good program in its miniature con-

Marriage OF Figaro" an arrange
ment by Breeskin for four violins of
the popular "Nola," and Tonight

q world survey and Aesop Fable.
In "The Return of Peter Grimm"
the motion picture is given oppor-
tunity to disclose its admirable adap-
tation to the presentation OF a sub
ject involving return to earth of
spirit after death. The photography
Is excellently contrived to depict old
Peter Grimm in a spiritual return to
his home, and his anguish In trying
TO unraNeI some Dl Tie ldIlSIcu
threads he unwittingly had tied while
alive.
The story is appealing. The acting
of Alec b. Francis as "Oom Peter" Is
OF high order. John Roche plays the
role of the villain son of Peter Grimm
with furtive and nervous realism.
Mickey McBan, in the role of little
William, beloved little waif taken
tenderly under protection Of old Peter,
gives as fine bit of child delineation
as has been seen.
Peter while alive pledges his ward,
Catherine (Janet Gaynor), to marry
his son Frederik. not realizing she
loves another and that his own son
Frederik was the father of unfor-
tunate little William. In his return
In the spirit Peter struggles desper-

USELESS" CUSHION
is SEEN RETURNING
Women Favor Colorful Creations as
Works of Art Variously Deco
rated, But Poor Comfort.

The ornate, perfectly unless
cushion seems to be coming back into
style. But the women who advocate
these new colorful, elaborate cushions
assure you that while the fancy
cushions of a generation ago were
monstrosities, these new cushions are
works Of art.
One that might be mentioned is a
large cushion of black velvet decorated
with large apparently Chinese letters
worked In green and gold. One always
wonders what these Chinese letters
really signify. and If some of the
stories one hears are true it would
be better not to entertain any guests
from China until you were quite sure
that there was nothing offensive or
too ridiculous written on your new
cushion.
Satin cases stuffed in fan shapes
elaborated with colored feathers are
among the new perfectly useless
cushions. Then there are black velvet
or satin cushions that are decorated
with bouquets or baskets of flowers
worked in raff1a
