MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 11.-Ben
Lyon and his flancee, Bebe Daniels, are
two of the movie regime to land neatly
with the new order of things.
Lyon will have the lead in one of
the new 100-per-cent talkieS, and Bebe
Daniels, finished so far as silent pic
lures are concerned. will capitalize her
really excellent singing voice with the
radio pictures.
Their wedding is slated for June
And meanwhile Ben Lyons erstwhile
f1ancee, Marilynn Miller, is coming to
Hollywood to star in musical comedy in
sound. Typewriting novices may try
this sentence: Now is the time for all
good Manhattanites to come to the aid
of the talkie."
They are coming every
day.
In their honor Hollywood is building
great skyscrapers of stone with thou
sands of windows-white towers of
Babylon that stand in ironic contrast
to the dark hills and blue water
This is a land of sunshine made for
play. and men have converted Holly
wood into factory city where talent
Is turned into canned talk.
Legitimate stars have one point of
technique at variance with stars of
silent pictures. The latter want privacy
when the big scene is being made. A
RELAY great Hollywood star made the
big scenes behind a complete wall of
screens which hid them even from the
studio workmen not actively engaged
with camera and lights.
George Fawcett dying in the arms of
John Barrymore, was supposed to be q
big scene. But those who went to
watch saw only SO yards of white linen
held together by some pine strips. Bar

gone movie completely, and became ner-
yous as witch when people were
about.
Greta Carlo frowns upon studio Off
Gals who happen upon her set And
men HE themselves of with abject
apologies.
But Ruth Chatterton, about to make
big scene, gathers together an audi
ence to play to, to the intense disgust
of the movies who may be acting in the
sequence.
Barbara Stanwick is another who
wants some human element as a gauge
for her emotional reaction. Some one
to play to- is the cry of the stage
Away from prying eyes" the slogan of
the camera
Stage folk are finding themselves well
represented in the newest pictures.
George Fitzmaurice's latest picture has
only one strictly motion picture product

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

Next to a sporting goods shop win
dow, the most fascinating window is
the one in which pets are displayed.
That many think so is evidenced by
the number of people who daily linger
in front of them.
In a window on Ninth street sits a
dignified little monkey, disdaining the
companionship of common dogs and
silly little guinea pigs. His wistful face
looks up at the bystander as though
back in his head he cherishes hope
that some one will take him home and
gime him tree around whose branches
he might swing and screench to his
hearts content.

cumstances, are compelled to live alone

as for the need of comrades. To enter
even the most luxurioasly appointed
apartment and home without one to
greet them is not an experience to be
desired.
A chronic bachelor leaves a light
burning in his home when he goes out
in the evening, as it has the effect. ac-
cording to him, of some one present to
welcome him when he returns. Even a
small, dirty-white pup, wagging his tail
in greeting, grasses that all-alone feel
ing when one returns from work.
The Arab on his tented hills evinces
an affection for his lean, hungry look
ing dog. Cruel as he is to his animals,
there flames or at least fiickers an af-
lection for them. The Arabs beasts of
burden are the donkey and the camel.
One day We admired certain camel in
the foothills of the Algerian Mountains.
The camel possesses an admirable poise.
Having lived among the hooded Mo-
hammadans. he has acquired something
of the philosophy of his owners. He Is
en- impressive sight, standing in an Afri-
can twilight, with one leg hobbled to
his body to prevent dash for freedom.
He would not escape If he could. At
any rate the owner of the camel we
admired was not so devoted to his
bumped creature. and. marking well our
interest, offered to sell it to us for SIS
American money. Up to that time we
had always had a profound respect for
camels but when one could be pur-
chased for less than the price of a
balloon tire, our enthusiasm waned on
the spot We now pass the circus
camels by with contempt.

Indian pottery, or that showing old
Peruvian influence, is in high favor.
Quaint New England bean pots are
picturesque, as also are ginger jars. All
of these types of containers now come
under the inclusive term of vases"
when their use is for plants. The name
liars" is also used and is somewhat
more appropriate. but vases" is the
latest name, or application of the name,
to be accurate.
1t must be remembered that there is
radical difference between a flower
pot and vase used as one. The former
has hole in the bottom while the lat
ter has an unbroken surface. The hole
must be present if plant is to flourish,
for this serves as a drain for the naois-
ture. Without this hole roots rot ana
the plant dies. Therefore, when using
a jar or vase as a flower pot or jardi-
mere, the plant must first be .petted in
a regular flower pot and this be put in
the ornamental container. If the flow-
er pot is SO large that it cannot be re-
moved readily from its container, it
should be slightly elevated on stones or
a rack.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Cry of Greece to Judea.

Text: Come over into Macedonia
and help us."-Acts, xvi.9.
THE cry of Greece to Judea"
George Matheson calls this. Greece
had beauty, philosophy, art, culture.
law, gayety--everything belonging to
secular life and secular civilization
What need did she have for Judea?
IL was the need of the secular for the
sacred. Judea was the land of reli-
glon. Greece needed Judeas religion
Judea's vision of God, the spiritual, the
eternal.
Come over and help u.s." is ever
the appeal of the secular world to the
spiritual world. No nation, however
I rich, however vast its resources how
ever great its commerce and industries,
however cultured it may be in worldly
knowledge, however perfect its laws
ana organization, however abundant its
provision for social life and enjoyment
however adequate its military equip
ment and defenses, can survive
permanently in state of spiritual
ignorance and alienation from God
The spiritual is the supremely essential
element in human life, and the nation
that ignores this truth is doomed to
perish. Greece cannot live without
Judea.
What is true of the nation is true
OF the individual. No man can fulfill
his duties in his everyday affairs, in
that life which we call secular, If he
ignores and neglects the culture of his
spiritual nature. 1t requires spiritual
experience and vision to redeem the
secular from narrowness and sordid-
ness, and to make life free, Astounding
and happy. To make life liveable and
preserve peace in the counting house
the secular must be married to the
sacred. The things of time and sense
can be properly regulated only in the
light of the divine and the eternal
And from every individual soul, as
well as from every nation, comes the
cry of Greece to Judea.

The vase, which for long time came
under the category of bric-a-brac, or
ornament, has entered the field of util-
ity in interior decoration.
OF late years vases have become i'm
portant as lamp bases. Old vases have
been so converted and new ones bought
for the special purpose. Thus it is that
vases Of pottery, porcelain, glass, bronze,
silver, pewter, ETC., are priced for Su-h
use. Since they can be fitted out with
out drilling holes in them, as formerly,
they are not even damaged by the
transformation.
A use to which vases are being put,
and which fits in with interior decora-
ton or exterior schemes is that OF flow
er pots or jardinieres. Vases suited to
such purposes must be squat and have
very wide mouths. Rare vases are I'M
suited to the purpose, although they
sometimes fulfill their function as ffow-
er holders.
Now that Summer is approaching

the uses mentioned and beautify rooms,

Lois and Roger Fix Porch

Lois was struggling with the problem
of the front porch. She knew they
would spend much time on it and she
wanted it to be comfortable, livable and
yet not so fussy that a wind or rain
storm would upset 1t.
Roger built porch seat or bench up
against one part of the wall of the
house. He put straight piece of wood
at one end that acted as the head of
the bench. The back was the house
itself

Too Much Steaming.

Dear Miss Leeds-About two months
ago while steaming my face with hot
towels / seem to have scalded my skin
At times, since then, it gets reddish
looking. What shall do about it? /
have black hair and blue eyes. What
colors are becoming? HELEN.
Answer-The reddish appearance may
be due to blood vessels that became
dilated with the excessive heat. I think
the condition will pass away in time.
In the meantime avoid using hot water
on your face; use tepid water to wash
and follow with an ice rub. Avoid
stimulating beverages like tea and cof-
fee and also condiments and highly
spiced foods. Eat fresh fruits and green
vegetables. drink plenty of water be-
tween meals; avoid constipation. II
the condition does not show signs of
clearing up by Summer time consult
physician, as 1t may develop into acne

Darkening Lashes.

Dear Miss Leeds-l) Do you know
of a harmless preparation for making
light eye lashes and brows darker? ca
/ am Is years old. Can a receding chin
be remedied? A READER.
Answer-You may use a good brand
of mascara for this purpose. Remove
it thoroughly at bedtime with the aid
of cold cream. After cleansing your
face at night apply white vaseline TO
the small hairs, letting it remain on
overnight; this will gradually darken
the hairs to some extent. 1t is best
not to use a dye on the lashes for
fear of irritating the eyes, but strong
black tea may be used. 90 1t Is pos
sible to develop the muscle on the bail
of the chin by massage and constant
exercise. LOIS LEEDS.
