MOVIE l E

Wallace Reid's Paramount picture, ''Too Much Speed" scored heavily at the Empress Theater where it was shown Saturday night. It is one of the most delightful of Reid's automo- | bile race pictures and the leading characters of the production, having been introduced in "What's Your Hurry?" are familiar t. screen audi ences. Agnes Ayres and Theodo1A Roberts are the principals in the sup port. "Too Much Speed" will be shown tonight for the last time.
 Pardon My French" is the latest Messmore Kendall picture starring Vivian Martin, and it provides a de- lightful medium for that very viva cious star. Miss Martin plays the part of young actress who finds her profession too unlucrative and is forced to take the position of maid in a newly-rich households; while an- other member of the company plays the part of the butler in the family.
 The adventures of the maid and the butler are at all times amusing and often dramatic. There is a tale '~trigue and fortune, hunting woven into the love story, between Polly and a neighbor which provides excitement for moments when laughter is stopped. The picture is released by Goldwyn and will be seen at the Empress to- morrow.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 5. - Dr. Albert Einstein, famous physicist, was off cially notified that he had been awarded the Nobel prize for scientific research upon his arrival here by the Swedish Consul-General
 Dr. Enstein expressed pleasure over the news which he had received unofficially two days before on ship board. Mrs. Einstein smiled proudly at her husband the famous exponent of the theory of relatively, and stated that the award was no more than she had expected
The Cordova daily times., 1923-02-05

But, according to Mrs. Einstein her husbands scientific life and his home life are as far apart as the north and south poles. She admits that her husbands theories of rela- tivity, his formulas, his scientific re- searches mean nothing in her young life.
 "No," Mrs Einstein laughed, q do not know what his books are all about-but I do not live with the genius, I live with the man. And he is just like other men. He wears holes in his sox, he scatters papers all over the house, drops cigarette ashes on my best rugs, and must have his food cooked just so."
 If Einstein's own wife admits that the Fourt Dimension and the Theory of Relativity are beyond her, then there is some hope for the rest of us.

CUTTING DOWN WASTE

That is one of the tasks of the executive, and a mighty
important one.
social relations, How many women have loaded themselves up
with memberships in clubs, only to find that there is nothing to
be gotten out of those memberships know women who play
cards week after week with other women who are perfectly
"nice" and apparently socially desirable" but who are as
invigorating as a bag of sawdust. They cheer not, neither do
they stimulate. What, then, do they do? Why, they listen.
There's nothing said that they don't hear. They remind me
of the little blood suckers that [ used to hate getting on nv
feet when / went swimming i'll the river.
Giving all of ones spirit to people who don't care and
who cant possibly understand, and who are perfectly happy
when confined to the conventional Big Maids,
Neighbors and Somewhere to Colts the most foolish waste
of ones precious time and vitality!
Leisure is such a blessed thing. It is so sweet and rare.
1t ought to be spent prayerfully, and after great deliberation.
I like to get as much out of my leisure as / would out of the
spending of my very last dollar. 1t is so infinitely precious If
it is spent rightly.
The young bride who goes to a new city to live, after she
has received her degree of Mrs, often has a hard time of it
socially, if her husband hasn't been known, or if she hasn't
had kind friends to furnish her with the necessary socaLentry.
In her sheer loneliness for home companionship Of her own
sex, she joins the first club that promises a little diversion of
finding congenial friends. She is friendly, generous of her
social gifts Of sympathy and fun and readiness to center in"
to others interests. She is quite willing to take for granted
the same qualities in her new friends, since she is an oppor-
tunist, not a cold-blooded, calculating aspirant to the most ex-
elusive set in town. All that she hopes for is friendhness
among people who are well-bred and intelligent and genuine,
just simple humans.
Quite likely she finds out that in her optimism she has
oyer-estimated her club members, that they are just PLAIN,
mediocre, empty-headed persons, with neither charm OF per-
sonality nor breadth of mind nor warmth of heart, and with
out any interest whatsoever in those whom kind Fortune has
endowed with such gifts. If SO, there IS not only lack OF IN
terest, but positive suspicion on the part OF THESE newcomers
who dom think in the same grooves.
T should like my little bride to consider her waste OF her
Gifts. She is somewhat hard to convince, because she Is a very
modest person and is inclined to underestimate herself tar
more than is good for her souls health. She laughs When l
say that she is wa sting herself in the society OF cloddlsn ana
petty people. For, unfortunatelythere are always people to
be found who speak her language. For her 10 spehd e I'LL
with those who don't, is WASTE.

What Interests the Male

1t was the Voice Of Wisdom coun-

Maybe it is true. But somehow

some of thAother things that interest
men, we're not so flattered. Our
editor sits up nights tearing what

his cogitations he has reduced the
problems to fashions, baked bean
recipes, love affairs (of other peo-
ple), how to reduce the family bud

out of the lunch cloth.
Be that as it may, we do not find a
