lions and tigers perform in the
same cage.
In the picture now showing at
the Rialto Theater he cracks his
whip, fires his revolver, uses a
chair to ward off snarling at
tacks and succeeds in proving
that man is capable of imposing
his will on the most savage OF
enemies.
Not a greal deal of story has
been worked into "The Big
Cage" and it relies mostly upon
the thrills engendered by watch
ing these dangerous performers
occasionally mixing it up and
making the fur fly. Beatty
proves an actor of daring and
courage and confronts a few
moments where he actually risks
his life.
In the supporting cast are
Anita Page. Andy Devine, Vince
Barnett, Wallace Ford, Raymond
Hatton, Reginald Barlow, Wilfred
Lucas and Robert McWade. The
circus scenes are authentic with
the Hagenback-Wallace white tor
cavalcade furnishing the back
grounds.

each other regularly now.
Something to be told, I think,
Is the generous offer made by
Warner Baxter, Will Rogers and
several others on the Fox lot.
When informed of the salary
holiday they offered to devote
one weeks pay to take care Of
the stenographers, secretaries and
office boys who wouldn't be pre-
pared to meet the emergency.
Though the offer is being turned
down, it was fine gesture and
they meant it.
Add humorous note about the
cash shortage. On the day the
bank holiday was declared, Joe
Egli, assistant casting director at
Paramount, received orders from
his doctor to eat six meals a day

the perfume essences are ex-
cised out of the blossoms and
strewn over the planes Of rem
dered fat. The clear fat draws
down the perfume until they
are completely absorbed. Then
the fat is rendered, by delicate
processes, until the perfumes
are captured in the form of a
fabulously expensive altar. A
drop in alcohol, and you have
a perfume. It is for the
penny's worth Of alcohol and
that one drop of altar that you

Moineau learned these things.
They knew in Grasse that he
was learning these things. For
less than that, a stranger will
be visited in his hotel by del
egate from the mayor who will
politely but firmly insist that
said stranger pack his bag at
once. BY all the rules, Moineau
should have been dealt with
harshly. But the French have
sentiment. You cannot, if you
are Frenchman, refuse any
thing to- a man who is a per-
sonal friend of birds.
Amazing Feat.
Before Moineau left Grasse
he invented a perfume. In
Grasse, where a perfume is in
vented by some venerable sage
of scents maybe once in a life.

estimated at its awesome worth.
Moineau left Grasse great

nothing of that negligible
and repugnant sort of thing,
but a new, basic, honest-to-
roses perfume. A committee
of the oldest and most ven-
Grated workmen in the Grasse
distilleries assembled, shifted
Moineau'S vial, and pronounced
it a perfume.
In his Lexington Avenue shop,
however, Moineau has to sell
his own perfume at a price so
close to & loss that it is hardly
worth making. It is made by
an American, here, and it has
no French label and no customs
house seal, and, therefore, it
cannot be any good.
Moineau does not mind. In
fact, if you ask him about his
perfume he will be a little diff
fident and admit with some
hesitation that it exists. He is
a bit conscious of a plight. A
heluva thing for a he-man to
be doing, making a perfume.
He does not like to dwell on
his delicate experiences among
the flowers and birds of Grasse.
What do you want him to do,

He will not relish this

Ladies' Counsel

GdOISS SOUIlSSI
Fluttery ladies impart things
like that to him all day long,
and he mods, and asks a few
cross-questions, and finally
teases out of some unknown
local perfumery shop in a back
street of Copenhagen a new bot
tie Of that scent that was a
birthday present from a return
ing traveller before the war,
simply impossible to find again,
try as you may and bother the
perfumery clerks until they see
you coming, now, and duck be-
hind the counter.
Moineau's peculiar talent as a
perfume detector makes him
prosperous. That. and the cut
rates. So that all the wise and
beautiful ladies in town who
have heard about it flutter into
his store and crowd around
him and fawn on him, and he
is like Parsifal among the
flower maidens in the second
act, or a soda jerker in a fe-
male college town.
And he is not the type which
you would suppose to be some
thing in striped trousers, an
inset waist and a handkerchief
in a sleeve. He is very pro-
nouncedly not that type at all,
but a somewhat beefy fellow
with a pronounced tendency to
talking from the side Of his
face.
He was with the infantry and
he got a lungful of gas at St.
Mihiel. They sent him down to
the Riviera to convaleSce, but
1t was stubborn case, and the
doctors marked him down for
transfer to a high altitude.
They routed him up to the
American lungers' camp at
GraSse.
Secrets Guarded
Grasse is the flower city,
perched in the mountains be-
hind Cannes, where the secrets
of the French perfume indus
try are hidden away. In many
ways, the city is as much a
place of secrets as Thibet, and
the mysteries of the distilla-
ton of flowers are guarded as
watchfully as the Lama's sacred
guard tends the sanctuary of
Buddha on the Mongolien
In Grasse a stranger is
looked upon askance. Is he an
alien, come here to steal our
lore and our prosperity away?
Moineau-though that was
not the name on his identity
tag-was too sick a man at
first to be a threat to Grasse.
For many weeks, he could do
nothing but lie in his cot in
the hospital veranda and
breathe the healing air, which
has legendary healing power,
ascribed, rightly or wrongly, to
its being distilled by altitude
and then tinctured with the
emanations of Grasses fabulous
fields of sweet-Smelling flowers.
Presently. Moineau could shut
fle out of the hospital ward
and into the public square,
where he sat long hours, so
1mmobilized by weakness, that
the town Sparrows learned to
count him a natural fixture, so
that they finally used him as a
perch. He brought crumbs, too,
and this cemented his rela-
tions with tn" birds. The towns
folk remarked on his long and
patient courtship of the SPAR
row clan and gave him his
name.
