SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Risch-

MANY people believe that
AVA motion pictures have done
a great deal of harm to the
spoken drama. 1t surely is a
fact that road companies no

they did and in many com
munities the inhabitants no
longer see flesh-andblood char

added a lot. The silent drama
has become enriched tremen-
dously through the synchroni
cation of sound and action.
Undoubtedly among the chief
results will be actual plays with
real plots, real character por-
trayal. real dialogue, real con-
struction-in short, it is more
than likely that the talking pic
lures will put new life into
drama and help to develop it
to its fullest possibilities.
What may a playgoer expect
to get out Of a play anyway?
Is the purpose of a stage pres
entation merely to pass the time
of the spectators in an interest
ing way? Is it supposed to stir
the emotions? Should it teach
a lesson or point a moral, or
what?
Much of the confusion about
what a play should be is plob-
ably brought about through the
grouping of various kinds Of per-
formanceS under a common
name.
There are plays and plays!
One cannot judge a musical
comedy by the same standards

or a farce. or a melodrama,
comedy drama, etc.
A broad and convenient dis
tinction can and should be
made between drama and enter
tainment.
Both have a distinct and valu-
able place in the lives of people.
They also have a far-reaching
effect.
We are more influenced by
the plays and sketches and nov

might suppose.

Plays that are purposely Sa'
lacious, that deliberately set
out to incite the baser, animal
emotions are, in effect, anti.
social. Attendance at such per-
formances is merely exciting to
no purpose, while the physio-
logical and mental effect upon
youngsters, male and female, Is
pernicious.

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland
Husbands-and Others

HuSDanuS-anQ OLnerS
Husbands are divided into
four classes these days-poten-
tial. current, deleted and de-
parted.
After few months of placid
married life, a man can kiss
his wife with his eyes wide open
and miss nothing that is going
on around him.
The first hint a bride has
that her husbands rapture is
beginning to cool is when he
calls her by her given name,
instead of by one of the pa
tronizing little pet names he
has invented for her.
The latest method of Spiting
your last husband appears to
be to go back and marry your
first one.
After a few trips to Reno, a
woman gets such a marrying
complex that she can't hear the
strains of the Mendelssohn
wedding march without auto
matically reaching for a bou-
quet of lilies-of-the-valley.
1t is not the kisses of a mans
lips which woman ~ members
longest and most soienantly,
but the caress in his eyes.
The great prize among hus-
bands is that happy medium
between the man who never no
tees your bats and the kind
who insists on picking them
out for you.
The one thing that it seems
impossible for a woman to
make any man understand is
that she may have an old
fashioned red-flannel conscience
underneath a pink georgette
personality, and a cast-iron
code of honor underneath a
cloth-of-Silver manner.
Love is not actually dead
until o man stops making daily
excuses for calling you up and
begins making bi-weekly ex-
cuses for not calling you up.
A woman can smile, kiss and
sigh in ANY language-and
these constitute the Esperanto
of love.
