the inevitable signs of maturing

IF SHE DRESSES TO HER

EASHlONS OF today are youthful They are designed to the
advantage of the girl of twenty and to the disadvantage Of the
girl of forty. Young people have things all their own way.
These are commonplace remarks and we In all inclined to believe
them true
On the other hand, never did older women have so important a
place IN social activities, never has the keen interest in dress been
prolonged so far past the years of youth, and never did older
women feel more justified in taking a n interest in their clothes
than at the present time. The fact is that the proportion Of older

Witches Never Burned;
 Just Hanged or Pressed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. U Witch burners" never existed among the Colonial fathers in America, me- ticulous reader of the Congressional Record has informed Senator Hen ry J. Allen of Kansas.
 In a speech on the reapportion- ment bill Senator Allen described the American population at the time of the federal convention of 1787 as 3,200,0o0 freemen, 800,OoO slaves and some witch burners. J. H. Crooker of Kansas City, Mo, wrote to correct the senator on the point.
 As matter of fact" Crooker wrote, mo person ever was burned in New England for witchcraft or anywhere else in America"
 A perusal of historical data con- vinced the Kansas Senator that his own early ideas of Colonial witch burning were founded on fiction alleged witches were hanged on nu- merouS occasions, and one witch was pressed to death, but no record could be found of a witch burning in America.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 7.-Tin Pan Alley, tra1sp-anted almost bodily from New York's Mazda Lane, for many months has been making Flickerville safe for noise, and from every movie lot in town the passer- by may hear a-horning the popular song hits of tomorrow.
 But now comes a new musical and producing invasion of the west, both significant and timely.
 Arthur Hammerstein, long cele- brated as a producer of musical comedy and operetta, is here to produce series of screen musicals for Joseph Schenck, with Rudolph Friml composing the music
 Oscar Hammerstein II, Arthur's nephew, is here to compose and write musicals directly for the screen, while Jerome Kern, com poser, and Otto Marbach, librettist, noted on Broadway, will collaborate to the same end.
 These, and others of their rank, come to talkie-town at a time when the cry is for musical originals" to pour into the hungry maws of Hollywood's micropho nes, even though fancy prices are still being asked for the talkie rights to cur rent and past stage successes.

THE FLYING FOOL"
 NOW AT COLISEUM

Appearing in a series of breath taking, death-defying aerial ex- ploits, "The Flying Fool'' is now at the Coliseum in the person of William Boyd, Pathe star It is q thrilling, all-talking air drama in which this popular player is sup ported by Marie Provost, Tom O'Rrien, Russell Gleason and other notable screen artists.
 While this new air picture has an aviation background and contains some of the most sensational air stunts ever photographed, it is es- sentially a, high powered drama of humor mingled skillfully and blend ed into a fine network of enter tainment.
 It, is the story of stunt flyer, who risks his life every day to sat- isfy a thrill hungry mob. He is the deyil-may-ca personality whose other chief interest in life is wo- men. But, he boasts, he has never fallen in love. Then his kid brother becomes interested in a ca baret entertainer and the Flying Fool decides to save him from this supposedly designing woman. What happens after that is plenty and the story is said to rise to a tre- mendous climax in the air.
 Marie Provost plays the cabaret singer. Tom O'Brien has serio- comic heavy role that suits him ideally and Russell Gleason plays the brother. Others in the cast are Dan Wolheim, Kate Bruce and Dorothy Ward.

 In fact the art of directing deep dyed villain is just about as seri- ous a thing as the director has to face, be it comedy or melodralna he is making.

Bv HERBERT PLUMBER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Ever since Jack Garner took over the job of Democratic floor leader in the House last April he has been waiting for the opportunity to take 6 crack at his good friend John Tilson, the Republican chieftain.
 The genial but fiery Texan is never happier than when he is raw-hiding Republicans. "Hellge- bites" is the word he applies to the stinging remarks he hurls across the aisle from time ot time, and no one on the hill will dis pute the fact that Jack can '.hellge- bite" as can few others.
 Quite by accident the other day Tilson found that he was in a most embarrassing predicament Early in the day the House had passed a radio bill. Along later in the afternoon the Senate passed a sim liar bill, sent it over to the House, where it was passed and sent to the President.
 As a result. the House had on its hands bill it had passed, but no place to send it.

 Is the gentleman afraid the Sen ate will pass the House bill and send it to the President also?" he asked
 No, Tilson wasn't afraid of that, but he didn't think the House should send two bills to the Senate covering the same ground Tilson showed his impatience. But Garner queried sarcastically:
 Can the gentleman not trust the Senate to at least refrain from passing a House bill which has been sent over there?"
 Tilson replied that of course he could trust the Senate, but he saw no need of the House doing a futile thing.

Old Stuff


 The talkies already have adapted to screen use many of the most successful stage musicals, and to date there has been a striking dearth of musical plays written and composed especially for the audible screen.
 Excluding the musical revueS and lighter types of musical comedy, the only originals" thus far are The Love Parade La Marseil- la.se," Married in Hollywood, ? The Rogue Song" "Dixiana," and possibly one or two others.
 Most screen operettas to date, like the first, "The Desert Song" have been adaptations of stage successes. Song of the West" was known to the stage as Rainbow, !" and Bride of the Regiment" as The Lady in Ermine,' in which silent Corrinne Griffith appeared several years ago.

 Again and again the Democratic leader prodded the Republican chief. Bankhead, Democrat, add- ed to Tilson's discomfiture by sug- gesting that someone was respon- sible for the slip, and demanded to know who it was!
 Tllson by this time was certain that he was being rawhided and refused to be goaded further. He ilatly reminded his colleagues that it was merely for the prestige of the House he fought, and that he hoped they would not be so foolish as to send the bill over.
 Garner had had his fun. Turning to Tilson, he graciously informed him:
