LOS ANGELES, March 5. Jimmy Cagney has red hair.
Otherwise in real, as opposed to reel life, he looks exactly as
he does on the screen. And he talks and acts no differently. He
is nervous, abrupt, incisive, with an accent that connotes early
life along the Boston waterfront, more than it does his Irish
ancestry. In short, Jimmy has all the ear marks and manner
isms of rather a tough egg, and in spite of his success and fame,
we have an idea that is what he is.
..,
Down at the City Hall, Jimmy is accusing Warner Brothers
of breaking his contract, by forcing him to make five pictures
a year instead of four, as Mr, Jack Warner promised. Mr. Jack
Warner, who took the stand in all the vigor and opulence of
returned prosperity and ripe middle age, accuses Mr. Cagney
of breaking the same contract, by refusing to appear in any
other pictures for Warner Brothers under any circumstances,
unless he was given more dough, in fact "a lot more dough."
"Dough, not fewer pictures," is what is bothering Jimmy
in Brother Warner's opinion. ,
Through his brother Bill Cagney, who for six months has
been acting as his agent and manager, Jimmy as emphatically
denies this and maintains, he is only worried about his reputa
tion, his art, his standing, and more than four pictures a year
would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, goose in this
instance beinp, the metaphorical term for the dear people, who
plunk down their nickels and dimes at the box office. (Which,
incidently, isn't so BAD).
. A . . .
All of which is quite amusing and diverting, far more so
we imagine than attending the matinee performance of Edith
Wharton's "Old Maid" at the Biltmore theatre, which would
have cost us $2, whereas attending the Warner-Gagney drama,
cost us nothing more expensive than pushing through tho
standees at the door with a borrowed press badge. Moreover,
we had the pleasure of sitting timidst a fine assortment of per
fumed and over-dressed movie stars, we were able to recog
nize none of them, but the boy on our left with rolled down
socks and side burns was kind enough to point out a very
alluring miss, in a cerulean blue ensemble he said was Joan
Blondell's "stand in." However that may be so much elegance
and fragrance gave an added touch to the court-room atmos
phere. We were interested in Mr. Jack Warner, who was on the
stand when we entered. He was a symphony in dark brown,
including his attractive and well molded face, brown suit,
brown tie, brown shirt of a slightly lighter tone, and a good
healthy tan, through which, the rich red blood flows. He was
near the end of a long cross examination, but was the picture
of coolness, nonchalance and self possession. He had that un
mistakcable but elusive "something" that usually accompanies
the financially secure and physically vigorous man. One felt
no matter what happened in that court room he would never
be flurried, never lose that poise he lived among the Olymp
ians, and this court business really was rather childish and
amusing.
Not so the Cagneys, Jimmy and Bill. Bill followed Mr.
Warner on the stand, he was pale, nervous, not quite at his
oase, rather reminded one of a little; boy who had done some
thing naughty and had to face teacher after school. Not that
he stuttered or stumbled he told a pertectly clear and co
herent story expressed himself ratb well in fact, but one
felt instinctively he was not quite sure of himself or of his
ground. Jimmy was nervous also, and while his brother testi
fied kept running one finger around his collar, as if it were
choking him a trifle.
No doubt there is a reason other than the native calibre of
theso two prominent Hollywood figures and that reason we
surmise is the Cagney boys are in bad. We may be entirely
wrong of course the judge may rule in their favor, but our
hunch is he won't. At any rate, the case is interesting in bring-

wood since the movie industry hecame one of the largest and
richest industries in the United States.
.....
Not so long ago Jimmy Cagney was doing the "twice a day"
circuit and glad to get $100 a week. Overnight, so to Rpeak, he
popped into prominence and fame. And with fume and promin
ence came money more than he had in his wildest moments
ever dreamed of. His salary bounced up to $1400, anil the con
tract that lie or Brother Warner violated, called for $3000 a
week, while the option two years hence stipulated $4500! not
a year, or a month a WEEK I
.
With that money came many other things. Swimming pool
palaces, Rolls Royces, and of course, an agent and manager
the latter job being filled by brother Bill. Now a movie agent in
Hollywood is a little like a walking delegate in a water front
labor union, it is up to him to do something and keep on
doing something. If he doesn't, then why give him a salary
the old vicious oirele I
So Brother Bill figured he had to make good, and proceeded
to do so in the direction of lipping Jimmy's pay check. Not only
lipping THAT, but serving Warner Brothers with various and
sundry COMMANDS, such as control over how many pictures
Jinimv should make; who should direct him, what the story
should be and who should make up the supporting cast. Yes,
all that came out during the afternoon session, in one wav anil
another.
In short and to wit, all that sudden affluence went to
Jimmy's head, and to Brother Bill's as well. they decided they
had the world by the tail, and all they needed to do was,
pull it
hereupon, up popped the devil m the shape of the Warner
Brothers, who had had experience before with just such de
lusions of grandeur, and instead of listening further to what
THEY had to do, proceeded to tell the Messers. Cagnev what
they (T1:LD do, i.e., toe the mark or jump in the lakel
All of which, as above indicated, may or may not be correct.

SMOKE COSTS REAL MONEY
P-lrV mtu'''
Smoke In the Atmosphere over a
city injures the health of every man,
woman and child In the city. It in
crease.! the cost ot living. It Imposes
a tax of from
four to twelve
dollars a year on
every resident. It

growth of plants
and therefore
makes food more
expensive. Exper
iments carried on
at Leeds, Eng
land, showed that
lettuce grew four
times as fast In a
clesr district as It did In a smoicy
district.
Smoke In the atmosphere absorbs
the ultraviolet of sunlight. Baltimore
health department found there was
60 per cent more ultraviolet light In
the country than In the city. Chicago
health department found tnere was
a loss ot from 43 to 51 percent of the
ultraviolet light In Chicago on smoxy
days.
New take Pittsburgh. Famous for
smoke and soot. And grime and gra
well, famous that way. The Mellon
Institute studied the pall and made
some estimates of the results. For in
stance the proper stoking of furnaces
would prevent a loss of fuel due to
Imperfect combustion of about $2 80
a year for each person In the city.
O'Connor who conducted the Ins;l
tute's survey, estimated that the exTa
expense of cleaning clothes, laundry
and dry-cleaning due to the pall In
Pittsburgh Is 4.10 a year for each
person. The expense of repainting,
repaperlng, replacing hangings, re
pairing residences and other build
ings and washing windows soiled by
smoke amounts to $2.28 per annum
per person. The loss due to damage
of merchandise In stores by smoite
In the air Is $3 a year for each person.
The pall also diminishes the amount
of daylight and Increases lighting
bills. O'Connor placed the economic
loss from smoke In , Pittsburgh at
about $20 a year for each person.
The U. S. Public Health Service
found that 296 tons of smoke and
dust were deposited In Washington.
D. C, a comparatively smokeless place. ,
per square mile per year, 154 tons of i
which was carbon and 142 tons ash.
In Pittsburgh, the Mellon Institute I
Investigation Indicated, tho annual !
deposit of dust amounts to 1,031 tons
to the square mile. The O' it look Is1
even darker in Baltimore, where 1,800 !
tons of dust Is deposited over a square :
mile In a year. Salt Lake City Is fair

per square mile per annum. If you

Insignificant trace of smoke comes
from the cigarette stubs the weaker
sex throw away. Or sojourn in South
ern California of Southern Florida
where there la no smoke at all to
speak of, save the seasonal smudge
whey they are beating the orange
groves.
As a question of economy, comfort
and health, would It not be wise to
spend, say, ten cents a year per per
son, on, a systematic program to elim
inate at least the great excess of
smoke pollution, which is quite un
necessary In any case and Intolerable
In a residential district?
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Flowers for the Blondes
German chamomile flowers are
good for rinsing blond hair. T.iIb
rinse, I find, gives the hair a real
tone and It Is not dangerous either.
(M. C. R.) '
Answer Thank you. Chamomile fa
la not so good for the purpose as an
Infusion of the dried chamomile flow
ers still better a percolation. That
Is, boiling drives off the pleasant odor
or aroma and part of the medicinal
value, just as boiling ruins coffee

O. F.)
Answer well, let him Itch then, if
he Is so blamed modest he can't bring
himself to mention It In a private
letter. Correspondents who don't mind
mentioning the nature of the trouble
are welcome to the monograph "Pru

tus Is medlcalese for Itching without
visible cause. The monograph also
deals with old fashioned itch, ery

tions where the cause Is evident.
Vitamin A
Will you kindly give a list of foods
rich in Vitamin A. Also, when you
speak of cod liver oil for those trou
bled with what the doctors call rheu

Year after year the Inevitable sign
of Spring for New Yorkers Is not the
robin tugging at the Central Park
worm, but rather the annual blurb
of fashionable tailors. It reads about
the same, the burden being that all
men shortly are going to crack the
cocoon In raiment that will pale the
satins of the old minstrel parade. We
shall fare forth, tra la. In mustard
tone vests, plumhued pants and helio
trope Jackets. There will probably ne

throats, dotted with ox-blood red, and

downpour of a Loch Lomond boat one
time with various impedimenta strap

telescopes, cameras, magnifying glass
es, etc. But his coat Is what I'm get
ting at. it started modestly around
the neck, but on Its way downward It
spread to the circumference of Plca

almost everything. Including a kiddle

I was thinking today of the bird on
the aisle who used to snoie loudly
through the song "Please Go Away
and Let Me Sleep 1" when the reper
toire show came to town. And when
the performer suddenly stopped, call
ed for the bouncer and, the disturber
was roughly propelled to the back of
the house, he would begin to sine the
chorus in a clear, high tenor. All of
fell for the '"plant" like a hod of
brick. Fun at the crossroads.
Gene Ahem, the folksey cartoonist,
who has America's finest set of etch

little rural retreat to vary life from

later he cancelled the Invitations by
