Strand Attraction

If someone had hurled a bomb
shell into Universal City greater
CONSERVATION could not have result
ed than followed the casual an
nouncement of little f~ive-year-old
Stanley Goethals that he was going
to get a haircut.
On it's face this appears an inno-
cent enough decision for a young
ster to make, even a praise-worthy
one, but for Stanley to reach such a
momentuous verdict was too much,
even for the shock-proof officials of
Universal. The trouble was that
many of the later scenes in The
Trap" had been photographed and
in each and every one Stanleys
bobbed blond locks were conspicu-
Gus. Now with some of the earlier
scenes about to be photographed,
to have a Stanley with closely crop
ped locks-well, it was out of the
question. that was all.
"why, Stanley. your hair is very
pretty, just the way it is" purred
Irene Rich. in an endeavor to vamp
the f~ive-year-old. =.
Nav faint. l look like a flapper,"
responded the hopeful.
ooh, no, Stanley. your hair is one
of the reasons L like you so much
tIldL l. bllIlS you Soiiuy oNShy 'Us
said Dagmar Godowsky, as she took
up the cudgels.
"'san wrong. it's out, I'm a regu-
lar guy" insisted the y%oungster.
For two hours the debate waged
furiously, with everyone from office
boy to director-general ag'in STAN
ley, but the namesake of the famous
general hung on with the tenacity
of the wild wolf that prowled in a
nearby cage, waiting for the big
scene in the northwestern drama
Just when it seemed the y%oungster
was about to dart off and get the
fatal deed over with, Lon CLANCY,
star of THE Trap" arrived on the
scene.
Now, Mr.. Cocktails, don't you
think a regular guy like yourself, a
chap that's playing a big part in a
big picture, has a duty to his art"
tactfully asked CLANCY.
"By gosh, that's right. Mr.. Cha
ney. Art comes first with us actors"
captulated the five-year-old and
pranced away to tease the wolf.
1.-THE Trap" and Stanley's bobbed
locks were saved for the public and
will be seen at the Strand theatre
today and tomorrow.
