MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MoLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, March 10 (N.A.N.A).
Consider the situation from any angle
you will, the fact remains that this
morning Hollywood's most famous male
star and most highly paid female star
are in difficult positions, so far as their
movie pictures are concerned.
Jack Gilbert's story, Redemption, p"
taken out of the can, rehashed and
given a preview down the country,
again had unsatisfactory results. Yet,
thanks to an astute mind and series
of situations which left him master Of
the moment, he holds the most tremen"
dous contract in Hollywood. The money
runs I'D into a million or more. The
time limit is almost three years.
And Ina Claire, the lady whose ex-
quisite expert art commands 500, 900
the picture, has had Barry's play,
Holiday" stricken from the register.
Ann Harding is doing 1t.
Ina Claire may have had something
to do with that herself. She told me
frankly the other day that she was
weary of being o Park avenue lady
she wanted to play the human being
that she is for the public to see and
know. 4
This actress is a human being, a
round personality, a vital, wonderful
woman. The public never fails to re-
Spond to such "a person, given the
chance to contact with them. The
barrier of cold sophiStication and the
nat mechanism of talking screens are
Q bit thick. If Ina Claire gets the
chance to play q human being, as she
wants to do, she'll 60 Overland how!
Doris Eaton is still vigorously explain
ing that she didn't know Herb Nacio
Brown was enamored of her. And Mrs.
Brown is as persistent In telling Tin
COURT that she did.
The Eatons have absorbed an amount
Of interest in hollywood since their
arrival here last year. Mary Eaton
married one OF the director -beaux
whom Hollywood felt really belonged to

How the ancients mixed their paint
ing colors is still an unsolved mystery.

cavated city If Pompen look fresh even

one OF the cinema group. In those days
there was more rivalry between the
stage and the screen. All that Is being
gently ironed out. Success Of stage
people is back of the ironing.
Pearl Eaton is directreSs Of dance o.
one of the larger studios. And the re-
mainder of the Eaton family are living
up to their name by operating a res
taurant Now Doris takes her share o.
village interest by becoming the tnspira'
ton of the tuneful Mr.. Brown, accord
ing to Mrs. Brown.
Restaurants and rumors, dance rou.
tines and divorceS-it sounds like
lively stay for the Eators. But It's al
in the Hollywood picture.
The companionate kiss comes as q
Hollywood contribution to this Springs
fun. Companionate kissing ct parties
has been considered just feature o.
making mild whoopee. You kiss thu
gal standing next you at the Lemonade
bowl and nobody cares.
Old So-and-So would come in with
his wife and there would be q lot o.
companionate kissing all around. OLD
friends would give the conventional sa'
timents about mot missing a chance
like this" and back up the word with
prompt action. A good time was had
by ali, and nobody took 1t in my spirit
other than that me mt.
Then suddenly q lady outside thu
colony sued her inconspicuous civilian
husband for "companionAte kissing"
nefghbor at a party. Hollywood get
the credit for the tag. Well, Hollywood
wants the reputation of setting the
fashion in clothes, so why not IN
flirting?

hungry herds feasted in the meadows.
Virginia and Maryland waited and
hoped in vain. Burning week after
burning week no rain fell. Upon this
innocent countryside the demon Of the
drought, bafled elsewhere, seemed to
be &C.. ,cntrating its fury. Now, we
learn, it is accompanied by retinue
of minor demons, each doing its part
to make the situation worse. Such q
violent variation from the normal
course of nature as is involved In a
rainless Summer has wide. ramifica-
lions. The balance is upset and nobody
can predict what will happen.
The latest pest to descend upon the
fields is the Fall army worm which has
appeared by the millions, in some
places completely destroying any green
patches of field, lawn or pasture which
the drought has left. Ordinarily 1t
would not be a serious menace, for 1t
would find sustenance in the waste
places, consuming food no other crea-
ture wanted. But insects must eat to
live. In this caterpillar there seems an
especially potent inherent drive to eat
all the time 1t must seize its food
wherever it can find it, and the lawns
and gardens alone offer it any
sustenance.
And, competent entomologists say,
insects of other sorts will cause I'M
usual damage. There are many which
ordinarily fit into the balance OF nature
in this locality They feed on fruit
trees, but do little damage. The trees
are strong enough to resist them. But
this year the vitality Of the trees is
greatly lowered. What is ordinarily
innocuous may we'll be fatal.
Can the farmer, his hopes blasted SO
often and from so many directions, be
blamed for applying theological In
depreciation to his misfortunes-for
attributing to the forces of neture a
purposiye malignity?
