THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES &. TRACEWELL.

There is here no particular question OF
formality or informality; the most for
NAL garden may show little clipping.
whereas the most informal plan may
reveal an indiscrimirate use of the
shears. the saw and the knife.
This latter Is what some OF us call
surgical gardening.
1t satisfied O certain nature, but 1t
does not please those who prefer the
other type.
Most of the lack of "neatness" which
the advocates of bigger and better prun-
| ing deplore Is rather question OF lazi-
lRess than anything else.
And here is how and why:
Some of the untidiness which resides
in such a garden Is due to lack OF TRIM
ming with the grass shears, q plain bit
OF garden laziness.
| It will BE- discovered, in many cases,
that it Is not the large mass of shrub
berry which Is decried as much as the
untidy grass line commonly left be-
meath it.
The larger the mass of shruhbsry. the
more essential it becomes to keep all
grass growing beneath or near them
properly trimmed at all times.
X
Every Ullc WIN uOOo SoAdVh WbiA
knows how it Is.
An average-sized lawn Is not the
easiest task In the world; by the time
the thing is done the operator of the
mower is tired Of his task.
| He Is willing to let the trimming job
go over.
In day or two, he tells himself he
will trim around the edges and the
| borders.
There will be plenty Of time for that!
Days go by, however. and the entire
lawn is ready for cutting before he
gets round to it."
The net result. in all too many gar
den. Is that the edging and trimming
never get done at all, CT at best at long
| intervals.
And In some cases nobody ever thinks
to trim under the shrubbery until the
| grass grows so high that mosquitoes be-
| gin to collect there.
1t will be found. IN practically all
such cases. that thorough shipping be-
meath and around all shrubbery. as q
| constant practice, will prevent almost
any shrubbery from looking wild. The
wildneSS Is at the bottom. not at the top.
1t Is this untidineSs. and not that of
the shrubs themselves, which permits
structures to be cast upon the theory.
and the practice tor rather non-prac-
tice), of leSSened shrub pruning.

What Is more beautiful, indeed, than
fine massed planting Of shrubs?
This is their greatest time of beauty,
when their white. pink and yellow fiow-
ers, upon various species. fill the small
est yards with glory of bloom
Most home owners have learned that
If YOU want these flowers you must not
trim the bushes until after the
blooming
Many still have to realize. evidently,
that ii you want them to perfection.
year after year, you must 60 slowly with
the pruning shears at any time.
Usually shrub requires at least a
full year to get over severe pruning,
and this period normally includes one
full blooming season.
Let shrubs grow! Suppose they do
tend to become bit too large, what
of 1t? The lines Of Nature are boauty's
own lines, far surprising the attempts
of man. Man can make q better pair
of pruning shears, but not q better
shrub.
Evening star., 1933-05-22

Not in years has shrubbery grown so
luxuriantly as this Spring, with its con-
tinued copious rainfall.
The lesson 1t teaches the prim gar
densr Is that Nature knows nothing OF
neatnesS.
She has something better.
She has healthy growth.
The desire to trim Nature out Ct the
cultivated garden is an easy one to ac-
Quire and II one ever gets this longing
he seldom gets rid Of 1t.
Every time he sees a shrub of any sort
he wants to bring on the pruning
shears
The better way Is to let bushes or xfi
! sorts grow as they please.
This attitude is instructive with some
home gardeners, with others it is a
/ growth.
The eyes see. the mind apprehends,
until at last the truth is bored in, that
even In cultivated plot Mother Ma
ture knows best.
Leave her to herself. and she will re-
ward the gardener with her greatest
treasures.
Attempt a fuSsy care, she will penal
iZe him for long time with ugly re-
suits. in her attempt to get back to her
own plans. her own ideas of beauty, her
own lines.
| 1t is noticeable that the longer one
works with fioy.er and other factors in
what might be called exterior decora-
ton" the more he becomes inclined to
permit things to take care OF them
selves. as far as possible.
He grows. too, as we'll as his garden.
! Only the other day We We're reading
an article by one Of the country'S lead
ing rose experts, man who has worked
all his life With the queen Of flowers.
His verdict. after long experience. is
that there is entirely too much pruning
Let them alone!" he says. i'll effect.
He says nothing, of course, against
! needed and proper pruning. but he be-
lieves that great deal more OF 1t Is
| done than Is necessary.
\ + \
Especially, one may believe. Is there
too much trimming of the various orna-
mental shrubs, which constitute the
backbone of many home garden.
These fine old things. many Of them
now In flower, or just finished bloom
ing, evidently were intended, in the
general plan Of creation. to make a slow,
steady growth toward an undetermined
end
In this they greatly resemble man
kind itself.
As far as some of us can make out.
there was no intention, OIL the part Of
Nature, of pruning them except by her
self. by disease. frost and the like, in
eluding accidents.
Their habits Of growth mostly bear
cut this contention.
y \
The true beauty OF almost any shrub
is realized only when 1t is permitted to
grow unchecked.
Then the S1aying masses Of leaves
and boughS have sn opportunity to
demonstrate anew the undoubted abil-
ity of Nature as an artist.
1t is here, OF course, that the mind
of man enters.
To many all eye fiourishing mass
OF shrubs Is not pretty.
Pretty" to them, means prettyied,
or artificial, in the last analysis.
X 4
Such a gardener honestly thinks that
he can improve upon Nature, but the
question remains:
Can he?

SHOOTING STARS.

Unsuspecting Victim.
Young Mrs Flifkins loves to so
To see a temperamental show.
Where, with magnificent display,
A famous "ActoresS" holds sway.
She diligently represents
Grief, Hate and kindred sentiments.
But she Is most impressive when
She hits q tantrum, now and then.
She prances up and down the scene
And is an idol Of the screSn.
Our interest she will soon engage
In awful but artistic rage.
Jack Flifkins has simple heart.
He thinks his wife just dotes ON Art
He never dreams she has in mind
The Art of Quarrels most refined.
She studies temperamental wrath
That cows the man who blocks the patti
OF woman wild, with drops and curves
That indicate a state of nerves.
She notes them all-the latest kinks,
In fierce, but ladylike high jinks.
And then. Alasl-likewiss Alack!-
She tries them out on poor old Jack.

STATE

Warmers State is presenting an exceptionally fine double feature program today and tomorrow headed by Richard Dix in Ace of Aces. Dix is superb in the role of the redoubtable war ace. He sincerely and intensely detests war, whose murderous activity appalls him. His refusal to enlist earns a broken engagement from his fan cee Nancy. This embitters him and he enters the war.
 The grim struggle to survive transforms the erstwhile pacifist into a veritable bird of prey. On furlough the ace goes to Paris. Here he encounters Nancy, now a war nurse. She is stunned by the startling change war has wrought in Rex's character. Grimness has replaced his gayety, cruelty, his compassion. Responsible for his plight, Nancy makes atonement by offering herself to him.
 The star receives splendid SUD- port from Elizabeth Allan, who is excellent in part entirely different from the sterotyped feminine lead; Ralph Bellamy, Joseph Sauers and Frank Conroy, who play convinc- ingly as flight leaders; and Helmuth Gorin, who scores as dying enemy flyer. Bill Cagney, Jimmy's young CT brother, appears briefly but to good advantage, as do Howard Wilson, Anderson Lawler, Art Jar rett, Claude Gillingwater, Jr., Georeg Lollier and the Stroud twins
 The companion feature presents beautiful Ann Harding in "The Right to Romance. Not since '"The Animal Kingdom" has she had such a perfect role. It is the story of a woman doctor who kicks over the traces and goes out in search of romance. The romance she finds, the marriage that is hers and her decision when called upon to save the life and beauty of the woman who stole her husband gives the story impetus that leads up to a rousing finale. Miss Harding, su- perb as always, is given capable support by Robert Young, Nils As ther, Sari Maritza and Irving Pi- chel. Wednesday brings another banner double feature program in- cluding Ruth Chatterton and George Brent in Female" and Chester Morris with great all- star cast in "King For Night. '"

PALACE

The Four Marx Brothers in the greatest laugh hit of the season Duck Soup" was served to capa- city houses at all performances yesterday. so if you were not one of the thousands to witness this great comedy, plan to get in early to-day for a real treat is in store.
 Starting Wednesday another great double feature bill will be offered at this popular playhouse, the house of stars, Meet the Baron" starring Jack Pearl and Jimmy Durante in hilarious mix ture of comedy, Hitting musical numbers. This new picture boasts the most remarkable all-star com- edian cast ever assembled. Pearl, internationally famous, Jimmy Du- rante, of What! No Beer?" and other hits of the screen, Zasu Pitts famous comedienne, Ted Healy and his stooges Edna May Oliver of Ladies of the Jury" fame, Ben Bard, Henry Kolker and William B. Davidson have featured roles.
 The second feature 'The Worst Women in Paris" with beautiful Benita Hume and amorous Adolph Menjou in the featured roles.
 The story is one that parallels the gayety and sophistication of the French capital, with the quiet and native charm of small town in Kansas. It transports one of the most dashing figures of Paris to the more matter r-of-fact. more gen. uine middle west. It is shift in locale that is not only geographic but also one that reveals rare diff ferences in ideas of romance.
 As the young sady who is known as "The Worst Woman in Paris. Benita Hume contributes a per- formance that you will long re- member as one of the finest you have ever seen.

GARDEN

l Janet Gaynor has never shown her talents to better advantage than in her newest starring vehicle Paddy, The Next Best Thing" in which she is co-starred with War ner Baxter at the New Garden theater showing for the last times to-day. Cast as lively little Irish lass whose sole fault is her ability to tell white lies, quality that eventually embroils her in all sorts of entanglements, she performs in her usual charming manner. War ner Baxter, as the scion of the Irish coastal town in which Pad day." takes place, dies an excel- lent piece of acting in a-typically romantic Warner Baxter role.
 The companion picture is Blind Adventure" with Robert Armstrong Helen Mack and Roland Young. An all-star cast in an all-thrill drama packed with laughs and warmed with romance.
 Also on the bill is new chap ter of Fighting With Kit Carson.
