BIRMINGHAM GIRL HAS
 MADE GOOD IN MOVIES
nr NErrIr REALL HOPKINS

Los Angeles, Cal, June 27.-(speciaL) Birmingham has an opportunity of mak- ing it's bow to Roberta Wilson of the movies-"B Bobbie' as she has been af- fectionately called around the studio but it is very likely that old friends have forgotten that Roberta ever went away, so little has she been affected by her experiences and successes-so well has she retained her old charm, her sweetness and simplicity of manner. And she has been successful--not so sue cessful as her sister. Lois to be sure. but neither does she take her work so seriously as Lois, but to her successes are incidents and only necessary to make the joy of living more complete.
 Early this spring she left her work and ran away to Honolulu, where she danced and played and saw new sights and charmed the officers at the army post there, until she was wearied of it, and then away she went to-Japan. She found Japan fascinating enough with It's shops and silks to appeal to her love for beautiful clothes, and its little peo- ple and it's traditional mystery to ap-
 
 awhile the throes of homesickness struck and then to her it was home again, home again, America for me" But even coming back to Los Angeles was not coming back home, for Birmingham was calling and she answered. Birming- ham will always be home to those who know her, and Roberta is one of the faithful ones who will never be weaned away.
 It is always interesting to know how one makes a start in the movies and this particular young actress will tell you that with many other stars of the day, she entered by ''the cap and apron route" She had the small part of a maid In one of her sisters pictures. Motion picture directors are eager to find new stars. and are quick to detect talent in those who have even the small est parts, so it was not long before Ro- berta moved up to more important parts and she is steadily advancing now; that is, she was four months ago when she decided to take a prolonged vacation. She says lightly now that she is not sure whether she will ever go back again but as soon as she satisfies her wan derlust, she will be working harder than before.
 It is not surprising to those who know Roberta and Lois to know that they are popular with the people around the stu dio. But it might be a surprise to know

 women woefully uninformed on the Subject of baking powder. Evidently the housewife does not appreciate the value of baking powder In her kitchen and in her baking, or she would nave informed herself This is subject that is quite important.
 l"A great many of the housewives today have followed their mothers or rrandmothers in the use of baking powder, which in some instances IS a lmistake. There has been just as much improyement in baking powder as Tn other commodities. I am glad to ma fhat baking powder has kept up with the times. ,s :.
 sSome housewives have been led to believe that the cream of tartar pow ders are the best goods to use. This IS n mistake, resulting no doubt from the Constant efforts of the Twenty Million Dollar Baking Powder Trust to create \ preiudice against all goods save fheir own.

to what extent they are liked. Both of them have a bewildering number of friends ranging from the most naughty stars to the humblest worker about the lot-from the pathetic bits of humanity that drift about from studio to sudio to get in as extras to the directors and managers themselves. And it is a last ing friendship based on sympathetic in terest and loyalty that is recognized everywhere.
 When she left Birmingham two years ago, Roberta had no idea of going into the movies, but she couldn't resist the lure of them and it is very much to her credit that she has progressed so far. For acting for pictures isn't play. It means getting up early in the morn ing, which naturally banishes parties that last late into the evening; it means standing for long hours in the sun, and only those who know the California sun can appreciate what that means; it means changing one's costume perhaps a dozen times a day, and many other things It necessitates many sacrifices, much self-denial so it is only those who possess earnestness of soul, strength of will, ability to forget self, that last.
 Roberta Wilson is one of those.

 Listen, some day casually count up the number of senseless wishes you hear launched. The aggregation would repre- sent mixture as weird and amazing as that doctors famous demonstration showing the dyspeptic what in the course of 24 hours he jumbled together and tried to digest.
 There Is a foolish little German fairy tale for which I have a real affection This isn't the first time I've used it in my stories, and I don't suppose it will be the last, for, as I said, really love it.
 The story goes of a certain old couple who spent the best years of their lives wishing this thing or that would happen. Most of their time was wasted wishing that some of their wishes would come true.
 A fairy suddenly appeared one day and announced that she would grant for them any three wishes they might make They could ask any boon, however won derful Stunned by such a prospect, the old couple sat silent, for neither could think, on the spur of the moment, what to ask for. But force of habit was stronger than even the shining presence who awaited upon them. Presently the old man yawned and aimlessly remarked: {: T wish I had pudding"
 Instanter the steaming pudding ap- peared. One draft on the wishing gold had been drawn and honored. The wife, indignant at this foolish waste of 8 pre-
