PARSONS Motion Picture Editor Universal Service (Copyright, 1934, By Unlverl Service) LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5 Clark Gable moves to Twentieth Century on a loan, of course from Metro Gold wyn Mayer. He plays the lead in Jack London's "Call ot the Wild" on account of Fredric March cannot possibly be in two pictures at one time. Darryl Za nuck is particularly eager to get going with "Les Miserables" so when Freddie returned from the South Seas they talked over the "sitchiation" with the result Gable was borrowed for "Call of the Wild" and March was kept in the Victor Hugo classic. Seems to me the decision is a wise one.

The London, role is more to the Gable type and no one could be a better Jean Val Jean than Freddie, who can out Barrymore Barrymore when it comes to these unusual characterizations. Both productions are scheduled for December production. LAEMMLE MAKES THINGS HUM Didn't I tell you that Carl Laemmle, once in the saddle, would make things hum? I have such respect for Mr. Laemmle, whom' I have known for 30 years, that i whatever he says assumes importance for me. He tells me that all the Universal contract players will come first, and he will not use any borrowed players as he has people on the lot who can fill places in his pictures.

For Instance, he has put Chester Morris into the lead of "Princess OUara," Damon Runyon's story with Sally Ellers being tested for the feminine lead.

Mrs. Mary Devorak, aged 23, Kelayres, shot through legs and hips. Additional names were added to the casualty list as physicians from Hazleton and McAdoo, who were called to the scene, returned to their offices. Wounded Taken to Homes John Saladage, aged 24, of Kelayres, was shot in both arms and Daniel Steibler was shot in the head. Both men were taken to their homes and appeared not to be seriously hurt, although they suffered from loss of blood before medical aid could reach them.

Physicians at McAdoo report that numerous minor wounds were dressed at their offices, and one of these victims, Miss Alice Mc Bride, told newspapermen that it was her impression that it was machine gun fire, as the charges peppered so fast. Miss McBride, with her arm riddled with bullets, of a fleshy nature, was taken to the office of Dr. John J. Dailey, and later was taken to her home. The Democrats were swinging down Kelayres' main street, banners waving and red fire flaring.

That's all today. See you tomorrow! Calls On Cummings To Protect Voters PITTSBURGH, Nov. 6 (ff) (Tuesday) David L. Lawrence, state Democratic chairman, today called1 ion Attorney General Homer S.

Cummings to "safeguard both voters and votes" in Pennsylvania's election today. I Lawrence sent the following wire to the attorney general at Washington: "The cold blooded murder of four participants in a Democratic assemblage in Kline township, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, and the wounding of ten others including several women confirms fears that violence and bloodshed will result from the desperate attempts to steal today's elections in Pennsylvania. Serious trouble is threatened in many other places particularly in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Lucerne county. I earnestly request that you take every means to safeguard both voters and votes in today's election in view of the fact that this being an election involving federal offices your department has full jurisdiction." dropped in their tracks, and in a moment all was confusion. Under cover of the noise, witnesses said several automobiles pulled out from the curb and sped off.

Police were Hurried to the scene as a mob gathered around the Jceeph Bruno home and began threatening to dynamite the place. Hundreds milled in the street, and police reinforcements were called to stave off an anticipated attack when the paraders marshaled their full forces again. Whole Population Out As midnight passed, most of the little mining town's population was in the streets, mindful of the bitter fight that has been raging for a year in their local politics. Although members of the Bruno faction of the Republican party appeared, the state police and county and township officials managed to quiet the crowd to an extent. Feeling swept higher again, however, with word from Hazleton that a fourth victim of the shooting was not expected to survive for more than a few hours.

Joseph Bruno, a detective in the Schuylkill county district attorney's office, has been for years the recognized Republican leader. Report Shooting Threats From the crowd came charges that women of the Democratic party had been intimidated by the Republicans 10 days ago, being told some one would get shot if they attempted to parade. The Democrats broke Republican control of Klein township, in which Kelayres is located, in the November elections last year. The official county showed a 100 vote margin of victory, but a recount in court gave the election to the. Republicans.

The battle continued into the schools as the fall term opened this year. Each side had its own set of teachers, and each tried to get control of the school building. Street battles, occurred between parents, teachers and children. The building was partly wrecked and school opening had to be postponed before peace was established. District Attorney Leroy E.

Enter line, of Schuylkill county, left his home in Pottsville for the scene of the shooting and ordered his entne staff of detectives to assist in the investigation. Asks Federal Probe Ralph Bashore, Democratic chairman of Schuylkill county, tonight sent request to Federal District Attorney McAvoy at Philadelphia, that Attorney General Cummings WHAT'S DOING AT THE 'Charlie Chan In London' Thrills State Audiences "Clever, these Chinese!" Still, Warner Oland seems to be the only portrayer of Oriental roles in films capable 'of switching from good to evil, or vice versa. In "Charlie Chan in London," now at the State theatre, he is once more on the side of the angels. Out 1 of the guise of Confucian good and wisdom this reversible actor turns with ease to roles heavy lidded in treachery and oily cunning. Although his present assignment calls for all the logic of a generous souled servant and detective, War ner Oland also played Fu Manchu and other green eyed roles.

In fact, he has made more pictures in the garb of villainy than in any other. The mystery movie has been gain ing the increasing respect of film audiences and producers, as evi denced by the titles found in ad yance Hollywood production sched ules. This is equally true or tne book publishing world, from which most of the mystery material stems for film adaptation. With this add ed, demand, there is a greater need for acting flexibility not easily sup plied. Ronald Colman and William Powell have been exceptionally 6uc cessful in this field but the list is not long.

Warner Oland really wanted to write plays rather than act. As a matter of fact, Fox has had con siderable difficulty in keeping him under contract. The reasons are chiefly that he wants to sit back in his island home and write and rest. Yet when Chan calls, he puts his scripts aside. He was born in Umea, Sweden, but was brought over by his parents when he was 13.

The program includes Buck Jones in the eighth chapter "The Red Rider." Starting "One Is Guilty." with Ralph Bellamy. Special Train to Bring Basil's Ballet Russe Fifty glamorous Russian ball erinas and ballerinos, the members of Col.

Joseph Bruno told a newspaper man that after he left Republican headquarters, next door to his home, he and his co workers went to his residence, where he planned to fill out some watchers' papers for voters from the Lofty district. He said his wife and family were seat ed about the room, when they heard the parade coming. He stated that some stones struck, his property and after he heard several volleys ot shots fired, a stone came through a window.

He said he could not state whether any persons within his home had returned the Are. Greenville, claims a record birth.

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the stars, were recently crowned, by public acclaim, as the "King and Queen of Carioca," because of their interpretation of the fiery, exciting dance in "Flying Down to Rio." In "The Gay Divorcee" the great terpsicnorean pair present two grand new dances, one called "Day and Night," originated by Astaire and called "the dance of moods;" another, the hit of the show, called "The Continental." The latter creation, staged by Dave Gould, who staged the "Carioca" in "Flying Down to Rio," has already become the rage with movie folks, who call it "The Joy Dance" because it is said to combine beauty and sport, and is also well within the capabilities of young and old. The Astor stage show presented in conjunction with the screen attraction, "The Gay Divorcee," offers such headline personalities as Frank and Ethel Carman; Gordon, Reed and King, "the three aristocrats of rhythm;" Eddie Lambert, "the prince of Jesters; Eddie White, "the joy boy of Broadway;" and Irene Vermillion and company ip "Variety Bits" conclude the program with a delightful surprise.

No musical romance has ever achieved the same world wide popularity as "The Merry Widow." It has been played in every country and every language. The strains of the "Merry Widow Waltz" are as familiar and as loved today in Moscow as in Buenos Aires, in New York as in Peking. No light opera in history has so perfectly and permanently gripped the public.

All the famous songs of the Franz Lehar masterpiece are to be heard in Metro Goldwyn Mayer's presentation, co starring Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald. The hauntingly romantic "Vilia" is sung by Miss MacDonald, as are "Tonight Will Teach Me to Forget," "Melody of Laughter" and "Widows Are Gay." Chevalier's songs include "Im Going to Max in's" and "Girls, Girls, Girls." Together Miss MacDonald and Chevalier sing "The Merry Widow Waltz."

'Caravan' il Come Embassy One irthe most brilliant screen productions seen here in many months now at the Embassy theatre.

This was the unique and lavish musical spectacle, "Caravan," produced for Fox Film by the celebrated oontinential director, Erik Charell. Outstanding as Charell's first film effort in Hollywood "Caravan" should insure a long and distinguished career for this gifted producer director in America. His initial production for Fox combines splendor of setting and a lavishness unusual in sound films with subtle comedy and sparkling dialogue. The sweeping exteriors of "Caravan" are matched in effectiveness only by the delightful interludes of intimate comedy. Perhaps topping all other features of this production are the amazing new technique and the unique use of music that stirs you with its rhythmic swing.

A brilliant cast performs this romantic love story of the Tokay wine harvest. Charles Bdyer, continental star, appears as a dashing Gypsy musician and Loretta Young is a gay countess. Other principals are Jean Parker, Philips Holmes and Louise Fazenda, while such distinguished players as Eugene Pal lette, C.
