1t is not surprising, 1t Is pointed

overlooked that producers Of pictures

reliable grounds for believing they

Costume plays, particularly where

Home and Mother:

This IL a mistake. A girls home
should not only be the foundation for
her venture into the business or pro-
fessional world, but 1t should also be
a source of constant encouragement
and inspiration. A nan may possibly
do better work when left entirely to
his own resources, but girl is more
sensitive and flexible in nature. Con-
sequently she is more responsive to
conditions.
"In the home she Is surrounded by
an atmosphere Of confidence and SYM
pathy. There she finds real relaxa-
tion from the grind of studio or
Office, and there she is less tempted
to burn up her energy in late hours
or hfgh-pitched gayety. When very
tired. bit discouraged or when con-
fronted with a problem 4 girls first
thought is always for her mother.
Her advice and guidance are invalu-

1T isn't really the bright lights

are responsible for the disaster which
may come to the girl who Is alone in

It's the lack of home influence.
Il believe that a girls greatest aid

this is Of even greater value and i'm
