Mrs. Aurelia Henry Rcinhardt, LII.

cruit strength for her faculty. says
there is n difference between the girls
of the east and those of the west. out

horizon. Our girl is more vigorous,
more self reliant more individualistic
She hasn't the clf-consciousness OF
the Eastern girl. because she isn't so
crowded our girls come from the
ranches and fruit orchards and wheat
fields Of the NortQwess and West. It is
the difference between the five-room
apartment Of about 500 square feet OF
floor against the ranch Of 5000 acres.
The question Of dress, considered
from the standpoint of virtue or ethi-
cal value is largely a matter Of in

let me tell YOU" continued Dr.
Reini... at. the girls are all right
and if the older people would stop
whining about college conditions and
the faults of the young people Of this
generation and. instead, exercise
themselves to set up better standards
the young people would have less
temptation TO resist and higher
achievement to seek.
Making Youth Too Important.
1.-THE trouble is, we are making the
youth Of the land too important, The
methods Of education in homes and
at schools have made them spectators
rather than workers. Parents have
wanted their children amused instead
OF taught.
There has been some discussion Of
the morality Of schools for boys and
girls. but that is a matter which has
hardly touched us in the West We
never presuppose that a girl wants
TO be bad We do not confuse the
social and intellectual life. Colleges
are founded for learning. Home ar
rangements are secondary. If a col
lege keeps a girl busy, she won't
meanors are generally misdirected
energy, anyhow"
What do you think Of the system
of student government in girls col
leges like that Of Teachers College
here?" she was asked.
Student government is a splendid
thing" was the answer We have
it. Every breach of discipline is first
handled by the student body and
comes 10 the faculty last. The only
trouble the faculty has is to temper
with mercy the idea Of justice which
actuates the students courts. / have
never known a faculty which would
ask as drastic punishments as those
demanded by our student courts.
Just say for me this: I am no
pessinlist as to the future of the youth
Of this country"

 How He Broke In."
 When Sammy was asked how he t%broke into'' the movies, he pCineed a diminutive thumb toward his father, Joseph, who told this scant history of his first-born's rise to fame:
 About five years ago I was work in as cook for Mistah w. R. Paris in Los Ange1es-you know Mistah Paris he's one of the owners of that big department store.
 -"One night they was some movie people come to dinner. They got 10 ts.lkin' an one man said he wished he could find a lfl -colored boy to work with Baby Marie Osborne. I told lem I had a boy an they told me to bring him out.
 Next day we went out an that's all they was. to it. Everybody laugh ed at the way Ernie acted an he jus naturally kept goin' from that day to this. We stayed in that company for over two years and then ca me the big chance to join Mistah Harold Lloyd's company. Mistah Lloyd has given my boy some wonderful chances"
 Sammy knows the picture business from A to z, and at the call of "Camera," he is all attention. He's a willing little worker and has every trick of the trade at the ends of his little brown fingers.

Hastings Show Handicapped But Good

After a very polite usher had dip lomatically elected the reviewer from pair of good seats, because some one had wished Friday night tickets on the poor fish, he managed to con- vince the young lady that he knew what night it was, and where he was, and everything like that, joined out with the fringe of the audience and saw good, snappy burlesque. It was the Harry Hastings show wish whom he seemed to remember with the same show for long time, once with a different name.
 The reviewer sympathizes with the Hastings show. It has to follow Mollie Williams all season which is quite a handicap. A cash customer paying to, see Mollie would be dis couraged for several weeks. This was reflected in last nights audience, for there were many absent and they missed a good show.
 Dan Coleman leads a good produc- ton, beautifully coStumed, strong in dancing and honest to goodness sing ing, with pretty Hazel Lorraine the center of attraction, while Dan him self, about the only comedian in bur leSque who really possesses a good voice. has material that is virtual 1y entirely new in idea, situation, and line. Especially good was the trav- esty on a precinct police station, and the various performers by adding To- cal and national color of up-to-date cases to the bit showed that they use their noodles and read something be- sides the Whiz Bang.
 Of the various diSlays of cos tunes, the tambourine number was the most novel and effective, but the entire show pleased, and the comedy got over in good shape. Dan Cole man has taken a new lease on life, and he is as usual ably assisted by a
 
 of Phil Peters who better deserves a share of the billing than many who are getting that honor. Burlesque fans had better sit up and take mo- tice In a very few weeks this form of amusement in Brid dgeport will be gone for A long spell.

Hayakawa, the only real Japanese actor on the screen, and e&ceeolnsiy popular in his robes, is also popular off the screen. With his little Jap anese wife, Tsuru Aoki, he lives in a cute little bungalow in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles, where most all the movie people live.
 Mrs. Hayakawa, by the way, has just returned from a visit to her par ents in Japan, her first visit home in 20 years.
 Laden with trunks she came. In them were a collection of the most ravishing kimonos and obis that could be imagined. When poor Husband Hayakawa got the bill he nearly too, not a REEL one! For the bill was-hold your breath-s25, 900!
 T thought everything was cheap in Japan!" protested an interviewer.
 Surely, rice and shoes are cheap, but not clothes" replied Mrs H., in her carefully chosen English. You cannot get nice kimonos in Japan for less than $40, and many of them are as high as $500. Then The obis are great many to keep in style"
 gro keep in style? I thought Japan was place that Dame Fashion didn't bother with ?-'
 Indeed you are wrong" she re- haps, would never notice the change in style, but to Japanese it is very apparent. The shape of the kimono and the width of the obi (the wide sash that encircles the kimone) do the designs and materials differ all most as much as they do in Ameri- ca''

POII'S,

PoRs bulges with entertainmen: the last three days of this week. From the first bit of illustrated news in the Pathe Weekly to the last scene. in The Testing Block" the show IS good.
 ''The Testing Block is a golden tale of the golden west in the days when the hunt for gold spurred men on through trackless wastes and mag remember the sentimental ballad, Darling Nellie Gray" around which thLs piece was written, will enjoy 'nThe Testing Block" as they have en- joyed few pictures.
 Every one of the five vaudeville acts at PolTs is entertaining or hiSn- ly amusing. Who's My Wife, the feature offering, scores heavily. The most laughable act on the bill is Me- Grath and Deeds, a pair of real com tcs. Deeds has q corlling baritone voice while McGrath's pipes register in the high tenor scale. An interest ing fact in connection with McGrath the impression that he is a woman, Another interesting truth is that he made a reputation in and about Cleveland, his home town, as a ban tamweight prize fighter.

What's s In A Name?"

She won't tell where she got her name, but it's good one for her. She IS rich now. but don't envy her, girls, for she has had some struggle to get there!
 In the first place Irene Rich is one of the up and coming motion picture stars You've seen her with Will Rogers, with Tom Moore, with Mary Pickford in stella Maris," with Earle Will liams-and you've seen her scores of times in little bits before she achieved big supporting roles.
 She was born in Buffalo, N. Y-, was married when she was very young, and a little child was all that was left of her first romance. Then, later, finding the struggle to support herself and child pretty hard job, she married colonel in the army. With him her life was just a repetition of her former experience, and an- other child was left to her.
 This time she decided that marriage again was not the way out of her economic difficulties. so she went to California, and literally hung around the studios. Life then was just one casting di- rector after another.
 Finally, one day she said to one of them: You might just as we'll give me a small part, because I have come to stay" He ad- mired her courage, and gave her d Dit to do. Then more "bits" began to come along. until final ly she landed a considerable part, and from there to supports was an easy matter. For, you see, Irene is made of the stuff that great actresses are made of.
 My life always seems to me to have started backwards" she said, one day. My romance, my marriage, my children, came first, and now my work. Usually it's
