“SUSAN AND GOD” MARKS
CAROLINA THEATRE BILL
Joan Crawford, queen of fashion
innovations, goes to the “King of
the Road” for help. That is, the
hobo and his bundle on a stick, is
the inspiration for her newest
handbag.
In “Susan and God,” now
screening at the Carolina theatre
for the last times today, in which
Miss Crawford co-stars with Fred
ric March, she wears some eight
een Adrian designed gowns, and
her newest pocketbook is carried
on an over-the-shoulder stick.
Attired In white flannel tailored
suit, the star has her handbag
made of blue and white checked
taffeta. It is tied to simulate a
small bundle, is hooked onto the
end of an ebony stick, and non
chalantly carried over the shoul
der.
If the fad catches on as much
as the other Crawford styles, Ad
rian declares the women of Ameri
ca will resemble “men of the open
road” on parade.
“TAMING OF THE WEST”
IS FEATURED AT BIJOU
Swing “jive,” the language of
the musicians, and “double-talk,”
the lingo of the vaudevilian, have
burst upon the United States and
captured the tongues of the nation.
But, according to Bill Elliott, the
popular cowboy star, the men of
the range have a language that is
every bit as colorful as the slang
of the more urban parts of the
country.
Elliott, who glories in Western
lore, brought up the subject dur
ing the filming of Columbia’s
“Taming of the West,” a Wild Bill
Saunders adventure, now at the
Bijou theatre, in which he plays
the stellar role. The script called
for him to refuse an invitation to
settle down with the answer;
“Can’t do it, I’ve got jackrabbits
in my boots.”
The current chapter of “Drums
of Fu Manchu” and an Edgar
Kennedy comedy “Act Your Ag^'
are included on the program.
“LUCKY CISCO KID” TO
OPEN AT ROYAL TODAY
O. Henry’s colorful caballero is
at his fightin’est in “Lucky Cisco
Kid,” the adventure film opening
today at the Royal theatre. Hand
some Cesar Romero has the fea
tured role in the picture as the
smiling, romantic and most dar
ing figure of the Old Southwest.
Heralded as the best of the se
ries, "Lucky Cisco Kid” boasts a
strong supporting cast including:
Mary Beth Hughes, Dana An
drews, Evelyn Venable and Chris
Pin Martin.
The thrilling action begins at the
start of the picture when Cisco
and his amusing pal, Gordito, ride
into an Arizona town which is be
ing terrorized by raiders and
"bad men.” Framed by a crooked
judge, adored by two jealous wom
en and hunted by a hundred ene
mies—what a spot Cisco finds
himself in! But how he works out
of all these difficulties and lives to
laugh at his enemies, promises ex
citing entertainment for all.
The Royal Varieties includes a
Walter Catlett comedy and an is
sue of reelism called "Stray
Tomb.” 1

REVIEW OF LABOR
DECISION SOUGHT
Dixie Mill Owners Say They
Will Have To Close If
Ruling Upheld
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—UP)—A
group of southern cotton mills told
the supreme court today that they
would be compelled to close if an
order of the federal wage-hour ad
ministration fixing a minimum
wage of 32 1-2 cents an hour foi
textile workers is upheld.
They sought a review of a de
cision by the federal circuit couri
at New Orleans sustaining the or
der. The supreme court’s actior
will be announced in October.
Constitutionality of the wage
hour law was challenged by tht
mills, but the circuit court passed
only on the legislation as it af
fected the textile wages.
The supreme court already has
agreed to review other litigatior
involving constitutionality of the
wage-hour law, which provides foi
minimum pay and a maximum
work week. Arguments will be
heard in the fall.
Today’s petition contended tha'
“small cotton mills of the deei
south” can not operate under the
wage order. The petitioners as
serted that the south should be
given a lower wage than othei
sections because of lower living
costs and a “large difference ii
the prevailing wage rate.”
The petition said the order af
fected more than 1,000 establish
ments producing more than $1,
000,000,000 worth of merchandise
and consuming more than 5,000,
000 bales of cotton annually.

the idea that those unacceptable
