Lenz was pleased with his sides

after the Culbertsons had won a

made his little slam and followed It
with successful game bid.
He said that after the first game OK

Airplane Etiquette

What is the etiquette for air
plane riders and aviators? Should
the pilot help his passenger out
of the plane or is it every man
for himself?
One of the regular perusers of
the news reels brings a complaint
to the editors desk that the dis
tinguished Colonel Lindbergh pays
no attention whatsoever to Mrs.
Indy as their plane lands after
a trial spin. Instead he hastens
to a propeller which is making
a noise he evidently didn't like
and Mrs. Lindy scrambles out
herself.
AS a good grounding I make
no attempt to answer the queS-
ton. 1t is respectfully referred
to Jac Downs, office expert on
aerial matters or to the Boiling
Field authorities.

Politicians will solemnly assure
you that AL Smith lost hundreds

Whether this be true the fact
remains that New York's ex.gov-
ernor retains his popularity with
movie audiences. I suppose that
AL Smith has appeared more for
the camera men since his defeat
than any other national figure
except the President. He invari-

started to write in the first
paragraph-of the New York
theatrical star who was seated
in Reubens' restaurant the
other night and was giving out
his expert opinions.
"This sort of thing can't go
on" he was saying. The Amer
ican public demands sophistica-
ton. I'll grant you the Follies
is a gigantic hit, but what does
that prove? Nothing that can

Over in a corner sat a book
ing agent. He had been book
ing acts long before the star
had finished his first portion
of herring. He listened atten-
lively as the star talked on.

that Mrs. Irving Thalberg believes

A screen original, "O'Shaugh-

The story is by Malcolm Stuart
Boylan, who came into a nice
piece of luck with the deal. His

around for four years without a
bidder. Now, he gets one check
for the idea and another for
collaborating with Harvey Gates

Jackie's role in the stroy is
