Now that Spring and warm weather

that are as hot, humid and de-energiz-

Hamlet" and "Othello," which have
revenge for their plot motive, could be

Another rule declares that mo film

in their characters as ministers of re-
ligion should not be used as comic
characters or as villains"
Mr.. Hays said: THE adoption of the
code marks the latest and greatest step
taken in the motion picture industry in
the direction of self-government, to the
end that the theatrical screen shall con-
form not only to the highest standards
of this art. but to the wholesome in

Says:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, April
Here is the advance copy of
what Mr.. Hoover will say over the
phone Thursday to the Presidents of
Argentine, Chile and Uruguay:
Brother Presidents, you are lucky to
preside over a land where there is
no Pennsylvania to make your
tariff, where sugar is a commodity
and not an issue, where your manu-
facturers and your farmers are so
primitive that they think their relief
has to come from their own efforts
and not from their President, where
your countries are not prominent
enough to have refugees stranded
at foreign conferences, and lastly.
brothers, if the prohibition issue ever
comes up during your term, resign
quick in favor of your worst enemy.
Boys, am telling you a mouthful.
Yours in envy. H. H."

foreign guests of the festival of the

Pigeon fanciers claim that

The liquor problem is different.

music would encourage drinking.
The court, however, disagreed,
and the license was granted.

Back to Normal.

GERMANY is fast becoming a fertile
field for outstanding play and story
material designed for screen treatment,
declares Jacob Wiki, head of the story
department of Warner Bros, following
a survey of the fiction and drama stu
alton in Germany with a view to cap
turing the best literary talents and the
most significant artistic output there.
Mr.. Wilk finds that during the re-
construction period in Germany fol-
lowing the World War, a new genera
ton of creative writers has sprung up.
They have, he discovers. more normal
slant on the emotions, and are no
longer under the influence of the first
crop Of writers who were touched to
the quick by the horrible experiences
they had undergone, and who used
them as morbid themes. The new
generation is shrewd and daring as the
old, but their emphasis is on the nor
NAL emotions of the normal man and
woman of today, rather than on the
abnormal and exceptional cases that
were the themes Of their predecessors.

Nancy S Beauty Hints.

THE modern woman of the business

solved"
A 15-minute restorative schedule has
been worked out by Miss Carroll and
employed by her to remove all traces of
fatigue from studio work before the
social events of the film colony.

After the rest she applies skin tonic
to her face, neck and shoulders to aid

Cannot Compete With Stage

Nannot compete With Stage.
BECAUSE the stage has an in-the-
flesh appeal, the talking screen
cannot hope to compete with musical
comedies in dance ensembles. accord
ing to Laurence Schwab.
Schwab who with Frank Mandel
produced such stage musical hits as
Follow Thru" Queen High" Good
News" New Moon" and THE Desert
Song" is now in Hollywood co-direct-
ing the film version Of Follow Thru"
says: "A dance number will not en-
nance the entertainment value Of a
screen production If 1t is merely an
ensemble presentation, no matter how
lavish or how expensive. Choruses In
stage shows appeal because the girls
are in the flesh. They may be singled
out and watched. There is a personal
appeal.
Strangely enough this feeling of
reality which is so remarkable in the
characters in the story part of a hlm,
is not carried to the screen in chorus
work. On the screen the chorus
seems far away and lacks a personal
touch. I believe the future In screen
dancing lies In speciality numbers
There we get the illusion Of reality
with one or two dancers which we
cannot get with large ensemble"
