Sprucins Up Father.
WHAT the well dressed man shoult

WHAT the well dressed man should
w wear will be displayed in Holly
wood by the father of Alberta Vaughn
that Is, II Alberta has her way. Mr..
Vaughn doesn't know it yet, but he is
destined to become the Jimmy Walker
of Hollywood, sartorially speaking.
Alberta has laid plans with that objec-
tive in view, and there seems little
doubt Of success.
The first thing that impressed
Alberta when she arrived in New York
recently to make talking sequences for
Molly and Me-" the Tiffany Stahl pro-
duction starring Belle Bennett, was the
tailored elegance of mankind on Man
haitian. 1t was her first visit.
Before starting back to the coast,
Alberta went ON an extensive shopping
tour. She purchased socks, handker-
chiefs, shirts and ties in color SYM
phonies becoming to Daddy Vaughn.
Then she bought malacco walking
stick, spats, yellow gloves and derby
hat. She picked up scarf In a Fifth
avenue haberdashery that exactly
matched her fathers eyes. An over
coat or two, and cuff links for every
occasion completed the outfit.

Going Up, Please.

and then catching sight of Uncle Wal
ter, greeted him by name. The next
moment I found myself being intro
duced to David Wark Griffith, the
greatest director in motion pictures OF
that day.
Here's star for you, D. W." Uncle
Walter said, jokingly. "She would
rather be a movie actress than Queen
of England" Mr.. Griffith looked at me
with some interest, and when our floor
was called, he followed us into Uncle
Walters office, although he had an APP
pointment elsewhere. He talked to me
a lot about picture work and then Of
fered me an opportunity to make pic
lures for him in Hollywood on a six
month contract.
"You have great eyes, and plenty OF
enthusiasm" he remarked. I'VE might
be able to teach you to act"
After a family conference that eve
ming, I was given permission to accept
and within week was on my way to
Hollywood with grandmother.
On my way out of the newspaper
building, waited for three elevators to

saver He was quite amazed when I
gave him dollar.

TINE history Of the cinemato-
graphic art has been enlivened
by many odd and surprising
Il occurrences, most OF which
have been traceable to that
form of extravagant boneheadedness for
which Hollywood is deservedly famous.
Consider, for example, the strange
story OF 1.-The Green Hat"
written first as a novel and then as
q play by Michael Arlen (the gifted
Armenian, who arose, as they say,
from rugs to riches), THE Green Hat"
was both a best-seller and a smash
hit It's eventual adaptation into the
movies appeared to be a foregone con-
cluSion. But the Will H. Hays office
discovered that the Arlen masterpiece
had attracted unto itself q somewhat
unSavory reputation. and orders were
issued that 1t was to be barred from
the screen.
Three years having passed. and THE
Green Hat" and It's author having
been practically forgotten, the Metro
Goldwyn-M Mayer people decided that it
would be safe to record this hot
story on infiammable celluloid. It has
now been given to the public under the
title "A Woman Of Affairs" and, as
every one who has lately been near
any of the theaters at which 1t has
played will testify. 1t Is still best
seller and a smash-hit.
Although its title has been changed
although all its characters have been
renamed, although. the color OF It's
heroine'S headgear Is never revealed, IL
is unQuestionably the most faithful
adaptation of o book or play that l
have ever seen in the movies.
It is word for word, line for line.
point for point exactly as Michael Ar
len wrote it-with one important diff
ference: It is, in its present form,
great deal more enthralling, more In
telligent, than 1t has ever been before.

The excellence of "A Woman Of At
fairs" is attributable largely to its cast
the glorious Greta Carlo achieves
her best performance as the lovely,
loose lady Of the tiger-tawny hair, and
both John Gilbert and Douglas Fair
banks, jr, do splendidly in roles that,
for them, are highly unusual. Never
theless, it seems to me that the most
substantial share of the credit should
be delivered to the director, Clarence
Brown.
Mr.. Brown is worthy of observation.
He is one of the most interesting char
acters in Hollywood, and one who is
most likely to survive the present dev-
astating upheaval He has gained box
office prestige by directing Flesh and
the Devil" Tin which the Garbo-Gil-
berting began) and THE Trail of 49,
but he has in his time also produced
several pictures that were better, If less
celebrated, than those.
He is probably the only movie direc-
tor who started out as an engineer. He
earned degrees as bachelor Of the
sciences Of mechanical engineering and
electrical engineering, and he was pre-
siding over his own automobile business
when the siren call of the cinema lured
him to the studio where romance is
manufactured and canned. That was
nearly Is years ago.

Mazes Amaze.
LABYRINTH of mysterious 70,

A LABYRINTH of mysterious rooms,
passageways and staircases have
kept Chester Conklin and Louise Fa-
zenda veritable prisoners day after day
on the First National lot, where "The
House of Horrors" third Of a series Of
mystery thrillers, is being filmed.
Messengers to the set have at times
returned without finding the comedy
pair and Director Christensen and
crew, so completely were they hidden
in the maze of complicated sets. Chris
Jensen, having discarded his gun as an
alarm signal for the players, Is not so
easily located now, and he leads his cast
and his technical assistants from one
twisting passageway or weird room to
another with disconcerting abandon.
A great blue diamond, known to be
hidden in the antique shop Of mis-
erly collector, Is the object that draws
all the characters to one common bat
tleground amid as weird collection Of
odds and ends and through as QCeey a
house as can be pictured.

TEACHING METHODS
 NEED FURTHER STUDY

that investigation of this type needs to be encouraged. Colleges, uni versailles and teacher training in stitutions would do well to test out in an objective manner the results obtained from the use of different teaching methods in order that the better methods may be discovered and utilized"

This in- cludes the supervision of class room teaching forums for the discussion of instructional problems and con- trolled experimentation in the field of teaching method

DRY INF0RME:RS BITTERLY
 SCORED

WASHINGTON, April 10. = The worst type of paid police informers are those who identify themselves as ministers of the Gospel, the Citizens Service Association was told by Assistant United States At torney Camalier
 The Association was formed sev- eral months ago with membership drawn from 75 Washington church. es pledged to report any informa- tion they might have of liquor law violations.
 Assistant U. s. Attorney Camalier said some paid police informers are the lowest form Of individuals they have for law enforcement "but the worst of all are some of these paid informers who tell me they are ministers Of the Gospel when I ask them their occupation, after they have told me they made buys from bootleggers and are ready to tes- tify against them in court. It is most embarrassing to me and disgrace to the church to have these men say they are Doctors and Reverends when they take the witness stand"

STUDENTS ARE UNDER ARREST
Charges of Rioting Pre- ferred Against B Mem
 bers of Penn. U.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, April 10. -Twenty-three University of Penn sylyania students are under arrest on charge of melting a riot in general fight on the street near the dormitories, with the police last night.
 The police used night sticks and the students met the charge with a barrage of stones and milk bot tles
 All reserves from the City Hall and those from the West Phila- delphia Police Headquarters were called out to the battle scene.
 We have not had so much fun for long time" said one student when asked as to what ceused the disturbance.
 Riot calls were sent out after the students, at 8 corner, assumed con- trol of the traffic lights and owing to the manner in which the lights were operated, traffic soon became q jam and a number of accidents were narrowly averted.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Col E. Lester Jones, Director of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, died last night. He had been in ill-health since returning from Overseas where he served in the Army Air Service.
 Col Jones, one of the hard-work- ing Bureau Chiefs, has been re- tained from one Administration to another because of the efficiency and high standard of his service. He is especially known on the Pa cific Coast where he continued eff forts to map shoals and reefs of coastal waters and also Alaska.
 He was American Commissioner establishing the boundary line be- tween Alaska and Canada.
 Since 1915, Col. Jones caused charting of much of the North Coast and extending wire drag work locating hidden rocks and perfect ing maps of inshore waters.
 He is also known as one of the organizers e the American Le- zion and issued the call for the first meeting in 1919,

 Germany believes that unless the big naval powers reach an accord, general disarmament may suffer a cerious blow from which it would not recover easily.
 Count Von Bernstorff, former German ambassador to Washing ton is expected to introduce a res- |olution for the appointment of a subcommittee to tackle the special problem of naval limitation.
 With the naval problem a haras- sing specter, interest centers also in how the preparatory disarmament commission will deal with the pro- ject of soviet Russia for partial dis armament.
 Last year the preparatory dis armament commission flatly re- jectea a soviet scheme of total dis armament, deeming it an illusion difficult of realization.
 The delegates from Moscow very promptly came back with a plan of gradual disarmament which can not be dismissed with the same fla cility. The commission will study that scheme and decide how much, if any, is acceptable
 Litvinoff is expected from Rus sia. Hugh Gibson. the American ambassador to Belgium, will, as in the past, be the chief American delegate. Lord Cushendun probably will represent Great Britain, all though there has been no official announcement.
 The capable son of Aimaro Sato former Japanese ambassador to washington. will voice the views of Nippon.
 Bernstorff, who of late has spe- cialized in questions of armament reduction, will represent Germany and all these and others will be surrounded by capable and watch l ful navel and military experts.

CLEVELAND, April 10.-Controll- cd experimentation in elementary schools and high schools needs to be encouraged, Floyd ". Reeves, Professor of Education and Director of the Bureau of School Service of the University of Kentucky, told the National Society of College Teachers of Education here.
 Greater use of controlled ex- perimentation has been made by colleges of education in universities than by any other type of institu- tion,' he said Tt is surprising that teachers colleges and normal schools, institutions having as their major function the improvement of teaching in elementary and high schools, should have done so little in the way of discovering methods whereby the instruction Y their own students might be improved.

SYDNEY, New South Wales, April 10.-The twelfth day since the dis appearance of Capt. Charles Kings ford Smith and his companions in the plane Southern Cross. brought only unconfirmed reports.

 WASHINGTON
Social Status of Vlce-Presi. dents Hostess Caus-
 ing Trouble

WASHINGTON, April 10-Social Washington aWoke today to find the whole order on the brink of either complete collapse or thor ough overhauling as a result of the declaration of Secretary of State Stimson that he will no longer decide questions of procedure af- fecting the diplomatic corps.
 The Secretary's decision was reached in response to the protest of Vice-President Charles Curtis against the ruling of former Sec retary of State Kellogg that his sister-in-law, Mrs Edward Gam, and his official hostess, be seated at official dinners below the wives of the diplomats.
 Secretary Stimson, in answer to Q request from the diplomatic corps, also from officials, for rul- ing, held the former Secretary ruling was correctly set forth ac- cording to the precedents of recent years but the State Department has no authority to determine the social status of any except foreign representatives. He said that de- eisions as to precedence which Am erican officials wives be received within homes of diplomats rests wholly with the discretion of the members of that corps themselves
