Next Is Peep
"Inside" "

Telling the truth" about Holly
wood has become a favorite in
ternational pastime. Everybody's
doing it now. The newspapers
started it. The fan magazines
followed suit and the novelists
took up the game. The stage
climbed aboard the band wagon
and the radio has Joined the
chorus.
A recent survey revealed that
the press of the world has some
900 correspondents stationed in
the film capital to satisfy the
universal appetite for news and
chatter direct from Hollywood.
Figuring that seven or eight
hundred million people can't be
wrong in their desire to get a
peep behind the scenes of film
land, the screen is making it
unanimous by producing it's own
version of the truth about Holly.
wood.
Shows the Insides
The film, which will deal with
the motion picture industry, re-
veal its secrets and the life of its
people, is RKO Pathe's What
Price Hollywood, with Con-
stance Bennett in the starring
role. Made in Hollywood by Holly
wood people, it is a sort of auto
biography with the undeniable
stamp of authenticity.
Adela Rogers st. John, one of
Hollywood's own authors, who is
familiar with every phase of film
colony life, wrote the story. It
deals with girl who crashes the
studio gates to success.
The action sweeps from such
colorful centers of social life as
Malibu Beach and the Brown
Derby to the carefully guarded
interiors of studio sound stages.
Glittering Hollywood Boulevard;
the noted border resort, Aqua
Caliente, and the princely estates
of Beverly Hills receive their
share Of film footage A glamor-
GUS world premiere at the Chinese
Theater is pictured with all its
pomp and ceremony.

There is something about the return OF

courage that compels the human soul to a
new realization of the wonders Of this
wonderful world we live in.
Tt is no wonder that humankind from
the earliest times. has celebrated the re-

tival. The dead world has come to life. The

buried in the ground has arisen from the

turned from their winter retreats and are

GREED

am inclined to agree with Prof.
Henry G. Russell, of one Of the Hart
ford high schools, who told the East
ern Commercial Teachers Association
the other day that the principal thing
the matter with our social and eco
nomic order today is an excess of
greed DR.. Russell warned the Teach
ers' Convention that young people must
be taught the dangers Of avarice.
Get the money" without regard 10
how it is got seems to be the motto
of an increasingly large number Of
young men and women. 1t is this idea,
fostered by success stories, in print
and to a very large extent in the
movies. that is at the bottom of the
whole system of racketeering Organ
lied crime is simply organized greed
1t is still true, as Saint Paul wrote
nearly two thousand years ago, that
the love of money is the root of al
evil Not money itself but the love
of money And the only possible cor
receive to the tendency to put money
above everything else is to change oui
whole method of teaching the young
SO that they will learn that it is pos
sible to live happily without much
money-even more happily, for mos
people, than if they had money.

PATIENCE IS NEEDED NOW.

are not arguing about that. 1t Is the exist

and 1t Is not likely to be changed very soon.
But our point is that every measure

LEADERSHIP

The type of normal human beings
whose health is always perfect and
whose nerves are always calm seldom
or never develops leaders or men of
genius, according to report of the
University Of Illinois Research Lab
oratories, where scientists have been
studying human types for several
years.
Il is the people who are nervous,
uneasy and always looking for some
thing to do who take the lead in new
business enterprises and become the
geniuses of art and literature this re-
port suggests Tall men are much more
likely to be of that type than the short,
stocky ones. The difference arises
largely from physical causes. The in
ternaT chemistry Of one type is much
more variable than OF the other And
this leadership type is much more sub
ject to illnesses which have their ORR
gin in nervous instability and blood
changes, than are the more placid peo-
pie.
Perhaps the quiet folks who never
do anything except follow the normal
routine of life are more contented
than the other kind, but they don't
have hall as much fun!

The old idea that money can be made
only by selling high-priced commodi-
ties to the wealthy is responsible for a
great deal of our present economic

Washington, D. c., April 5l--Anybody
who can guess what this Congress is
going to do is entitled to some sort
of medal. Everything was moving
along smoothly, in the most statesman
like effort on the part of leaders of
both parties to straighten out the ma

combination of radicals Of both parties
mustered strength enough to smash the

In this curious gronp the leader was
Representative La Guardia of New

Byrns, Democrat. Of Tennessee, and
Representative Ramseyer Republican.

They definitely knocked the pro-
posed sales tax into a cooked hat; but
more serious than that, this breaking
away from party control has had a
bad effect upon Democratic political
hopes.
What sort of a tax bill is going ta
come out, nobody now dares to pre-
dict with any attempt at accuracy. Nor
is it possible to tell how governmental
expenses are going to be reduced
