Younger Generation

NEW YORK. Sept. 10 G.N.S0
The younger generation in Amer

It's reaction to the serious prob
lens that confront it is "Oh,
Yeah?"
Such, at least, is the opinion
of Edna Ferber, novelist, who has
just returned to this country.
Miss Ferber says that she has
nothing personal against the
younger generation-which she
considers to be any age from II
to 30-but that as far as she can
ascertain it just doesn't think.
She said:
Nothing matters to the
young men and women of to-
day but wise cracking. The
boys and girls that are going
to college have absolutely no
serious discussion. In this
country to be serious is to be
ridiculous.

Not a Swan Song,

WHEN Gloria Swanson announced
that her new picture for United
Artists would be an original story by De
sylvia, Brown and Henderson, Holly
woodites shook their heads in doubt,
Song writers as dramatists? 1t
couldn't be done.
Those most directly concerned with
all the head shaking, however. were the
least concerned what Hollywoodites
thought about their abilities as dramatic
authors. They plunged into their work
with characteristic zest and turned out
a straight drama, entitled "Indiscreet,"
in which keen critics say Miss Swanson
was never seen to better advantage.
The picture Is now at Loew'S Columbia.
"Play writing and song writing have
this much at least IN omnon-or1ginal-
ity is the keynote of success" says
Buddy De sylvia, spokesman for the trio
The public Is quick to sense repett-
ton, and If the vehicle cannot stand
contrast successfully then you might as
well toss it in the waste basket"
The story of Miss SwanSon'S new pic
ture sets the star in a turbulent sea Of
emotion. She is trying to save her sis
ter from an unhappy marriage with a
discarded sutton, and as the result of
her efforts finds her own romance in
grave danger, due to circumstances
sometimes tragic and at others hunlor-
Gus. 1t is in these circumstances" that
the authors let their Imagination create
originality of a high degree. At any
rate the story inspired truly dramatic
portrayal by Gloria.
The singing trio has since crashed
upon the rocks, but their story Is doing
some phenomenal lingering. It Is not
swan song, If you don't hate q pun.

WHAT Is Gloria Swanson really like?
Movie fans-mcn and women
alike-invariably ask that question
about Gloria Swanson. There is some
thing about her that provokes curiosity.
'WeM," says her special representa-
tive-and he ought to know-'"MisS
Swanson, for instance. is mortally
afraid Of being killed in crowds. That's
why she frowns on making personal ap-
pearanees unless it Is absolutely impos-
sible to avoid them. The last time she
made appearances in New York, and
London at the premiere of her picture
she had to be carried out rear door.
The sight of clamoring fans crushing
about, the shouts of police officers, and
the general excitement proved little
too much for her. In New York she
actually tainted.
"She doesn't like to be 'yessed.' She
can see through a flatterer with speed
and ease. She knows when she has
something good. and yet she never kids
herself, She has a quick temper, and
acquires likes and diSlikeS easily. Either
it's good or it isn't. She can be con-
WINGED, though she must have respect
for the convincer'S competence.
Gloria has a Shrewd knowledge OF
what the public wants IN movies, espe-
cially women, and-but why tell every
thing? Why not study Gloria herself?
She won't fool you-nor, by the same
