feared to knock upon his great, bolted

VERA GORDON-OFF STAGE


If you have seen Vera Gordon
through your tears-on the stage, you
have seen Vera Gordon off stage.
For she is just as pretty, plump
and appealing g-and almost as dra-
matic-when you sit opposite her
fortunate person that you are! and
listen to her and admire her.
For the greatest mother in the
MOVIES" with her beautiful, clear
olive skin, her wonderful profile, her
pretty mannerisms, her very charm
ing smile, is most attractive.
You hear Miss Gordon saying she
has two children. The brown-haired
flapper across the room is one; the
other, son, is in New York. Miss
Gordon explains:
"While I am at the theater, there
are the people, the music, the ap-
plause, the laughter! But when I
come to my room, then I am alone!
So sent for her. Now I am no longer
lonesome" (The "Greatest Mother"

Florida Congressman
Who Is Making Good

In Tuesdays issue, Louis Ludlow,
Metropolis Washington CORE spondent
in the course of news story about the
activities Of Congressman SmithwiclI
of the Third Florida Congressional
district, said; 1T, is declared by his
friends that Representative Srnithwick
is perhaps more jealous than any
other member Of congress in attend
ing to the interests of his const!tu-
ency"
Indeed, sn this age Of congressional
orotory, when it seems the practice
is for members OF congress to seek
personal glory rather than to devote
themselves to the interests of their
constituents, this is the most compli-
mentary report that could be made on
the activities Of a states representa-
tive. However Mr.. Smithwick's habit
of staying awake" and by results in
forming the people Of his district he is
on the job is generally known among
those who keep IN touch with Wash
ngton politics, and it is only fair that
the people OF Florida generally, and
the people of the third district par
ticularly, should be informed as to this

representative, who has proved him
self an efficient public official and n
statesman in the national sense, true
Ito the principles OF his party but at
the same time not partisan to the ex
tent Of blocking moves for the public
good.
MIR. Snithwicks name does not ap-
pear in the public prints as often as
the names OF some of his associates,
and Mr.. Ludlow explains this, saying:
| Notwithstanding the fact that he is
anything but Garrulous, and prefers TO
perform his duties with a minimum
display Of oratory. the gentleman from
the third Florida district is said TO
have more friends in congress than
scores of soIons who have been ident-
flied with the legislation making
branch Of the nation for several terms.
He makes friends rapidly, and has the
happy faculty of keeping them, and OF
securing their corporation at any
! time he needs it to get something for
his constituency
! In a democratic form OF government
! such as this nation has. the various
representatives are supposed TO pvi-
arily represent their constituents
and in so doing direct the national af-
ifairs of the government. Naturally
there must be agreements and com
