Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September "a
(N.A.N.A.).-Will Rogers, erstwhile
mayor of Beverly Hills, scored a knock
out in talkie annals with his first "audi-
BILE" picture.
To audiences stated with courtroom
scenes, underworld "mellerdrammers'
and richly upholstered intrigue, with
little spring to commend it, his picture
comes like breeze from clover field.
1t Is triumph in American genre
a story of Pike Peters of Oklahoma, oil
millionaire, who was once veterinary,
and the school-teacher wife who de-
veloped craving for background"
when wealth came to them.
Beyond carrying the matrix of sheer
panying vein of pathos, the picture at
tains something not yet touched by au-
dible efforts.
Audience Can Enjoy Laughs
" is timed so the audience is able to
enjoy most of the laughs, which Rogers
calls so rapidly that the business of
adapting the rhythm of the story to
them must have been a tremendous
problem.
In days when Pola Negri was getting
$4,000 a week to make sleeps eyes
into the camera Will Rogers was COM
handing $4,000 a week.
Today the Princess Mdivani is prac-
tically forgotten by a village gone
Broadway" and Will Rogers, fresh from
seasons triumph in Manhattan, puts
the comedy laurels on his brow with
this American story, which will be hard
to beat.
Frank Borsage, a director who has
scored a high number of successes,
craftily surrounds the comedian with a
cast Of such balance and excellence that
he builds success for himself as we'll
Come to think about it, one of the
incest things about Will Rogers Is the
fact that he wasn't discovered" by Gus
Edwards.
Colman Dodges the Ladies.
Ronald Colman has penchant for
-of-the-way places where very-much-
in-the-way ladies cannot intrude upon
his recuperative moments.
He sought such one when his recent
picture, firing story of life in a penal
colony, was finished. The place selected
was a remote resort in Conoma County,
Calf, on the Russian River.
Colman had planned to stay a week,
but the quiet and country air worked
such wonders that he fain would have
extended the visit.
Sorry, sir. These rooms are taken
for the rest of the month the pro-
prietor informed him with courteous
regret.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

When the mother insists upon know
ing why her child wines and cries all
day and never seems satisfied, she Is
! noticing what is an almost universal
! condition of the ages from 2 to Z. Just
what is wrong?
Watch yourself and you'll md 1t
easier to understand what makes the
child SO unhappy and irritable. First
of all, the baby has just outgrown baby
hood. He has emerged from the period
when he was carried around, fed by his
parents, taken TO the toilet, put to bed
for maps and for the night, and into his
playpen or carriage for his recreation:
, In fact, the child has been ordered
around like a little automaton from
birth until now.
At about 10 months for the usual
child, he blooms into childhood and
| begins to feel a dawning sense OF his
own personality and power. He has de-
sires which often run counter to those
of his parents. He wants to walk when
they find 1t more convenient to carry
him. He likes to feed himself, even II
it Is long and messy proceeding. He
| wants to stand up and walk around his
crib when his mother is equally as
determined that he shall take nap.
The result Is a constant conflict be-
tween the sometimes angry parent and
| the weaker child. There is one thing in
this situation which the parent can't
control and that is crying. The child
can cry, and does cry, no matter how
violently he is told to stop.
period because the child has suddenly
learned the use Of mo" He is more
than apt to say mo" to almost any
thing that Is asked him. Have a nice,
cool drink Of water" says mother. The
child says, 1T don't want q drink"
Five minutes later he demands a
| drink. why didn't you take 1t when
l offered 1t to you?" says his exaSperated
mother. you just want to make work
| for me-" No, that isn't the reason. He
wanted to choose his own time fo-
drinking. He wanted to feel that not
his mothers suggestion, but his own de-
sires were being followed. Not that the
child thinks this out SO clearly, but he
shows the course of his reasoning by
| his actions. He has been listening to
mo, no" for months, and now he has
discovered that it Is just as powerful
weapon for him as 1t is for his
parents. He, too. can say mo" and his
parents are helpless before 1t.
| When a child reaches this period
some earlier, some later than others
| the parent must watch herself care
fully to eliminate the useless don't"
and mo" from her commands Phrase
them differently. Make them sugges-
tons and let the child feel that he has
made the choice himself. Let him exer-
else his newly discovered sense of being
an independent personality. More
liberty is the answer to the riddle. He
is still badly adjusted to his new world
if he has to express his personality by
crying. Let him express 1t by harmless
doing" If he wants to walk, let him
walk. 1t he wants to turn on the liv-
ing room light, let him do 1t. Let him
feed himself and unbotton his own but
tons. Thus We take away most of the
irritations which lead him to cry and
whine.

apply to your scalp the following as
tringent: Four ounces cologne water,
one ounce white bay rum, one-half
dram spirit Of rosemary. (2) Your

tomb at Mount Vernon. He was par

year I am having the tailor take out
the lining. put in an interlining and a
tan crepe for new lining. The collar
was worn, SO I had him cut it down
half and he has made it into a scarf.
Then since skirts are going to be longer
I chose a plain brown kasha which he
made into a skirt. With blouses of the
tuek-in type now have a good-looking
ensemble. That wasn't hard to plan,
now was it?"
Then I took that good-looking and
expensive black coat of mine with the
galyak collar. Nothing was worn on
the coat but the sleeves. Where my
arm rested on the wheel the sleeve was
worn. He is putting on flaring deep
cuffs of galyak which will hide the
worn spot effectively. Then he sug-
gested that the cuff he put on about
an inch above the edge of the sleeve.
This will save wear on fur at extreme

one for every day with a blouse and
skirt and the other for dressy occasions.
