Paul Muni Picture
Outstanding Features at Center Theater
There is one man in Hollywood
who absolutely refuses to go the
way of all flesh and be put down
as a "type". Ile is Paul Muni, this
year's winner of the Academy
award for the best actor, who is
now on the Michigan Theater
screen with Miriam Hopkins in
"The Woman I Love", new RKO
special production.
In his West characterization, that
of a French flyer in "The Woman
I Love," the star is not Paul
Muni but a bearded, morose French
flyer who is cordially disliked by
his fellows. And Muni deliberately
passed up the lover's role in the
cast in order to portray this part.
While the picture was being shot
he declared: "When playing a role
I try to live that character every
day, on and off stage. I think I
succeed in virtually burying my-
self in character, sometimes per-
haps a bit too effectively, As a re-
sult I sometimes seem, without in-
tending to do so, stilted in my at-
titude toward others. I'm always
happy when a picture is completed
so I can square myself."
Internationally known for its
beauty and exclusiveness, the Lake
Tarleton Club is to open its doors
to the public for the first time
June 25 when the Family Jacobs
who have just purchased this 5500
acre New Hampshire Mountain
Lake property inaugurate its first
season as a summer hotel.
Negotiations for this purchase
have been underway for the past
four years by the owners of the
Alamac at Miami Beach. During
that time it was necessary for the
Jacobs' to secure releases from the
15 members who established this
unique mountain club and built
the 15 lakeshore homes for their
own use and the 77 room club-
house and annex for their friends
and guests.
Dartmouth College men will con-
tinue to use their established ski
trails and Tarleton, the largest of
the four lakes, for winter sports
programs through the courtesy of
the new owners.
Each of the rooms in the club-
house, annex and member's houses
has its individual fireplace and
bathroom.
As a nucleus for the musical
and cultural programs the Jacobs
are taking north with them sev-
eral of the University of Miami
symphony musicians.
The Lake Tarleton Club will
remain open till October.

WILLIAM POWELL AND KAY FRANCIS
The Center Theater, located on
Woodward near the Boulevard, will
present "One Way Passage" with
William Powell and Kay Frances,
together with "Stowaway", star-
ring Shirley Temple, Alice Faye
and Robert Young, on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, April 16,
17 and 18.
Another unusual double attrac-
tion will be presented on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs-

Charles Ruggles and Mary Boland

Following an accidental spilling
of cocktails in Hong Kong's most
famous international bar, Dan
Hardesty and Joan Ames turn to
look into each other's eyes—finding
something that each has sought
for a lifetime. With this beginning,
the play proceeds with intrigue,
action, mystery and romance.
Prize Winner
Revelry by Night
An interesting discourse on how
the State'Department of Labor and
Industry functions was delivered
last Sunday on Altman's Jewish
radio period over Station WMBC
by Lionel Heap, Michigan's new
labor commissioner.
After outlining the aims and
purposes of the department, Mr.
Heap said:
"An insight into the amount of
work carried on by the department
will be gained when I tell you that
the department keeps its eye on
over 30,000 factories and places of
business in Michigan. Last year
there were 22,180 compensable ac-
cidents reported to the department.
That is 85 per working day. Com-
pensation to the extent of $3,392,-
371.00 was paid for these injuries,
and 1,445,881 working days were
lost because of them. Automobile
accidents are not included in these
figures unless the accident was in
connection with a truck. It may be
thought that most accidents occur
in factories. That is true, but not
to the extent commonly supposed.
12,723 of the accidents were in
manufacturing establishments, and
9457 in non-manufacturing estab-
lishments. That is far too many
accidents in both categories. There
were 16 per cent more accidents
last year than the previous year.
"If the injured man and his em-
ployer (rather in most cases the
Insurance adjuster) agree upon the
compensation, the agreement and
receipts for payment under it are
filed with the department and ap-
proved by the department if cor-
rect, and that is all there is to it.
But if the parties do not agree,
then the case is set for hearing
before a deputy at the county seat
of the county in which the acci-
dent occurred. If the award of the
deputy is accepted by both sides ,
that ends it; but if not, the case is
appealed to the commission, that is,
to the three commissioners who sit
upon industrial accident cases. The
commission holds hearings once or
twice a month in Detroit, once a
month in Lansing, and two or three
times a year in Marquette."

The Language Used by Jesus
Jesus spoke Aramaic, which Was
the common speech of Palestine in
his day. Hebrew had ceased to be
the spoken language of Palestine
several hundred years before the
Christian era. The use of Aramaic
was very wide even in Babylonian
times. Aramaic inscriptions dating
probably from belpre the time of
Cyrus have been found In Syria,

There were several dialects of this

from that of Galilee and still more
from that spoken in Samaria.
