A scene like this, under the new setup, is within reason: $1000-a-week-Hero: "You've made a mistake on this check." Cashier: "How come you got a thousand bucks, didn't you?" Hero: "Yah, but I got $31.35 more coming I made love to Hedy La-marr for 49 hours this week." Guild heads say the purpose of the new agreement is not to get more money for the actor, but to improve his working conditions. They say that actors have been obliged to work in independent productions, made at small costs, at "terribly long and indecent hours." The litt'e film maker, limited to hours, will see his costs Jump at least 20 per cent after next month, a spokesman for one of them declared.

In the major plants, it is said the increase will be a little less, perhaps from 5 to 15 per cent. But the prospect of actors carrying a time card and punching a clock before emoting is amusing to most every one else in Hollywood. The Marie Twain Masquers are trying their hand at Emlyn Williams popular drama "Night Fall." Wedensday night at Avery Memorial. Nine worthies told a near capacity audience their version of the story of Danny the page-boy in an English Inn who was filled witti charm and lust for murder at the same time. It is a strange story, difficult o.

assimilation. Not because it couM not happen but because it could. It is the nearness of the murderer, feasting at the board of the middle class English family he fastens himself upon, and sleeping at a gun's shot distance from their beds. It is difficult, too. to accept the idea that Danny has killed in bloody fashion one person and may be lying in wait for a second victim, because Danny has charm and uses it.

All this is why the play is invariably intriguing. Whether Danny is a homicidal maniac or Just a good boy gone wrong offers more question for discussion. Is he an authentic portrayal of a murderer who has committed his first crime and almost as soon forgotten about it? Last night's cast was the third this reviewer has seen attack the play and practically every interpretation differed from corresponding ones as given by other casts. Helen Dolgin's conception of ths girl tricked into indiscretion by Danny was more to our liking than any we've seen. She was splendid.

So was Pauline Zlowe as the cantankerous Mrs, Bramson. Edward Stephenson as Danny was capital particularly in his abandoned gestures, his hysterical relapses and in the changes in his characterization as the net tightened around him. The rest of the cast, each contributing good work, included Eileen Murphy (when we could hear her) William McCurdy, Florence Mead, Rhoda Bockus (very good indeed) and Allen Stuart. Judge Thomas J. Mollov offering a touch of realism in the role of Lord Chief Justice, read the court summary which is a to the play.

The Government of Greece has assumed control of all drug prices. BUSHNELL TONIGHT Hollywood, Oct. 20. (AP.) Something new is coming into the lives of Hollywood's actors and actresses fime cards and time clocks. The new Screen Actors Guild contract, which goes into effect November 1, limits hours of work for players to 48 a week, with provisions for overtime.

Studio executives aereed today that the only way to keep account of players' hours is to give them time cards and "punch" them in and out. Overtime, at time-and-a-half after 48 hours (except on Sunday and the principal holidays, when double time will be paid) eoes into effect next month for all actors earning; $1000 a week or less. This excludes extras, who now are being paid overtime. Murray Kinnell. an executive of the SAG, estimated today that at least 70 per cent of the so-called "name" people are paid less than, $1000 a week.

Overtime will be paid in the usual manner: For each hour, 1-32 Silas Deane Players To Present Crab Apple' Crab Apple," 'by Theodore Packard, will be presented by the Silas Deane Players as the first play of their 1938-39 season, at the Bulkeley High School auditorium on Saturday night, November 12. The play has been written by a New Englander about life in a small New England town. It deals with the pleasant and amusing side of family existence, and in particular relates the story of the underlying kindness of a crochety old man who wants to dominate his family but finds it, more difficult than he had counted on. Mr. Packard wrote "Crab Apple" while he was a student at the Yale School of Drama, and it was first produced at the university.

Subsequently it was presented at the Theater-by-the-Sea, Matunuck. R. the Post Road Theater in Madison, and at numerous other summer playhouses. Illness Delays Wedding Of Former Child Star Hollywood, Oct. 20.

(AP.) The wedding of "Baby Peggy" Montgomery, former child star of the filrrft, and Gordon D. Ayres, young playwright, awaited today the bride-to-be's recovery from the flu.

(AP.) Pearl White, pioneer heroine of thriller movies who died August 4 in Paris, directed in a superseding will filed today that a considerable part of her fortune be given to "charities taking care of artists." Charitable bequests totaling (about $75,000) were enumerated in the will which was drawn June 22 last. The previous will was dated June 11. 1937. Theodore Cozzika, of Cairo, Egypt, was bequeathed the actress's home at 6 Avenue Henri Martin in Paris where she lived after her retirement from early-day moving pictures. Cozzika also was bequeathed jewelry, horses, furniture and other personal and household effects as well as 10,000 "to be distributed by him to such charities which he may select at his sole discretion." In the previous will, Charles Schwartz, New York lawyer was named executor.

The document did not leave Cozzika the money to be distributed to charity, and it divided the residuary estate into 10 parts, three of which were to go to the Actors Fund of America "or any other worthy and desirable charity that takes care of actors."

IRVING JOHNSON 'ROUND THE WORLD IN THE "YANKEE" Illustrated By THE COLORED MOTION PICTURES OF The long awaited screen version of the highly successful stage play, "Room Service," featuring the Marx Brothers, opened Thursday at Loew's Poli Theater. Fans of the usually irrepressible Groucho, Chico and Harpo who expected them to use the play as a mere vehicle for their customary bufooneries are due for a shock.

For the boys elected to take the story seriously as seriously as they can take 'any tiling and they tampered with it very little. There's not a song or dance in the works, and Chico and Harpo go near neither piano nor harp. But don't think for a moment there isn't a lot of activity and excitement, for this is a gag-a-minute yarn and in handling that sort of thing the Brothers Marx have no peers. In "Room Service," Groucho plays a penniless producer who, while seeking an "angel" to back his play, has moved his companions, Chico and Harpo, and the entire cast of 20 into his hotel where he trades upon the good-nature of his brother-in-law. the hotel manager, for credit.

They have run up a bill of $1200, u-hpn a hotel supervisor arrives on the scene and, justifiably outraged, demands their immediate and wholesale eviction. Since Grou-cho's "angel" is ariving the next day with a juicv check for $15,000 and has insisted the transaction take place in Groucho's hotel suite, it is imperative that they "hold the fort" The ruses thev resort to to keep from being put out have the management in one long furore and the audience in an uproar.

Snow White and Prince Sue Disney for $300,000 New York, Oct. 20. (AP.) Snow White and Prince Charming have gone to court in an attempt to collect $300,000 from Walt Disney. Adrlana Castelotti, the voice of the heroine in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," and Harry Stockwell, who sang and spoke for the Prince, filed separate suits against Disney Productions. and the RCA Manufacturing Company.

(T Wm mm IV Make Film Rnss Sam Goldwyn to Pav Jon's Expenses Rosalind Russell May Get 'Thin Man' Role BY SHEILAH GRAHAM. Hollywood. Oct. 20. Jon Hall, who is going to London to make a picture, Is having all his clothes made rieht here in Hollywood because.

he. pxDlains. "Enellsh clothes don't seem to fit Hollywood people." Jon's salary is $250 a week. not enough in his opinion to give him a verv swaseer trousseau. So Ttnec Sam rtoiriwvn has come through with a bonus of $1000.

plus $350 a week expenses while he is abroad. Incidentally, Hall wanted ipnt.hpr coat, "iust like Clark Ga- hiP'ji" It cost him $300. While Hall is in England, he will not have any feminine dates without first informing his wife Frances Langford (who is rpmainine in America). And vice versa. (Lucky for Jon that Goldwyn has also promised to pay for his cables.) Would you like to know what happens when Shirley Temple catches cold? (She has one right now.) First of all, her own doctor Is called in, who then consults the studio doctor.

She is then rushed home and kept in complete seclusion (from visitors, not her family) until the sniffles disappear. Shirley even when she is well is rarely allowed to play with other children apart from her stand-in too much danger of her catching their childish ailments. It was unfortunate, for Shirley, that in her current picture there are 16 other children, and it is from one of them that La Temple caught the germ that put her to bed. Bette Davis Says Jimmy Cagney has never used a gun outside the movies. And he is now being taught by an 84-years-old sharpshooter the art of discharging a six-shooter for his bad-boy role in "Oklahoma Kid." Mutual friends are working overtime trying to patch up the Bette Davis-Harmon Nelson marriage.

But Bette says, "No." Meanwhile, "Ham" is a sad sight, looking for all the world like a sick puppy. Elaine Bfirrie brings husband John Barrymore his lunch every day in a hamper, and they eat together in his studio dressing room. Who would have thought that "Ariel" would develop into such a model wife? Virginia Bruce has dieted to the point where the sinews on her neck protrude. Can it be the influence of the "Thin Man" series, for which Virginia wanted the role played by Myrna Loy? There is now some talk of putting Rosalind Russell in this part. I still think it would be a great mistake to have anyone but William Powell and Myrna Loy as Mr.

and Mrs. Sleuth. Powell will soon be well enough to face the cameras again. And if only Metro will pay him his price, which is no higher than what it pays Clark Gable, I see no reason why the "Thin Man" should not continue with the cast responsible for its success. Ambitious Joan.

Charlie Chaplin does get around to making that political satire about the Jew who resembles and is mistaken for a certain dictator, he will not be able to relea.se it. Political satires are taboo, by order of the Hays office. I am inclined to believe that Charlie's talk is mere table-chatter. Besides, by the time he actually makes his next picture, who knows what condition the world will be in? His subject might be as old-fashioned as the drinking debutante. Ronald Colman and Benita Hume were invited by the Errol Flynns to spend tneir honeymoon with the latter on their yacht.

But the Col-mans declined with thanks. Joan Crawford gets to the studio one hour earlier each morning this means getting up at 6 a. m. for her skating lesson from Champ Bess Erd-hardt. What a girl! The agent-brother of one of our best known producers recently lost $765,000 at a gambling game.

Wow! Mickey Rooney owns Bine Crosby. Not the crooner, but a 7-year-old colt by that name. It isn't a publicity build-up for your picture, "Stable-mates," is it, Mickey? A certain actor has patted himself on the back to the point where he is positively round-shouldered! (Copyright, 1938, NAN'A, Inc.)
