A FILM CLASSIC
Continued From Page ~

Without his face, the comedy would
be rather long and drawn out.
Miss Davies is cast as a hard
working young kitchen maid who
has secret longing for romance.
An Irishman comes to town and she
falls in love with him, but the Irish
hero is having such busy time with
the rest of the buXom Holland maids
that he passes her up entirely.
If we are to believe the picture ev
eryone in Holland is big and heavy,
and we doubt this very much.
Louise Fazenda is present with her
comedy tears and her facial contor-
tions and also helps out a bit on
the comedy line. She teams up
pretty we'll with Karl Dane, who
provokes a laugh in these days by a
glimpse of his face and form only.

and in Dots.

From this time until spring is well
on the way the scene of activities in
the world of fashion will be largely
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
The winter vacation becomes each
year more general and is now a thing
for which extensive preparations are
made. Paris couturiers and American
Cressmakers. observes fashion
writer in the New York Times, are
keenly aware of the Importance of the
southern resort season, with its
rfvalries, and create for 1t their ar
tistic best in styles. Palm Beach has
became a label for dress of the type
required for the southern winter sea-
son, but the Fairgrounds are many
and the horizon of sunny lands is
wide. There are all the resorts and
clubs at all the semitropical inland
places and waters, the mountains.
springs, beaches and pine woods, to
which the world of fashion travels,
with proper equipment, which means
n harvest time for designers and mer-
chants.
Each of the fashionable winter re-
Forts is style center for which a
definite type Of dress is required. The
most varied and elaborate wardrobe
is of course. for the seashore places.
For these, one whose social activities
are general selects costumes for
many occasions-for morning, noon
and night. There must be up-to-date
clothes for the beach and the ball
room, for the tennis court and golf
grounds and for the tea garden.
An entirely different outfit is need
ed for the country clubs at the
springs and in the mountains. There
are more sports clothes, for riding,
hiking. goling and for general wear,
where the changes are less arduous.
In the smartest communities evening
dress is distinctly important and the
latest things IN gowns. wraps and ac-
cessories are worn for the dinners
and dances.
Because of the prominence given to
outdoor affairs. sports dress is par
ticularly attractive, and the most
swagger sports clothes seen in years
have been designed for this season.
New fabrics, new colors aad original
combinations are the features most
conspicuous, with a tendency to more

all of the seasons fashions and par
ticularly to southern resort togs,
which also forecast to some extent
the styles for early spring.

! sanity of his race, but man with
many human frailties and much COM
mon sense, who rose in the fulness
of time to be the political deliverer
of our country"
Those words, written nearly half a
century ago, long before any effort
had been made to dispel the myths
which had grown up around Wash
ington, are strangely prophetic of the
events of the past year which have
brought up again the question of the
real Washington and focused public
attention upon it more sharply than
it has ever been focused before. Out
standing among those events was the
criticism which met the attempt by
one of Americas best-known novel
lists to write the sort of Washington
biography of which McMaster speaks.
The novelist was Rupert Hughes and
his biography was George Washing
ton, the Human Being and the Hero"
published by William Morrow & Com
pany of New York.
In fact, looking back upon the year
many times the two names Rupert
Hughes" and George Washington"
have appeared in the news dispatches
together. 1t began in January when
Hughes made a speech at a banquet
of the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton in Washington, D. c., in which
he was described as having pictured
Washington as a 'profane, irreligious
and pleasure-loving man." Although 1t
was afterword learned that he had
been misquOted, the mischief was
done as soon as the story went out
Immediately he was attacked and
defended all over the world. Sermons
were delivered on his speech, his
| name was heard in congress and put
| in the Congressional Record, sena-
tors denounced him and he received
clippings of newspaper comment on
his speech in almost every Language.
French, German, Dutch, Spanish and
Italian.
Interest In the controversy was re-
vived in September when the Hughes
book appeared. Even though 1t did
not arouse such storm as did his
speech, it, too, was met with divided
opinion, both censure and praise. Re-
viewers-for the most part historians
| themselves-were far from unanimous
in their verdicts. Where one praised
the biographer for his painstaking
care in minute documenting of his

with authority, another criticized him
for fatal illogic and false romance
Albert Bushnell Hart, announced that
he had found 297 errors Of fact in
the book. Another reviewer declared
that "Mr. Hughes walks on all the
eggs without breaking single one
Even the most rabid biographical fun
damentalist will find little to COM
plain about in this book
So there you are! The case of Ru-
pert Hughes, the biographer, is proof
anew of the statement made by one
writer that George Washington is an
"elusive" person, for although "for
forty years, from early manhood until
the time of his death, he was in
creasingly in the public eye, the real
man, high on his pedestal OF official
and personal reserve, has been hard
to come at" A part of this is no doubt
due to the early biographers, such as
Parson Weems, who began building
up the myths about him, and the in
creasing years only served to give
them an increasing firmness of fixity
In the popular mind
Hughes has well expressed it when
he wrote, "No other man in history
has suffered so much from malfeas-
ance In office by historians. Nearly all
Of Washington's biographers have felt
