THE MOVIES, HAYS. AND THE
HARDING CABINET

The first thing the movie magnates
did after getting the acceptance of
Will Hays to become FTLMMASTER
GENERAL was to insure his life for
50, 600, 900.
That shows what they think OF his
chancesl
The biggest fight scene ever staged
in the movie world may come when
the new commissioner tries to do
something the movie men don't like.
Mr.. Hays. safety depends upon
whether they give him time for re-
hearsals.
Before accepting the offer OF $780,
600 a year Mr.. Hays had a long con-
ference with President Harding. The
president wanted 10 know why the
movie men hadn't first made him the
offer. Mr.. Harding win not have 10
work two years for the same salary
his former postmaster general gets
in one.
~ would rather be right than be
President" said q famous American.
~ would rather be Hays than be
either, said a leading finaneier to-
day.
The real reason for the selection
Of Mr.. Hays was revealed today.
The movies had been criticized so
much for low brow stuff that the
magnates decided to hire the coun-
try's greatest man of letters.
The report that Charles Evans
Hughes, secretary of state, had been
offered high commissionship of the
National Association of Jockey Clubs,
at a salary Of 10 per cent of all race
track wagers, had not been verified
at press time.
Secretary DENLY of the Navy De-
partment refused to affirm or deny
a rumor that he had been offered the
post Of Imperial Kleagle of the
United Circus Tentmen. Canvasmen
and Seal Feeders Association.
President Harding was visibly
alarmed over the prospect of his
cabinet desertinR him for higher pay
ing positions. "Of course, l like TO
see the boys get ahead and all that
sort of thing. but l shouldn't think
they'd all want to walk out and leave
me as the only member OF the ad
ministration still working for q small
salary like $4,000 a year" he said.
Commissioner Hays announced his
first three rulings as filmmaster gen.
eral today.
Jacob Solenpeffer. president OF the
Scandal Screens Inc, was suspended
until oct. / for presenting q picture
showing a Roman arena scene in
which all the lions wore bobbed
names. This is considered immoral.
Solenpeffer is the same man who re-

laide cried. "Oh. you dear girll Am

gry!" She paused at the living room
door. 'Oh, you've got company!"

Bradish children"
There was unconscious sarcasm in
her tone, but the quick cared Rose
detected it. She sprang up and made
a dive for her coat. Blair followed
her and in a single minute the house
was rid of them.
Adelaide Moore removed her coat
and hat and sat down to the table
smiling at its appearance.
Beef soupl The very incest thing
for a cold night she murmured, dis
claiming Linda's .murmured apology
as she brought a plateful. And it
tastes delicious. Have you had your
supper dear? No? Then we can eat
together"
And they did eat together with en-
joyment, for the soup was good and
deserved the praise 1t got from Ade-
laide. The cake was good, too
everything was good. Linda began TO
feel joyous again. The thought of
the distasteful Bradishes gradually
vanished. 1t was as IL she had made
all the preparation for Adelaide and
Adelaide appreciated 1t.

NAurcH DANCE A POEM

Indian culture, like the old Greek,
employs a single name for the COM
mon art of acting and dancing: and
this word natya in it's vernacular
form becomes nautch. Nowadays the
old Indian drama scarcely survives
upon the actual stage, nor has it
ever been reproduced in Europe or
America; but authentic Indian act
ing does survive in the nautch, where
instrumental music. song, and pan
tomine are inseparably connected.
Here "the song is sustained in the
throat. the theme Is demonstrated by
the hands, the moods are shown by
the glances. and the meter is marked
by the feet'--a set OF one or two
hundred bells Is worn on each ankle.
The construction is very definite--so
h.any movements to so many beats;
and a more than this, each gesture
has a definite meaning.
An Indian handbook OF dramatic
technique consists of dictionary OF
gesture we have twenty four move
.Isnts OF the brows twenty eight
single hands. twenty-four combined
hands, etc. Each OF these gestures
like a word. indicates an emotion,
object. idea or action, so that a
sequence of gestures makes a sent
ence, and an entire dance tells a
story.
As we said before, this gesture
language is constructed on metrical
patterns, so that the dance IS like a
sonnet. BY contrast with this. mod
ern western acting and impression
Isle dancing exhibit the character
istics OF prose. In western art, even
in reading poetry the meaning, as it
were, is underlined; in oriental art
the audience is trusted TO know what
are the essential motifs and what
accessory. The express OF emo
tion is always strictly dominated by
the rhythm; in other words. the art
is conscious utterance, and is never
surrendered to the control OF per-
sonal feeling.
Further, the oriental art is never
an amusement. never mere decora-
tion. Neither is it concerned with
problems Of psychology or conduct or
the criticism OF life; IL is an office,
following the movement Of the world
whereby men may come TO under
stand that every business is unstable
and thus attain TO full self con-
sciousness and spiritual freedom.

DRY Y-cLEANlNo THE HAIR
Bv NJ. Jeasia Latch

The woman who had been i'll so
often in her life that she was dis
couraged, looked wanly at the nurse,
who approached her bed and said
You needn't come near me with a
hair brush I'm not going to have
my hair combed or brushed either.
My head hurts all the time. Leave

The nurse, who was very young
and fightfully in earnest, placed the
basket she carried on the table and
said:

All this fury of endeavor was be-

Linda Rush was in whirl of prep
aration. She had made the living
room as pleasant as might be and
laid the table in the dining room with
the best the house afforded. Con-
sidering that the house was ugly and
old and had been rented furnished at
a price very young married people
could afford, Linda had done ex-
tremely well. She was now in the
kitchen, where she was trying to do
several things at once-bake apple
sauce, cake, make soup and brew
coffee.
Linda was very young, slim and
pretty. Her dark hair was softly
about her round, flushed face. her
eyes ehone with the excitement of her
work. Her best friend, THE Modern
Cook Book" lay open on the table
within easy reach. Unhappily, even
the most friendly printed aid cannot
prevent cake from scorching, coffee
from boiling over or soup from stick
ing fast to the bottom of the kettle.

face, and her cake, looked at too Of

the table.
"Why, Blair!" she said pleasantly.
