THE AVIATOR" GOOD
 COMEDY AT COLISEUM

Edward Everett Horton has a role that suits him ideally in "The Avia- tor" the Warner Brothers all-talk- ing Vitaphone comedy now at the Coliseum Theatre.
 It presents him as a dyspeptic author who gets dizzy when he even looks down at his own feet, but who has, nevertheless, been saddled with a reputation as the greatest stunt flier in the history of aero nautics.
 For many years, both on stage and screen, this great comedian has perhaps been at his best, as fussy,

Before the reader decides to try this
truly heroic means of gaining the COW

so entirely upon his own initiative and
responsibility, and shall have neither
sympathy nor surcease to offer in the
event that his little experiment proves
painful. Several correspondents in re-

eating poison ivy leaves or berries. On
the other hand, the majority who have
reported their experience declare that
they suffered no unpleasant effects and

I should pinch it off, moreover, with
tweezers or something, or wear rubber

contact with the ivy. Then I should
carry the bit of leaf in my mouth a
minute by watch and no longer. If no
unpleasant consequences ensued should
have another try at 1t three days later,

Peter Rabbit was all excited. But he
was soon to be still more excited. He
had made the acquaintance of Egret
the Great White Heron. Egret had
told him that he had a handsomer
cousin, who also dressed wholly in
whIte-Snowy Egret; also called the
Little White Egret. Also. Egret had
said that there was still another Of the
Heron cousins who dressed in white
and that when he had come up from
the sunny South, some Of these white
cousins had come with him. He had
parted from them at the mouth of the
Laughing Brook where 1t entered the
Great River.
81 do wish" said Peter, that those
white cousins of yours would come up
here to the Smiling Pool How should
like TO see theml"
Hardly were the words out of Peters
mouth when Jerry Muskrat squeaked.
Look, Peter look over toward the Big
River"
Peter looked. Winging their way
straight toward the Smiling Pool came
three big birds that Peter recognized
at once as Herons. And they were
white. all white At least, that is the
way it seemed as Peter looked up at
them.
Here come my cousins now" said
come acquainted with them" Each Of
the visitors in turn dropped his long
legs and alighted on the edge of the
Smiling Pool near where Egret was
standing There they stood with their
necks stretched up after the fashion
of all Herons when they alight. Peter
fairly gasped, for it was a wonderful
sight to see four such big birds all in
white. Peter noticed at once that Egret
was the biggest. Also, he saw that the
three new arrivals had black bills.
while the bill Of Egret was yellow. He
also noticed that the legs were rather
gree nish. Now that they were so close,
he saw that two of the three had
few blush markings. which would not
be seen at a greater distance.
"These are my cousins, the Little
Blue Herons," said Egret to Peter and
Jerry.
who did you say they werep" Jerry
Muskrat asked; and his face wore q
puzzled look.
Little Blue Herons," replied Egret.
Jerry rubbed his eyes and pretended
there was something the matter with
them. IT guess I need new eyes," said
he.
There was a funny look Of surprise in
the eyes of Egret why do you need
new eyes2" he asked

Actions.

Dear Mimi:
81 have been keeping company with q
girl for two years, seeing her every
evening. For the first six months we
got along wonderfully-then quarrels-
and for the past three months very
serious quarrels. I tell her will not
come to see her any more but after a
week go and fairly have to beg her to
come back to me. I did this because /
love her and cannot understand why
she won't listen to me, because know
she loves me.
THE other evening went to see her,
did something which was nothing more
than mere trifle, and she bawled me
out in front of company. When I was
ready to go home told her felt hurt
and asked her to apologize. She re-
fused, saying, You've done the same
thing to me- So said was through
and she said, All right, If you want to
be that way
when we are getting along on good
terms she tells me she couldn't do with
out me, but when don't go around her
she never gives me break. don't
want to lose her nor do want to run
after her again. She is awfully jealous
of me. Do you think If I paid atten-
ton to other girls that 1t would bring
her to her senseS?"
Paying attention to other girls will
not effect a cure. 1t will only aggra-
vate matters and she will be convinced
that she is really justified in her pres
ent behavior.
She may say she loves you-but her
conduct does not corroborate her state
ment. Put her to the test. In this
present quarrel let her make the first
move toward reconciliation. She will
do 1t If what she says is true-that she
cannot live without you.

you mean 1t. You have told her before
