Just

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

GONE very disheartening con-
~ sequences are growing out of
our present economic situation.
In q certain welfare organiza-
ton, the woman who has been
in charge of the employment de-
partment for many years, and who
has interviewed thousands of
women each year, tells me that
many younger married couples
are getting divorces so the wife
may hold her job.
Lying about their marriage has
become the usual thing" says this
woman. I'm some cases, after
the divorce, the man and wife
continue to live together, and
often they separate and go to diff
ferent cities, where the woman
will pose as unmarried while the
husband in another town can't
report himself married man.
I believe that something very sad
for marriage is growing out of all
this"
Of course it is. No reasonable
person who understands human
nature, even feebly, can fail to see
that.
TXTHEN we make Singleness a
w standard for job getting, we
not only Subjugate marriage to
materialism, but we work a hard
ship on both the married woman
and the single man. For the
bachelor also is beginning to COM
plain over the dire situation.
He charges that married men
are given the preference in the
hard struggle for jobs. He, too,
is hostile. and justly so, from his
point of view. Sometimes he is
a war veteran, and then he be-
comes very revolutionary in his
remarks.
There are many factors enter
ing into this question that we
hardly dare overlook.
To me it seems particularly IN
fortunate that this condition
should have come about. Women
have had such a long and des-
perate struggle for economic in
dependence. They have fought
so terribly for the right to earn
a living. 49,
And now the question confronts
them: Shall they forego marriage
altogether, shall they try out the
companionate kind, or shall they
do what right now may appear
to them the easiest thing. indulge
i'll free love? Too many of them,
fear, will choose the last
alternative.

Even my family wants me
back. and that is little short of
a miracle. They offer me a
trip to Switzerland and the
Riviera. Money appears from
all comers. But there are still
those four months-and I shall
not cure.
IT shall live my last four
months with finesse and taste.
So, you see, this may be an
other of your very sad cases. A
sad case that is not sad at all.

his word. He had his last fling,

.ishestP Paid
Writer Is
Woman

Fannie Hurst is Americas high
est-paid short story writer. The
few words that she had to say
about writing in a recent inter
view should be Of interest tt
readers and writer's alike. Fol
what she says comprises more
than a decade of experience as
a working writer, and one who
has never hesitated to undergo
actual physical h dships ir
search of literary material anc
realism.
Five and Ten" the Fannie
Hurst novel which Marion Davies
has just made into a motor
picture, is an excellent example
of Miss Hurst's technique ir
writing.
Describes Characters
In speaking of the character:
in this famous story, Miss Hurst
said:
"The characters in my book
have not been lifted from life.
They are simply the result of
my impressions Of life. They
are composite characters.
anyone looking at the pic
ture Of American life is struck
by the economic contrasts on
every side. This phase / have
tried to set down in my book.
"'Five and Ten is the story
Of the rise Of a 1O.cent store
magnate, and how his wife and
adventurous daughter and his
misunderstood son strive to find
happiness"
But how do you achieve the
realism for which you have be-
come famOus?" her interviewer
asked.
Miss Hurst smiled.
II spent nearly a year and a
half at research before I began
this book. / went into the his
tory of chain stores, economies,
the history of gems, and many
other things.
knowledge is like plumbing
in a house. 1t doesn't show,
but it's tremendously impOr-
tant."
In order that the realism o1
Miss Hurst's work should be
brought to proper fruition on the
screen, Robert z. Leonard, di
rector who can make realism in
teresting with touches of romance
and comedy, was selected to di
rect the new Marion Davies pic
ture which will be seen begin
ming Saturday at Loew'S Columbia
Theater.

Barrymore Drops
Mesaphone to
Act Again

Time and changes wrought by
today's conditions cannot alte"'
the spirit of the Barrymores.
When Lionel Barrymore took
up directing, he announced that
he was through with acting, but
when a really great role came
along the old urge proved as
strong as ever, and the hereditary
spirit of the country's most famous
theatrical family conquered.
Hence Barrymore is playing

lawyer father in "A Free Soul"
hel new starring vehicle now
being shown at Loew's Colum'
bia Theater. The Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer picture is based on the
Adela Rogers st. Johns novel and
the role is one Of the most dra-
matte in modern literature.
This does not mean that
Barrymore will forsake directing,
ir which field he scored such sCc.
cess as Madame X" THE Rogue
Song" and Ten Cents A Dance"
But" he says, "it is good for di-
rection to act once in while and
keep in touch with the psychology
of the player. And-it's great
role"

Tyler Hard Luck

The movies have dealt Pro
ducer George Tyler another hard
blow. Last season he had George
Arliss all lined up for a cross
country theatrical tour, until
that sure-fire box office actor de.
cided that Hollywood hours and
money were better than the
Iigors of the road.
Until few days ago Producer
Tyler had hopes of sending out
the lamented Belasco's last star
and play, Helen Gahagan in
Tonight or Never" But Gloria
Swanson owns the screen rights
for that play and, being des-
perately in need of a hit picture,
will put it into production at
once. That means the end of
Tonight or Never" as a touring
stage attraction.
Miss Gahagan is not among
the disappointed ones. The recent
death Of her father left her the
principal beneficiary Of a $780,
900 estate and, since her ambi-
ton runs to showing off her
glorious voice in opera, she will
make her American debut as
guest artist of the Cleveland
Stadium Grand Opera Company
in Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusti.
cana" within a few weeks.

Nancy Comes Soon

Arch Selwyn has decided to give
Washingtonians an opportunity to
see Nancy Sheridan in a real
Broadway part for Private Lives, -"
when it closes in New York to
take to the road, will come directly
to the National Theater, opening
the tour here, September 81. It
marks the seasons opening.
This means that Washington
gets the No. l company of the
Noel Coward play, the one in
which Otto Kruger and Madge
Kennedy are co-featured. 1t is
routed through to the Pacific
Coast.
A second company of Private
Lives" will have Edith Talliaferro
and Donald Brian featured, and
there is talk of a third touring
company in which Billie Burke
will share honors with some
eminent leading man.

The Cooper Myth

Among the myths which cir
culate where movies are dis
cussed is the strange They tell
me" rumor that little Jackie
Cooper. the juvenile star of
"Skippy" is nothing more nor
less than an adult midget.
It distressed me not a little be-
cause I had Percy Crosby's own
word that the kid was one Of
those rare geniuses who come up
every so rarely to make us or
dinary mortals envy and marvel.
Columnist Louis Sobol Of the
New York Journal happens to
have the low-down on little
Jackie's ancestry and makes it
public to set the amazing little
boy actor right with his public.
Jackie's father was vaudevillian,
David Cooper by name, who de-

later, of course, the entire thing
was forgotten.
When his funds ran low.
Willy wound up in the Cave OF
the Fallen Angels. an American
night club that was run by a
couple of fallen Russians. In
that spot Willy did some sort
of a weird dance in a costume
that cannot be described i'll this
family gazette. But the lights
were low, nobody ever saw the
dance, anyhow-and everybody
was satisfied.
Some months later the baron
again hit those newspapers. He
claimed to be madly in love
with one Vera Leightner, a
most mysterious lady who lived
very beautifully without 1aVlng
any apparent source OF In
come. After informing the So
ciety columns that he was do
ing Vera the great honor to
make her his bride, the lady
ups and calls for Europe with
the son of a noted banker and
leaves Willy standing forlorply
on the pier.
With the ship news reporters
to comfort him land those
boys, 1 can assure you, are
among the worst comforters in
all history, Willy cried into IL
perfumed handkerchiefs. He
swore by his title that he would
have revenge upon both Vera
and the bankers son. He
would even challenge him to a
duel.
With handkerchiefs?" asked
one of the boys.
That was too much for
Willy. He strolled down from
the pier, sobbing as though his
heart would break. I really
felt sorry for the poor guy. So
I overlook him and asked If
there was anything I could do.
He Disappears
mo, no." he cried bitterly.
What is there that anyone
can do? But for your infor-
nation, I will tell you the
truth of why I am crying: MY
only trunk is on that boat!" -.
Willy disappeared. The pa
pers later learned that he was
the wayward son of German
banker and had no more title
than Charles Levine. 1 often
wondered what had become OF
him. And in September, 1926,
I had a letter from him. It
was the letter I mentioned in
my first paragraph; the letter
that fell from the scrap book.
Mon. Cher Hellinger::" it

questionably touched with some
kind of human sentiment. But,
my friend, why so senti-

matter, but you will probably
be surprised to learn that I
have but four months to live.
-Four months! If I should
prefer what they call the cure, ,

bed. So, I prefer the four
months.
But what shall I do in those
four months? I have studied

rates to Schopenhauer. I think

feature, "Dishonored." 1t tells of
a woman of the streets who is
drafted into the Austrian war
service, to find that her official
task conflicts with the first real
love which has entered her life.
Pitts Is Show Stealer
There is an unusually effective
fade-out for the narrative in
which Miss Twelvetrees does her
best work. Zazu Pitts with just
a minor part is given two minutes
towards the close and nearly
escapes with the chief honors be-
fore she retires to the maids
niche in the kitchen. I think
Helen Twelvetrees would have
done better had she been given
more dialogue. For some strange
reason the authors trimmed her
lines so that the character of
Elsa assumes a retiCence, pro-
nounced enough at times to be
irritating.
William Blackwell serves ably
as the romantic foil, and Lew
Cody, H. B. Warner and Nance
O'Neill play the other important
roles we'll.
