10, will have fat roles in the new Frank Capra picture, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” Bobs, who is 8, may get into that one, too. but just now he is playing one of the two top roles, with Lionel Barrymore, in “On Borrowed Time,” at Metro. It’s the biggest part that any Watson ever had, although there are nine children in all and they have appeared In some 1600 motion pictures in 25 years. Coy Jr, who's 26, began at 9 months and became a leading juvenile in silents. But none of them had the opportunities for dramatic performances that now are being given Delmar, who has 120 picture credits, and the increasingly popular Bobs.

HE latter recently had a couple of notable premieres in one week—"Alexander Graham Bell” and “Dodge City.” Bobs’ death in the glorified western provided the emotional climax of the picture. In the Bell biography he had exactly the same task, and in one scene, by repeating only one word, he turned in as poignant a bit as you are likely to see on any screen, any time. For audible testimony of this, just listen to the snifflings and nose-blowings of the audience. After Spencer Tracy got the Academy Award for his performance in “Boys’ Town,” he wired Bobs Watson that half of the golden statuette belonged to him. A lot of bigwigs in Hollywood seem to have felt much the same way about it, for lately the youngster has had more roles offered him than he could play.

The text is taken from the Bible and from Negro folk lore, and tells of the Israelites’ escape from E gypt.

MINERS’ HOMES DRAB, BUT MEN SUPPORT LEWIS

Library, Pa., District Shows No Hint of Disorder Nor Picketing.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

LIBRARY, Pa. April 17-—This

one of the main highways that radiate southward from Pittsburgh. A few miles away is Carnegie, but there is no direct relation between Carnegie and Library, despite the fact that the Scottish steelmaster, Andrew Carnegie, amused his declining years by giving away libra= ries. Here at Library is the idle but well-kept tipple of Montour Mine No. 10. It is the largest coal-pro-ducing property of the Pittsburgh Coal Co. which is the largest coal company in the world.

Miners Rent Shabby Homes

Among the company’s appurtenances are many long rows of shabby houses, with rickety fences and bare yards. And each has some kind of

private annex about 100 feet in the rear. These are the “company houses,” occupied by the miners who work—or worked—for Pittsburgh Coal, and are rented to them for $12.10 a month. Half the rent is deducted on each semimonthly pay day. One of the dreary houses is the residence of William Bell, chairman of the “pit committee” or grievance adjusters, for the United Mine Workers. Mr. Bell was receiving visitors informally, in his stockinged feet and no necktie.

They're in the Middle

The Bells and 377,999 other miners’ families are in the middle of today’s most menacing industrial controversy—the shutdown of mines

cause the operators and the United Mine Workers’ leaders are still trying to agree on a new labor contract. “Sure, I've met John L. Lewis,” said Mr. Bell. “Most of our men never saw anything but his picture. But you can just write it down that there's no question about us all being back of him. Most of them understand the issue, too. We want a closed shop everywhere—we've got the same thing now in Pennsylvania —because we don’t want Bill Green or any other A. F. of L. fellows hornilg in on the United Mine Workers.” A dozen miles away at the Coverdale operation of the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corp. much the same sentiment came from Mearl Fenton, president of Mine Workers’ Local Union 5085.

No Desorder in District

There is no disorder nor hint of it in this district. The mines are not picketed. They are simply “down” under the union's rule of “no contract, no work.” Economic pressure from the miners has not appeared. The company stores are still offering credit to the men who want to buy from them. Nothing has been heard of any company intention to evict the miners from their homes and it is the supposition that these company relations will be allowed to drift along until there

LaGuardia Asks Roosevelt To Aid in Settlement

NEW YORK, April 17 (U. P) — Eastern cities looked to President Roosevelt today to effect a settle-

ment of a deadlock between bituminous coal operators and miners threatening industry and essential services. Informed sources, however, said they did not believe Mr. Roosevelt would intervene for several days at least. In a telegram to the President asking his good offices in bringing together operators and the United Mine Workers of America, Mayor F. H. La Guardia said an emergency already confronted New York City and that soon every city in the East would be in a similar position.

ATLANTIC AIR LINES WAIT U.S. APPROVAL

BALTIMORE, April 17 (U. P) — Operations Manager C. H. Schildhauer announced today that PanAmerican Airways was ready to begin regular Trans-Atlantic plane passenger service as soon as the Government approves. The Yankee Clipper, Pan-Amer-ican’s giant flying boat, landed here yesterday afternoon after a 11,017 inspection flight to Europe and return. Mr. Schildhauer said the flight was perfect in cvery detail. The clipper carried 22 passengers ‘and crew members, “Flying the Atlantic presented us with no new problems,” Capt. Harold E. Gray, flight commander, said. “Our flights across the Pacific prepared us for every condition we met on this journey.

COLORADO USING SCHOOLS’ CASH TOPAY PENSIONS

State Services Impoverished And Payments to Aged

Still Fall Short.

Times Special DENVER, April 17.—The Colorado Assembly, desperate in the face of a threatened shutdown of state institutions, has just passed a bill diverting to their support 65 per cent of the state’s annual contribution to local school districts for common school purposes. Thus, confronted with the choice of possible starvation for convicts and the insane and payless days for their keepers, or new state taxes, or penalizing education, the legislators decided upon the latter. The emergency was created by the enormous drafts upon state revenue for old-age pensions, under the $45 pension amendment passed two years ago and reaffirmed by the people last November.

Activities Impoverished

The old-age pensioners, buttressed behind the $45 amendment, have impoverished other activities.

Two years ago the pension amendment took 85 per cent of sales taxes and liquor taxes—revenues that had gone about 50-50 between pensioners and other welfare clients. State finances were then generally in balance. But the 85 per cent provision took, in essence, all the money that had gone to general relief, and devoted it to old-age pensions. Relief was reduced and the Legislature sought to finance it out of the general fund. The burden was too great, and the State's deficit steadily: ine creased. When Governor Carr, Republican, took office last January he faced a real emergency.

School Bloc Fights

Governor Carr decided he would not ask for new state taxes, but would turn to the state income tax that had been enacted to provide state revenue for local school districts. This is a replacement tax—school districts could not get state money without certifying they had cut lo=cal property taxes by the amount of the state revenue. The school bloc fought hard. However, there is the old-age pene sion bloc still to consider. Against average awards of about $40 a month—Iless private income— pensioners have been actually ree ceiving $26 to $32. There are now 39,000 on the rolls,
