Prince" "Maytime" and a score of others he
was the clown. Clarence Derwent is a-Shakes-
pearean veteran He was among those who
played in the revivals at Stratford-on-Avon.
Now you'll find him playing broadcasting leads.
So it goes-a large and glamorous parade Of
the grand old troupers who used to play in the
"opry house" Hams and stars alike, "the
road" Is gone for them, and by this interesting
change in entertainment mediums they still
reach the audiences before whom they once
played.
A ND they like this. They get great kick
upon receiving mail from towns where
they once transformed. Almost any of them
has dozen letters from old admirers who had
not forgotten them. And some have even re-
ceived time yellowed programs from tank towns
of America, reminding them Of the days
when"
But for the air retirement or change of oc-
cupatlon would have faced many of them. and
many would have passed into oblivion.
OF course the radio also acted in the other
direction. 1t provided openings also for a large
number OF the younger stars, which was most
opportune at time when so many performers
of real talent are pounding the pavements of
the New York theatrical district. Every radio
station forecasts popular Winter for the the
atrical type of radio entertainment.
An example of the younger star with stage
success behind her who has been won over to
the mike is Brenda Bond, whose performances
in series of musical shows and operettas
assured her a career But this stage future
she seems definitely to have put behind her
in favor of the invisible audience of the air.
Young and old rising and falling star, the
radio has opened a new and most promising
field to both.

on the air.
Her last role on Broadway was in "The
Ladder" play which will go down in history
as the Main Stems most costly success. The
producer, an Oil magnate interested in meta
physics, spent millions keeping this drama alive.
Then there is Harvey Hays. Broadway has

would by some evil intuition manage to pick

Yet some of the best stars in the bright light

the finest speaking voices to be heard on the
air. You may remember him from 1.-THE Bells"

that Of the "old pioneer in the western
dramas put on by the Empire Builders. for
instance.
As q matter of fact, since the drama took
to the air any number of famous oid-tiners of
the theater have become important radio fg-
ures. Many Of them were threatening to slide
into retirement, but here, playing to an audi
ence they cannot see, they enjoy the applause
Of fan mail.
Perhaps one Of the most famous of troupers
of yesteryear Is to be found backstage Of the
N B. c. studios. His name is T. Daniel
Frawley, and if the bushmen of Australia or
the hinterland folk of the Orient and India
know anything about drama it's his fault.
Not so many years ago he was known as
king of the transformers" There's a legend
that he has taken more companies to more
faraway spots than any troupe manager. Be
that as it may, recall when, as lad reporting

10 to 20 years later you'll find him doing
pretty much of everything around broad

Almost anywhere you turn in these days OF

So does Percival Vivian, who played Ibsen
for years and now appears with the Radio Guild
players. He's the highbrow clown of the air
the fellow who plays all the ShakeSpearean
comedy roles-such as Toby Belch, Falstaff and
Bottom.
It was something like IS years ago that
L'Estrange Millman was stock favorite.
And william Courtleigh still doubles between

Or maybe you remember Helen Holmes,

MARIE c. BRIGGS
Woman Sues for Recognition
as Legal Widow of
Artist.
b the Associated Press.

81 the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 26.-Testi-
rnony that the late Glare Briggs, news
paper cartoonist, asked her to witness
that he took Marie G. Briggs as his
wife was offered by Virginia Hammond,
colored maid at the opening yesterday
of Mrs Briggs suit for recognition as
the artists legal widow.
The maid said she had accompanied
Mrs Briggs, then known as Maggie
Toohey, to the Briggs country home,
at Bound Brook, N. j., in August, 1929.
Mr.. Briggs. she said, followed her into
a room where Miss Toohey was work
ing and took Miss Toohey in his arms.
F" Virginia, want you to be witness
to this" the witness quoted Briggs as
saying al want you to witness that I
am taking Maggie here to be my wife "
Theodore A. Lesser. Briggs attorney,
testified the cartoonist had asked his
advice about marrying Miss Toohey.
The lawyer said Briggs dreaded the
notoriety he believed would be caused
by the marriage. because his first wife,
Mrs. Ruth Owen Briggs, had named
Miss Toohey. as correspondent in her
divorce suit. Mr.. Lesser said he sug-
gested marriage in another State, but
Briggs feared the New York papers
would get the news by telegraph. Next
he suggested a cornmon-law marriage
before other witnesses.
Reuben A Lewis. Briggs son-in-law,
denied that Briggs considered Miss
Toofey his wife.

Personal Pride.

We call too seldom on the personal
pride of the child We learned too well
the old idea-Pride rideth before a fall
and naughty spirit before destruction.
We overlook the fact that a strong per-
scnal pride is a wonderful bulwark
against the day of temptation. It is
well to be too proud to stoop to cheap
or to evil conduct.
1t is a good idea to teach the chill
dren that such and such things have
never been done by the Smiths. Our
family never does such and so. No
Smith ever soiled his hands with such
transaction. What Is wrong with
that? Why isn't it fine for a boy or girl
to remember that he is q Smith and
that the Smiths have a record CEN
turtles long for uprightness and chiv-
airy? Why not?
Is it better to have them feel that
they do not count? That nobody con-
siders whether they do well or i'll? I do
not think so. Public opinion Is the
strongest law there is. When children
are taught to covet the good word of
the neighbors and friends, when they
are taught that their name stands for
honorable dealing, courtesy, idealism of
one sort or another, they cling to the
idea and it pulls them through many
tight place.
Then cheer for the family and for
the individual. Strengthen pride in
both Tell the tales of the grandfather
who was pioneer. OF the courageous
grandmother whose ak felled the trees
that built the old homestead. Tell with
pride of the ancestor whose name was
better than other mems bond.
We do not tell the children enough
about their ancestors, their nearest
relatives. their fathers and their
mothers We do not make enough Of
their victories. No victory a child at
tains Is a small one. A fine report card
ought to be celebrated. autographed and
dated and filed in the desk drawer to
await the coming of grandparents and
uncles and intimate friends. All good
deeds must be broadcast. emphasized,
applauded. We have been too much
afraid Of making children conceited
Secret pride in the children's accom-
plishments does the children little good.
Speak right out about them When a
child knows that you are proud of him
II gives him strength and puts courage
into his heart. He attacks the next
task with renewed energy and he sue
ceeds. Pride of the right kind is a
tonic and safeguard.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
By LOIS LEEDS.

Do YOU think it ruins the hair2 go
Does vaseline make the eyelashes grow
long? ANXIOUS.
Answer-Q) The ankles can be re-
duced through vigorous massage every
day and through daily exercise. How
ever, you must continue this program
faithfully for several weeks and per-
haps for several months before you
will notice very definite results. APP
ply massage alcohol and then rub them
vigorously for about 10 minutes daily.
The following exercises will help in the
reduction: stand with legs crossed and
toes pointing in opposite directions.
Slide one foot out to the side, toe well
pointed; bring it back to the starting
position. Repeat 10 times with each
foot. Though this Is rather difficult
to do at first, persistent repetition win
make it fairly easy and 1t is one of
the most effective exercises for re-
ducing bulky ankle.
Another exercise: Stand with heels
together, toes pointed slightly outward.
Rise on the balls of the feet. bend your
knees slightly and raise both arms.
Take a short hop forward, landing
on your toes with knees deeply f1exed:
swing your arms out in front as you
do SO. Spring up quickly and repeat
the hop.
Tiptoeing about your duties for a half
hour day will help to reduce the
ankles and it also strengthens ankles
which have a tendency to be weak
Another effective reducing exercise Is
to rotate the foot with the ankle as
an axis. The reducing cream will do
no harm.
ca If you go to competent opera
tor your hair will be given a test be-
fore the permanent is given. A per-
manent does not ruin the hair, but lack
of proper care afterward often does.
If your hair is dry 1t may be necessary
to give hot oil treatments, as the per-
manent will make it still drier. Those
with excessively oily hair often find
the permanent very beneficial. CD
Yes. Applying vaseline, olive oil or cas-
tor oil to the brows and lashes has q
tendency to encourage their growth and
it also makes them darker.
