/ like to play roles such as ! have
in "a Man of Action" where in or
der to earn the love of the girl he
wants to marry the hero has to get
out into the world and DO THINGS.
or in "What A Wife Learned" which
really teaches a good moral lesson.
1t may be more exciting to play

/ thoroughly believe in the saying "as
a man thinks so he is" and if you
keep thinking vampish thoughts you
simply can't help being Influenced by
them.
That is the secret of the Coue cult.
While a man is saying over and over
to himself that he is getting better
and better, it is naturally impossible
for him to do something which would
make him worse.
While we are on the subject OF
vamps, / want to call attention to the

man who drops into the studio and
chatters about nothing or Importance
and absorbs minutes and sometimes
hours of your time. And the vamp
who insist on pouring into your SYM
pathetic ears all the tales of his or
her real and imaginary woes. And
the vamp who presumes upon very
slight acquaintance for asking all
sorts of favors.
Of course, vamping doesn't affect
everybody in the same way. Marcia
Mlanon plays real dyed-in-the-wooi
vamp parts in "The Masquerader"
and "Skin Deep"-just the most de-
testable kind of vamps they are-yet
she seems to thrive on it and is one
of the jolliest hostesses / know.

much abused Pollyanna parts or the
wife who simply oozes tears-l don't
like these either very much, but |
prefer them to the bloodthirsty vamp.

avoid her-just as one can avoid

fell for her siren song and ghoulish
tactics didn't get much sympathy for

he got tangled up in her net.
But this is the day of the baby
vamp-the young blonde debutante
who scorns the scalps of her con-
temporaries, and goes after the mid

what has been well named the Dam

parts one must assume heartlessly

the world in general which is really

HIS OWN
POWER
Expert Political Leaders So
Assert, Analysing the situa-
ton He Has Created.
By WILLIAM HARD.

Mr.. Ford's real political heirs
are La Toilette and McAdoo.
They will not have to wait to
come into possession of their
heritage. It is theirs to have and
to hold at once. Ford now is
totally dead, politically"
Opinions of Experts.
such Is the view taken here by
the most experienced Observers of
the element within which Ford has
his chief political strength. They
are confirmed in this view by their
hdings yesterday and today from
the Northwest. They now freely ex-
press themselves in sum as follows:
"Ford's true strength was his
strength in the Northwest. 1t is
there-and there only-that the
third-party enthusiasm exists which
has given the Senate it's radical
Senators and which really was
ready to follow Mr.. Ford on an IN
dependent third-party ticket.
Ford's influence with the Re
publican and Democratic parties
rested entirely on his ability to
make trouble for them by running
independent; and his power 20 run
independent was pivoted entirely on
the Northwest.
Now he has lost his pivot and
his power is gone. The whole
radical element in the whole North
west has propagandized itself into
absolutely permanent opposition TO
President Coolidge's safe and sane
agricultural policy. The La Toilette
chieftains and the McAdoo man.
ayers in the Northwest have always
In private maintained that Ford as
q radical was q fake Now they
are out In the open to say it
publicly and they are having an
easy time proving it from their
standpoint.
1.-The radical farmer in the North
west has not been radical because
Of going along with Ford. He has
been for Ford because he thought
that Ford was going along with
him. Ford cannot change one
radical Northwestern farmer into
O conservative. AL that he has
done now among such farmers by
coming cut for Coolidge is to corr
vince them that he has abandoned
them in their opposition to the
Presidents agricultural policy and
in their radical effort to get direct
relief for agriculture out Of the
public treasury.
Eliminated, Is Belief.
HE thus eliminates himself
among them and leaves to La Fol-
lette and to McAdoo the special
right to pronounce his political
funeral grafton. They will do it.
Ford is an autocrat in his factory,
Ford is an enemy of unions, Ford
is a believer in the principle that
O super-man should do all the
thinking and that everybody else
as an employee should do nothing
but obey-that is the Ford whom
the La Toilette and McAdoo orators
