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. Pal COLIN CLIVE STAGE AND SCREEN SYMPHONY till fl ureic Dare AT SAKS CAFE Labor Department Head Guest on Altman's Hour Downtown Theaters — 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- day, April 19, 20, 21 and 22, at which time Charles Laughton, Charles Ruggles and Mary Boland will be- shown in "Ruggles of Red Gap" and Frederic March, Miriam Hopkins and Rose Hobart will ap- pear in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." 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." • Catering to Luncheons, SAKS CAFE The hilarious floor show at Saks' northend cafe this week-end is sponsored by Buddy Lester, ver- satile clown of ceremonies, who in- troduces Marilyn Maynard, swing singer from Monico's in Cleveland, and Marsh Sisters, fast tap and rhythm dancers. Nita and Bernille put comedy in their adagio routines while Florence Strong sings popu- lar songs to Eddie Bratton's or- chestration, also supplied for floor shows and for dancing. Paul Muni, who won the Motion Picture Academy Award as the best actor of 1936, stars in his new picture, "The Woman I Love" now at the Michigan Theater. Miriam Hopkins appears opposite the famed player in this drama. Songstress BOESKY'S ON 12th STREET 12th & Hazelwood MARILYN MAYNARD sings on the floor show program of Cafe Saks.
