This type, however, isn't the lowest in the
scale. More despicable than she is the mother
who by persuasion or coercion, trickery or
flattery, gains youngsters confidence and
then 'spills the beans" to father. That fe-
male is nothing more nor less than stool
pigeon and should be so branded by all decent
members of her union.
Last and most dastardly is the mother
who curries favor with her husband by run
ming to him with tales which give him a
chance to roar and bully and play the
rampant rooster in general. This type is far
commoner than you dream. She is generally

film is "Foolss Highway"
Just what the name has to do
with the story is much to be de-
termined. AS a matter Of fact
there are times during the show
INF: of the picture when one en-
tertains serious doubt as to the
existence of story at all, in
which event the title would mean
nothing, since nothing represent
ed the title. However, of one
thing the directors of the produc.
ton may be quite proud and for
which they should receive all the
commentator available; the atmo
sphere of the entire film is abso-
lutely in keeping with the chrome
logy of the tale. Atmosphere may
be said to form nine-tenths of
what attraction the production
holds for film fans. None of the
principals-who include Pat
O'Malley, Buster Collier, Max
Davidson and Lincoln Plummer
are forced to over-exert them.

You should have heard the spon-

The surrounding bill is of un-
usual excellence. The Benson

much pep or the boards Of the

playing several of che latest dance

In burlesque, the chorus always

to say here that these babies

their singing, well, who ever hears

are numerous, colorful and scant.
