ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Aug.17 (U.P) .—The three-ring theatrical {union row: Actors vs. actors vs. stagehands, was reopened today with new bitterness before the A. F. of L. executive council. | . The council’s recommended plan of settlement had been rejected, and union leaders were calling each other names. The possibility of an actors’ strike cropped up again, as well as a threatened mass walkout from the A. F. of L. by the whole body of movie, radio, vaudeville, legitimate and concert stage, opera, circus and night club performers.
The stagehands’ union, which had been considered eliminated from the fight yesterday along with the ‘strike threat, was back in it 4gain.

Gui Ignon was one of: the first. A Frenchman, he was under suspicion and jailed. He was put next to Miss Cavell. He saw her march to the firing squad. When he faced the camera in the movie sequence of the same scene, he broke down. Fernand Visele was butler to Brand Whitlock, the American Ambassador who interceded for Miss Cavell. He takes the same role in the film. William Yetta, who was a member of the ex-Kaiser’s ex-Uhlans, plays a similar role in the movie. He drilled 200 extras as German soldiers. Hoover Kicks In

Tenderfoot Gets Hollywood Break
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 17.—At least one young fellow today is thankful for another chance given him by Director Richard Wallace, who just finished “The Underpup.” ‘While ‘working with a group of 256 boys, he noted one youngster “blowing up” on successive takes. The assistant tried once more and then told him to get off the set. Mr. Wallace intervened. He took the boy to a quiet corner and talked to him. It was the first time the lad had been on a soundstage and he was nervous. Quieted, he returned and went through the sequences perfectly.

Those Mammy ; / / Songs Are ‘Out Times Special A HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 17.—“No Mothers” is the cry on the set of “The Star Maker,” movie now in production starring Bing Crosby. The movie is about the career of Gus Edwards, child talent purveyor of an earlier amusement era. There are about 50 children in. the cast, in dance and singing scenes. For each child there is a mother. Each mother is determined her child shall have a favored position or be given the opportunity of saying some lines. J Consequently the “No Mothers” sign has gone up. The mothers have been given a separate room where they can sit and wait for their offspring.
