NEW YORK.-Two films soon TO
be released are A Rural Cinder-
ella" and Saving Sister Susie" A
comparison of the two shows dis
tinctly the extent to which produc-
ers are going to get new material
for laugh-provoking plays.
1t has been said that there are
only seven jokes in the world. Film
comics seem limited to that number
of situations for laughs.
"A Rural Cinderella" is a product
of the old school of comedy. II is
without point. 1t is a series of bur-
lesque situations Joined TO gether in
jerky sequence. Zach situatlon IS
built for a laugh.
This type of comic appeals to those
with a broad sense Of humor, TO
those who laugh when clowns en-
gage each other with slapsticks.
Thus in "A Rural Cinderella"
Louise Fazenda dresses in lamp
shades and portieres to attend a HEX
party.
Her biscuits are too hard TO eat.
She puts them under a steam roller.
They make fine pancakes.
John Henry. Jr., the baby COM
edian. is drenched in a tub. Louise
hangs him on the mantle by the seat
of his trousers TO dry.
Another character, a strong man,
plows a field without aid of horse or
mule. He picks the plow up with
one hand and holds it at arms length
10 point directions.
The strong man is made impotent
when nails in his shoes are clenched
in a floor.
The humor of the subtitles is as
obvious as that of the situations.
Too obvious TO me, but n a means
nothing. I have heard thousands
laugh at similar titles and situations
in other comics.
.Saying sister Susie" has humor
of another sort. II a satlFes point
Its humor is subtle.
Its characters r not in ridiculous
costume. All are in straight make
M. The 1ction is set again a Dig
nifed background.
Dorothy DeVore is featured as the
OUNCE and more beautiful sister OF
a girl whose matrimonial hances
are as slim as her face. The mother
in seeking a match for the elder
dauater must keep the more at
tractYte one in the background.
There is the satire in this plot. ior
that situation finds many a pareile4
in real life.
Saving sister Susie" IS built along
the same plan as the polite coHfedles
which usually run y reels rs
conciseness speeds up the action. nGt
necessitates some rather crude WORK
in bringing the plot 10 a hastN close.
The difference between those Two
films is analogous 10 the o~t4eEents
between burlesque and a Iarkln-lph
comedy. or that between new
paper comic and a Gibson NItN
1Tba uerit OF each lies mostly n the
eve Of the beholder.

way could I hear about Dick.
Rose always knew what the men
of the company were talking about.
She had the news ron Henry Lar
kin. her husband. The latest news
had amazed the most ennuied actor:
Cissy had quit gambling! He, had
passed up the old betting bunch.
Some of the men joined with Ginette
in CHASING him as a piker.
But Rose said that when 1t came
to a good time, Dick Barnes vas no
better than Cissy. If the whole COM
pany was like those two. it sure
would be a dull bunch. The men
averred that if Cissy kept on behav-
ing and reforming, he'd be made a
star pretty soon.
And Cissy ought to get married.
But who would he marry? And Dick
Barnes was another confirmed
bachelor. He had been heard to say
McMaster's stars.
Rose, who was o whiZ at imita-
lions. used her husbands voice. then
Cissy's, then Dicks and made me
laugh, and then went away leaving
me in a most uncomfortable state of
mind.
So Dick Barnes would not marry a
girl who had been made a star by
McMasters.
What reason had he for making
sucn an utterly ridiculous vow?

ways considered the man I love as
so respectable"
The question Of the manners OF
girls comes again in a letter from q
young man:
You can't tell much about a girl
from her looks. They all buy the
same rouge. From hat to shoes, any
girl can camouhage elegance.
But watch their manners TO their
mothers. Or 10 any old lady.
They never camoufiage their
manners TO their own sex. A man
can place them that way.
When il comes to picking out a
wife. 1 say, watch how a girl
treats the older women!'"
: To share her manners only to
please men may be instructive, eie-
mental. feminine, sentimental, but
however explainable it is bad man
ners.
Respect for old women is the So
ciety girls first lesson in etiquer.
and it is part Of the cult Of every
college woman.
Manners, good or bad. are power
full habits as stated in the first let
ter; and undoubtedly a lover can
class a girl exactly by her manners.
as the second writer says, It IL not
a girls attitude toward the opposite.
but toward her own which stampz
her as the possessor of the quail
ties a man wants in a wife.

INTERESTS N SUGGESTIONS FOR
DaWn of NeU Era
(By NEA service)

! NEW YORK-The dawn Of a new
era in American literature!
1t has come, according to Fannie
Hurst, noted writer and playwright
M author of "Humoresque." one
of her outstanding contributions to
literature and a masterpiece on the
screen.
AT last" says Miss Hurst, "the
real American authors are being
just that-American writer's. They
are beginning to write their own
country's literature.
Everywhere n who IL in the
game can feel this new era taking
hold.
Miss Hurst believes this is the re-
suit OF the World War. America
emerged from the war" she says,
a mistress of the world. She stood
on her own feet.
This had its effect on literature.
Writers are ceasing to emulate their
English cousins.
Probably the youthful writer's of
the country took the first step. They
began writing about youth and
youth read about itself. This. of
course, was confined to a small area.
But it is growing. 1t is rapidly
leading to writings about ideas that
are typical American.
"A new trend in literature always
comes forth first in poetry. Then
! prose follows in line. This Is true
of the present trend.
soon, when we say American lit
erature, Il will mean something"
Fannie Hurst smiles her way into
ones friendship.
Asked what prompted her to en-
ter the literary world, she said:
II simply wanted to write. I was
SURE that I wanted to.
There is the trouble with a great
many people. They fall in love with
the idea of writing-then, when they
come down to the actual work, 1t
staggers them.
Paper and pencil are the most
tangible things in the world. Any
n ran have them.
"As a result, a great many people
merely want to WANT to write.

Period shoes are popular and the
high tongued, square toes of the
Louis XIV period may be seen in
cloth of gold with big paste buckles
Heels of contrasting colors and
heels into which jewels are embed
ded, are extremely popular for We
ming year.
The street shoe is also 1ow-even
unto the sandal point.
1t looks as though it is going to
be a bad winter for the high shoe.
Spats will completely eliminate
the high shoe among smart Dress
ers.
In street shoes a particularly good
model is the two-strapper pump
with modified toe and low heel. For
those who insist upon oxfords. a
model of patent leather is good. The
strapped shoe, however, even for
sports wear, is the most popular.
