LONDON, March 1.-THE horrors
and tragedies of the war have been
visited on the children born during
that period and school results suffer
in consequence, according to r. B.
Wight, headmaster of Nottingham
Mundella Secondary School. In an
address at the annual distribution of
prizes he said:
Children born during the war and

They are handicapped by an inertia
due to the hardships of wartime,
which reflects itself in their intelli-
gence and general application to

Shortest Route
They were eight miles from Mel
ton Mowbray station. They scorned
roads and pathways, and cut straight
across country, taking bitches and
fences as they came. The prince
was mounted on a new steeplechaser,
which he intends to ride in point-to-
point events this season, and he de-
lighted in giving his mount a su-
preme test. Hobbs said later he had
difficulty in keeping up with the
royal rider.
The prince dashed up to the sta
ton, his horse breathing hard, just
on the minute, only to learn that the
train was ten minutes late. He
smilingly thanked Hobbs for showing
him the shortest route.

HAS
SOME RIGHTS IN
new YORK CITY
New Traffic Regulations
Rank Walking Above Mo-
toring at Times.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE year
1927 brought new set of regulations
for the New York motorist and adj
ded protection for the pedestrian.
Under the new code, adopted by
the police traffic board, after months
of study, the automobile driver must
give the right of way to the pedes-
trian at crossings not guarded by an
officer or a signal device.
Elimination of traffic congestion
is one of the principal objects of the
regulations. 1t is estimated by the
board that this causes a loss of
100000 day in New York. Park
ing close to an excavation or OBJ
struction was assigned as the prin-
cipal cause OF congestion. The rules
forbid parking within twenty-five
feet of these. Parking close to
corner and all night parking are al
so forbidden and other factors aid
ing congestion. The, ordinance cover
ing double parking is more ade-
quately handled.
The policeman is granted the right
to disregard the automatic signals
and to assume control Of traffic him
self any time that he believes an
emergency exists. The board ex-
planned that it is impossible for a
mechanical device to exercise per-
feet control at all times under chang
ing conditions and that the system
must be flexible.
Longer waiting periods between
"go" and "stop" lights is also pro-
vided.
"An almost instantaneous change
in the direction of traffic gives no
opportunity for clearance" the board
said. ITO meet this condition the
regulations have been changed to
provide an interval of several sec
onds between the red and green
lights and vice verse to permit the
pedestrians who are crossing the mo-
|ment the lights change to reach the
sidewalk in safety and to permit We
hicles which have entered the area
/ of intersection to pass beyond that
1erea."

Although the hounds often leave the

the dogs are dangerous.

Jean Hersholt.

TEAM HERSHOLT, a noted char
acter actor of the screen. has given
screen portrayals in the last few years
that range from despicable villainy
to light comedy, finally tending to-
wards sympathetic character interpre-
tations. in which he is seen in alias
the Deacon" the Universal Pictures
production, which is booked for show
ing here.
In the much-discussed production of
Greed" Hersholt's characterization
of the mean, grasping, conceited small
town sport will be recalled as an
outstanding feature of the picture.
In Stella Dallas" his role was played
with a realism that was described as
almost Russian in it's ruthlessness."

ton with light comedy. In THE
Wrong Mr.. Wright" he turned to pure
farce comedy, and in THE Old Soak"
his portrayal of the delightful old
tlppler won the unreserved praise of
Don Marquis, author OF the play from
which the picture was made.
Jean Hersholt was born in Copen-
hagen. Denmark. He studied art in
that city for several years, then took
up a career on the stage.
He came to America in 1916, in
charge of the exhibit of his nation at
the San Francisco Worlds Exposition,
and remained here for a film career,
first as an actor and then a director.
He returned to his old profession of
acting a few wears ago and has be-
come one of the screens most cele.

THE tremendous strides made in

The plane has a wing spread four

Washington Knows Him.

EDWARD ARNOLD, not so long ago
great stock favorite in Wash
ington, was born in New York City
81 years ago, and has been on the
stage more than half of his life. He
says he expects to continue as an actor
until the final call comes from the
Supreme Producer.
At the age of 10 Arnold's father
died, and he went to work in a law
office as office boy. After three years
in this branch of professional life he
decided that law was not to his liking.
He then went to work for an uncle and
also tried to work his way through
Columbia University as a civil engi-
neer. One day, while dreaming of his
future, he allowed one of the big
boilers to become overheated and left
the university much quicker than it
takes to tell it here.
1t was then he started his stage
career, which began with the Ben
Greet Repertoire Co. Next he ap-
peared with Robert Mantell and then
with Maxine Elliott in "The Chap
eron." Following this he spent three
years with Ethel Barrymore, who was
touring in Mid Channel AMI Tire
lawney of the Wells.''
For 10 years following he became
one of the best known leading men
of stock, and was at the Walnut
Street Theater, Philadelphia, with the
William Ingersoll Go. During the 10
years he devoted to stock he played
more than two hundred characters,
but appeared in only six cities.
When the famous Essanay Picture
Co. was formed he was one of it's first

has been seen in prominent roles in

COMEDY teams and pairs Of which
you see only half often are as
effective for manufacturing laughs as
those in which both members are
busily clowning before the camera.
In other words, some comedians are
most effective when they simply think
funny" or when they tell others how
to 'act funny" Sometimes pair of
laughmakers both keep out Of sight,
but their combination is reflected in
the outlaws Of the audience just the
same.
The Christie brothers, AL and Charlie,
are examples of these unseen but eff
fective funnies. For years from be-
hind the cameras they have been max
ing people laugh. They've never made
anything else but comedy, and their

Gates how fertile they are in ideas.
