YOUTH
DEFENDED
BY FAY

''It's quite the thing for certain
people to point out how inferior
the girl Of today is to the young
miss of yesterday" says Fay Nor
man in "Dimpled Darlings," cur.
rent attraction at the Strand The
ater. ITO my mind, these COM
PARSONS are absurd. It isn't any
thing new for pepole to cast a
slight on the girl Of their own
time, and praise the girl Of the
past.
''One OF the most amusing things
1t has ever been my pleasure to
read was an account written about
100 years ago. In the comment on
the girls Of that day, the writer
said: All men prefer the simple
and genuine girl of the past, with
her pretty bashful modesty, to the
girl Of today became interested
in this subject and found so years
later this comment: The girl OF
today is headstrpng. forward and
devotes her time to frivol, fun and
unbounded luxury, while dress is
the chief object of such thoughts
as her intellect possess
From these comments it would
seem that there il nothing new
in casting a slight on the girl Of
the present day, as they probably
began doing 1t more than 100 years
ago"

tor Cecil B. De Mile is the latest
of the Hollywood contingent to
seek his stars from among the
players OF the stage. He has
definitely decided that Charles
Beckford and Kay Johnson will
enact the leading roles in his
first production under the Metro
banner. The name of the pic.
ture. you remember, IL "Dyna-
mite"
Both players are well-known
upon the stage. But neither have
ever appeared upon the screen.
Mr.. Bickford's latest stage play
is Gods Of Lightning" ana he
has secured a star part for his
movie debut on the strength OF
screen and voice tests taken in
New York and seen by Mr.. De
Mile in Hollywood.
Kay Johnson Is remembered on
Broadway for her work in the
stage production of "Beggar on
Horseback" and 'tR. u. r." the
Theater Guild play. More recently
she has been tremendously sue
cessful playing with Nance O'NeilI
in Los Angeles theater presen-
tation of the THE Silver Chord.
Miss Johnson is the recent bride
of John Cromwell, the Broadway
theatrical producer. who has been
signed by Paramount to produce
sound pictures.

Jaime Del Rio so fcverishly sought
during his lifetime, Is to be his
after all. The Fox organization

a lavish screen production. AS an
indication of just how big q propo-
sition Fox considers it, Camilla
Horn, the highly valued United
Artists import. is being sought
for the starring role. In the event
that she is secured she will be
supported by one OF the strongest
casts Hollywood has seen assem-
bled in some time. The pay Is
highly dramatic and contains as
many ''kiclxs'' as an army mule.

Ernest W. Christ who was elected
to the senate Tuesday. has had
knowledge Of q boom to elect him
president pro tenn. Of the upper
house. but has done nothing to
bring about his election to the
position he said today. commenting
upon widely circulated reports that
either he or Senator Roy Wilcox OF
Meriden will receive tho honor.
1t 10 Understood that Senator
elect Christ has many supporters
who would be pleased to assist in
his election. Mr.. Wilcox. who waa
reelected. 10 also favorably men,
toned for the post and reports have
it that the race has narrowed down
to the two. with other members OF
the senate inclined to remain out
side and select their presiding Off
Ger between the Meriden and the
New Britain members.
Generally regarded az q stepping
stone to = higher state office. the
post OF president pro tenn. OF the
state senate is regarded as choice
political reward. This position. po-
litical observers believe, will place
the successful senator in line for the
lieutenant governorship at the next
state election. United States Sena-
tor-elect Frederic c. Walcott was
president pro tenn. Of the senate at
the 1927 session.
Mr.. Christ has had previous legis-
lative experience as a representative
in the lower house. He was offered
tho nomination as senator In 1895
but the pressure Of business at thai
time made it necessary for him to
decline. This year he was unoppo7-
ed for the nomination and won over
the democratic candidate. Attorney
