FILM STARS AND COMMUNISM.
A Hollvwood Investigation.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.— Prosecuting offi
cials who have been investigating alleged
Communistic activities at Hollywood name
four motion picture players as contributors
to that cause, namely, ljupe v elez, jjoiores
del Rio, Ramon Novarro and James Cag
ney. Mr. Cagney was born in New York,
the others are Mexicans by birth.
Miss Velez's husband, Johnny Weis
muller, declared: 'Lupe doesn't even know
the meaning of the word.' Cagney denied
the officials assertions categorically, while
the others have not commented on the
matter.
Friends declared that over a year ago
Cagney contributed to the relief of strik
ing agricultural workers, in connexion
with which Communist leaders were in
volved, which probably resulted in linking
his name with the movement.
