WrlueS Cnarley PdQQOcK III COIller $, has been the prime factor in what he describes as the decadence of American postwar athletics, citing the dwindling first places scored by Americans in the last three Olympics and expressing the con- viction to present-day perform ances Gin track and field especial ly) do not compare with those of two or three decades ago.
 Good time Charley is as far from the actual facts it seems from this corner, as he was from finishing anywhere in the last Olympic 200 meters event at Amsterday.
 A variety of causes contributed to Yankee reverses in the Olympic games, ranging all the way from bad management and bad breaks to over-eating and over-confidence, plus the fact that world competi- ticn has become keener.
 If American boys have failed to conquer athletes like Douglas Lowe, Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola on Olympic tracks, they hardly can be blamed, since the foot-racers have yet to appear with the ability to beat these runners at their best.
 Moreover, if there is any decad- ency in the Yankee ability to run faster, jump higher or toss the various athletic implements far ther, it has not been manifest this spring in the greatest college track and field season of all time
 With the exception of the middle distance running, in which there has unquestionably been a de- cline, worlds records have been broken and re-broken by American athletes in almost every other event within the past few years.
 The athlete who gets anywhere near the top in this age of keen competition, no matter what the sport, has no chance to keep up with the pack if he over r-indulges- whether it is in food, liquor or late hours. Now and then Jim Thorpe on the warpath or Maxey Rosenbloom, training on night club life, somehow manages to possess the super endurance to burn both ends of the candle, but they are raritieS.
 The height of indulgence for Southern California's championship track and field team was reached at Cambridge, where in celebration of their triumph in the I. c. A. A. A. A. games they sat down to a big supper topped off by double helping of strawberries and vanilla ice cream.
 And when the Trojans got to New York the following day, enroute to another victory at Chicago, they went for a wild spree at Coney Island.
 I happened to ask one of the star college sprinters about the at titude toward drinking.
 T guess some of the fellows will take a drink now and then" he responded, but a guy who isn't smart enough to know how to take care of himself isn't going to get anywhere. As for me, I think one cocktail would knock me out

Perhaps there are few who realize
that Ruth Chatterton first acquired her
histrionic ability within the shades of
the Washington Monument. At any
rate, it was here, at the Columbia
Theater that she was polished. primed
and perfected for her famous theatrical
career, which besides ornamenting the
New York stage has now been trans
planted to the realms of filmdom.
In one year Miss Chatterton has

WHEN Strictly Dishonorable" smash
ed across as q hit last Fall,
story made the rounds of Broadway
about young actress who turned down
the leading role in the Preston Sturgis
comedy because she wouldn't wear pa
jaYnas on the stage. And according
to the producer of that play she was
fortnight indignant about it, too.
The name of this young lady is
Eleanor Phelps and she is the prison
warden's daughter in THE Criminal
Code" which comes to Polls next week
And, since THE Criminal Code" Is
spoken of in terms of the 1880 Pulitzer
prize, art, it would seem, has triumphed
over negligee, proving that there are
other ways in which the American girl
may be glorifled on the stage.
Miss Phelps was first smitten with
the drama during her school years at
Bryn Mawr, when she was q star MEM
Der of the Dramatic Club AS a natural
outcome, she was especially interested
in dramatics during her four years at
VasSar. She spent vacation times with
the Wharf Players at Provincetown,
Mass, and when she was graduated
from Vassar in 1928 she joined the
University Players Guild at Falmouth
on Cape Cod. There Mr.. winthrop
Ames saw her and engaged her for the
role Of Jessica in George Arliss' pro-
duction of The Merchant Of Venice"
Later she appeared in queen Bee"
and then William Harris, IT,, engaged
her to support Arthur Byron In the
Martin Flavin drama.

Screen Demands Sincerity.

"CINCERITY is the secret of screen
success!' says Alec B. Francis,
who really ought to know. Alec, at
present is to be seen in THE Case of
Sergeant Grischa," in the role of that
kindly German general who does his
best to save the life of the condemned
Russian prisoner, Grischa.
IAN actors thoughts" continues Mr.
Francis, register on the screen just as
surely as the moving Of an eyebrow, or
smile. If player cannot feel the
part he is portraying, some sixth sense
win convey that fact to the audience
and the character 1t sees on the screen
will seem false and unrealistic.
1.-THE ability to live the part is one
OF the actors greatest assets. Talking
pictures, Of course, have made sincerity
even more necessary than before. Now
adays we act with the voice as we'll as
with facial expressions, and laugh
which rings with conviction oftentimes
makes character more realistic than
dozens Of pantomime tricks"
