The average woman then, would
, do we'll to use tears on only at rare
intervals! She won't though. The
woman who is given to tears doles
them out often and with abandon
and She believes she has won a vic
tory when she has got her way.
We love what is lovable and a
woman who uses the weapon of tears
isn't lovable or a lovely sight; and
men, just human beings as they are,
aren't doing such a strange thing
when they turn away from the gloom
and reach toward that which spells
light and laughter to them
So the wise woman will replace
her weapon of tears with the irresist-
IDLE one of smiles. She'll surely be
surprised at results.

character. The director is probably
to blame for this because some of
the group scenes are badly handled.
In other words just when Simon
Levi should get into your hearts, the
director permits a bunch of non
sense to take the place of the big
moments of truely interesting type
play.
And yet, if I had not seen Warfield
in this play, probably would have
accepted the comedy attitude of
George Sidney as Simon Levi.
George Sidney Is a good actor in
type parts. He has mannerisms
which register with telling ease, but
Simon Levi Is a character of life,
not a comedy edition.
Be your own judge, as usual. Sid
ney may be your idea of Simon. If
he is, all to the good, but he doesn't

acter who stumbles into the tragedy
of life and yet whose heart always
finds the beauty and the sunshine in
others.

this week is presenting its third
week of musical revues. This week
Marshall Walker is present with his
"Whiz Bang Revue" a rather orig

The revue really tells the story of
a show troupe landing in "A small
town to give a performance, and
how the reform league, or the
Never Enjoy Themselves" attempt
to stop other people from having a
good time at the show. Musical
numbers. specialties and dancing are
worked in between episodes Of the

ness OF the government. The American press has made
good use Of this basic right and it would strongly re-
sent any interference, Legislative or otherwise, with
its freedom Of action. Recently, however, doubt has
arisen In the minds Of even some OF the staunehest
supporters Of the liberty OF the press whether there
is no need Of a ~self-imposed check. The public is, OF
course, entitled to what IL wants. The question is
merely whether the press. owing to its role as mould
er Of public opinion, should cater to those tastes which
might be described as indelicate.
Sometimes interesting" stories can DO printed
only at the expense Of delieacy and, what is perhaps
more important, Of privacy. without which the proper
functioning Of human society cannot be imagined. The
freedom Of the press is then in conflict with private
suseeptibiities which are just as sacred a. the more
fundamental rights OF the citizen.
Newspapers are the greatest educating agencies in
our time and it is no exaggeration to say that the men
tally Of a nation Is vitality influenced by its press.
Inversely, one can conclude to the mentality Of a ma
ton through the quality Of its newspapers. America
has become In an amazingly short time the leader Of
the world. Our present position imposes on us new re-
sponsibilities. We are exposed to careful observation
on all sides. Nations are coming to US for inspiration,
they are initiating our methods and look to US for
guidance. Thousands visit our country to study US
through personal contact, but hundreds Of millions. al
though very much interested in US, cannot come. They
obtain their knowledge of our country from our press.
We are proud to say that most Of our newspapers re-
fleet credit on our nation. They are full of useful in
formation and they are saturated with an optimistic
outlook on life. We do not wish to imply that some
newspapers are not up to the mark. We merely repeat
the well known and undeniable fact that scandal re-
ceives too great a prominence in certain products Of
the American press.
Scandal is like a noxious drug; its addicts always
want more Of it. They are never satiated with prying
into other peoples personal affaire. The newspaper
ministering to the basest sentiments Of man loses its
feature which is TO purvey news Of general interest and
to comment on them in the view Of their educational
value. We want in America newspapers and not scan
dal sheets.
