Wednesday only-Endless days and
nights of steady rain; tropical fever
that racks the body and defuddles the
mind-would all this be enough to
kill the spark of love of a husband
for his wife? This interesting sit
uatiOn arises in "If | Marry Again"
Thursday only-"The O'Brien Girl"
the big Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago
and New York musical comedy hit
supreme, strikingly demonstrates that
George NJ. Cohan has an almost un-
canny knowledge of "what the people
want" 'The O'Bnen Girl is Alice
O'Brien, a charming stenographer, who
is spending the last of some inherited
money-nOt a fortune, but a measly
$500, which proves that Cohan disre-
CARDS the Old-time formulas of musi-
cal cOmedy-at a "swell' hotel in the
Adirondacks. In word, ''The O'Brien
Girl" sends home with humorous en-
phasis the idea which George NJ. Co
han has specialized on ever since he
started his career-"You know my
philosophy. Specialize on smiles!"

Messing Little Robinson Crusoe," !"
Jackie CoOgan's latest Metro-GOldwyn
picture, the wonder arises why this
film wasn't made sooner! 1t is so
obvious that Jackie should appear in
a juvenile version of the famous Rob
inson Crusoe story-the famous boy
star in the immortal tale of a desert
isle. Jackie's adventures realize to
the full every dream of boyhood days,
and it is, for once, not too much to
say that the picture is a "knock-out.

Two great "rushes" across the con-
tinent mark the history of the Vests
development. The first was the rush
of the forty-niners from the East to
the gold-felds of California and the
free lands of Oregon. The second
was the rush of '76 by the farmers of
the Mississippi valley to the buffalo
fields of Montana and Wyoming. 1t
is this latter rush that forms the
theme of Zane Grey's "The Thunder
ing Herd"

Comparison of French
and English Housewives

1t is said that the French working
woman's only thoughts concern food
and money. She certainly manipu-
lates the former with great skill and,
as is we'll known, her savings are the
backbone of her country. Whenever
a fresh loan is flOated in France long
queues of housewives are always wait
Ing outside the banks with their
money.
In running a household in France
one soon finds out that the maids
must be well fed. They will put up
with sleeping accommodations which
British maids would not tolerate, but
there is no compromise on food, says
writer in London Answers.
A cook, though she will keep her
pots and pans spOtlessly clean, will
not wash a floor with much zeal. The
Understanding French women, it is
interesting to note, have, as a rule.
perfectly kept hands.
French women tell me that there
Is more love in a French home than
in a British one, and that they are
more concerned with the family we'll
being than we are.
Gossip, largely keenly critical in
character, is rife among better-class
French women. Their talk, indeed is
criticism, criticism, and always crlti-
cism. There is jealousy for the wOm-
an who looks nice and laughter for
the one who doesn't. A French woman
will not admit to age until it is really
upon her. Then. socially. she becomes
indeed a back number.
Spirit is said to be the keynote Of
a French woman's character. Armed
with 1t, she never admits defeat,
whether in the world of commerce or
Of conquest. And this spirit, with
which she downs" a rival, enables her
also to cheer on her husband TO fame
and fortune.

At The Strand. Smyrna

On Friday evening May first.
To the young artist with the in
stinctive desire to express the beauty
and truth about life, and who would
choose the motion picture screen as a
medium, | say study, study, study.
This is the advice given to ambitious
aspirants by Mary Alden, who though
herself beautiful, has chosen to hide
that beauty beneath the grease-paint
of the theatrical makeup in order
that she might play those character
types that call for sterling dramatic
ability rather than a mannikin type
of beauty adorned by richly designed
costumes. Just how successful Miss
Alden has become in presenting char
acter roles will be seen here when
she appears in the leading feminine
rOle-a mother type-in "a Woman's 5

Greater Than Marriage" is one of
those films that appeal to everyone.
1t has the elements of popular appeal

Monday and Tuesday-To be sure,
fapper stories are not unusual; their
actions seem to follow a certain for
mula of cigarette smoking, cocktail
drinking, petting parties, and lip
stick, but "The Tenth Woman" pre-
sents an entirely different angle of the
unconventional girl. 1t is about a
married fiapper, and perhaps that is
where the difference comes in.

PROSPECTS
DECR|ED
Congressman Begg lens
President Only Hope Is to
Embody Changes in Bill

Growing opposition to the Smoot-
Brown reorganization bill in Con-
gress was predicted yesterday by Con
gresham Martin Madden, chair
man of the House Appropriations
Committee. and Congressman Begg'
Of Ohio, both of whom called at the
White House.
Congressman Madden is skept1-
cal overthe prospect of any reor-
ganization legislation in the next
session Of Congress. He declared
thNt the opposition 70 the plan
worked out by the joint commits
zion on reorganization was strong
and active. He indicated, however,
that Senator Edges proposal OF
giving President Coolidge full con-
troll over the reorganization issue
would attract considerable support
in the House, and that it might
afford q solution Of the problem.
Congressman Begg declared that
the only chance of having Con-
sress enact a reorganization bill
would be by taking up each Fed
eral department separately and en-
hodying the proposed changes in a
number Of independent bills. He
said the combined opposition to a
complete reorganization program
would be sufficient to defeat it in
the next session Of Congress, just as
1t has in the past.
