Hemingway not only said that

his satisfaction and pleasure in
the manner in which the bullfight
was handled.
They've made a clean job Of

Lively Press Agents

It was clear and cold and peace
full around the stately Imperial
Russian Embassy on Sixteenth
Street about 7 last night. From
out of the night came an automo-
bile; out jumped a quartet of
quiet but alert figures. Soon over
the portals of the embassy was
draped a sign: "Rasput1n Closed
This Embassy, But You Can See
Him Now in 'Rasputin and the
Empress at Loew's Columbia
Theater."
In less time than it takes to tell
it, news photographers gathered
and snapped the commercial ban
ner for rotogravure poSterity. A
sleepy caretaker finally sensed
that something was happening,
opened the door, took one look
and then pulled the advertising
impertinence down.
Since Uncle Sam does not recog-
nize Stain and the five-year plan.
probably nothing will be done
about it. The embassy has been
closed since the Kerensky regime,
awaiting the day when your old
Uncle salutes the Communists.
After all, Russia has no COM
plant. That is, Uncle Sam has
better right to be peeved over
theatrical enterprise. For it was

ingly tossed light beams on the

Sinclair Lewis

Part of my weekend leisure
a considerable part since it re-
quired scanning some 562 pages
was spent with Sinclair Lewis
latest fiction, Ann Vickers," Loom
ing as a monumental best seller
that will inevitably attract Hol-
lywood and perhaps the venture
some Broadway producer. I pom
dered between chapters on its en-
tertainment possibilities.
Ann Vickers" is the story of
a woman who stifled a funda-
mental emotion to be both wife
and mother in order that she
might follow career. Approach
ing 40, she comes to a realization
that her success as social
worker, suffragist, expert in
penology and feminist leader has
left a void that only romance
can fill. So, she plunges precipi-
lately into a marriage which was
a mistake, displays a certain cour
age in defying convention to find
happiness and chalks up the
career goal as something incom-
plete for contentment when
achieved.
The movies will have to change
Ann VickerS to make Mr.. Sin
clair Lewis latest heroine ap-
pealing. Interesting she is, but
a superior mortal who is inclined
to be intolerant and just little
bit frightening to the average in
tellect. Neither does she grow
much in stature in becoming a
social rebel and Haunting many
of the ideals for which she per,
Sistently fought in her settlement
adventures. Hollywood will have
to soften the character.
"Ann Vickers" must be por-
trayed on the screen by an &C.
tress who reflects intelligence
and less than striking beauty.
That will limit the choice for the
lead. Lynn Fontanne could do
it. Ann Harding has too much
blonde allure, Norma Shearer a
frail delicacy that would hardly
fit, Helen Hayes is too small,
Irene Dunno too soft looking. My
favored candidates for Ann
VickerS" on the screen would be
Katherine Hepburn. Aline Mac
Mahon or Minna Gombell. If
you raise your eyebrows a little
at Minna Gombell, don't forget
she is a fine actress. 1t is one
of the Fox follies that the Com
bell art is invariably assigned to
comedy roles. She deserves bet
ter. Much better

to give you an idea of what I
mean, I had to declare my
money on my entrance to
Czechoslovakia. When I arrived
in Prague, my luggage r2-uired
examination.
Upon leaving Prague. the bag
gage was subjected to another
examination. Before yoU get to
the Austrian border, you have
your money inspected once
more by the Czech authorities
and your baggage is gone
over to make certain you are
not taking any Czech money
out. If you pass that test
successfully, you are not
bothered for about is minutes
when the Austrian authorities
board the train.
You then go through the
entire thing all over again
money, baggage and everything
you own. And all this, of course,
has nothing to do with the
inspection and stamping: of
your passport, which is an
entirely different department.
And when you stop to con-
slider that, if one tiny thing
goes wrong, you are hustled
from the train and booked on
suspicion in a tiny border
town, you can just about
imagin. how lovely the entire
thing is.
BY some miracle or other.

D Whenever I get near the end

Memories Of Prague
I think I'll finish up by a few
more memories of Prague. 1
had a swell time there, really;
much better than my copy
would perhaps lead you to be-
lieve. That guide of mine was
such a grand character that I
hated to leave him. And I do
hope I'll meet him again some
day.
The little things that he
pointed out, for example, will
always remain in my memory.
He knew what I wanted. And
when he showed me the house
in which Casanova, the great
lover, once lived, he was more
than repaid by the kick I re-
ceived. For in the shop that
occupies the premises today,
they now sell nothing but
hams!
And last but not least, the
Czechoslovakian shoes. Mr..
Kwayssar raved about them.
They were as light as a feather.
They cost but three dollars a
pair in our money. They
would outlast any American or
English shoe that was ever
made. He wasn't trying to sell
me anything-but if 1 didn't
take a few pairs with me, 1
was crazy.
I didn't want him to think
me crazy, so I bought me
pair Of black shoes and a pair
of tan ones yesterday after

them on this morning, I

feet. So I gave. them to lIr.

Method

But when my director and
my camera man have gone on
ahead and I am alone, as am
now, the situation is very diff
ferent. I can no longer bark
like a doggie without running
the risk of being dragged from
the train to some local hos
pital. So, if I'm lucky, I get
my seat next to the window,
place my typewriter on the
table-and pray that the train
will not be too overcrowded.
On this trip, my prayers
have not been answered. In
my compartment there are five
men in addition to myself
and all the five are disgusting
ly health. It's mighty cold out
side-cight below zero when I
left Prague-but the train is
as hot as blazes. Hotter.
Does that make any differ
ence to the five men who are
squeezed together in my COM
partment? It most assuredly
does not. I opened the win
dow a trifle just after we pulled
out of Prague and you should
have heard the excitement my
action caused. I was never in
suited in so many languages at
one time in all my life
So here 1 am, attempting to
pound out column among diff
ficulties that defy description.
The air is unbearable. Two men
are snoring as though each
breath were going to be their
last-and 1 have hopes that it
might be. The table is shaking
so that my machine is liable
to tumble at any second. And
every time I finish line of

sleeping glare at me in undis-
