New Palace Policy

The entertainment exchange

What with Lionel Barrymore's

acting as master of ceremonies
for the first.rate stage events
there was nothing left for the
overcrowded house to do but revel
in good entertainment.

Fancy Antics in a
Pullman
Car

A typical bedroom farce that
takes place in a Pullman car is
the featured attraction at the
Metropolitan this week. 1.-THE
Girl in the Pullman" spiced with
more than a liberal dash of
paprika, is a first rate farce. The
action, of course, is furious from
start to finish, much of it taking
place in the Pullman. There is
a thrill at the end of this sexy
opus when the car is broken loose
from the train and careens wildly
down the mountainside.
Marie Provost takes the heavy

BIZ NEA SerUice
STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Aug. A.
The society reporter may cover a
wedding some day that will send her
back to her typewriter with a report
like this:
THE bride looked perfectly syn
thetic as she stood at the altar in
her all-white costume of chemical
compounds"
And she'll be right about every
thing except the soles of the brides
shoes. For chemistry has succeeded
in reproducing alphabetically every
thing, except the one item of sole
leather, that the modern bride may
wear.
So the futuristic reporter may
continue:
Her sheer white dress was of
artificial silk fiber, trimmed with
artificial silk lace. The sleeves of
cellulose acetate came down to her
wrists, and the nitrocellulose veil
flowed dainty down from a crown
of paraffin-coated calcium carbonate
orange blossoms"
This wouldn't be Of her own con-
coction, either. She would merely
be victim CT the influence the syn
thetic chemist has had on the world
How great this influence already is
was just revealed here to the MEM
bers of the Institute of Chemistry

Pennsylvania State College.
Mrs. Mack, to prove her conten-
ton that this world is almost all
synthetic already, had Miss Eliza

costume, except for the soles of her
shoes.

Penalty of
Ending All
Conventions
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON


What is the right standard of liv-
ing?
When do we know that we are let
ting down the bars of convention too
much, and when too little?
Why do we not live like the pio-
neers Of old in little shack Of one
or two rooms2 Why d owe use table,
cloths and silver forks on our tables
and spreads on our beds?
When do convention and decent
living become extravaganza? How
are we to know the things we may
do without and the things that
social usage says we must have?
A young married woman living in
a western city declared that by liv-
ing out near the mine, of which ner
husband was superintendent, they
could save money. There would be
no standard of living to keep up and
it was their chance to pile up a
goodly sized bank account.
Ten years later, timid shabbily
dressed person called upon an old
friend in the city, who, to the
friends establishment, proved to be
the young woman who had so cour-
ageously left convention behind and
braved life in the wilds with her
mining husband.
She had come for advice. II
should have come sooner" she said,
hesitatingly. But I did not realize
what was happening to us, I've been
out of touch with people and things
for so long I haven't dared to ven
ture near any of my old haunts.
1--WE started by saving on laundry.
We used oilcloth on the table. I
wasn't very we'll, so to save steps we
ate in the little kitchen. I never
dressed in the evening, as there was
no one to see me. Steve came home
tired and dirty. We had no bath
room and he'd just wash his hands
take of his coat and sit down to
supper. He said there was no use
in shaving-no one saw him but the
Mexican miners and their families
was usually too tired to read, so
gave up trying to keep up on things.
We did let down dreadfully.
1--WE have a little money now, but
aren't we too far gone TO enjoy 1t?
1 have no sense Of values left. I
can't even talk to people.
mo" said the friend. But you
will be if you keep it up a minute
longer. You've lost your ideas OF
values but you will get them back
in time. I'll help you"
Convention looks like superficial
thing, but is it? Does it not choose
our values for us-take the respon-
sibility of living, so to speak, and
keep us up to the mark'

Men Don't
Like Jokes
on SeLUeS
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Men are inconsistent creatures.
Reading their angry retorts under
criticism, one wonders If the chief
essential they lack is not a sense Of
humor. do not mean that they do
not have clever minds or quick wit,
or that jokes must be diagrammed
for them. But while they can laugh
uproariously at women, so few of
them seem to be able to laugh at
themselves, which is, after all, the
essence Of humor.
Comes now Herbert Henshaw.
editorial writer for the BROOKLYN
Life, and contends that the perpe-
traitor OF this column has a terrific
crouch on the men, all because T
said I envied them their ability to
go fishing and get as much fun OUT
Of it as little boys do.
or course, Henshaw resorts TO the
same old word of opprobium,
man hater." Ridiculous term. Be-
cause no woman is a man hater lust
as no man is a woman hater.
The truth is that the men have
been making clever little Jokes about
our sex since the world began, call
ing attention to our shortcomings.
our peculiar ways, our follies and
our sins. But they do not seem to
derive the same pleasure when they
must listen to anything derogatorQ
to their virtues.
There Is excellent reason for this.
All men have inherited superiority
completes, just as all women arc
born with subtle sense of Inferior
ity. Men dislike criticism of their
sex because they have had so little
Of 1t. Probably unnumbered wives
and mothers have sat together over
their spinning discussing the queer
ways and the cast iron prejudices
Of their menfolks. but they did not
speak about that in the public
prints.
Now we women can read the most
scathing and even insulting things
said about us and never turn a hair.
We are so used to 1t. Ever since

But the sex that has filled the
Congressional Record with their
mouthings can let out yells Of laugh
ter at the statement that women
are the champion takers, and in
spite Of the fact that since the
dawn of history they have engaged
in bloody wars, they cling to the

But don't mention it aloud. for II

ASSERTS BOBBED HAIR
OF WOMEN TO STAY
81 United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The shingle
bob is here to stay; long hair will
never come back, M. Eugene of
Paris. famous exponent of the
permanent wave told delegates to
a cosmetic convention here.
"a long haired woman is now the
proper exhibit for the museum" he
declared. "Only one woman in 10C
is letting her hair grow out, and
those who start this change their
minds before their hair gets long
enough to put up"
The only persons now wearing
long hair are children, he explained
Now girls cut off their curls when
they grow up in much the same
spirit that their mothers put up
their hair upon reaching their ma
jority.
