MIDNIGHT SHOWS FLOP

Who is responsible for the Zieg
field walk? This is a question
which people have always asked
in connection with the ziegfeld
"Follies," coming to the National
Theater. November 80.
That the subject should in
terest many is not surprising for
ziegfeld girls have q manner Of
promenading across the stage
that is memorable. 1t has been
described as the walk of a god
dess or the walk Of q queen. And
yet these extravagant descrip.
tions scarcely characterize the
way in which a Ziegfeld girl
really walks.
How She Does It
She holds her head high, while
her stride is, perhaps. somewhat
longer than the normal step. She
is at once imperial and noncha-
lant-perfectly unconscious OF the
fact that she is walking and
being observed.
"This is the point" said Mr..
Ziegfeld. "AS soon as a girl be-
comes self conscious in her walk,
she Is a failure. It was stately
Dolores who first taught our
girls how to step across the
stage in a distinguished manner.
She was very beautiful . herself
and she definitely made a study
of the subject. When I praised
her she acknowledged my appre-
citation by saying that she would
be glad to teach the other girls
in the company her method of
walking.
Feet In Balancing
ITO my surprise, the first thing
she did was to bring a number of
heavy volumes back stage. These
she required the girls to place on
their heads. The effect was al
most instantaneous. Because in bal
ancing the heavy books and walk
ing at the same time the girls had
to gauge their steps and move
ments in such a way that they
duplicated the Dolores stride. 1t

Seth Parker Got

Phillips H. Lord, the Seth Parker
Of radio fame. whose first motion
picture, WAY Back Home" is now
on its second week at R.K.O.
Keith's Theater, was born on a
farm in Maine, calling Bangor, in
that State, his 'home town."
A broadcasting station in Hart
ford, Conn.,, was first to see posi-
bilities in Lords portrayal of a
Yankee farmer, and they permit
ted him to broadcast over their
station for the glorious sum of
nothing-for six weeks. Later the
station raised the ante to $40 a
week. Now, Lord is not only heard
each Sunday night over practically
every N.B.C. station from coast to
coast, but is also making personal
appearances at figures that make
that $40 weekly stipend look
mighty small.

never forget it. Rows of Statu-
esque show girls, who never had
time to read book, carrying
heavy tones on their heads with
all the sobriety Of sweet girl

Though the Ziegfield walk is
not applicable to the business
world, can recommend it as an
excellent exercise for young
women who wish to acquire poise,
distinction and grace"
The perfected ziegfield walk is
now one Of the feature of the

it will doubtless amuse you to

that you and the other critics

that I began the yarn with the
following:

mind, is a clasSic-concerns an

The word "notion'-Goodie

notion my friend, is a mental
apprehension Of something that
is either known or imagined. In
this case, the story was purely
imaginary. Which is exactly
what I said in my first line.

If Ruth Chatterton would stop
trying to be so deucedly clever
perhaps her pictures would have
more appeal. The attempt at a

Mark Tells Why

without question, Mark, "
writes Herman Goodman, you
are growing worse and worse.
In a column entitled, The Only
Way Out which appeared the
day before yesterday, you made
a grand blunder. 7 need not
inform you that it does my
heart good to tell you about
it.
I'm a story credited to Mr..
Lew Brown, you told Of an
actor who was hated by every
one. He decided to stage a
fake suicide in order 10 read
his own obituaries. The obits
he received were good instead
of bad. And, knowing that he
could never get such notices
again, he actually did commit
suicide.
"Well, I'll admit it wasn't
a bad yarn. But here Is where
you tripped and fell. You had
the actor standing alone just
before he killed hiRnself-and
you quoted the speech that he
had said to himself. If he was
alone, how could you POSSIBLY
know what he said and did?
"You will probably ignore this
letter, and I don't blame you.
How does it feel to be caught,

The pastor took the boys ad-
vice. He delayed the sermon for
awhile in order to gather some
material. And in the course of
his investigation, he had him
self invited to a very exclusive
weekend party in a Long ISL

Before dinner there were

was light wine. After dinner
there was dancing. But the
pastor, try as he might, could
discover no wild scenes and no
drunken orgies.
Accordingly, very early in the
evening the pastor retired to
his room. You don't need a

cerned the lurid tales about
