Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

have discovered that about one per-
son out of every ten can recall having
once fancied that he was being deceived
about the facts of his family tree.
These childish suspicious are known as
hero fantasies" The hero, that is, the
suspicious child, fancies that he is real
ly descended from royal or even super
natural parentage.
Many hero myths have found their
way into the legendary accounts of real
or mythical personages. You will recall
Aeneas, who was the son of Venus, and
Hercules, who was the son of ZeuS.
There are other sorts of hero fan
tastes. For example, some persons con-
tinually imagine that they are not in
their proper place. No matter what
position you assign them at the banquet
table, for example, they secretly feel
that some more or less intentional over
sight has befallen them. On such oc-
casions they secretly resolve to do eX-
traordinary things. and so in time prove
their rightful rank among men.
Then there are those who just can't
bear to stand in line at ticket window.
They will walk away and come back
later when the line is gone. This pro-
cedure satisfies the suspicion that they
belong in class by themselves.
If you have ever had Such fantasies
as an adult you must as child have
had few flights into the imaginary
realms of the heroes of extraordinary
birth.

some sentence into the ears of the one

to the one next her, and so down the

she says what she heard. Compare u

OUR CHILDREN
Fundamentals.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

l am fundamentals. No, not that
kind exactly. I'm the kind that asks
that children learn thoroughly, learn
once for all, the fundamentals OF
knowledge
I'm for the freedom of the child al
ways. I work to free the children
from their own ignorance. l know
that children are strangers to most OF
the experiences that are familiar every
day matters to me. I know that they
are not habituated to work, to think,
to live with safety and economy in the
world of today. If they were they
would not need me and all the other
teachers in the world would be quite
useless. 1 do not expect that to hap
pen this generation.
We have to teach children to read
and write, to figure" We have to
of living 1t is not possible to teach
the details of life. All we can hope
to do is to teach the principles We have
discovered, and to teach them well.
Take arithmetic. In order to use
mathematics in any activity OF life one
must know his tables. They have to
be automatic. Imagine having to stop
in the midst of computation to count
on the fingers the how-much of seven
times seven. No. The fundamentals
must be thoroughly and completely
mastered in the early grades-all the
fundamentals of reading and writing
and arithmetic.
There is a time, usually it comes
along about the psriod between 6 and g
years, when the children have strong
interest and great power in memoriz-
ing tables, sounds, words, rules. This
is the time when fundamentals come
naturally. Teach them, drill them, ap-
ply them daily until they are part
Of the childs mental equipment,
know no better way than to men,
orize these arbitrary facts. Devices
that tend to disguise them are only
lumber in the way. All languages used
to dress them up is fog and confusion.
The child in the lower grades of the
school is hungry for simple direct facts.
He loves to repeat tables and words
and sounds. He likes concert work.
He likes the accumulation of knowledge
and power these lists of tables give
him. He likes to recite poetry, the
more rhyme, the more rhythm, the
better. We need to take advantage of
this period of growth to teach the fun
damentals of learning and of character
Thoroughness is a great quality. 1t
lends fine strength to character. Now
1 do not claim that being thorough
in tables will make a child thorough
in well-dcing. But 1 do claim that If
this attitude of mind is cultivated in
the early years it is likely TO be carried
over into the character of the child
and color his conduct.
Honesty, thoroughness, consideration
for others are fundamentals of charac-
ter 1 believe that the time for teach
ing them is in the early years of the

with school the success of the children
is assured. Let's all be fundamental

But what they RELY look at
Is usually their faces.

The Last Parade
 State Feature
Deals With Czars of Gang dom Who Kill for
 Supremacy

Warner Brothers State theater brings to it's talking screen this af- ternoon and for the ensuing three days one of the most unusual and highly entertaining talking screen productions that have come out of the work shops of the industry this year. It is titled "The Last Parade" and is based on an actGal happening in Chicago recently.
 Of course the story concerns gangdom and it's czars who are con tinually fighting and killing for su- premacy, but never before has so vivid and realistic a picture been painted as patrons of the State will witness in this production.
 In Hartford. during it's recent showing, crowds were turned away from the theater at every perform ance and press and public alike ac- claimed it as far surpassing Little Caesar" and all the other fiction fzed tales of the underworld, gang sters and present day racketeering.
 The plot of the picture is logical and convincingly developed. Realism is the dominant note; although thrills abound, they are the natural outcome of a well-constructed story.
 Interest centers around Cookie Leonard and Mike O'Dowd. both of whom fall in love with Molly Pear son, a pretty nurse. After the Armistice. Mike is reinstated in his job as a policeman, but Cookie a former newspaper reporter, finds that another man has taken his place. Driven by want, he hi-jacks a liquor truck and through a series of startling events. becomes a notorious gangster Molly and Mike endeavor to save him from

Comedy Riot at the Palace
Fl Brendel and Eff D'Orsay in "Mr Lemon of
 of Orange"

.El Brendel, the funniest of all
 screen stars, and that fascinating
 little French tamale, Eff D'Orsay,
 co-starred in their newest Fox
 Movietone laugh drama, MT Lemon of Orange" is the big attraction
 heading the program offered at the
 Fox-Poli Palace theater for four
 days only starting Sunday afternoon.
 In Mir Lemon of Orange" you will
 see new and totally different Fl
 Brendel. this time in a dual role
 playing two radically different char aeters, the one, MT Lemon," a
 harmless, innocent, Swedish toy
 salesman from New Jersey; and the other, Spider McGee," notorious jackers. Then let Eff D'Orsay, sweetheart of McGee, get mixed up
 with the innocent MT Lemon from
 New Jersey, and we have the in- gredients of one of the funniest pie
 lures since "The Cockeyed World"
 MT Lemon of Orange" depicts the adventures of an inoffensive Swedish salesman, who is mistaken for a dar- ing gangster when he takes an even
 ing off at a night club. The result

 up with the sweetheart and 'moll' of the real gangster, Spider Me- Geo. also played by Fl Brendei.
 makes one of the years funniest pie
 lures. The gorgeous and alluring
 Eff was never more charming than in MT Lemon of Orange" and the mixture of her Frenchy notions. the
 witticisms of Fl Brendel, and the thrills and sensations of modern gangland as practiced in a big city, makes MT Lemon of Orange" one of the hit pictures of the year. If
 Fl Brendel hadn't taken his Swedish comedy characterization from the stage to the films and scored a tre- mendous hit, the world might have had glimpse of the comic in near role much sooner. For the first time since entering the pictures, Fl Brendel shows an en- tirely different type of part. as Spider McGee," gangster and bad man, in "Mr Lemon of Orange"
 As "The Spider" gang lord of the beer running racket, Fl Brendel brings to the screen convincing and funnily exaggerated portrayal of the swaggering crime czars who boss the underwOrld's activities. A travesty on the much-publicized activities of the gangsters, MT Lemon of Orange" in spite of it's pure comedy vein, brings an intimate view of life in the land where men. liquor and love are hard. Brendel, in his first dual character role, provides both comedy and menace as "Mr Lemon" and Spider McGee.' Another star getting a break in new type of character is the charming Eff DOrsay the hot tamele from Paris, who furnishes the love interest in "Mr Lemon of Orange" As the bereaved sister of gang war vic- time, and the bait used to lure Bren- del to his rendezvous with the avengers, Miss D'Orsay shows amaz- Dorothy Revier.

Garden Presents
 Ruth ChattertOn
Famed Star Appears in The
 Right to Love-

Ruth Chatterton-an incompara- ble actress-in the vehicle she be- llieves will be her greatest achieve ment.
 No other actress on the talking screen is her equal in dramatic characterization. She plays upon the emotions of an audience with su- perb understanding. Here is the subtle touch of genius.
 Madame K Sarah and Son, |"Anybody's Woman"-one remark a ble portrayal after another, has at- tained for Miss Chatterton supreme popularity in her preferred field of drama. She has won the praise of critics; the enthusiasm of the entire theater-going public.
 Her claim to the title, First Lady of the Screen" is undisputed. 2
 And "The Right to love" offers the first lady greater opportunity than any previous picture-for the full expression of Miss Chatterton s dra matic force.
 In this story she is not confined by the limits of single portrayal. She enacts two distinct roles, and in one of them steps the part from the trusting innocence of girlhood to the mature philosophy of motherhood.
 It is drama of life rescued by iove-a story of emotion-the eager joy of young romance-the rendinS sorrow of death to the father of her child-the passion of mother-love-- hatred-desire-an the bitterness of disillusionment.
 Heading the supporting group of players are Paul Lukas and David Manners. The companion feature is "The Squealer" with Jack Holt in the greatest acting part of his career, A superb characterization that will delight you!
