and William Haines.
Those who have, watched the
career Of La Belle Marion as a
film Coincidence will be delighted
with her work in this broad
satire on the movie colony. En-
lowed with rare, true sense of
ourlesque, Miss Davies has the
role of a feminine Merton of the
Movies"
She is deeply shocked and
thoroughly chagrined at making q
success in custard-pie comedy,
after she and her father had
5ourneyed all the way from Georgia
to show the celluloid moguls how
serious screen dramas should be
made.
The comedy star graduates into
the higher class of pictures and
loses her head to such an extent
that she almost marries the fake
count who is her leading man,
1t is in this transition from the
comedy actress to the prima
donna of the films that Miss
Davies does the best work of her
career. She shows up the tin
seled society life of Hollywood as
no half dozen expert observers
ever could. Her unnatural man.
nerisms, which she puts on with
her new fame, are classic.
To preserve the merry unreality
Of the entire piece, it is fitting
that the high hat should be
knocked off her pedestal with a
shot Of low.comedy settler water
and a custard pie.
One of the most amusing parts
Of the picture is her meeting with
the real stars of Hollywood

Talmadge, Charlie Chaplin, John
Gilbert, King Vidor and host of
others.

after Alisse becomes greatly in
demand she will have to realize
that there is keen competition
and that there are many other
girls who can play well and who
know how to get along with
people, with life; who have
learned control Of emotions.
The most successful people
I've known have been the most
regular" folks considerate,
punctual, efficient business peo-
ple-along with their artistry.
The two things are conjunctive.
And the spectacles Of tenn

ness have been staged by the
"alrnostS" and the "might-have.
beens," never by the true ar
fists. Temperament" is merely
a compensation for q failure
to achieve.
So if you have a child who
is gifted" along any line, don't
for a minute think he isn't
going to need the homely
knowledge of everyday living.
Don't for a moment suppose
that out in the world people
are going to excuse his erratic
manners because Of his talent.

ing to be for him to succeed
with the talent you are so
proud Of. And the more you
humor, the more he Is going
to have. And it won't be be-
cause he is q genius, but be-
cause he is just human and
young, and is going to take all
the faVors he can lay his hands
on.
There is more to artistry
than Just a talent. There is
the big factor of personality,
and personality is but the sum
total Of what we are and think
and live. Kindness, fairness,
willingness to put up with what
comes-all these shine out
through the talent and are 90
per cent Of any artists success.

Alice" was what they called
her when she was a wee baby,
but now her mother has
changed it to "Alisse." I guess
she feels it will look better in
electric lights that way, because
AliSSe is going to be famous.
Her mother is sure Of that.
AlisSe started taking piano
lessons when she was : years
old. She is now 10, and plays
beautifully. There is every rea-
son to believe. If Ole considers
only the child'S talent for
music, that she WILL be IA

the manner in which her
mother is intensively developing

girl, 1t is most problematical.
Alisse Is not allowed to do
dishes. That might spoil her
hands. She is allowed to sleep

tardy at school is excused as

something to remedy. Bad food

INDISPENSABLE DAYTIME FROCKS
Published bv Special with Good Housekeeping
Printed Silks Still Hold
Attention for Daytime
and Semi-FOrmal Frocks

MO matter how many frocks
~ a woman may possess,
there's always room for one
more. Particularly the daytime
frocks, which this season have
assumed most important role.
These may be elaborate or SIM
pie, according to the taste Of
the wearer, but which ever may
be he + choice, they must dis
play the intricate treatment as
to detail that is so essential to
charm this season.
Two interesting frocks Of the
daytime type are shown today
one Of them developed in the
printed silk which still main
tains its hold on the ladder Of
fashion.
The frock at left is Of brown
marocain. The feministic In
fluence Is seen on the bow
treatment and the intricate
scanning of the blouse. The
skirt complies with the latest
decree for fullness in its circu-
lar flares, and the regal note
has not been overlooked in its
semi-princesS molding.
A more practical frock is the
one of printed silk. and one
that carries a most youthful
charm and appeal. Green and
beige are the colors of this
print, which makes q most mod
elnistic appearance. due to the
intricate cut of the material.
The overblouse Is caught at the
waiStline with a green suede
belt, and the collar is Of beige
crepe, edged with narrow self
pleatings.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
For the first time in my life,
I am seeking advice, and hav-
ing read your column for some
time, am coming to you.
81 am "a years old, and have
been married two years to the
best man in the world. We
haven't any children. I have
everything that should make a
woman happy, and yet ] am
the most miserable person in
the world. There is only one
thing that keeps me from being
happy, and I am coming to
you in hopes that you will
help me solve this problem.
Before / went with my hus.
band, / went with a boy that
loved very much. in fact, ]
loved him better than anyone
/ ever knew. He also loved
me.
1--WE went together about q
year and everything went.
nicely until he began to quar-
rel about my going with other
boys occasionally. We were
not engaged, exactly, although
it was understood that we were
to get married as soon as he
was financially able. So for
this reason, I thought he
shouldn't object.
Sometimes he would get
mad and I wouldn't hear from
him in several days, and usu.
ally, I was the means Of our
making up. Finally, he stopped
coming to see me and / wrote
and asked him why he quit.
He said / didn't care for him
or wouldn't treat him like
/ did. I told him this was not
true. He came back several
times after that, but never
seemed the same, although he
declared he loved me as much
as ever and always would.
Soon after that he quit
coming again.
II waited nearly two years
for him to come back, but he
never did, so, naturally, I de-
cided to try and forget him.
Not long after that I met the
man 1 married. We went to-
gether nearly three years and
all during that time I never
heard from this other boy only
through other people.
During the three years
that my husband and I went
together we got along won.
derfully. l believed l loved
him as well as I did this other
fellow, and yet there were
times when / wasn't sure,
II have tried to forget, but
this seems impossible. The
only way I can forget is to
convince myself that I no
longer love this other boy. But
the question is, how am I
going to do this and yet hold
my husbands love? For If it
wasn't for this, I could be per-
fectly happy and contented
with my husband. thank
you so much for your advice"
You have not the slightest
reason to be worried in my
opinion, my dear, but should be
the happiest, instead of the
most miserable" woman in the
world. For you are married

THE AIRPORT AGITATION

Major Ladd's stimulating talk in favor of an airport in this city yields the impression that the boosters for this project will not be satisfied until they get it. Dinning it into our ears that the city must have an airport eventually will get results, say the airport boosters. Meanwhile City Hall wonders where the money is coming from. That is the unfortu- nate impasse-desire versus cost.
 The longer the city waits the more it will lag behind. Or perhaps we are too conservative to move for ward with the aviators. Or perhaps we prefer to wait until aviation is proven to be an unqualified success.
 On January 1. 1929, there were 1898 improved airports in the United States which was an increase of 51 per cent over the previous year. This figure does not include the so-call- ed "unimproved" airports and emer- xency landing fields, of which there were approximately 5000.
 At the present time 921 airports are projected or being constructed. New Britain talked airport" as early as most of these S21, but we are still talking.
