Problems That Perplex

w. II. p: You write for infor-
nation as to how to get into the
movies. There are no regular stu
dios In Omaha. although the Pathe
Weekly has studio here, and there
is the Argus Enterprise firm, which
specializes in commercial pictures.
Your local movie theater can give
you the addresses of the best NOV
ing picture concerns. AS you know,
the biggest companies are in New
York, southern California and Chi
cago. II you make up your mind TO
enter the pictures I would advise
you to go to a established, rep
utable firm. But il you have a jcb
alre eady l would never advise you to
give it up to try ana enter an al
ready overcrowded field. Have you
any reason for believing you would
be success? Do you even know
whether yours is the type of face
which screens WELL" as they say?
Times are not flourishing in the
moving picture business and you
will find many screen stars are go
ing back onto the legitimate stage
temporarily as result. There is
too much unemployment and misery
this year for anyone who has good
job to give it up for forlorn hope,
just because he is not altogether
contented where he is.
A Blond: 1t is hard for me to
tell why you are not more popular
with boys. You say you are "jolly,
laughable and seldom get angry"
Perhaps in your efforts to be ami
mated and Jolly" you do too much
of the talking. Try being a good
listener, draw the boys out on sub
jects that interest them, and appre-
ciate their jokes A sympathetic
person who thinks more about the
person she is talking with than
about herself and the impression she
is creating is usually sincerely liked.
Don't try to initiate your more popu-
lar girl friends. You will only end
in making yourself silly and affected.
When a boy brings you home from
a party it is better not to sit in his
car at all. regardless of the hour.
IT it is early in the evening, not later
than 10, you might invite him to
come in with you. but it is entirely
unnecessary. Certainly boy should
not put his arm around girl while
they are going home, neither is it
good form for him to hold her arm,
street is slippery AS to your last
proposition. the girl; you. mention
were not courteous You could pro-
tect yourself against a repetition by
not going out with them again. If
they were real friends they would
not be so inconsiderate.
Troublesome Connie: I'm glad to
hear you are not hoy crazy" AS to
accepting invitations to go out with
boys, l should do so now and then
if I enjoyed their company. Ger
tainly. you would not accept an in
vitation from a boy whom you did
not know, although you need not
be intimately acquainted with him
before accepting an invitation. If
you wish to entertain boy and
girl at your home it is all right to
ask another boy to make a -four
some" but don't do it too often, and
don't always ask the same boy. Pop
ping corn or making candy help to
pass an evening. and there are vari-
Gus good four-handed card games,
such as 500, rummy and hearts. If
you have long table, pingpong Is
good fun for two or four. Music
is the best of entertainment.
Chums: Take your parents ad-
vice about going with boys. Are
YOU too young to wear silk stock
ings? That is not matter of
years but of expense. Can you at
ford to wear them to school?
June: Surely the young man owes
you an apology and il he does not
think enough of you to make it, he
is not worthy your regard.
