Good Luck for Colman

That play, Jewel Robbery" "

ater last week with Basil Sydney

eventually slated to become a
Ronald Colman picture, for United
Artists backed the production.
Colman is also slated to star in
the film version of 'Cynara." This
is one of Broadway's smash hits
with Philip Merrivale as the star.
The play has two splended

Double Bill
or Opera
Given

The double presentation Of the
COSMOPOLITAN Opera Company at
the National Theater last night
was the sort of thing that
coursed the entire keyboard, so
to speak, from the lowest key,
in point of merit, to the highest.
Taking the operas in order OF
their presentation 1t would be
proper first to do a bit of quack-
ing about the charming favorlte,
Humperdinck's "HanSel a n d
Gretel," but the superior inter
probation of Caruso's delight,
Leoncavallos "Pagliacci," war
rants priority.
Picking up the thread of his
superb performance as Manrico
the night before in I'll Trovatore," ,"
Ivan Ivantzoff did wonders with
the tenor role of Canio. His
strong emotional voice and his
brilliant version Of the heart
broken clown brought down a
VI dpPAouSS'
1t would, of course, be sacrilege
to even whisper that he ap-
preached Caruso's famed version
of the role, but Ivantzoff made
the old walls of the National ring
with his "Veste le Giuba."
Grace Anthony, who'substltuted
for Gladys Mathew in the role
of the unfaithful Media. was well
cast. Mario Vale, baritone, and
Francesca Curl, who did so well
in I'll Trovatore." were even bet
ter in last nights opus.
It's kind of heartbreaking to
have to be severe on the endeared
subject of Hansel and Gretel.
But the audience last night was
truly disappointed, except for
Alice Haeseler's spirited interpre-
tation of the devilish old witch.
Helen Eisler was sweet and
acted childishly enough as Gretel,
but her poor weak little voice
couldn't make the grade. Hansel,
however, sung by Georgia Stand
ing, was plenty impish and had
just the right amount of punch.

The matinee performance of
Romeo and Juliette" sustained
the tone of the excellent per
formances of the two earlier
presentations.
Although Gounod's love tragedy,
a favorite with opera audiences
for years, started a bit slowly

and by the time the tragic lovers
reached the death scene, they
were superb.

past. But he doesn't seem to
be the slightest bit embarrassed.

'Nothin," he returned. But
I've seen a lotta shows lately.
And from what I can make
out from some of 'em, those
producers don't know nothin',
either. Amt my chances just
as good?"
I couldn't answer that.
Like so many other small
racketeers of 10 years ago,
Slim did move upward in the
Broadway world. With two
partners, he invested in a small
speakeasy on the West Side.
After a year or so, he bought
out one of the partners. An
other six months and he bought
out the other partner who, in

Your Child's Eyes

Frequently the condition of a
child's eyes account for his hehav-
ior or misbehavior - which we
find so difficult to understand. Eye
trouble makes a child nervous,
since he is under constant strain
to see fully and to do what other
children are doing and what is ex-
pected of him.
We blame the far-sighted child
for being a disturbing element in
the school room and for not loving
his books. We do not realize that
it is difficult for him to focus his
eyesight upon close objects. 1t is
hard for him to read and the strain
and effort make him tired and
nervous.
The near-sighted child, on the
contrary, is the "book-worm." His
eyes can work best when focused
on the page near to him. He will
not see the problems on the dis
tant blackboard and will miss some
of the instructions given there,
but there is a reason.
These three troubles eyes,

family at the table, may convert
the stale meal into a jolly family
party.
The good man often comes home
these days much troubled and per-
picked, wondering how he can
meet those bills and keep the home
together. Cheer him up with sweet
touches of beauty in his home life.
Show him you love him and that
wealth is not everything. Above
all things, do not tell him your
troubles nor nag at him in these
perplexing times when he is wor-
ried almost beyond endurance. Bet
ter is dinner of herbs, where love
and beauty and gaiety are, than a
stalled OK and a grouchy temper,
or even dull stolidity. ~. =.

Housewives Are Repaid
For Reading Labels
Prevents Purchase of Inferior and
Misbranded Foods and Drugs
Labels Misleading

Housewives are rapidly learn
ing that it pays to read labels,
says Miss Gladys Gallup, home
management specialist, Washing
ton State college. There is no
better protection against the pur-
chasing Of inferior and misbrand-
ed foods and drugs than carefully
reading the label. Labels must
state the true name of the product,
the net content, and the name of
the person responsible for produc-
ton.
Most food manufacturers use
honest labels but a few prepare
their labels for the definite pur-
pose of misleading the public. Col
ors and fine print often tend to
camouflage required statements in
regard to the contents. Sometimes
extracts are labeled as contain
ing a net contents of six drains,
which is in reality only three
fourths of an ounce.
Naming products incompletley
is another way INSCRIPTIONS man
ufacturers create false impress
sion which deceives the buyer.
Golden corn may be taken by the
buyer to mean golden bantam corn
when just the opposite is true. Pic
lures of maple camps may lead a
consumer to believe that certain
product is pure maple syrup or
sugar when such is not the case.
Some labels say beware Of imita-
lions when the product itself turns
out to be imitation if the label is
carefully read.
Trial packages, boxes with false
bottoms, bottles with sunken sides
and over large slack fill packages
are pust a few Of the misleading
containers which may deceive the
buyer as to the real capacity. It
pays to read the labels.

is to make this frozen-pack method

A development of the times IS
the 'back to the parlor" movement

call on her st her home and spend

Fashions, Fads, Foibles

Materials for spring dresses will
be soft and pliable. Rough weaves
and diagonals are in high favor.
Navy blue will be leading color,
with many bright blues prevalent.
Brown and beige are still running
strong and brick red or brighter
red is popular. Black is more IN
favor than ever, for both daytime
and evening wear. There is moth
inc better than black and white
combination. Contrasting colors Tor
belt and scarf enliven many q SOM
bre garment and variety may be
obtained by changing the belt and
scarf. Combination Of several
shades of the same color is newer
than the use of contrasting colors.
The silhouette is: broad should
ers. slim waist, long, straight skirt.
For daytime wear, the calf is hall
covered. Sport wear is an inch or
two shorter. The bias cut slender
ICES hips and waist lines.
The ensemble effect is more in
order than ever. In choosing hat,
coat. gloves or shoes, think how
thew will go with the rest of your
outfit. An exception to this rule
is the short, fitted jacket OF con-
trasting color and materials, which
NAV be worn with many dresses.
An innovation is increased width
Of heels on street shoes. For once,
a hygienic move!
The early spring hat dips over
one eye, much after the order of
the Empress Eugene. The later
hat will have wider brim and
snuggle more about the ears as
of wore. Variations of the beret
still prevail. Most spring hats are
a rough, shiny straw. There is a
new-type sailor with brim which
rolls up evenly all around. 1t is
called the "gob" hat and looks it,
but will be popular as it makes
the wearer look young.
