Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.
Talkativeness.

What take to be a widely circulated
religious tract was recently handed me.
"Talkativeness" was the theme. 1t
started off as follows: 'Talkativeness is
utterly ruinous to deep spirituality" 1t
ended with scriptura1 citation to the
effect that lin quietness and In conf
dence shall be your strength"
This set me thinking. I recalled the
name of Heraclitus, who flourished In
Greece around 500 B. c. According to
that great philosopher nothing is per-
manent but change" Eternal change,
continuous motion. was a sort of deity
for him.
Some of his followers were simple
minded and took his teachings literally
and dogmatically. They went SO far as
to quit talking altogether. They con-
tended that the very words used in con-
versation would change from what they
were to something else by the time they
reached the ears of the listener. So
they resorted to sign language, hoping
that the sense Of sight might operate
more quickly than the eternal fiux"
that characterized the world of reality
as they conceived it.
The religious tract referred to is an
outgrowth Of experience. There is some
thing valuable in 1t for every one. The
Heraclitian philosophy is interesting
only as a matter of history
From Heraclitus Of ancient Greece to
DR.. Watson, the reputed founder of that
modern school of psychology called Be
haviorism," much talking and philoso-
phizing about talking has taken place.
One essential assumption remains
talking is in some way connected with
motion.
According to Watson, thinking Is a
matter Of muscular movement. We
think, l. e., We think-move, with our
whole body, but chiefly with our vocal
chords. Spoken words merely tell us
that some sort OF thought-movemen is
taking place.
Assuming the Watsonian theory to be
correct, talkative persons are those who
do lot moving around In order to
make their adjustments to their sur
roundings. And the non-talkative have
discovered how to save time and energy,
to say nothing Of the confidence" built
up In those who listen to them.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, January 2S.-
Gilbert and Carlo may be separated as
a movie team. Donald Colman has sup
planted Wilma Banky with Lii Damita,
but Norma Talmadge will make her
next picture with Gilbert Roland. So
some of the old romance of movies will
remain.
Teams have been a fertile source OF
revenue for producers. The public, Sc
cretly quite hopelessly romantic, loves
to watch the same handsome youth fall
repeatedly for the identical beautiful
siren. When this occurs in more than
one picture they weave In some mystic
r1ouS fashion a romance about the two
And then diSillusion them If you can.
You could write from now until
d8omsday that Ronnie Colman and
Wilma Banky got along together about
as peaceably as the Kilkenny cats
Thousands Of pecple the country over
who have seen them gaze longingly
into each others eyes know to the con-
trary.
As matter OF fact. that charming
team broke up because of tempera-
mental difficulties due to this antipathy
AT least, that was one Of the reasons,
and not the smallest one. Producers
either star is important enough to draw
the public alone. So why not capitalize
on each? This happened with Gilbert
and Carlo.
Wilma Banky has been known to
consume large platters Of onions and
other Hungarian savories when she had
a love scene with Colman to enact
Colman, quite aware of her attitude
fortified himself on such occasions with
a good bracer. The director took refuge
in cuss words and hair-tearing. But
the result was a perfect pair Of stage
lovers.
Now, Norma Talmadge and Gilbert
Roland get on famously together in real
life. They are frequently seen at din.
ner parties or in dancing groups, and
there is no lack Of animation or deartt
OF conversation.
