E de S. MELCHER
Beauty and the Boss" Shown
On Metropolitan Screen.

THEATERGOERS who witnessed
l. the opening performance of the
National Theater Players in The
Church Mouse" have an opportu-
nifty to see the same play as mo-
ton picture, in the current attrac-
ton at the Metropolitan. where it is
presented under the title Beauty
and the Boss" There is no varia-
ton in the script, which represents
, the transformation Of young
woman from an awkward but busl-
nesslike and efficient typ1st and Sec
retary TO a most attractive social IA
vorite. Its strongest interest is in
the clearly defined and distinctive
characteristics Of the leading roles,
which make possible the develop
ment Of an unusual plot.
In these two roles are Marian
Marsh and Warren williams, both OF
whom are actors Of ability. carrying
the story with most satisfactory re-
suits. Both are represented as re-
spending to impulses which intro
duce sincerity into shallow environ
ment. The result is type OF ro-
nance which is calculated TO stir the
interest of the average audience. In
addition TO these CHIEF characters
and their varying experiences in the
midst Of an international business
deal and the night life of Paris,
there are other participants who
are made to fill in the lighter mo-
ments with good stage entertain
ment. There characters have hu-
man quality through the work Of
David Manners, Charles Butter
worth, Frederick Kerr, Mary Dolan,
Lillian Bond. Polly Walters, Robert
Grief, Yola D'Avril and Barbara
Leonard Scenes which offer a diff
ferent quality from the stage pres
entation are chiefly in connection
with the airplane trip from one
capital to another.
Shorter films which are in the
program at the Metropolitan are
drama dealing with the solution of
a murder mystery and a picture In
colors devoted to the singing of old
songs which were favorites of a
quarter century ago. with orchestral
accompaniment on the screen.

Might Court"
At the Columbia.

THE strartled, staring, vide-eyed
picture of Anita Page which
confronts patrons as they enter the
lobby of the Columbia Theater Is
mild, yet positive, indication of the
misery they will come upon during
the unfolding of Night Court" A
stern sermon on the falibility OF
some Of our superior courts, it is a
bitter and ironic story, told. however,
with such suavfty as makes 1t seem
more plausible than not.
Present in its cast Is one Phillips
Holmes, a young actor who has
heretofore been suffering from the
lone expression" complex. Trans
planted from other cinema lots and
now under the wing of Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer, he suddenly be-
comes a likable and sincere per-
former whose talents are all on the
up-and-up. AS the smiling young
taxi driver whose life Is midway
divided between car and a loving
family "a wife and baby. he Is
first pictured as an engaging young
worker of -the-world, and subse-
quently is transformed into a tor
tured being and torn from his
family as a result of one Of the
most miserable tricks ever conceived
by men.
The main situation-that in which
the young wife is sent away to a
reform school after being trapped
in a room with strange mans
an unpleasant chronicle which be-
comes more unpleasant as the events
proceed. While it is brutal in the
delineation of certain night courts
and magisterial injustices, it has
been acted with such expertness by
the cast that the shabbiness OF Its
thems Is not hard to overlook.
It is, however, easy to shudder
as certain very low" fellows take
Mr.. Holmes aside and give him
beating. Tear provoking, too, is the
scene in which the baby is wrenched
from its mother home. Nerve
racking, too, Is the scene in which
Walter Huston breaks down before
the Judge and admits that he has
been crooked in his dealings. All
brutal pleasures-and yet accom-
plished magnihcently by such play
ers, other than Holmes and Huston,
as Lewis Stone. John MILAN, Jean
Hersholt and Tully Marshall. And
so worth seeing-if you like to be
reduced to pulp.

But her eyes were all for the tall splen- dor of the blooms in the stand pulled close to Ellen's chair. They're four feet long if they're an inch," she murmured happily, slipping into her place at the head of the table.
 "Mother, if you say that again." Ellen said grossly, "I'li scream" "I'll join you in the screaming" 1" Myra offered amiably. But she added with a curious look at her sister, "Aren't you pleased honey?" "Of course I'm pleased" snapped Ellen. What am supposed to do dance a jig?"
 "Ellen's got a fellowl Ellen's got a fellow!" chanted Mike, catching belatedly the excitement of his eld- CTS.
 "Be still, Mike," said his mother absently. Don't tease your sister" She and Myra exchanged a long, significant look. Ellen caught the look. It occurred to her a little for lornly that the only person in the Rossiter household not delighted with Steven Barclays generosity was the recipient of 1t.

Lost Ugly Fat
Her Husband Says She Looks
 Five Years Younger!

There is certain weight at which every woman looks her loveliest-not skinny underweight nor pendulous overweight, but nor- mai weight. We find artists, doc- tors, theatrical producers (and hus- bands!) all agree upon this point. My husband says look five years younger" writes this lady of 29 who--thanks to her daily dose of Kruschen Salts-has unburdened her body of IS pounds of ugly fat. Read her letter:--
 "Having heard from . friend of mine that she lost considerable weight since taking Kruschen Salts, waen I weighed 17y lbs. have lost weight steadily since then, and am now 15D lbss--my normal weight. Moreover, | feel brighter and more energetic in every way.

 A bottle of Kruschen Salts that will last four weeks costs but a triie-take as directed every morn ing. When the jar is empty get on the scales and see how many pounds you have lost. Attention to diet will help-cut down on pastry toes, butter. cream and sugar
 But remember this: to take off of fat harmlessly and SAFELY be sure for your health's sake that you ask for and get Kruschen Salts. Get any drugstore In tho world and if the results one bottle brings do not delight you--do not 5oyfuliy satisfy you-why money back.

I was to wake you up."
 What came?"
 "A great big long box with lots of green ribbons
 Flowers! From Larry? Ellen was out of bed in a flash and into the living room. Myra and Molly were both at the table examining a giant florist box.
 "It's from McCielland'sw Myra called out excitedly. Mother and thought you'd never get up. Did Mike wake you?"
 Ellen's fingers trembled with the novel delight of tearing away green ribbons and massed layers of satiny paper. Roses, wet and darkly red dozens of them!
 How many are there?" Molly incoherently demanded.
 Millions, 1t looks like. can't count them. Oh, the beauties!"
 She wrenched the card free and tore open the envelope. The ink had blurred with dampness but the writing was perfectly distinguish able. The writing was not Larry's.
 "To the success of your new ven- ture. s. B." read the message.
 Ellen was ready to cry in her dis- appointment. She had been 90 sure! Myra and Molly were far too pleased and ffuttered to notice any thing amiss. Flowers and beaux in the Rossiter household were rare enough to cause any amount of ex- citement.
 T told you, I told you." Molly was insisting. "They're from Mir Barclay, aren't they?"
 "Yes," said Ellen.
 The girl read the message a sec- ond time in an effort to recap. ture some of her original delight al receiving such q splendid gift and failed. The card fiuttered from her fingers.

Usually nobody in the world no- tices a facial defect as much as the woman who has one. To no one else does 1t make so much difference.
 have a letter from a mother telling me that her young girls nose is tremendously long and ask ing if there is anything she can do to help matters.
 Yes. By all means there Is something you can do! Don't make tho child nose-conscious! In the first place, when the girl is grown, her whole face may have caught up with her nose and its size may be just right. If you have talked and talked about the nose all her adolescent years, even If her nose turned out the loveliest one in all America, she would never know It. She probably would go through life self-conscious about it.
 In the second place, what if her nose is too long and too big, in your opinion. There are no standards of beauty. Beauty doesn't depend on any single feature. Women who possess no single fea- ture to boast of can become known as beauties, so great is the artistry of makeup, of general grooming, of clothing oneself becomingly.
 I know a Continental woman who has atrocious features, eyes that are too far apart and just Q litle bit wall-eyed, to boot, and her neck Is tremendously long. Yet she plays up to her unusual. ness, wears chic things that em. phasize her long neck, wears her hair back from her face and holds herself so proudly that you wonder why anyone ever thought perfec. tion of facial features the least bi' interesting, stacked up against this woman's fascination.
 If your facial defects are tn, kind that you can have remedied by all means do so. But don't le them defeat you. Set Q new stand ard of attractiveness! Do the yer, best you can by yourself and thel proceed to be so interested in If, and SO interesting that no one car overlook you. You can turn mos defects into assets, if you go abou, 1t right.

Without giving Sue an oppor. tunity to answer her question
 Grace went on talking, giving hel | own answer. T grew up across the street from Jimmy. I was al. ways there. I comforted him wher he couldn't get what he wanted I helped him when he needed help And after Q while he decided thai I was necessary to him. He loved | me because he needed me Now he is able to go alone. He's arriving. And I'm an old story Not even an interesting story. He has more self confidence now. He isn't afraid to risk his wings. And there are places he didn't fly be. fore. He has to see them now Maybe he loves me yet. think he does. But he is bored with me. So I'm going away"
 Sue knew that she should have told Grace that that was the worst thing she could do. She should have explained that such an action would leave the field open to the enemy. But some how she could not. If 1t had been Jack-but 1t never could be.--she~ couldn't have cheapened the happiness they had known by letting 1t grow shoddy like this. She would have want ed to go away. too. knowing that when Jack had fought his battle he would send for her. And if he didn't, 1t would be better to have a new circle of interests. "I think you should go away. Grace" Sue said. Where will you go?"
 T have a little money. Some friends of mine live in New York. I'll visit them. They are girls who have a studio in Greenwich vii- lage. If I get a job I'll stay Q while. I wish you could come down while I'm there."
 It seemed to Sue that q voice from somewhere announced sud- denly that she would go down while Grace was there. It was foolishness. she knew. Of course she wouldn't. But she couldn't get away from it. A long time later she remembered that strange sen- sation.

 Ellen forgot how important the meeting with Barclay had seemed before the other meeting at Dream land. She forgot that there had been nothing pailid about Steven Barclays image in her mind until she had looked into Larry Harrow gates shining, admiring eyes.
 Not until Barclay and the drive through the park had been pretty thoroughly gone into was she ale lowed to escape to bed. One thing Molly's tireless cross- examination had failed to elicit-the story of the meeting with L :ry Harrow gate.
 Ellen woke in the morning to hear subdued giggles. Some. thing furry brushed across her nose and she opened her eyes quickly. Mikes kitten. Buzz, scampered to the edge of the bed and hopped to the floor. Mike himself, seated cross-legged at the foot of the bed and wearing a suit of shrunken pa- jamas, was responsible for the gig gles.
 As the girl stretched her arms over her head she felt that the world was very fair. She laughed joyously with her young brother and as she laughed all thought of sleep vanished. The early morning air was sweet and cool, promising Q radiant day. This was the begin ming of the day that was to mark her first engagement with Larry Harrowgate. Her mind was busy with delightful planning.
 What would she wear? She could carry the pink afternoon dress, Q legacy from Aunt Myra. and change at noon when her duties at the store ended. Or would 1t be better to appear in the same costume she wore at work? Absorbed in those delightful possibilities, she leaned forward, pulled Mike into her arms and tousled his hair until he squealed with delight.

We must never forget this ing to their parents or teachers their own minds. They do things are wrong, much to their astonish- ment and perplexity.
 A friend of mine and myself were discussing destructiveness a day or so ago and she gave me a ter.
 My parents bought a new set of furniture," she said, "when ] was about four or five years old.
 T had good reason to remember which 1t stood, with hatred all the rest of my life."
 we had an outside building that was used for a laundry. The 'wash-house' 1t was called. And except on laundry days we chil- dren used to play in 1t. The walls had been painted but 1t was in a state of delapidation and we used the good places on the wall for Q blackboard.
 We used chalk, but it didn't show very well so the bright-mind- ed teacher found that a nail with sharp point did nicely. When one bit of space was used up, we travelled on to another as the Mad Halter did at Alice's tea party.
 A Fine Writing Pad!

Il wasn't wrong to do 1t, surely. had scratched "A B C's" on beau- tiful places on the laundry wall and my mother had come out and smiled and often even sat down to watch me. I was too little to know the value of things.
 Something went wrong in my young heart then that I never got over. For weeks I wouldn't look at my father and when they tried to make me eat at the table with him I had such mysteries they fin- ally had to give 1t up.

1 that if she used cosmetics only to accent her features, and applied them correctly, she could look fresh and glowing and natural. | First, told her, the proper ! shade of rouge and lipstick must be determined by her coloring and not chosen because it is the shade some friend uses. A warm skinned brunette, like Sally, needs a red geranium shade of lipstick and cream rouge. Her powder should be Q darker one than rachel-the rich mauresque shade is subtle and fattering. I took these shades out and after Sally had cleansed her face, she reached for the rouge. Not so fast!" shook my head reprovingly and handed her instead Q semi-liquid cream of lilies pow der foundation. When she had pat ted this on so that 1t made a smooth foundation, l let her apply the rouge and powder.
