SHOULD "A GIRL
KEEP HER
SECRETS?

Should a girl tell all before she
weds? If she does, she may lose
the man she loves, some sociolo-
gists say. And if she doesn't
there is no marital happiness,
others reply.
In sour Dancing Daughters" a
Cosmopolitan picture, now showing
at Loew's Columbia, made for
M-G-M. a story of ultra-modern
girlhood, Josephine Lovett. the
author; Harry Beaumont. the di-
rector, and every one in the cast
agreed there was only one course
for the girl to take.
"She must tell before she be.
comes a BRIDE" Beaumont said
yesterday. in discussion of this
phase of the ultra-modern story.
ITO begin married life with de-
ception and fear in ones heart is
to place a pitfall on the threshold
of happiness.
'If he loves her and is a man,
he will forgive and understand.
There can be no single standard
recognized in this modern genera
ton. It is a very delicate subject,
but frankness in these things
goes a long way to eliminate
doubt and suspicion.
But in telling, she must not
tell too much. Perhaps it would
be better if she did so. but her
personal pride must not be de-
stroyed. Her spirit must not
suffer in the telling. She should
be lifted up by frank confession.
not crushed by shame.
Again, however. this brings
on another situation that is most
difficult to overcome. The man
has forgiven but how can
he ever forget?"

From that moment of storm and
heroic rescue to the one where
