Just
Every
Day
Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TINE most incomprehensible of
n male inconsistencies is the
average mans belief in woman's
lack of ability and her fancied in
fuence over his behavior.
He does not hesitate to tell her
that she is a weak sister and that
her brains are nothing to brag
about. She is neither a genius nor
thinker. She has made no nota-
bic contribution toward the arts,
although he may give her credit
for producing some pretty smart
boys.
Yet it seems her powers of
moral Suasion are enormous. We
have, for instance, NJ. BRAND tell
ing us that so long as women de-
fend humanity against wars the
cause of peace will be in good
hands.
And famous divine says that
when the women of the nation
actually become concerned over the
present state of behavior we can
effect a moral revolution. More
over, a noted f1nacier contends
that it is within our power to
bring back prosperity.
It 4
IN other words, for nitWits we
Il seem to have a good deal of
responsibility On our shoulders.
These masculine diatribes, pro-
perly interpreted, mean that if we
will only leave important things
to the men and stick to our pro-
grams of silent prayer and con-
centrate on influencing" every
thing will be Splendid-for the
men.
But beware gentlemen bearing
compliments! Because this meth
Cd of distracting our attention
from the real issues is as old as
the hills.
When st. Paul exhorted the
ladies about keeping their heads
covered in church, he was up to
the same trick and succeeded in
getting their minds away from
the fact that they had nothing
whatever to say about the man
agement of the organization of
which they were large part.
We are pretty dumb, 1 grant
you, but I trust we are not so
besotted with ignorance that we
can not see through these bats
and know them for what they are
hot air.
The truth is that women never
have influenced men except
through their baser natures and
toward evil. Our prayers may
have assembled to the ears of God,
but seldom indeed have they
moved the gentlemen, en- masse,
from their purposes.

WHAT'S IN FASHION?-
Bright Colored Jumpers

.ATEW YORK, July 14.-Today is
IN Bastille day in France-equiva-
lent to our own Fourth Of July.
And the same colorS-red, white and
blue-wave over France today, too.
The red, white and blue also
wave in fashion this season. In
France today, as well as in America,
you'll see lots of red-white- and blue
worn by well-dressed women.
A good deal of it will be used in
sports costumes and quite large
proportion of it will be in sports
jumpers.
Bright colored jumpers are in
fashion, worn with all kinds of
sports costumes. They're short,
ending just below the waistline
or even right at the waistline,
sometimes.
Majority Are Sleeveless
Most of them are sleeveless, let
ting tanned arms or the contrast
ing sleeve of the dress show. Some
have short cap sleeves. A small few
have long sleeves.
They're SmarteSt over white, nat
urally, because with white they
make the sharpest color contrast.
But over pastels, too, good color
combinations can be made that
certainly make anybody stand out
from the crowd.
Most Of the jumpers you'll see
this year are of flannel or jersey
and quite simply made with
V-necklineS and belted at the waist.
OF Knitted Wool
Some of them slip on over the
head. Some fasten down the front
like a cardigan sweater. But there
are other types more unusual and
just as fashionable.
The knitted wool jumper, for in
stance-the one that's just about
ideal for golf when worn with a
flannel skirt-can be had in solid
colors or many colOrs.
Plaid or striped woods Of light,
loose weaves. featuring the bright
Algerian shades of red, blue, green
and yellow, make any costume as
gay as you like it.
Different CIosings
While most jumpers either don't
faSten at all or fasten straight in
the front, some of them close way
over at the left side. Some others
are made like a mans waistcoat, in
double-breasted effect, ending in
points below the waist.
One of these is shown in the
illustration
Some have round necks or square
instead Of the usual V-shape. And
some are quite detailed, like the
jumper originated by Goupy, the
Paris couturier.
Closely Fastened
This is shown in the center of the
illustration and has a yoke effect
that faStens close to the neck, and
polo length sleeves. It's of flannel
with contrasting belt.
This is an especially good type of
jumper to choose if you're planning
any kind of boat trip. It's a little
warmer and more protective than
the others.
You'll find these jumpers useful,
too, if you go in for riding or for
camping or any sport where YOU
wear trousers or breeches. Thew
look fine, pulled on over the tailored
shirt and Snugly belted.

Hollywood. - California's noted sunshine may bring happiness to our motion picture executives who foot the bills for producing pictures but the effect isn't always the same upon those who are working in front of the cameras.
 Naturally the executives like sun shine as rain often causes produc- ton delays which cost thousands of dollars. But those who work under them have varied ideas regarding the weather.
 Marlene Dietrich. for example. sdisiikes the sunlight intensely. That sun" she says. 'it seems to shine ali the time. It seems to dry up my blood. wish it would rain." Greta GArbo also prefers clouds and rain. She likes to take long walks in the rain.
 Evelyn Brent also prefers tenn peramental weather. When she was in London year ago she used to take long walks in the fog. But she doesn't do much walking around Hollywood.
 Gary Cooper and Lupe velez have contradictory tastes. Gary likes rain. There is nothing like the

MARION DAVIES IN "FIVE AND TEN" HER FIRST DRAMATIC,
 PROVES HIT WITH PATRONS
 OF WARNER BROS. STATE

OC ttfAkkNGft tftJS. 9IAIE Marion Davies in Five and Ten" closing at Warner Brothers State theater tonight where she has been delighting patrons of this popular theater in her first dramatic role. Modern, daring, hilarious and yet intensely dramatic, the Fannie Hurst novel offers the star something en- i tirely new by way of characteriza- ton. Miss Davies, as Jennifer, daughter of the five-and-ten-cent- store magnate, is a different Marion Davies than we have known on the screen in the past. She is a more convincing and repressed person than We had been led to believe. Indeed, her excursion into the realm of drama is by far the outstanding achievement of her career-and to this reviewer she has been without rival to farce comedy honors.
 Richard Bennett and Irene Rich play the parent roles and Kent Doug- lass, as the brother, rounds out the Rarick family, of which Jennifer is prime factor. Jennifer, setting her cap to win the young society archi- tect, chooses the wrong weapon with which to combat her rival. By em- ploying her fathers money in the fight her motives are misunderstood and she loses. There is later com plication, however, which brings them back together, although under rather compromising circumstances.
 Miss Davies has never appeared to so excellent advantage as she does In this production. She appears per fectiy at home in her dramatic char acterization and she evokes a genuine sympathy in her distress.
 An excellent surrounding program accompanies the feature picture in- cluding a Slim Summerville comedy and pictures taken of the Eagles parade held here last week.

 It's funny what the talkies have done to some of our players. In the old silent days Ricardo Cortez was one of moviedom's most popu- lar leading men. Then the talkies came in and Cortez went out--on
 the run. They wouldn't even give him a chance. Less than a year ago he finally got a chance. And now he is more in demand than ever before.
 The impossible often is accom- plished in Hollywood's movie stu
 dios. But occasionally directors do become a bit unreasonable. A few days ago Dave Selman, who is di-
 recting the Spanish version of "The Good Bad Girr' for Columbia, tore into the casting office and con- fronted an assistant casting direc- tor--a very pretty assistant casting
 director.

 boys who wield the megaphones.
 Norman Taurog. who directed
 "Skippy," was talking to little Jackie Searl.

Astoria, L. I.-Gloom and uncer. tatnty hang over the otherwise gay scenery of Paramount's east ern studio here these days.
 The rumors that this just-off- Broadway film-making plant would close down, as part of a general re- trenchment program, have spread from Hollywood to Harlem.
 And the actor-folk of Broad way, who have no great desire to toss over stage work and head for Hollywood, are more than slightly upset. The theory of the eastern studio was that it's proximity to Broadway would make the talking screen handy to any number of stage stars. And so it has!
 However, from such inside in- formation as is obtainable it uaissai of 150 attaches a few days until late summer. There will not Dc 50 much of 1t, to be sure, but there is likely to be some. I have 1t. for instance, that Tallulah Bankhead's next picture will be made in the east during July; that George Abbott, the director, will remain; that Nancy Carroll will probably make another film here and that there will be at Jeast one or two tohers.
 On the other hand, Ernest Lu- bitsch has gone back to the west after finishing "The Smiling Lieu tenant" which is his best picture in many Q year. It's one of the best light summer shows in New York. what with Maurice Cheva- Her and Miriam Hopkins and Clandette Colbert and Lubitsch up to some of his sly, naughty comedy. It is, in at least one opinion. the most amusing picture Chevalier has had; the best directed and the best played.
 Miss Hopkins. one of Broad ways clever products, becomes definite talkie material In this film. And very good she is, in- deed. She. too, is headed for Hollywood. And in very good standing with Director Lubitsch, if you can believe the studio chat ter!
 Just how the necessity of going out to Hollywood would affect a number of superior Broadway players is hard to determine. But with such fine performers as Frank Morgan and Ernest Truex appear ing in music revues it's simple to see how hard the stage must have been hit.
 And another film matter which Broadway is chattering about con- cerns Lionel Barrymore, most ver- eatile of the Barrymores.

It is contained in "The Lawyers Secret in which an excellent and all-stnr cast, headed by Give Brook, Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen, brings to life tense complication of mod ern-day living.

as to state that Lionel is 'the greatest actor of all the Barry mores." Certainly he is better than John has been in many pic- lures. His characterization of the brilliant lawyer, victim of liquor, is one of the finest performances seen this season. The picture opened here as $2 attraction, and has great deal to recom- mend it. The story is not one of the recommendations, being an adaptation of one of Adele St Johns yarns. Yet direction and Barrymore overcome many obsta- cles. And Miss Shearer has sell dom seemed lovelier, though somewhat too restrainedly lady, like.
 Considering that Lionel Barry more has been directing, and very well, and now is playing twice as well as he directs while planning to return to directing, 1t can be seen that he is more than ordi- narily talented.

 "The Lawyers Secret" is the story of a professional mans fight to preserve the ethics of his profes. sion and his love for q girl.

Arlen, on trial for his life, for a crime of which he Is innocent, nearly pays the su- preme penalty because Brook can not reveal secret confided to him by Rogers. his client and Fay's brother.
