GLEAN1NGs & SCREENINGS
Bv ANDREW r. KELLEY

does not, necessarily constitute
beauty, does it? Isn't beauty
rather a bit deeper than the
surface? and haven't you at
some time in your versatile
career met a person, young or
old, whose plain face was made
beautiful by smile, softening
of the eyes, a tenderness of eX-
preston? An eXpressionleSs
face, characterless, even though
perfect according to the laws of
beauty has never failed to
arouse more than pity in me,
and I claim to be an ardent ad-
mirer of beauty!
And that's that!!
Now here IS my hymn Of
Thanksgiving:
THANK you, God, for food and
fun,
And all the other things you've
done,
For me!
Thank You, too, for words and
books,
And smiles and cheer and
friendly looks
And plays!"
(Signed KAY"
Printing letters from an appre-
ciative minority necessarily
makes an editor resemble the

delssohn March has been played.
However, J. Belt of 1874 Eleventh
Street Northeast, took my
Tuesday ramblings too literally.
Gleanings and Screenings must
60 on; for even an editor must
eat and the coupe requires not
less than IL gallons of gas each
week. But your attention to j.
Belt:
your colmn is the one that
always catches my eye when I
turn the page. It's great.
do you really mean that
about letter affecting your writ
ings? Don't listen to Tad's ad-
vice. I don't like William
Haines either. This is the first
letter of it's kind I have ever
Written-so that explains every
thing. Just wanted to let you
know I like your writings
that's all"
Thanks for the pretty speech.
Of course I like to get letters.
And the editor that don't, is
just as rare as the sweet young
thing who hates to be told she
beautiful.
The good-looking actor in

ridors of The Washington
Times office yesterday after
noon searching for yours truly

tween shows. was AL Evans. I
am sorry I missed the, personal
goodbye of the affable master
of ceremonies, who completed
his engagement at the Palace
Theater last night. He left
this note:

So endeth the Saturday lesson.
The Washington times., 1929-11-30

One of the things I neglected
to give thanks for on Thurs
day was Uncle Sans mailmen,
the parcels post and the wire
services of Clarence .Mackay
and Newcomb Carlton. They
certainly help to tighten the
task of an editor on Friday
night assigned to the pastime
of filling a Saturday column.
Mr.. Davis Belasco wires that
while he owns half interest
In the theater which bears his
name and fronts on Lafayette
Square he has no definite in
formation on the future of the
playhouse. That he informs
us, rests solely with the MeSsrs.
Shubert.
This should definitely put the
quietus on the rumor that Mr..
Belasco has stated the theater
would always remain open
while his name was in the
mazdas over the entrance doors.
So, all reports to the contrary,
the closing order for December
Z stands.
From 240O Sixteenth St.
and I judge a friend Of the
drama-comes an appeal to do
something about the imminent
darkening of the towns only
intimate playhouse. It says:
Ny Dear Mr.. Kelley:
Is there anything to be done
regarding the closing of the
Shubert-Belasco theater. To me
it is a calamity-the idea of
! Washington allowing such
thing lis a disgrace-surely
after all the fine plays given
there, the perfect location, per.
feet size-wen, words fail me
is this a town with the, in
. telliegence that cannot think
beyond a talkie or what?
don't know you. but you sound
young and enthusiastic when
you write-So l hope that you
agree with me-Is there any
way to stop the thing?
(Signed) LEILA DE ZARDUZ.
With all my heart I agree
with this correspondent, al
though I am strongly of the
opinion that the decision to
close the Belosca theater was
not formulated at moments
notice. With all its traditions,
ariStocratic location and COM
forting atmosphere, the limited
seating capacity makes profi-
table booking a problem which
seems insurmountable in the
present condition of the legiti-
mate theater. We can only hope
for an eleventh hour reprieve.
. And another regular reader
dissents so gracefully to Tues
days column it would be a
shame not to permit others to
enjoy her letter.
"Now!!! I absolutely agree
with you on Tuesdays column
with the following exceptions:
The beauty of Billie Dove Il
cannot see her beauty as any
thing but artificialD, and the
ability of Janet Gaynor!
Granted that the little Gaynor
girl is a charming bit of fem
tninity and was a delight as
the exquisite Diana in Seventh
Heaven" I cannot admit that
she has added to her drawing
power with the advent of the
'talkies!' A delicate creature
from whom one would naturally
expect a light. equally delicate
voice; the expected delicacy of
voice is there. as light as one
could wish, but without a YES
tige of expression. The sing
songy voice of a petulent child
devoid of the richness which
comes from either long, hard
years of trouping, appreciative
training. or is God-given!

A Industry and Finance

The majority of people reach the
age of thirty without some definite
training, skill or profession and with
no aim in life. In my opinion, this
is the paramount economic problem
which must be solved IL poverty Is
to be eliminated and prosperity dis
tributed along the lines suggested by
President Hoover.
The trend to specialized effort and
thinking is becoming more pro-
nounced. A few short years back IL
was not uncommon for individualR
well along In life to shift from one
line OF work to another. A thrifty
man, of average intelligence. respect
ed In his community, could take up
merchandising in his late years.
But times have changed. Whether
some individual conceived the idea
of specializing his efforts as a means
of accumulating wealth. or whether
1t Is the natural outcome of a ma
chine age and modern methods of
communication and transportation
Is not difinitely known, and makes
little difference. We have already
travelled too far to turn back.
The new scheme is known as "di-
vision Of labor" The term tabor"
is used here very broadly and APP
plies to all human effort. Each OF
us specializes on a particular prod
uct and sells the surplus to the
other fellow. Huge factories are
now built and geared for the pro-
duction of one article. Every lndi-
vidual from the President down,
has his particular job to do and
thinks along specific and clearly de-
fined lines.
The result is seen in greater effi.
cheney, lower production costs, high.
er standards of living and a pro-
nounced stabilization Of business In
general. Net operating profits have
risen and show less fiuctuation. The
bun market which began in 1924 can
De explained in part by this trend.
Infinitely greater preparation for
life is demanded of the younger
generation. Modern business de-
mands trained workers and directs
their efforts to specialized Jobs. To
reach thirty now without some defi-
mite skill or profession is q serious
handicap.
