Governments Could Aid.
The State and Federal Governments
can give impetus to this work by pro-
women IN constructing public improve
necessary age-limit barriers in filling
civil service and similar positions. A
systematic and Official study Of old-age
pension systems here and abroad Is
warranted and quite likely to be pro-
ductive Of good. Good sense, proper
regard for economic laws, as well as
good morals, demand study of the prob
lem of employment as 1t affects older
men and women.
And let 1t not be forgotten that
among the laws promulgated some
thousands Of years ago, and which have
served mankind through the ages, is
one, and one only, which carries with
it reward and penalty. That law,
expressed as one of the Ten Command
ments, is. Honor thy father and thy
mother that thy days may be long upon
the land" That law applies no less to
nations than to individuals. The nation
which is to live long and prosperously
must protect and safeguard its older
citizens no less than its children. We
have been neglectful of age. One Of the
tasks OF the next few years is to remedy
the ills that neglect has brought.

his disclosed the identity Of the man
who was to aid him In relieving farm
distress. Hyde was strolling through a
hotel lobby in washington at inaugura-
ton time when he came face to face
with Jim Reed, then retiring after ID
years as Senator from Hyde's own
State. Here were two bitter antago-
nists. Politically, their paths had crossed
often In years gone by. In fact, Hyde
had endeared himself to Missouri Re-
publicans because he was the one man
poisoned barbs which dy from Jim
Reefs tongue. When they met, a
sardonic smile crept over Reeds face,
and extending his hand. he said:
"As one dirt farmer to another,
Arthur, howdy. How's crops?"
Secretary Hyde took the shaft with
out fiinching, and he told the story on
himself the next day. And to It he
added this request to the newspaper
men who went to the Department Of
Agriculture to get q look at the new
chief In action:
Don't try to make me dirt farmer,
because I am not. am q lawyer. It
Is supposed TO be good politics TO claim
to be a farmer. but farmers do not
want to be fooled. It Is much more
important that my sympathies are with
them, and that shall do everything
humanity possible to help them"
Such frankness Is refreshing In
Washington, for in the long and weari-
some attempt to relieve agricultural
distress there has been too much pre-
tense, too much fitting at windmills.
The Capital is rather tired of some Of
the professional believers" and there
Is more than suspicion that some Of
the Westerners continue to press the
financial heresies of McNary- Haugenism
out of sheer stubbornness long after
| their own better judgments counSeled a
change in tactics.
Farmers to BE Cared For.
As the Hoover administration swings
into its first Congress there Is a better
spirit in Washington. Something will
be done for the farmers this year,
something which is almost certain to
lift part of the gloom which has now
rested on the corn and wheat fields Of
the Nation for eight years.
The farmers believe that President
Hoover is their friend. They rolled up
overwhelming majorities for him, even
! though his innate honesty would not
permit him to promise them everything
they wanted. AS bis first gesture toward
them he selected man they could
trust to deal with their problems. Sec
rotary Hyde talks the farmers language.
Like Mr.. Hoover, he hates red tape and
| delay. His remark some years ago to

q 1ong-winded Missouri Legislator, "Td
like more meat and less wind" reflects
his preference for action rather than
words.
His standing among the farmers Of
his own neighborhood, and his own
State, can best be expressed by the
words of John r. Case, editor Of the
Missouri Ruralist, and for eight years
president Of the State Board Of Agricul-
ture.

schools, TO the wonderful hard roads
which were built during those four
years. to his courageous battle with
the big insurance magnates Of the State,
long dictators in State affairs. But the
remnants Of the rebel democracy" a
survival Of Reconstruction days, which
nearly became extinct while Hyde ruled
at Jefferson City. still gnash their teeth
when his name Is mentioned. Some OF
Hyde's reforms were costly and taxes
had to go up to pay the bills. And in
rural Missouri Democrats still apply to
Hyde that most opprobrious Of political
epithets-"tax-eater."
One Fight After Another.
Gov. Hyde was in the midst Of one
fight or another throughout his four
years. To carry through his educa-
tional program 1t was necessary to sta
bilize county taxation. In some sections
real estate was assessed at rs per cent
Of Its real value; IN others the assess
ment ran up to 80 per cent. Hyde set
about to even things up. As always
happens, those who profited were not
grateful: those whose tax bills were
scaled up howled their protests to high
heaven. But an admirable system of
rural schools Is operating in Missouri
today.
with his road building program he
did another unconventional thing. He
appointed highway commission Of four
millionaires and set them to work.
Again the county bosses we're enraged.
Such a scheme took patronage, in jobs
and the awarding of contracts, out of
their hands. This was no news to
Hyde. In fact, 1t was the motive be-
hind his action.
Theodore Gary. one Of the Hyde ap-
pointees, hired experts out Of his own
pocket to lay out the new roads. The
experts recommended through highways
from city to city, skirting the smaller
towns. Again there was warfare. The
small-town merchants in Missouri, as
elsewhere, are not opposed to trafflc
congestion. Indirectly it brings them
business. In the horSe-and-buggy days
traffic came right into the village

Eddie Cantor or Walter Catlett. Those
gags, funny as they may be, don't Mt in
the style of comedy that was developed
by the disciples of Mack Sennett ana
Hal Roach and the like of which was
never known before the cinema came
into being.
The funniest lines in welcome DAN
ger" are those that aren't the least bit
funny in themselves. They aren't wise
cracks or mites. Their humor Is Gre
ated not by any arrangement of words,
but by the situations from which they
emerge.
The physical gags must continue to
be the main source of laughter in screen
comedies, and the most encouraging
feature of welcome Danger" Is that
these physical gags are not overwhelmed
by the added conversation. In fact,
there Is more healthy knockabout &C
ton in welcome Danger" than In all
the anaemic polite comedies Of recent
years.
There can be no question that Harold
Lloyd has scored again, emphatically,
and In a medium that was supposed to
be strange and even hostile. He has
scored because he possesses courage and
enterprise and, above all things, wis
dom in excess of any Of his talented
brethren Of Hollywood.

| THERE seems to be distinct and in
comprehensive difference of opinion
on the subject Of the new Ronald
Colman Offering, Condemned" There
are those who regard 1t as commenda-
bly, superior entertainment. There are
others who list It among the fiops.
Any one who wants to take the trou-
BILE to look will find me in the ranks
of the disappearing, for could dis
cover in Condemned" no more than
the barest ounce of melodrama, or
satire, CT romance, or whatever 1t was
| that Samuel Goldwyn and his asso-
ciates wanted to convey. The produc-
| ton has great pictorial effectiveness;
it has one superb performance by Dud-
| ley Digges; its story is Soundly and
economically constructed; but there is
very little illusion and almost no con-
viction to it and the Interpretation OF
the leading roles, by Mr.. Colman and
Anne Harding, Is woefully insufficient.
If you don't like this unfriendly
| opinion of Condemned" there are
other opinions, and from even more
authoritative sources, that are pre-
cisely opposite to mine.

In this picture three little pigs were
chosen as candidates for the role" of
Anatole, Miss Davis pet porker in
comedy scenes.
Candidate No. was okeyed by Chief
Cameraman oliver Marsh as perfect

partment said he "blooped" too much
when he squealed and grunted.
Candidate No. was accepted by the
microphonists, but was given up as q
hopeless case by the cameramen be-
cause of the dirty shade he screened
under the new incandescent lighting.
Candidate No. 3 had marked nasal
pitch to his squealing voice and blew
out several light valves with unexpected
snorts, but after the micronhones were
turned down to a lower register he re-
corded like q concert contralto. He
was Just made for incandeScent light
the cameramen agreed, and he landed

A Baby Cyclone.

ALE those breathless specula-
"A tions, rumors and agitations
which have inflated the prospect
of a change in stage shows at
Loew's Palace into the proper
lions Of a cyclone, are simply a
tempest in a teapot to NJ. j.
Cullen, managing director OF the
local Loew enterprises.
It is true that the Palace,
! beginning with the week OF De-
cember IA, will employ the Loew
units instead of the PubliX shows,
but that such a change merits
the furry of gossip that has been
going the rounds OF press ana
public is beyond the comprehen-
sion of the management.
AS a matter of fact, there will
be but little change in the style
of the new units, Mr.. Cullen tells
The Star. While they may be
slightly more lavish in the man.
ner of presentation chat Is, while
there may be II dancers instead
of a dozen, 10 wardrobe trunks
instead Of six) 1t is an utterly
false notion to expect ziegfeldian
or Hippodromic spectacles such
as many may already have been
led to expect.
In brief, the Palace will make a
nominal change In its stage units,
and Mr.. Evans, quite according
to rllmor, will depart the local
scene. The picture will continue
to hold major Importance on all
programs.

Can You Sing, Little Girl?

GEORGE DE SYLVIA, teammate
~ with Brown and Henderson in writ
ting the music for many Broadway
show, was responsible for Janet Gay
nor's selection to play one Of the leads
in Sunny Side Up" a picture for which
the above trio also composed the music.
Asked for suggestion as to the
leading feminine player, De Sylvia re-
piled without hesitation, Janet Gaynor.
Can she sing?"
The production chief didn't know,
but allowed as how they'd ask the little
lady. They tripped over to Janets
bungalow and asked her II she could
sing. She said that she would "try."
So well did she try (and this, IS you
can imagine, is the point OF the story
that, as Mr.. De sylvia remarked, "she
seemed to be able to do anything we
asked of her."
Charles Farrell, they say, was not Sc
easy to teach, but so well did 1t all work
out that the producers report that he
| developed into as fine a singing actor
as we have had work in one Of our
shows"

TALKING movies have created many
revolutions in the show business
many changes in theater methods.
Now comes Harold Lloyd to point out
q development contingent upon the
growth of the talkies.
A moving picture audience, says
Lloyd, Is now properly called an au-
dience, whereas formerly the public had
been using the word mistakenly in ref
erence to silent pictures.
The proper word In the old days, says
the sdell-rim specialized comedian, was
"optience'-namelya group Of specta-
tors. But he adds, nobody ever used
the term. Now that pictures can be
heard, audience" becomes the proper
word to denote a group of persons who
attend a movie show.
Lloyd's first film appearance before
an audience" in this definition is in
Welcome Danger" his first talking
picture.

Charles Buddy Rogers, making
picture in which he was supposed to
take a lighter from his pocket and
light the cigarette of his leading lady,
objected to the incident because 1t would
disillusion his public who knew that
he himself did not smoke. 1t was
agreed that matches should be taken
from a table and that line of dialogue
should be inserted indicating that
Rogers disapproved of women smoking.
