disaster and Robert Haas gets what
credit goes for making one of
Hollywood's best thrills. He had
80 men hidden below scenes, about
q score of stagehands, camera
men, technicians and handy men
standing around.
Ruth Chatterton refused to
have a double and played all the
scenes in which she appears. All
the tunbling beams and crashing
structures were blue printed to
collapse and they performed &C
cording to schedule. The only
extra precaution taken was to
have the imitation bricks of soft

Howard as thee objective of ro-

Since this is a literal transfer
of the Broadway play to the mo-
ton picture screen it depends
much on the power and the bril-
lance OF the dialogue to maintain
interest with a burden on a tai
ented cast to make these lines
compensate for lack Of action.
Synthetic Quality
Although Author Barry is the
darling of the Broadway intelli-
gentSia, he has always impressed
me as an overrated dramatiSt. His
plots are hollow and thin and the
motivation of his characters too
often unconvincing. He expects
fine writing to excuse or perhaps
conceal the absence of dramatic
movement, the constant failure
of his characters to be other than
polished counterfeitS.
This synthetic quality is pres
ent in "The Animal Kingdom" j."

I just thought you'd like to

Meet you in the bar at $50.
Righto. So long"
Great? Say, that was life.
Or I thought it was, which
amounts to the same thing.
After the unpacking and a
hurried shave, I hurried to
Fouquet's, which at that time
was the meeting place of all
Paris.
For three hours I sat at a
corner table and watched the
people as they came through
the revolving doors. FaScinat-
ing women. Handsome men.
Strange faces. Beautiful gowns.
Each new character a sepa-
rate thrill. Each new entrant
a different kick.
At 8 o'clock, I raced back
to the hotel. Time to dress

tigate the night life Of one
of the worlds most famous

It was all so swell. It was

much a part of a thrilling life.

the same hour as had on
my previous visit. 1t was early

already blazing. But they
didn't seem to have any

My taxicab glided noiselessly
through the streets. When the
chauffeur h'ew his horn on one
occasion it was no different
from a taxicab in New York.
The bars were crowded-but
they were crowded with people
who seemed strangely Subdued.
1 turned to Ray Cozine, who
was riding with me.
Were in Paris, Ray" said,
"but there's something differ
ent about it. The atmosphere
has changed. l miss the old
cabs and the old horns that
never stopped honking. Every
thing seems different. I don't
understand it. The old kick is
gone"
You're crazy" he offered
excitedly, this is a grand
place. Look at that dame on
the corner. Did you see her
wave as we passed? And look
at those crowds! Oh, boy,
what a town."
The words seemed vaguely
familiar.
When I paid off the cab
driver he accepted the tip with
a gracious nod. Registration,
and up to a suite that is un-
questionably one Of the finest
in the hotel. I carried letters
to Max Blouet, the amiable
manager, and he was more
than anxious to please. I be-
gan to unpack.
The phone rang a short time
later. 1t proved to be a very
beautiful girl. one who had
been in the last ziegfeld Fol-
lies.

B. How are you, darling,
and how have you enjoyed your

see you and to dish the old
dirt. Read in the paper that
you were due here and I've
been calling every day to find
out if it was really true.
Lots to Tell
when do we get together?
I have been here a month, and
what T have to tell you will
knock you right off the old
sofa"
I told Miss B that I
would call her in a day or So.
I really did want to see hex
then, but was afraid that
she might stay too long. And
I felt terribly tired.
Before going to bed I went
with Mr.. Cozine to Fouquet'S.
We sat at the same table at
which I had sat four years be-
fore: the one right near the
door.
Somehow or other the place
had changed. Surely it was the
same spot. It was the same
location. The same doors were
turning. The same amount of
people were drifting in.
Everything the same - and
yet it was all different. The
women weren't beautiful: at
least they didn't appear so to
me. The men were by no
means handsome. saw no
face that looked the least bit
interesting. And the gowns
would never entice a second
look from anyone.
Ray" I asserted, "you stay
here if you want to. I haven't
slept in some time-and I'm
tired. I'm going back to the
hotel, pound out a column that
I've got in mind and go right
to sleep. Do you mind?"
He shook his head.

I'll stick for awhile. This is

New Year Eve

New Year Eve
AS. I bounced through the
streets I'll swear thought it
was New Year Eve. It wasn't.
Of course, but it did seem that
way. Lights were blazing. The
bars were crowded with people
who were drifting in and out.
Each street seemed more excit-
ing than the next. And all the
while those silly horns kept
honking as though it we're an
absolute necessity.
I remember turning to the
gentleman who was with me.
LOU" I cried, isn't this
great? Paris! This is 1928, and
haven't been here in so long
that I've almost forgotten what
it's like. Get a load of this at
mosphere! Look at that bar and
that funny guy with the whis-
kets-and that dame who's
strictly on the make!
"This gets into your blood,
doesn't it? WOW, what a town!
Grab a load of that cute dame
on the corner with that funny
hat. Hey, driver, look where
you're going! Didn't you see it?
He just missed couple back
there by two inches. Whoopee!
What place!"
Then came the arrival at the
hotel in which I am now STOP
ping for the second time. I
handed him a tip, but I re-
mained standing where I was
because I knew that driver was
going to cry for more. And I
wasn't disappointed.
But, monsieur" he walled,

Starve. Give me please another

the nation he represented had proved
its survival powers" He remained
five years, and the success of his career
in Russia had much to do with his
elevation to the eminence which he
achieved in 1924 when he was elected
President.
Dana served In the first Congress
after the adoption of the Constitution
and was chief justice of Massachusetts
from 1871 to 1906.
Generations passed, and then, in
1917, Russia had a revolution not vast

ever, that President Wilson should be
guided by the precedent established by
Catherine. He, too, refused "to dignity
the insurgents by acknowledging their
existence" and Russia, like the United
States, had to demonstrate its survival
powers" before M. Litvinoff could be re-
ceived.
The parallel Is striking. Wilson re-
peated Catherine; M. Litvinoff repeats
Dana and Adams. Apparently, history
must have its little joke now and again.

Department, who was secretary to the
American delegation at London last
Summer.
Bullitt Old Friend.
More than an acquaintance, however,
is William G. Bullitt, also of the State
Department. Bullitt is a friend of long
standing, not only of Litvinof s., but of
many other Russian leaders, and he
has been an advocate of Russian recOg-
milton since 191e-maybe earlier, but he
has been on record that long.
Bulhtt is believed to possess what
Americans would describe as a drag"
with Litvinoff. At London, when Bull
litt was managing former Gov. James
Coxs campaign for the Craftsmanship
OF the Conference Commission on Mon
etary Afairs-and managing it, be it
said, with the skill of a seasoned
worker at an American political con-
vention-he procured Lityinoff's sup
port for his candidate and put him
over. It is beside the point that the
victory was q pyrrhic one. The fact
remains that Bullitt and the Russian
need no interpreter.
1t is common rumor that the two
discussed recognition last Summer, and
that what woodrow Wilson used to call
the bones" of an agreement were
set up.
Russian Meeting Rumored.
Following the London conference,
Bullitt departed for Paris and points
East. and it was then rumored that
he met other Russians at some rem
devious between London and Paris,
where the tentative proposals of London
were amplified and confirmed.
AT any rate, 1t was not long after
Bullitt's return to Washington that re-
newed publicity was given to the ad-
min1stration's purpose to recognize the
Soviet.
1t is altogether probable that the
practical arrangements for the Russian
recognition which Is clearly foreshad-
owed will be left in Bullitt's hands.
Huh Is soon to set out for Montevideo,
Uruguay, where, at the Seventh Pam
American Conference, even more COM
plicated problems will confront him,
and moreover, he Is by no means ardent
In the Russian matter. q
No one in the State Department has
q more practical mind that Bullitt. His
nationalism Is undiluted and he Is ca
pable Of measuring words with the
ablest Of the MuscoviteS For years his
voice has been clamoring for Russian
recognition as that of one crying in the
wilderness. At last, through the fortunes
Of American politics, he Is in a posi-
ton to see it coming and to realize
that he, more than any one else, has
brought It about.
