Careless Lady
At Fox Imperial

Careless Lady" a fast moving
and delightfully."- intriguing play
based on the story by Reita Lam
bert, is the attraction at Fox I'M
perial theatre for tonight only
with Joan Bennett and John Boles
in he leading role.
Miss Bennett is seen as the neg
lected girl in a small town who
rcsents the fact that the boys pay
her no attention. Deciding to go
TO New York, a mistake in a night
club gives her a coat with
wealthy mans name in it and she
assumes the name on a trip to
Paris, posing as his wife.
Later when the man arrives in
Paris complications result which
cause the lady to flee back to her
home town. The MN follows un-
known to her and after more
complications succeeds in getting
the girl to keep his name.
John Boles. in the role of the
man, has several opportunities to
sing and those who have heard
him in previous successes know
what a treat is in store for them.
The eXtrayagant wardrobe dis
played by Miss Bennett is certain
to prove popular with women
patrons.
An exceptionally capable cast is
seen in support of the two stars.
Careless Lady is light and IL
resistable with a dialogue that does
much to bring about a finished
production.

Miss GTif6th. whose industrial photographs
at the Sears, Roebuck Gallery were favorably
commented upon in these columns last week,
has been spending some time photographing
the Constitution in the same way that she has
photographed great building enterprises, from
the standpoint Of what Joseph Pennen once
called ''the wonder Of work" She has photo
graphed this ship and the men aboard With the
purpose Of showing life on vessel Of this sort
and, incidentally, its beauty and nobility. and
she has produced photographs Of surprising
artistic merit-works which have transformed
common things into things Of lovefness With
an artistic instinct she has composed her pic
lures, both in line and in light and shade, ac-
cording to the rules which master painters have
invariably followed, and the effects that she
has produced are astounding.
Miss Grin6th began her career as an efficiency
expert, measuring expansion to accord with
utility. figuring out for builders, especially Of
department stores, problems of space and pro-
portions according to the demand for use. It
was in this way that she came in contact with
big building enterprises and that her eyes were

on the biennial exhibition, telling something OF

the way the exhibits were assembled. the jurys
instructions and procedure, and of the attitude
Of the artists. He called attention to the fact
that three Of the four prize pictures had come
in through the open door offered by the jury of
admission to which every artist was free to SUBJ
init work. Also that while, in all probability,
sales would be few this year, from the past IL

number Of big. but simple inventions just
waiting to be made. The principle IN every
case Il that Of the saving of time and energy.
Our lives are filled with wasted effort from
morning till night Cut it out by . new and
simple device, and the million dollars Is yours.
I begin with q plain example:
There are on this continent without count
ing the Mexicans and the Eskimos, about nifty
million men and boys who have to hce up their
boots every morning. I am not including
women. Their time doesn't count But say
that each man Or boy uses five minutes each
morning in lacing his boots. That means $50
million minutes Of wasted time. The average
value of human labor today Is one cent
minute. Here then is . loss Of two and
half million dollars day, or twice the cost
Of the American Civil War.
"A That Is needed here IS the invention Of
w boots that go on the feet absolutely
without effort and without loss Of t5u,e-an
other wards, boots that snap on. The principle
Evening star., 1932-12-18

involved Is that Of an ordinary gin or rat-txap.
It will be only necessary to set the foot on the
boot and the boot viii leap up and close On
It with click
But the same idea should be carried much
further and applied to all the clothes that We
wear. Has It ever occurred to you that the
ordinary man puts on every day from to
Is different articles of dress; that he has
upon him SO hooks and buttons 8 to
pulleys and 200 centimeteTs Of laces, ropes and
halliards? He IS like . full-rigged ship. The
total varies q little in Winter and Summer,
and varies . little according to taste: some men
wear garters with wheels and puileys; some
don't; others won't; others can't. But, take It
by and large, the total runs into hundreds
The basic principle Of the new invention lies
in consolidation, In amalgamation, In q general
merger of the clothes. Anybody who has ever
seen the kind Of trousers that farmer veArS
and noticed how snugly they fit under the
arms and how warmly they cover the chest
Vim catch the idea at once. The farmer, In
Evening star., 1932-12-18

short, has amaleamAted his pants with his
waistcoat.
The new consolidation clothes" viii an be
combined in one single piece. opening out f1at
and hung up ON wall. All that Is needed is
to leap out Of bed, unclick the pajamas and
lean up against the suit. This will release q
set of springs that will snap it on.
Think of It! Our breakfast involves whole.
apparatus that has come down to ,B from our
cannibal days Of thousands Of years ago; Knives
daggers, clattering dishes, steam, boiling liquids,
grains, oats, burnt berries-a whole racket and
clatter that goes on for hah an hour. Just
because we need q little nitrogen and peck Of
carbon.
Our ancestors had no better way Of getting
nitrogen than to chaw up . bsshei Of beans:
no way of getting carbon except to kin pig and
get the carbon out Of T. The result b that
our meals still consist Of hacking and shovel
