THE GROWTH OF TEXTILE MANUFACTURING IN GREAT BRITAIN RESULTED AN INCREASED DEMAND FOR COTTON TO BE MADE INTO CLOTH.

IT CONSISTED OF TWO ROLLERS, ONE COVERED WITH TEETH, THE OTHER WITH LITTLE BRUSHES, WHICH REMOVED THE SEEDS FROM THE FIBER. HAND BY NEGRO AS IT TOOK A MAN ALL DAY TO CLEAN A SINGLE POUND OF COTTON, SO MANY SLAVES WERE REQUIRED AND SO MUCH TIME SPENT IN THE PROCESS, THAT THERE WAS LITTLE PROFIT FOR THE PLANTER IN THE INDUSTRY UNLESS HE CHARGED A VERY HIGH PRICE FOR HIS PRODUCT.

The Department of Commerce inspectors are using especially equipped cars to test the service areas of the principal broadcasting stations. Engineers are -using sensitive instruments for measuring the field intensity at various distances from the stations. Insufficient power, inspectors report, has hampered many stations in reaching the points they should properly cover which is the kind of report that the Federal Radio Commission will not like at this time, when its members are thinking; in terms of reduction in number of stations and power of those which remain.

Brooklyn. 0HE ENTIRE WEEK uri fIf mOrutJOCTl Lew Leslie, producer of "Blackbirds of 1928," which Just celebrated its one hundredth performance at the Liberty Theatre, is unlike the average Broadway producer in that he Is not a stickler for Times Square conventions. He proved this when he invaded the Gay White Way with the first band of negro entertainers In 1921 and he has proved this again In "Blackbirds," a revue that before the premiere did not have a single name In the cast known to Broadway playgoers. And not only that but his lyricist and composer were unknown as well. To the average theatregoer this may mean very little, but to those on the Inside of show business nothing could be more revolutionary.

The producing game is a torrific gamble even when stars and well-known writers are employed to prepare the entertainment for Broadway. But with a cast of wholly unknowns plus writers equally untried, the gamble assumes proportions beyond the venture of the most In THE NEW "VANITIES" OPENS MONDAY NIGHT The new seventh edition of Earl Carroll Vanities, W. C. Fields and featuring Ray Dooley and Joe Frisco, will be presented Monday night at the Earl Carroll Theatre, after a preliminary week In Atlantic City. In addition to the trio mentioned, there are 20 other play ers of note and Vincent Lopez and his band.

The others In the cast Include Gordon Dooley and Martha Morton, Richard Bold, Barto and Mann, Lillian Roth Jean Tennyson, Adler and Bradford, Brian Mac-Donald, Joey Ray, "VerceU Sisters. Maurice LaFue, Dorothy Lull, Naomi Johnson, Beryl Halley and Edward Graham. There Is a contingent of prize-winning beauties headed by Dorothy Knapp, still billed as the most beautiful girl in the world. This contingent Includes Ruth K. Patterson, a runner-up in the last Atlantic City beauty jageant; Dorothy Brltton.

the "Mfta Universe" of the Dallas. Texas, beauty pageant; Frances Joyce, Eileen Wenzel. Bobbie Storey and Blanche Satchel. Lillian Bond. "Miss England," is also among the dancers in the ensembles.

Mr. Carroll has the most elaborate book and production he has aver attempted, the dialogue being from the pen of Paul Gerard Smith nnd the staging having been done by r-uBitr Busoy ueraeiey has staged all the musical numbers and the music and lvrlcs are bv Grace Henry and Morris Hamilton, witn interpretations from George Baeby and G.

"Glorious Betsy," starring Dolores Costello and Congrad Nagel, is the latest achievement from the studios of Warner Brothers and Is rated as one of the most interesting of the Vitaphohe subjects seen and heard thus far. In addition to Miss Costello and Nagel, the cast Includes such well-known players as John Mlljan, Marc MacDermott, Betty Blythe, Paul Panzer and Clarissa Selwynne. In addition there are two operatic stars well known to audiences at the Metropolitan, Pasquale Amato and Andre de Segurola.

"Glorious Betsy" offers the full Vltaphone synchronization, talking sequences and song numbers. The picture was inspired by the story of Betsy Patterson of Baltimore who married the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte. Conrad Nagel is seenaa Jerome whose visit to American results in his meeting with Betsy and their marriage and their subsequent difficulties with Napoleon. Managing Director Edward Hyman has also prepared a surrounding program of Vltaphone short subjects of unusual interest in addition to the popular news reel, "NANETTE" NEXT WEEK AT WERBA'S JAMAICA "No, No, Nanette," one of the most delightful musical comedies ever staged and which has stood the test of translation into five different languages, will be given Its initial presentation In Queens at Werba's Jamaica Theatre during the week, starting Monday night. Although never before presented on the local stage the tuneful farce is one of the prime favorites of the Werba company and its leading roles are said to be Ideally adapted to the talents and personality ot Shirley Booth and Walter N.

Greaza. A Brooklyn critic describing their performance said ''It is the gayest liveliest funniest and most rollicking piece of its kind that has been presented in Brooklyn in many moons, for the gayety is contagious. Shirley Booth, Mr. Greaza and everyone In the cost and audience seem to contract a joyous abandon which would enliven even a dull piece, but which sends "No, No, Nanette" along to perennial success." The cast has been augmented to the number of seventy-five, which includes a large and attractive dancing chorus trained by Danny Lee and an augmented orchestra directed by the indeftalgi-ble Norris Zentner the settings and costumes are the H.

Many of the broadcasters will protest against the arrangement for dividing time, but the Idea must be carried out to prevent too many stations transmitting simultaneously. Meanwhile, a number of them are appealing for channels for television experiments. The lastest report Is that A. 0. Cooley, Foto-Ray wizard, has devised a system of television, but news thereabout Is being repressed.

3 Balrd International Television. Is floating a big stock issue In England. More than $3,500,000 Is Involved. Huge profits, eventually, are anticipated. The announcement conveys the Information that "the policy wHl be to form companies for the manufacturing and marketing of the Inventions in such countries as afford the best opportunities for couimercial exploitation." That's why the main agitation 1b over hers and offices have been opened in the Paramount Building.

In London the Balrd interests stated that a television set will soon be on the American market and will be shown at the British and American radio exposition In September, While television Is Just being talked about, the air Is filled with music. The NBC program -makers put on "The Brown Bear" last night, simulating the rallying of Russian merrymakers in a restaurant of that name, popular in the days of the Czar or the nights, rather, for the fun comes after dinner and in the wee morning hours. The ensemble singing was marked with spirit and hilarity and not so perfect reactions on the loud speaker, which Is usually the case with a large group of mixed voices. The period had Its points of novelty and undoubtedly will be wel-corned bv thousands. And PaubDu- mont, in announcing, did not do half bad with his Kusslan.

It would appear that endless battles art being fought on land and In the sky whenever a director meets a cameraman and a few actors out Hollywood way. Although the war Is now 10 years from us In the past. these military cinemas are still very much with us at the moment.

All of which is In way of an Introduction to announcement of the fact that Lilac Tlmo," the latest aircraft epic" of the late unpleasantness, ar rived, in town last evening at the Central Theatre. Here Is an elaborate by the First National forces as a super-special or something of the kind. Such a classifi cation was hardly earned, however. by this new product from the studios at Burbank. "Lilac Time," based on the stage play that served Jane Cowl well some years ago, has as its star, Miss Colleen Moore, which is something: of an asset, but it is handicapped by an unoriginal story.

The adapter of last night's film most certainly Knew nis WiriKs," "Seventh Heaven, "Legion of the Condemned" and "The BIk Parade," (or here are to be found many sequences strangely similar to theses war films that have gone before. In "Lilac Time" some of the heat parti of each are combined, re-suiting in an evening of reminiscence. The story of the film concerns the adventures in love and war of a little French girl, Jeannine, and gallant Capt. Blythe of the Royal Air Force. The earlier scenes show the.

meeting of the two, rather unromantically. at the flying field, followed by events leading up to the realization of love and all that sort of thing at Lilac times. Blythe is leader of a flying squadron of seven British planes that goes forth to do battle with the enemy flyers. He la the only one to return from the skies alive, and even he is shot down by the German Red Ace. The final portions of the film depict Jeannlne's search for her lover-, who has been taken from her to a distant war hospital.

When she finally locates him she is informed by his father that he Is dead. All of which turns out to be untrue, as you may well expect, tnd soon alonsr comes the inevitable happy ending. The performance of Miss Moore Is one of skill and general effectiveness. One cannot help but feel that she Is far better as a comedienne than -when he attempts the pathetic wistf ulness that is so Important In the interpretation ot this role. It Is a.

part that needs a Janet Gaynor to srive it the proper depth and significance However, Colleen Moorr handles it all quite capably, it must be admitted, and in the first half of the picture her lighter moments of comedy are particularly good. Gary Cooper Is cast once more as a handsome aviator and as usual acts -with great sincerity and charm of manner. He is a likable leading man in the films and this new role should add to his fast-growing reputation. Others in "Lilac Time" who do well, with rather limited oppor- tunities ire Edward Dillon, Eugenie Besserer, George Cooper and Cleve Moore, Colleen'a brother. The six younis blrdmen who accompany Blythe In his sky-fighting seem entirely too youthful, in my estimation.

They are mere youngsters of the prep school type, but perhaps this is symbolical of something or other In connection with the ravages or war. Lilac Time" is a film that shows painstaking efforts in its compilation. The aerial scenes are especially -well done, I think, the settings are authentic and effective, and the acting; it of good quality. It there-fores seems a pity that there could not havt been wore originality Inculcated Into the story and Its telling-. A) It stands, the new film at the Central will probably achieve considerable success, but its makers muffed a chance to turn out something of unusual worth by doing some ef the things that havs beea don before many times.
