Douglas Fairbanks shows
traces of the SwaSh-buckling

he is less acrobatic. He played
Petruchio as If he loved it, get
ting the infectious germ into his
fits of laughter, throwing the
lemon meringue pie with gusto,
clowning with good effect
throughout. The new Mary
Pickford stands revealed as an
actress who can play comedy,
who can get away from a stem

cally, and whose roguish wink
at the finish seemed to say,

Strangely enough you pay
little attention to Shakespeare's
lines. Tanning Of the Shrew"
depends upon action for its
effects and Director Sam Wood
has contrived to keep it a mov-
ing picture.

SUNNY SIDE UP
A CORKING
MUSICAL

The Cinderella formula, in
which romance links rags and
riches, and wherein q Prince
Charming is always provided a
Ia carte for a Good Little Girl
is once more employed in the
conspicuously synthetic but
brilliantly embellished screen
musical comedy Sunny Side
up" which william Fox pre-
sents at the theater bearing his
name this week.
There is not the slightest
doubt that this production Is
the ace Of the Fox musical
snows-including his "Follies"
and his rather distinguished
operatta-of the current season.
Furthermore, it has an impress
sive box office grip. 1t presents 2
striking array Of clever players,
including the redoubtable team
of Janet Gaynor and Charles
Farrell making their first ap-
pearance in a musical piece.
It's scenic effects include one
Smash" hit, Turn On the
Heat" which, while neither
imaginative nor brilliantly in
spired, is q genuine tour de
force, and seems certain to go
down in Hollywood history.
If any criticism Is to be
leveled at Sunny Side Up" it
must be confined to the fact
that it is not keyed up to the
characteristic musical comedy
pace, chiefly due to the fact
that the wistful, rather delib-
crate style Of Janet Gaynor can
not be twisted and forced into
the speedy style in which a
piece Of this type reaches its
highest style Of efferveScence.
The comedy touches for the
most part are excellent, but
the dialogue does not show the
literary resources Of the Fox
studio at their best.
Having said this, we now
gladly proclaim to the public
that the experience OF seeing
and hearing Janet Gaynor sing
I'm a Dreamer, Aren't We Alp"
Is one which it will remember
for many moons. The delicate
charm Of this little lady, so
reminiscent of Maude Adams
in many Of her moods, far out
weights any vocal deficiencies,
and not merely in this song, but
throughout the entire film,
she is the sustaining, all-Satis-
flying factor. Having the most
vivid memory Of the deepest
admiration for the abilities Of
Miss Gaynor as a tragic actress,
displayed prominently in Sun
rise" 1t is a pleasure to record
that In q musical comedy role,
in what must be to her an alien
and rather difficult meter, she
easily makes the grade"
The score, the dialogue, and
the story were all done by the
celebrated trio of Bud De sylvia,
Ray HENDERSON. and Lew Brown.
The Henderson score, including
the title song and IF / had q
talking picture Of you," are In
his characteristic rythyms. and
are all well done. The central
tableau, Turn On the Heat"
which we have already men,
tened, is certain to be the sub
iect Of an endless amount of
discussion this week; it is unlike
anything which has yet been
attempted in the talkies, and
must be seen by our flappers
and their encourage to receive
the full need of appreciation
which is its due.

com pany which is making the exper iment of having q little theatcr go 1T for opera instead of drama.
 Cites Two Advantages
 There was double purpose in thi, decision. ccording to Kendall K Mussey. director of the settlement First, it would provide q stage wher, operas could be sung in English Second. it would provide q training ground for young American singers and do much to dispense with their having 10 spend years abroad in exiied training before they would re- ceive recognition here.
 The Little Thcatcr Opera com rany has becI open to anyone with real vocal promise from its inception last year. Now it contains singers from 5 states as far west as Oregon and as far south at Texas and one recruit from Canada.
 Many young American singers are kept from the opcratic stage be- cause they cannot afford European training" Mussey stated. 'There is no reason why America should not be able 10 provide training for it's own young singers"
 The Little Theater Opera Company began with q modest schedule with 'The Merry Wives of Windsor" Don Zetti's "EliNer of Love-" and De kc- vens Robin Hood." This season it had added 10 it's repertory Johann StraussStrauss
 Strauss 'The Bat" Bachc's ''Phoe- bus and Pan." Zizet's "Djamile" and Oscar Strauss .'The Chocolate Sol- dier."
 The company has had an astonish- ing reception by audiences and re- ceivcd the professional endorsement of such noted artists as Arthur Bo- dansky, Lucrezia Bori. Yycttc Guil- bert. Frederick Jagel.

 The child who never knows what to expect from his parents is under a constant nervous strain: there is no order in his world and he can be sure of nothing.
 Today he is reproved for every small slip: tomorrow his widest behavior goes unchecked. On Mon- day he is told that he cannot have dessert unless he finishes his vege- tables: on Tuesday he leaves his spinach and is given two helpings of his favorite pudding. One eve ming he is closely catechizcd on his doings between S:30 and 5:3O; an- other he walks in late for supper without reproof. ..'.-.-.
 Such cratic treatment is not only demoralizing 10 his habits and his standards, but often gives rise as well to condition of nervous in . stability: The younger the child, the more disastrous is the effect of in- consistent discipline.
 The proper discipline of infancy is largely one Of regular physical rou- tine. and is so obviously important that all but the most irresponsible parents will respect it. But the pro- per discipline Of the years between the second and sixth increasingI,; involves psychological factors which are less obvious but not less impor~ tant to the chiid's development.
 Above all else the child needs q sense of continuity and consistency in his background. his routine. his affections. The child who lacks these has no way Of building LID q serviceable conscience or an even tempered, cheerful outlook. The confusion of his days is reflected in his own confused state of mind. The unpredictahility of those about hlm results in his own condition of nervous irripbilty. -

Moreover. pro- ducing operas in English has proved delightful, tor men. particularly, like to know what it is alr about.

0lary's Unexplained Attack Of Hys- tcria Causes Anxiety to Matlsc
 aud Lillian

! am always glad to see Lillia, more welcome than when she inter- rupted the annoying colloquy in Juniors room.
 There was an anxious quality as we'll as an imperative one in her voice which l knew Dicky rccog- nized as we'll as l did. Always chiv- alrous toward his old friends, the recognition of her need of me ef- fcctually stopped the offended exit from the room which he had just begun.
 'l'Il come over at once" I told her. and without another look at us II was sure her keen eyes had not cd the signs of disturbance she walked away swiftly. and bent to my little son standing so pugna- ciously by my side.
 ''I must go to Aunt Lillian now, Junior." ] said. "and l don't know how long shall be. so l must kiss you good night. now. I know you're going 10 be q good boy and not tease or fret. And. dear" I lowered my voice. hoping that Diclly stand ing with an uncompromising back turned toward us would not hear me-"I wish you would ask Daddy's pardon. You really were very rude to him just now. Do that for Moth CT, won't you?"
 My small son. already remorseful. nodded a choking assent as he hugged me convulsivcly. But Dicky's voice sounded frigh.ly be- hind me.
 T suppose I should be grateful for your Kind intercession." he said, ''but really l wish you sometimes would permit me to attend to my own aftairs.''
 I closed my lips tightly dpon the impulse to tell him that henceforth it would be always" instead of 'sometimes" and hurried out of the room after kissing Junior and promising to come into his room as soon as he should awaken in the morning.
 Lillian was pacing up and down as l entered her room, a sure sign of worry about her. She stopped as l came in, and stepping past me. closed and locked her door.
 Katherine just came in with a yarn l think you ought to hear" she said. Tt seems they started to play bridge downstairs after round or two of old fla shioned whist, and the first time Mary was dum- my, she jumped up and ran up- stairs.

 Children not infrequently s,.allow all sorts of unusual substances Workers in factories occasionally are penetrated by flying portions ot machinery: soldiers are hit by mis- siies of one type or another. and these may remain over long periods of time in the human body without causing any disturbance.
 Event ually reactions may begin which result in death. Sometimes bullets or nails get into the body and may be carried along by the blood stream to the lungs or to the heart, and there be lodged temporarily without immediate ef- feet, later setting up disturbances which may cause death.
 Two French investigators cx- amined by the use of the N-ray the heads of a0 soldiers who were suffering with mental disturbance, and found foreign bodies in the heads of thirty. in only one of whom there was any suspicion that q portion of a bullet might be within the skull.
 In 19 cases the missiles were in the soft part of the bone near the eye. and in eight within the skull itself.
 One soldier was troubled bv a bullet found in his bullock, the bullet having entered through one shoulder while he was lying on the ground
 Another soldier had certificate stating that a piece of shrapnel was in his right lung, and the fragment was found in his hip.
 In the Heart
 In three cases pieces of shell were found by the N-ray to be within the heart. where they moved about constanly with the motion of the blood.
 Examination of one Of the sol. c1ers with a piece of shell in the heart one year later indicated that me piece Of metal had become an chored. None of the three men with pieces of shell in the heart mad any idea of the presence of The foreign substance, nor did if s'"m to discommode them in any way.

Ap6oky's foot came down on was Timmy's flat tail and there was nothing to hold onto in this. It did spoil Timmy's jump. for it held him for just long enough to make him fall rather than jump.
 But a fall was nothing serious with Tlmmy. He caught his balance and flattencd himself out and fi- nally landed on the barn floor, in- stead of over on the side of the barn as he had expected to.

A isadly Frightened Squirrel

A tAuIy fVSntencO Squ1rrel
 By Thornton w. Burgess
 Avoid all dangers that are need
 less,
 And even then pray don't be heed
 less.
 -Old Mother Nature
 Spooky the Screech Owl is lit tie fellow. as you know. He does not look as if he could move with any 1apidity. Some folks think him rather stupid. but they think that of all Owls in the daytime. That is their mistake. If they could watch Spooky and his relatives at shadow time, they would change their opin- ion. There is nothing stupid about the Owl family then. Nor is there anything slow about them.
 Spooky had been living for some time In Farmer Browns barn. His favorite perch was on a certain rafter high up in the roof. Timmy the Flying Squirrel was also living in the barn. Several times Spooky had tried to catch Timmy, but Timmy had been too smart for him. The result was that Timmy had grown overconfident. He had reach cd the point of thinking that spooky couldn't catch him. Then he had begun to tease Spooky. He would jump from a ratter and sail. as only he can sail, right across below Spooky, and he would do it in the most provoking way.
 But after a while Spooky refused to be leased in this way. This spoile! Tlmmys fun. Timmy grew 50 bold thS he began running out on the rattcr where Spooky sat. He venturcd nearer and nearer to where Spooky seemed to be asleep. Spooky didn't move. Timmy watched him sharply.
 Hes asleep" said Timmy to himself. "1 believe I could run right between his legs. It would be fun to just nip him on the leg and then jump"
 Timmy moved little bit nearer. lie was very near Spooky now. And then. looking down. he saw a Mouse on the grain bin. For just ;t second he forgot where he was and leaned ever to watch that Mouse. Ii was q bad time and he was in q bad place 10 be forgetful. You see. Spookv wasn't asl hep at all. He had been watching Timmy all the time. He had becn watching and waiting His 'y's had been open just crack but that crack was enough He haI seen Timmy lean forward 10 look at the Mouse way down b"iow He cilnt know what Timmy was look ing at anl he didn't lean over 10 find out. He was interested in Tim my and in nothing else.
 Now th2re was one thing that 1immy hadn't noticed and this was that Spooky was facing him. Usual ly Spooky sat facing so that h. could look down over the edge of the rafter. But now he was turned so that he was facing along the rafter instead Of across it. Perhaps if Timny had noticed this he would have been 8 little more careful
 Just as Timmy leaned over to watch that Mouse down below. Spooky struck quickly with one foot. My goodness. how quickly that foot did move! But, quickly as Spooky struck. Timmy was even puicko-. Son1"fllng must have told him that h" suddenly was in great danger. for hp S6ot off in. ,.a f. ,y ,p ', lo,, leap. The result { was that all
