That is usually job for psychiatrist. be-
cause dreams are so often couched in symbols
which only one who has made study Of the
subject can read. But, say the authors, 1T Is
also possible for an ordinary person to analyze
his own dreams" If he is willing to take a
little time and trouble.
1.-THE first STEP" they say, "is to write out
the dream exactly as you remember it.
The sooner you do this the better. At first it
will probably be necessary to make some effort
to recollect all the details, but after a while
it will come easier
Next lay aside this first copy and without
referring to it, write out the dream again. Par
ticuarly notice now any differences in the two
accounts; the differences may prove to be very
important as showing an attempt on your part
to edit and disguise the dream.
Third recall the emotions you experienced
during the dream and more especially the mood
it left you in. Ask yourself for what reason
you wanted to conjure UP that particular mood.
If 1t made you feel worried and anxious, was
it because you had some task before you in
real life which you were not prepared to meet
courageously? If the dream made you feel
serene and optimistic, did this not correspond
with the attitude you were actually prepared
to take IN front Of some small problem or
other?
This process will give you the first general
Interpretation. When you know why you need
ed to dream yourself into mood either of
optimism or of encouragement you will better
be able to understand the dream itself.
Now take the fuller and more complete of
the two copies Of the dream as you wrote 1t out
at first. Split it up into words, either single
words or short phrases. as the story of 1t
seems to you to hang together Make list Of
these. You will generally find that one or
two words stand out in Importance much more
than others.
word and phrase ineth list and think back
what has happened the previous day that left
behind the memory Of such words such
symbols -. Write down against each word
or phrase what really caused it to come to
mind. Remember, too, your feelings at the
time of that incident the day before; they will
have colored the dream
The authors point out that these points must
be put down, no matter how trivial they may
seem-for in the Interpretation of dreams, the
seemingly trivial things may turn out to be the
most important.
A FTER the parts Of the dream have been
n linked up with incidents of the day before
the next task is to apply the same process Of
recollection, with the same words, phrases
symbols and so on, to all of your past life.
Especially remember" say the authors "the
first time you saw or heard or noticed the par
ticular object that came prominently into your
dream. You will perhaps have to go back to
your childhood"
To make this job harder, the words or SYM
bols are often slightly disguised Thus the
word satin" in your dream might make you
think Of Satan" and that, in turn, might re-
mind you of time when, as child, you
looked through copy of "Pilgrim's Progress"
= All Of this must be done for every bit Of
The dream. Then the list must be completed

But in the dream the horse-hy which, ac-
cording to the anecdote he had once heard,
knew jackass when it saw one. deliberately
came and settled on him, thus proving that he
was really quite justified in thinking very little
of himself He wanted to feel humble; the
dream justified this mood of discouragement.

AtLeast Scientists
Point Out How
These Mysteri-
Gus Experiences
Might Be Used
to Advan tage
Through Proper
Interpretation.

YER since men have been civilized
enough to sit down and wonder what
l. everything is all about they have been
trying to interpret dreams.
Some of the ancient civilizations
evolved highly elaborate systems by
which they tried to make dreams serve as
keys to a knowledge of the future. Savage tribes
have erected complicated theories about the
souls absence from the body during sleep, and
in many instances they, believe that mans
disembod1ed spirit actually does whatever he
happens to dream about-so that, occasionally
if q man dreams that his wife has been re-
ceiving attentions from other men, some
bizarre complications are the result.
In more recent years. people have followed
less involved methods Of Interpreting dreams;
and host Of superstitions still live in America
Science, however. has pooh-poohed any ef-
fort to draw a meaning from dreams-untl
very recently.
Freud, Jung and Adler have indicated that
what a man dreams may have very deep
significance about his own personality And
now The Scientific Dream Book has been
published to show just lat the latest scientific
theories concerning dreams really are.
This book. published by Brewer, Warren &
Putnam, was written by an eminent pSycholo-
gist and an experienced journalist who is
familiar with the field of psychology. They
have cloaked their identities under the joint
pen name of Jonathan B. Westerfeld. and in
1.-The Scientific Dream Book" they tell you what
modern science believes that your dreams may
indicate.

Interpretation of dreams are discarded.
Science will not read the future for you by
examining the stuff you dream about. But it
can tell you a whole lot about yourself and
provide you with information by which, very
often, you remake your future.
As the authors of this new book point out,
every dream springs entirely from the dreamers
own self and is made up of his own memories.
desires and impulses. When you dream, in
other words. you are u1rconscidusly telling your
self parable in which, usually. you are trying
to solve the problems that confront you, trying
to justify your past conduct or trying to give
reasons for things which you have decided to
do in the future
THAT is why a study of dreams be so
enlightening. You do not fool yourself when
you dream; or, if you do, you do it in such a
way that pSychiatrist can easily see through
the deception. Consequently, the authors of
this book remark. "by understanding our
dreams there is a really practical way of learn
ing to avoid the same old mistakes and of TAX
ing courage to meet the future more pro-
gressively."
How are dreams to be interpreted then?

An AIIurins
Moonyeen

The exquisite simplicity of so
beautiful love story as "Smilin'
Thru" must be told with deep and
sincere understanding lest one
small bit of overacting spoil the
illusion.
There is no false step in
M. G. MS production of this
romantic tragedy of Moonyeen, a
role of dual personalities which
gives Norma Shearer moments of
GREATNESS beauty and freshness.
Old Love Story
You will remember the story
of the lovely Moonyeen Clare, MUIR
dered on her wedding day by a
jealous, drunken childhood sweet
heart; how the bitterness of her
loss entered the heart of her
young husband and turned him
against the world, against all his
friends save one, who was best
man at that fateful wedding. Into
this bitter, secluded household
comes the orphaned niece Of
Moonyeen, a dewy-eyed wisp of q
girl of five whose all-abiding love
warns the cold heart Of her
uncle.
Grown to womanhood, Kath-
leen dares to love the only man
denied her, the son of Jeremy
Wayne, who had murdered Moon
yeen. The hatred which Sir John
had carried through the years for
any member of the Wayne family
almost wrecked the happiness of
these young lovers but the gentle
spirit of Moonyeen, always hover
ing near her John, whispered that
youth and love go hand in hand
and age must not interfere.
Perfect Cast
The cast is perfect with Norma
playing the ethereal Moonyeen
and the vivid, young Kathleen;
Leslie man, a rare piece of screen
portraiture; Frederic March, the
impetuouS Wayne; Ralph Forbes,
the dependable Willie; o. P. Heg.
gle as Owen, lifelong friend of Sir
John.
On the lighter side of the Pal
ace program is the first Of the
Silly Symphonies in technicolor,
a delightful bit of nonsense; a
little known outboard motorboat
course and Metrotone neWsreel.
A grand show! K. Y.

Strong Picture,
Clever Acts
at Earle

It is certainly a big-league line
up down at the Earle this week.
Vaudeville and pictures alike offer
real entertainment, and there isn't
a dull moment from start to fin
iSh.
The picture, "The Night Of
June 49," is a rather extraordinary
exposition of the dangers of &C
cepting circumstantial evidence.
John Curry lives next door to
Trudie Morrow, and occasionally
she gives him a lift to or from
the station in her car. Elna
Curry, inordinately jealous, as a
result of a mental shock, lets her
suspicious prey upon her until she
takes her own life.
A few tricks of fate have placed
the neighbors in position where
they are unable to tell the truth,
the whole truth, etc, without let
ting themselves in for a lot OF
trouble. Hence, through a string
of evasions, half-truths and down
right lies, Curry is in a bad spot.
Trudie, however, learns OF his
trial-she has been away at a
remote mountain camp-and she
is the first of a fine array OF
surprise witnesses that eventually
come flocking to Curry'S aid.
Give Brook, Lila Lee and
Charles Ruggles are the names,
but Charley GrapeWin as an
amusing old scamp and Adrianne
Allen as the unhappy wife win
the glory.
The vaudeville presents the
mad Ritz brothers, in an essay in
amusing insanity, as headliners
An all-new act. except for that
collegiate finish. Venita Gould
imperSonates a number of stage
and screen folk, most of them
very well. Oracle Barrie, charm
ing blues singer, remains for a
third week; Christy and Natero
do acrobatics, and the Mae Wynn
Foursome do a dance act, mainly
taps. Maxine Doyle, the news
reel and Beatrice Claire in a
movie short revealing what can
be done through municipal econ,
omy are also worth seeing and
hearing.

NN-American' Is
Film Tale Of
Football

1.-THE All.American," first Of the
1892 crop of football pictures
which opened at the Rialto
Theater yesterday presents a
group of the gridiron stars who
have made the headlines with
some of the better known Holly
wood actors.
In this particular blend Of fact
and studio fancy it struck me the
experienced actors have the edge
on Albie Booth, Ernie Nevers,
Chris eagle, Frank Carideo and
the others of fleeting eminence
on the sports pages. The high
school boys may like their foot
ball heroes but for me Jimmy
Gleason, Richard Arlen and Andy
Devine made THE All-American"
q picture worth watching.
What THE All-American"
attempts to prove is that the
fame and the stadium hurrah can
mislead the college heroes into
thinking the greatness which
comes with kicking, carrying and
throwing the pigskin will carry
over after coonskin coats and
exciting Saturdays have become
memories.
Richard Arlen Is the football
hero who made the mistake of
thinking he could sell bonds and
become a big business success on
his college reputation. He does
an excellent piece Of acting with
Jimmy Gleason as Knipe, the
college coach pressing him hard
for top honors. Andy Devine sup
plies the comedy and makes a
nifty job Of it.
The All-American" is so con-
cerned with introducing Pop
Warner, Christy Walsh, Marchy
Schwartz and other football
executives and heroes it neglects
to tell its story with any smooth
continuity. 1t is sketchy and
jerky with its incidental romance
pitifully undeveloped. This
makes it difficult for June Clyde,
Gloria Stuart and Merna Kennedy
to be much more than decora-
tive. The shots of football action
will probably prove more than
interesting to pigskin lovers.
A Universal news reel, a John
Hix Strange AS It Seems and
a short film comedy complete the
program.
ANDREW r. KELLEY.
The Washington times., 1932-10-08

Andrew v. Kelley "Of Thee I
Sing" it is never a copy of the
Pulitzer prize play. The funda-
mental idea hammers on the
same theme of buncombe and
craftsmanship, but the movie
trots merrily along an original
path, with some clever thoughts
on the contemporary American
scene that are strictly exclusive.
In the matter of comparison
''The Phantom President" is
more like the earlier Warren
William picture, The Mouth
piece" but. it is such a superior
development of the popular plan
of kidding existing methods of
picking our public officials, the
plurality in favor of the Para
mount entry makes it a runaway
contest.
Oil paintings of George Wash,
ington, Thomas jefferson, Abra-
ham Lincoln and Theodore Roose-
velt suddenly come to life on the
Capitol walls and chant a lyric
to the effect that THE Country
Needs a Man" to sound the
motif for the burlesque-satire
mood.
The whole idea concerns nomi-
mating a dignified-looking nonen-
ity for the White House and
then having a double make his
platform speeches. Cohan plays
both parts. He is Blair, the seri-
ous-mannered statesmen with a
ribbon string on his glasses; by
some of the best double exposure
yet submitted by the studio
craftsmen he is also Varney, a
fake medicine man, glib OF
tongue. nimble of foot, resource
full as Barnum when it comes
to making money.
They have the mountebank run
for President of the United States.
Jimmy Durante is his major-domo.
Between them they make this pic
ture a happy venture for the
laugh-seeker. Claudette Colbert
manages to inject a little thread
of romance into the action, but it
is a side issue that never intrudeS
enough to be annoying.
Cohan is easily the star Of the
picture. He talks from the side Of
his mouth, holds his head to one
side, hoofS in manner reminiscent
of the Little Johnny Jones days,
blacks up to put over one Of the
incidental tunes. and, of course,
handles his witty dialogue in nasal
tWang with the fineSSe of a good
actor. Jimmy Durante is close on
his heels. But he has so many
mannerisms I doubt whether the
Hot Cha" boy can ever achieve a
long career in Hollywood. I get a
little tired of him, just as Ed
Wynn begins to pail about 11:15
p. m.
George Barber, Louise MacIn,
tosh, and Sidney Toler play the
other important roles we'll.
A Lowell Thomas short on sal,
mon fishing has its moments of
interest, Roger Wolf Kahn has a
cameo orchestral concert, and the
Paramount News Reel completes
the program.

He grabbed his hat and left
the apartment. AS soon as the
door closed, his wife began to
cry.
"He says I'm nagging him."
she walled. He says that to me
when I've worked my fingers
to the bone for him for seven
years. Ooooohhh."
An hour later Mr.. Revere was
on the phone. He was as hum
BILE as a Pullman porter after a
dollar tip.
Listen, mamma" he said,
''I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
say what I did. Honestly I
didn't. I've been thinking it
over and I can't work. I'm a
brute, that's what I am. Please
forgive me. mamma.
whats that? You'll forgive
me if I don't call you mamma.
All right. I won't do it any
more-and I can tell you that
I feel much better. I don't
know what got into me.
Tell you what we'll do to-
night just to make up. Well
have dinner at Moore's and I'll
get tickets for a show. Meet
you in front of the restaurant
at 1880. Okay? That's fine,
mamma.
whats that? What did you
say? Well, suppose I did call
you mamma? What of it?
Hello. Hello. Hello. Oh, nuts!"
Mrs. Revere was waiting for
her husband that night in
front of the restaurant. She
had been there but three min
utes, and already her foot was
tapping.
well she opened up, what
happened? Did your stenog-
rapher keep you this late?
