'.ITS TOUGH TO BE FAMOUS" BASED ON LIFE OF AMER ICA'S GREATEST HERO, HEADS DOUBLE FEATURE BILL AT STATE TODAY

With it's newly acquired courage in satirizing American modes and manners, the motion picture has hit upon a subject that has been very much in the public mind these past few weeks; how we treat our national heroes.
 We love to make heroes. .and i've seem to enjoy unmaking them. I've lift them to the heights and then make them the target of envy, Jealousy, sorrow and tragedy. No matter whether they struggle against fame or leap gladly into the limelight, the reward seems to be pretty much the same. In the last forty years, from George Dewey to the Lone Eagle, we have dono our best to break our heroes hearts.
 "It's Tough To Be Famous" which headlines the double feature program at Warmers State today, Thursday and Friday proves this to the letter. It is the tale of America's greatest hero, brought to the screen with sincerity and frankness. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, hoes a splendid job of the starring role with Mary Brian, Lillian Bond, Dscar Apfel, Walter Catlett and other favorites combining to make 1t worthy of the three stars it was given by Frederick James Smith n his Liberty Magazine review of he picture.
 This double feature program, one bf the finest ever seen in a Water bury theater, also includes Beauty hnd the Boss" co-starring Marian Marsh, the first star of 1882, and Warren William, with whom she hpp0ared in Under Eighteen" brings to the screen gay dramatic eomedy involving the progress of young girl who discovers and makes use of her charms, much to the astonishment of her em- ployer.
 Miss Marsh and William were again brought together for Beauty And The Boss" because their par icular aptitudes ideally fulfilled he requirements of the script, which closely follows the original play, "The Church Mouse"
 Beauty And The Boss" features strong cast of well-known stage players, including Charles Butter worth, whose comedy furnishes many hearty laughs, Frederick Kerr, Lillian Bond. David Manners. Mary Doran, Yola D'Avril and Bar para Leonard.

As the suave draw ing-room thief Lupin, John Barry more gives one of the most de- lightful and entertaining perform ances of his distinguished career, while Lionel Barrymore, as the de- tective, has never been seen to greater advantage. Between the adventures of the two. the audi ence is given more than it's usual share of cinema diversion.

NA-ffM SIIA NALE W NLAA0A Hollywood. .-Sadie Thompson in "A Test of Her Talents.''
 You never have heard of that picture. Yet it and some 2,00O more like it are made in Hollywood each year. None, however, ever are seen by the public. And most of them never are seen by audi ences of more than 10 persons.
 What a waste of time to make them, you might say. But you are wrong. Each of these pic- lures entails of expense of, from $500 to $1,000. That goes on stu dio ledger books as some of the most wisely spent money of the year.
 These unsung and unheard-of films are the screen voice tests through which every newcomer in the picture business gets his start.
 There was a day when screen tests were delegated to inexpe- rienced studio technicians. Today, the ablest directors with carefully selected staffs of cameramen, sound recorders and makeup arr lists, make all tests. It is on the strength of these tests that, new players are given new characteriza- tions to portray.
 Screen tests are divided into two classes. About half are tests made before picture goes into production to determine the best type of makeup for particular character. The others are per- sonality and voice tests of per- sons who never have been on the screen. These persons may be prominent stage artists or they may be unknown.
 Wynne Gibson was forced to make nine separate tests for her lrole in "The Strange Case of Clara |Deanue," in which she appears as a young girl middle-aged and an elderly woman. Because of the three periods covered by the pie ture, numerous tests were neces-

w WINTER beauties are hard to
"a see-for those simple tastes,
wv at least, that like their
beauty to be prettiness or
sheer snowy, expensive e
"gaud," like cannon-ball chrysanthe-
NUNS in florists windows. But it is
there. nevertheless, in woods, in the
open fields and even in that most cheer

stream bank. There is nothing that
would so ravish the soul of JapansSe
artist as few stalks of our wool-grass.
with its delicate clouds of brown fleece
'borne on the top Of very slender, erect
and graceful stems. Or cotton-gra
which is more beautiful still, and OF a
paler brown or even, sometimes, white
as a SNOWFALL. To find it, however, you
must visit the magnolia boys OF Prince
Georges County, in Maryland. Together
these two make Winter bouquet of the
utmost charm. Like immortelleS, they
will last for weeks in the house, even
without water, without feeding, since, of
course, they are not in flower but, in
their own peculiar way, in fruit, like
cattails.
Wool grass and cotton grass are not,
of course, grasses at all, but sedges. The
sedge family briStles with difficulties for
| the amateur nature lover when he comes
| to distinguish between the different va
rieties, but even school child can be
| taught the difference between sedges
! and grasses.
! Grasses, as a rule, have round, hol-
/ low stems; sedges, as rule, have square
stems that are solid or at least filled
! with Spongy pith. And, for the most
part, SedgeS grow in water or wet places,
| grasses in terra firma. There are eX-
| ceptions. but the rule holds we'll enough
| to make beginning of wisdom.
| To this Winter bouquet you can add
| wild yam pods that grow SO plentifully
! in the pine woods and the thickctS OF
! alder and river-bank birch beside the
| little runs and brooks of both Virginia
[ and Maryland. They have loosed their
! seeds now, and the three silvery cham
! bcrs of the pods stand open. frail and
symmetrical. For color's sake l would
| add few of the ever timber and green
tWigs Of spicebush with their handsome
scarlet berries Or a few heads of the
dwarf or aromatic sumac, with its
/ hearty red-velvet coats around its fruits
and, while you are exploring the Swamps
of Prince Georges County for the rare
cotton grass, pluck few sprigs of bay
berry, Just to add the touch of a hand
some gray.
The beauty of this Winter bouquet
lies IN the fact that not only did it not
cost anything, but it is made up OF
plants which even the most conscien-
tious can pick with light heart. The
cCnservationists do not need to entreat
us to spare these plants as they do the
sadly prosecuted holly and mistletoe
and bittersWeet. These are not more
beautiful than the plants of my Winter
bouquet; they are merely fashionable ,
Too many people who roam the woods
in search of Winter beauties do not
know there is anything to find but
holly and mistletoe and bittersweet.

Winning Electric Power.
HOW FROGS HELPED.
BY FANNY Y. CORY.

r T may Seem strange to hear that
frogs have helped men win knowl-
edge about electric power; but it
/ is true
They were dead frogs, and had
no way of knowing what it was all
about; but they served their purpose.
In the year 1880 an Italian named
Luigi Galvani was at work in the city
OF Bologna. He was trying to learn
about the nerves of frogs by seeing what
would happen when an electric shock
vas given to them.
Since the frogs body is very moist,
it will conduct an electric current very
well. Galvani found that if he touched
a dead frog At the same moment an
electric charge was drawn into the
frog, the legs of the animal would draw
up as if it were alive!
At later time Galvani learned
another amazing fact. He found that
pair Ct frogs legs fastened to brass
wire would make strong movement
if the fest and the wire were made to
touch iron at the same time.
What did this mean? Galvani did
not know. But the key had been found
too a great secret. When the key was
used it would bring about the electric
battery!
GelYani supposed that the frog had
scr:e electric power in it, hut he was
only partly right. The power" was its
moist body.
Another Italian. rlsn naYed Ales-
sandro Volta, vas the ere who put the
key in the lock. He believed that the
important thing was the difference be-
tween two metals.
