SINGING extras are the newest

by the ~ound films. Over 800 of

The singing extra is paid from 81

fled into Is groups by voice and
type. Warner Bros, Fox and
Paramount make many demands

no regular movie jobs.

GIOVANNI MARTINELLI of the
Metropolitan Opera Co. joins
his mellow voice with those who
predict that the singing pictures
will popularize grand opera. For
instance, he is quoted as follows:
There has been big improve
ment in the singing pictures.
Methods of photographing and
recording make it possible to
record a complete grand opera on
the screen, and this will undoubt-
edly be accomplished. The chief
difficulty will be in breaking up
the action into short takes to
avoid the monotony of the same
settings for entire acts. This can
be done, but it will entail some
difficulty in preserving the con-
tinuity of the music. RehearSing
a scene for grand opera for the
screen is more difficult than re-
hearSing the same passage for the
stage, because the artist does not
have the same familiar surround
ings. The soundproof stage is so
much smaller than an opera
house that there is difficulty at
times in gauging the volume of
sound required. The singing pic
ture, I think, will popularize
grand opera in America"

Little theaters throughout a wide area
near New York furnish their stages
with scenery from Gains ghost ware
house.
When the Provincetown Players, re-
Gently disbanded, produced I'm Abra-

Gains father, John j. Cain, who had
resigned from the New York police de-

But the theater became more of big
business" and Cain, as his fathers
successor, took 1t up in a serious way.
Now, when q critic labels q play "a
typical Cain success" 1t means that his
guess is that the play won't be around
very long.

Saw Only Purposes.
AS you sat by the bed and talked to
Mother Jones her irish eyes seemed to
burn with FIRE born of the combustion
Of timid thought. You felt as though
you could almost see through the world
old enigma Of a soul imprisoned In q
body for her spirit blearned out a.
thing apart and in your very presence
you seemed to feel It defying not only
obstacles, but time itself. Il was as
though she looked right out beyond
all that has to DO with places or the
present, and saw only purposes
And she's won out!' More impress
sive, even, than the victories she has
won 10 the crusading spirit Of she who
has had the courage TO stand for
single purpose no matter what the odds.
The whole house seemed to radiate her
virile personality and one left its front
door fairly intoxicated with courage,
the courage to defy iife's obstacles In
the same way that Mother Jones has
defied. not only her own, but obstacles
confronting millions of the big human
family.

When you recall the fact that the
fashion history Of the last century was
marked by a continuous series Of re-
vivals Of all the romantic periods of
the past, you can readily see that there
is very little in the way of sleeve de-
sign that has not been brought into
play in shaping sleeves for the present
season.
Experiments had TO be made, because
sleeves had been elaborated in any
way. During all the seasons when we
were preoccupied with skirt lengths
sleeves remained practically IN
changed There seemed TO be no one
type Of sleeve that was naturally due
for revival
The only well-defined feature Of the
situation was that sleeves should be-

Well COStumed Hands

in brown and orange, If you please.
There is an elegance about this color
combination that well-dressed woman
will crave.
With your afternoon things, you will
find you need longer gloves. So many
of your afternoon costumes have way
of ending their sleeves a bit high. Or
there are plain, deep cuffs below the
fanciest of puffs, leg-o'-mutton and
other shapes, and you really need
gloves to carry out the idea.
Eight and 12-button lengths appear
for afternoon with the eight-button
probably the most satisfactory.
One pair Of putty-colored kid gloves
of this type has most unusual decora-
tive motif, small buttons uniting with
stitchings and applique in brown kid
They are svelte and rich-looking, they
make you respect their wearer's taste,
whenever you see them.
For practical purposes, for the bust
ness woman, the navy kid glove with
shirred godets of gray kid or beige kid
is an ideal solution to her problem.
These gloves stand up under wear and
tear, and like any really handsome
thing, they maintain their elegance
through the day an important point
for the business woman.

Maps as Charming
Wall Decorations.

To many persons there is something
irresistibly fascinating about maps
Those showing rivers, cities, mountains
and boundary lines of far-off lands re-
call past journeys or journeys on which
they dream of going. Maps of ancient
countries and cities carry with them
the allure of old romance and history
Maps OF countries near at hand sug-
gest possible motor trips and broaden
the horizon of every day living.
Within the past few years maps and
globes have come into Importance
among interior decorations. Old maps
rank with old prints among interesting
wall decorations and copies Of these
quaint old maps are used on lamp
shades and wastepaper baskets and are
put to a half dozen other decorative
uses. New maps that are made are as
decorative as the old ones-maps for
children, maps for lovers of romance
maps showing the routes taken by
adventures.
BY all means take advantage of this
present vogue for maps A large map
may be framed and hung in a book
room or in the book corner of a living
room. II the map is large the cost of
framing is rather high, because the
frame must be heavy enough to bear
the weight OF large piece of glass. But
It is possible TO have the map mounted
on heavy pasteboard. sheilacking the
surface OF the map to protect it from
dust
Sometimes maps are merely pasted to
the wall as wall paper is pasted. Deco
rators sometimes have panels arranged
in the library of precisely the right size
for the maps chosen.

French Openings
Show ReviValS

This is apparently to be a season of
nineteenth century REVEALS so far as
dress fashions are concerned. The
French dressmakers have not delved
back in remote history or gone far afield
for inspiration, but have drawn from
French-born fashions of the last CEN
tury for the most significant Of their in
SEPARATIONS. And always 1t would seem
they have done this with sense of
humor, restrained yet none the less
real.
The period of 1880-frequently be-
rated for the extremes to which the
hustle fashion was carried-has proved
especially inspiring. AS reproduced in
the present mode we have the satisfac-
ton of seeing the pleasing tendencies Of
the period shorn Of their Victorian
eXaggerations.
Chanel has played with these ideas
in a most interesting manner, while the
circular f1aring skirt with even hemline
and normal waistline stressed by Won
net and others suggests the gracious
styles of the 1890 period.
Paul Poiret and Molyneux have
done interesting things with the raised
waistline suggestive Of the directoire
and empire period. emphasizing the
more picturesque aspects of that Pc
Rod and several of the important French
dreSsmakers have drawn their inspira-
ton from the 1880 period with its wide
ly f1aring skirt and dropping shoulders.
There is no striking addition to the
length of skirts in the fashion launched
in Paris for the coming season. Ten,
II, IL and 13 inches from the floor are
the lengths most often seen for daytime
wear, with skirts from 10 to inches
from the floor for formal afternoon and
full lengths or trained skirts for eve
ming,
