"The Book of job" at the Punch
and Judy theater, New York, is a
Mohawk Indian. He was born on
the Grand River reservation, Canada,
and spent his youth as guide TO tour
lists and hunters in Northern On
tario. His singing of native songs
attracted the attention of member
of one of these parties who told Os-
ke-non-ton he ought to come to New
York and study singing, and gave him
a letter of introduction to Arthur
Farwell, well known musician and
composer.
"Cootie, ,cootie, who's got a
cootie?"
That was the hue and cry raised
around Universal City when Di-
rector Allen Holubar was staging
The Heart of Humanity" Dorothy
Phillips latest mammoth feature. A
cootie was desired for closeup. But
there were none. Finally Holubar
called up police reporte friend of
his and asked that the city Jail be
combed for possible pants rabbit"
Migrants, DRINKS and sneak thieves
were searched, and the result was
not one cootie, but more than 200.
Director Holubar was able to con-
duct competitive tryout to deter
mine which insect was best qualified
for the stellar role. 1t is around
the cootie that one of the most hui
morous incidents of "The Heart of
Humanity" was depicted. This great
picture of love and war is being
shown at the Brandeis theater twice
daily all this week.

acts ever offered at the Orpheum is
the one presented by Lucille Cava-

whom are instrumentalists, while
the third is a singer. Leo Beers,

Says You re Not a
Perfect g."

New York, March l.-Put on your
clothes. venus-oover up your un-
shapely form for you won't do.
Howard Chandler Christy said so
today. You may have been a belle,
bat that was, a long time ago before
the coming of the American perfect
%.
Speaking of real beauty, the great
American artist said the stream
line body" might be accepted as the
ideal. which does not necessarily
mean that one ought to look like a
limousine. Now as a model the
American woman is in a class by her
self" he added. But Venus de Milo
well here is what he bad to say
about her:
This may be rank heresy. but per-
sonally I consider the Venus de Milo
too massive Her head is too small
for her body. Her waist is too large
Her hips are out Of proportion. Her
legs-ugh!"
VIII Improve Physisae.
Christy andvanced the opinion that
the war, with its physical demands
on both men and women, will result
in a greater premium being placed on
physical development, and eventually
will greatly improve the physique Of
both sexes. ' -
The artist was asked what national
ity produced the best models
American" he replied, with hcsita-
ton. The American man has the
best physical development in the
world. and the American woman
why she's in class by herself.

beauty.
