"How was your round of golf, Sally?" I asked.
 "Oh, awful" she said ruefully I'm just terrible. But l can't be cured. The worse my shots get, the better I love the game"
 Well, sit right down there, and forget golf for the next hour," l said. "For after watching you scrub powder on your nose the oth- CT day, I can see that part of your cosmetic education has to be re- pair right now"
 "As a matter of fact" Sally re- marked, 'I feel terribly ignorant on the subject of powder. There must be lots of reasons for all the diff ferent kinds I see in the stores and I confess I'm likely to choose pow der because it smells nice and be- cause the box is pretty"
 There's nothing unusual in that, Sally" said, flor how many times have heard the same story. How ever, women are learning to thrust aside such trimmings and to study out for themselves; just as you are doing, the deepe reasons for all the things that go to make them lovely.
 Now, you remember your first lesson in beauty care, don't you, Sally" I said, and recalled to her the basic division of skin types oily, dry and normal. You see,' said, that's not only important ir choosing the right creams and To- tions. It's just as necessary to con- sider skin type in choosing powder A dry skin needs a powder with more of a cream base, which will be sure not to steal away it's sparse supply of natural oils"
 "Goodness, I never thought of that" said Sally. And of course, since my skin is dry, I should have a powder, specially made for it, shouldn't I?"
 Certainly you should" We'll, point number one had made itself plain. Immediately. as I knew she would, Sally brought up the subject of the shade of powder. T just love that faintly rosy tone of the mauresque powder you gave me- she enthused. Tt seems to give life and pep to my skin. I use it all the time."

1.-THE MENACE" AND THE
 PASSIONATE PLUMBER"
 CLOSES AT LYRIC TONIGHT

Lovers of the exciting in film en- tertainment, have thrilldom at its best in a screen adaptation of an Edgar Wallace best seller that opened last night at the Lyric the ater. It is "The Menace" which was transferred to the screen py Columbia PiPctures from the we'll known story, "The Feathered Ser pent."
 ''The Menace" is a tremendously thrilling drama of vengeance. An escaped convict returns to his an- cestral home externally an entirely changed man, but internally still burning with the desire to prove himself innocent of the murder or his father and bent upon tracking down the guilty parties. An oil well explosion. proved blessing m disguise for Ronald Quayle. Ills mutilated face was entirely remade and when he returned to his ances- tral home, Quayie Manor, as Rob ert Crockett nobody recognized him. .

Richard BarthelmeSs Has New Sensation in "Alias the Doctor" at State now.

Richard BafthelmeSS Has New
 Sensation in "Alias the Doctor"
 at State now.
 Richard Barthelmess scores an- other sensational triumph in Alias The Doctor current feature sat- traction at Warner Bros State.
 He plays a brilliant young sur- geon who underwent shame and Imprisonment to shield worthless foster. brother.
 It is story of tremendous sweep and power, of thwarted love, supreme sacrifice and devotion. It gives Barthelmess an opportunity for emotional expression, such as no picture has quite afforded him since "Tol'able David" And back of it all is theme of undying love and romance that is finally unveiled n a happy surprise.
 Playing in support of MT Earth elmess is an unusually strong cast headed by Marian Marsh. Others who are prominent are Norman Foster, Lillian La Verne, Adrienne Dore. Oscar Apfel, John St Polls. Wallis Clark, George Rosener, Nigel de Bruiler, Reginald Barlow, Ar mold Lucy, Harold Waldridge and Robert Farfan.
 While heavily dramatic, there is lighter vein in the story, the happy-go-lucky medical student days, which is highly entertaining and acts as a foil to set off the l more tense moments of the stark I drama. Barthelmess makes the most of these powerful dramatic scenes to probe the heart of its depths. The story works up from one high spot to another until the final smashing climax attains the pinnacle of human emotion. | As an added attraction the man agement presents Stan Laurel and Oliver Harley in their latest come

"Arrowsmith'' With Ronald Col man and Helen Hayes Great Sensation Now at the Fox Poi Palace.

One of the classics of modern American literature has become one of the classics of the screen in Ar rowsmith,'' Samuel Goldwyn's pro- duction of the famous novel by Sinclair Lewis, which came to the Palace theater last night. It has reality, tension, splendid acting. a gripping sweep of emotions, and new type of role for Roland Colman to make it one of the film events of the year.
 It is easy to see that Colman's S performance of the young hero, Dr Martin Arrowsmith, has as much to do with the success of the picture as the brilliant story that made the book a best-seller. Without single false step, never losing the personal appeal which has made him such an eminent figure on the screen, he builds Arrowsmith up into complete character who will live a long time in the memory of picture fans. It should rank with his per formances in Beau Geste" and Bulldog Drummond."
 Helen Hayes Scores Again
 In addition, "Arrowsmith' gives the world of movie-goers another opportunity to see Helen Hayes. whose emotional powers made her first picture, 'The Sin of Madelon Claudet" such a triumph.
 Fox movietone news, and screen souvenirs completes the program.

Dear children:
 Perhaps you can read this letter yourselves, or perhaps you will listen while someone else reads 1t to you, but 1 have little story to tell you and would be very much
 pleased if you could spare about five of your precious little minutes. Right near where I live there are two gray squirrels. One IS called Frisk and the other is called Mrs Gray Tail. Brisk is Mrs Gray Tails boy. He is almost as large
 as his mother.
 They are very tame and people feed them nuts They run all about and climb trees and hide
 under bushes and play on the pavement and never worry about
 thing; that is, Frisk never worries But his mother does. She worries
 like everything sometimes.
 What she worries about are the great black and red and blue things that roar along the street and make more wind than a storm. A Parental Warning
 She has told Frisk all about the danger. He must never try to pick up a crumb out there where the cars are. and he must never try to cross if there is anything coming. Yesterday Brisk had a lesson that nearly made her heart stop beating, and his, too, but he Is 3li right now, and Mrs Gray Tail won't worry so much, because, as she said to her sister-in-law, Mrs Whls- kers, a good lesson is worth more than a thousand pounds of advice. When the accident happened my
 own heart almost stopped beating because I was on the sidewalk and
 saw the whole thing. . Frisk had dropped nut and 1t rolled out in the middle of the street. He didn't think. He want ed that nut very much and every
 thing looked all right. The "bie black car was way off and it didn't
 seem to be coming very fast l A Serious Accident
 Out he jumped and the car was right over him in second. Ii l didn't crush him but if someone I had picked him up by the tall and used him for a drumstick that IS exactly what he looked like. The
 wind of the car seemed to suck him
 under and he couldn't get away.
 Up and down on that hard street
 he was hammered and his poor It,
 tie head must be aching dreadful
 ly to-day.
 I rushed out and picked him ur
 when the car threw him aside. l
 thought he was dead. But he came
 to slowly and I laid him on some
 grass to get his breath. Poor Mrs
 Gray Tail was chucking distrac acted- | ly overhead in a tree. By and by
 Frisk stood up and hobbled away
 glad to be alive. It was very
 narrow escape. but he will need

A MISHAP-

Because it had grown so much colder Sue slipped into camers hair coat that was warm and thick with a great collar that kept the wind from her face. The hat that she crushed down on her head was the same shade of brown as the coat, and her gloves, practical things for driving, were brown too
 Ruth wores her school coat and hat. Nancy's clothes, lovely as they were, had given the girls more costumes for afternoons and even- ings than for practical purposes.
 Sue hadn't thought of Corrinne very much lately. She hadn't had time to let her younger sister, with her gypsyish, dark face, drift through her thoughts. Now sud- denly, arranging the wide belt of the sports coat, Sue remembered the coats that hung in Corrinne's S wardrobe. A great raccoon that was long haired and silvery. A gray squirrel that was soft and lovely. A lapin jacket. She made face at herself in the mirror. Clothes didn't matter. She would rather have Jack than all the em- eralds and rubies and diamonds that. any Arabian fairy tale could have given her.
 The car started swiftly. The garage was warm and the car had been used not very long before. But the snow was drifting in the road.
 q wonder if we'll get back all right tonight" Ruth asked sud- denly. "I hope we don't. To be lost in snowstorm would be just the right ending for today. At least, for me, it would. Is that the road ahead?"
 Sue drove carefully. But swift ly. She wondered to herself if she would ever learn to be as careful as she ought to be. She liked rhythm, motion. She didn't like the steady monotony of slowly go- ing some place.
 But the car eventually reached town, was parked in a garage, while they saw the show they had wanted to see, and went to dinner afterwards.
 Starting home, in a dusk that was growing black much too fast, Sue decided to drive past her fam ily's house. Just to know that the lamps were lighted and the fires were bright, somehow made it seem that life was right. But when she came to the house it was dark Everyone must be away" she said out loud. Ut looks forlorn I think I'll drive around by Harry and Corrinnes. It isn't so far. have funny yearning to know where my folks are tonight" The road was white. Startlingly white. There were few tracks. "It's blizzard, only we're SC | foolish we don't know it." Ruth said. Everyone with any sense is at home tonight"
 Harrys house was just ahead Lights shone from the window Welcoming lights.
 As Sue neared the house she glanced out. She saw figures 1T the roms. She wondered if hel family had gathered there. Sud
 denly she felt sorry for Ruth. Sor | rier than she ever had. Ruth, too was separated from her family Not by aly misunderstanding tha

When Ellen at- tempted to take him into her arms Mike wriggled free to demand If she would bring him something from London.

Treatment and Paneled Skirt

Mitzi ThrorUs Jackie ODer-
 And IS He BURNED UPk
Heart Trouble Smites Young
 Movie Star
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood.-Even the young sters out here are having their heart troubles these days. The other day we happened to mention Mitzi Green to Jackie Cooper. And did he blow up. Boy! He went halfway to the ceiling.
 "If she had the last nickel in this world, I wouldn't speak to her." Jackie exclaimed.
 Then it developed that Jackie simply has been bitten by that green-eyed monster because Mitzi threw him over for a new boy friend.
 One Chance in 100000
 Would you like to be film star? Yes. Well. you have one chance in 100000 of attaining this goal. And you would have only one chance in 10000 of ever becoming a, featured player. These statistics were compiled by Rex Bailey. casting director at Radio Pictures studio.
 Every man, woman and child in the United States is motion pie ture possibility" Bailey declares. "Yet there arer only 25 film stars. giving the candidate somewhat less than one chance in 100000.
 "The featured player class isn't quite so tough. There the odds are only about 1000 0to one"
 Wedding Bells for Ken?
 "When I finish this tour I would like to come back to Hol- lywood and get married"
 That's what Ken Murray, we'll known vaudeville and radio star who recently signed long-term film contract. told me just before leaving on a 10 weeks tour with Mary Brian.
 The statement was somewhat surprising since Ken, once mar ried, never showed any inclination toward a second leap until he ar- rived here. And he declared that the thing which made him want another wife was that so many of his friends here are happily mar ried.
 Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks, Clark Gable and his wife, Johnny Mack Brown and his wife, Richard Dix and his wife, Conrad Nagle and his wife all were cited as examples of how one really should live in Hollywood. But, can you imagine any man going on a 10 weeks personal ap- pearance tour with Mary Brian saving he wanted to get married | WHEN HE GOT BACK?
