Women.
BY GILBERT SWAN,
Sketches by George Clark.

=, RE the seven lean years completely
r N over?
III Perhaps not! But bigger days are
ahead for the large ladies, and in
- every form of entertainment the
roly-poly, stoutish Coincidence is swinging back
into style
Witness, for instance Marie Dressler! OF
al the personal successes listed upon the ma
tional amusement roster, you'll find Marie's
looming largest.
And why? Because I give them the sort
of laugh they've been waiting for The old
rough and tumble laugh that they'd almost for
gotten. I'm fair, fat and 50-and If nobody
loves a fat man, every one loves fat woman"
1t doesn't end there. In the business world
it's apparent that nine out Of ten of the women
heading concerns in which they run things"
are pretty solid, hefty specimens Of woman
hood
And it's reached the point where, instead of
seeking to reduce, the wise ones are trying to
hold what they have and add a few pounds
more.
But let's get down to cases:
lust a few weeks before she sailed for Lon
don to open in her present English success,
Follow a Star" Sophie Tucker, the last of
the red hot mammas" sat signing in her hotel
room.
Whats the matter, Sophie?" we inquired.
I'm worried I'm losing weight"
'Is that all? I thought perhaps the Prince
Of Wales had forgot to send you Valentine,
or something. You should be glad. 1t agrees
with you to shake of few pounds"
agrees with mel" Sophie exploded. agrees
with me! II this keeps up, I'm ruined. Do you
realize that I'm down to around ITO, and just
couple Of years ago was hitting 21e? Do
you know what I'm going to do?. I've already
done it. I've cabled to the greatest expert in
Vienna; a professor In the universities and a
specialist. I heard of him the last time was
over there He's on the way here now. I'm
paying his expenses both ways; I'm giving him
q fat fee and I'm going to carry him with me
until I've taken on at least IS pounds. And
believe me, my lad, I'm going to be tipping 'em
around 220 by the first of the year"
Whats the big idea?" we asked timidly.
"Just this" explained the red hot mamma"
whose speaking voice is nothing like her hsty
stage voice. Just this The Londoners have
taken me up in big way. Lords and ladies
and members of Parliament, notabes gathered
in London from all parts of the world All the
boxes when I appear and I'LL the tables when
I sing at the cabarets.
I'm one of the swankiest cafes In London
I've had half the royalty of Europe standing ON
its hind legs following me in song and re-
peating the words after me and behaving like
college boys after foot ball game. That's why
they like me as an entertainer. And why is
that? Because I've got the vital energy and
the good-natured appeal that goes with stout
ness. They laugh and sing and have q swell
time because some one takes them out Of them

we haze gone through tired times and
people are getting great kick out Of
laughing from the belt up"
q career. They have reared their children and
they have won success outside their homes.
"As for myself, have always been grateful
for strength and energy. I have always loved TO
work. I love it now.
"A dozen times have leaned back and con-
sidered stopping-for am no longer young
But always return to something"
Nine. Schumann-Heink, as you may already
know, has been consultant for her broad
casting company for several years. Not only
has she been an expert on program arrange
ment. but she has taken a personal interest
in young voices preparing for the air or the
concert stage. Only recently she set out to
select the best undiscovered voices. And she
has been program star herself. She has been
a successful mother and has become one of
the most beloved of public figures.

ILLINOIS CONTEST
 STILL UNDECIDED
Republican Gradually OYeGcomes
 Lead, Takes Advantage

Chicago. Nov. : P,-Thc political eyes of the nation looked toward H. iinois today for an answer to the question, who won the race for con- Gressman- at large between Richard Yates, republican. and Walter Ncs- bit, democrat? The fact that con- trol of the house of representatives was in doubt gave the added import ancc to the contest.
 After getting off to q substantiai lead at the start of the counting Of ballots from Tuesdays election, Nes- bit gradually fell behind as belato1 returns came in. until the count ear ly today with 2S3 Of the states 7,1GJ precincts still missing stood:
 Yates, 92S,524; Ncsbit, 923.597.
 The lead of 4.927 gave strong in dication that Yates would eventually emerge the winner. If he does the Illinois delegation to congress would be made up of 1 , republicans and F democrats. This would still give the democrats a new gain of five.
