 "Mrs Brown, I have come to see you about Roger. He and Jay Horner are making my life wretch ed these days"
 CT know" nodded Rogers mother. "I know all about 1t. If you have trouble in school, what do you think Pm having at home? i? What can dor"
 "It's a case of plain jealousy" said Miss Ayres. "Both of them are very smart, both excel in sports, both are born leaders. But neither of them will give in an inch to the other. They have all the boys divided into two camps and I spend my days trying to make peace"
 "Have you been to see Mrs Hor- ner?"
 The Separation Theory "Yes, have just come from there. She couldn't help, either. She is like you. She says it wor- ries her, but she can do nothing" q was thinking that perhaps you wouldn't mind our separating the boys. MT Corey, the principal. suggested it. We could put one of them in the room ahead, Roger for | instance. There is the same grade there. Then they would see less of each other. I believe that if they had different interests they would soon be the best of friends" | Mrs Brown shook her head. | Perhaps, but it won't work. Not only would it give Jay the feeling I that he had been unfairly treated, l but Roger would soon be matching his wits and his muscles against the ringleader in the new room. l And think that to put Jay ahead ! would amount to the same thing" l Sometimes" sighed Miss Ayers, T wish they could have a real | showdown. One of them is bound to win, one always is stronger than the other. Every man meets his master, they say, no matter who he is."
 Some day." nodded Mrs Brown, "they may have a standup knock down fight, and that would settle it I wouldn't mind Roger being l licked, but I should also be proud if he won! I'm with you on that. want it settled.
 But you don't approve of out | side tnterference?"
 No, I don't. Boys are like men. They have to settle affairs of this kind among themselves" 'It is coming spring. They are getting up ball team. One has to be captain There will be more war about that. I suppose another boy will have to be chosen" 'fVery we'll then. That is up to them too. When they find that stubbornness defeats its own ends they may learn that it pays to yield sometimes.
 Leave It to the Boys Roger came in then, "Jay's the captain of our team" he shouted. T got sick of all the fussing so I told them to make him captain. And mind you when did that he just insisted on me being it So we drew lots and he woh.' The two ladies looked at each | other "We've been worrying about you and Jay," his mother said. , 'What! Us! Goodnight, we know what we're doing! Nom, give me some cookies, will you? I'm 1 going over to Jays house now. And we're going to the movies to- night"
 There are times in a boys life, or in girls too, when all we can do is to play audience. Like an- gels we must fear to tread. Roger gave the right answer They have to settle it. If we step in they re- sent it. No one would grow up or develop character if outsiders did all his deciding. One of the hardest lessons mothers have to learn is this very matter of hands off.

looking down at her and he said, 'sWhy-Janeti" in a voice that was not quite steady. It might have been surprise or emotion that gave the words that unnat' ural sound.
 "I Ruess I wasn't looking where I was going the girl said quick ly. Her composure had returned ''How are you, Rolf?"
 "Oh, I'm all right. It was --sort of surprise meeting you ikc this" y
 "Yes, it was"
 "Neither of them spoke for. a moment. Then Rolf said, flushing slightly (Which way are you go- ing?"
 Did he wonder why she hap. pened to be coming from the Brewster Hotel? Janet failed to en- tighten him, It was Saturday afters noon and she was not due back at the office but for some reason she didn't want to tell Rolf that. she didn't want him to think that she had nothing to do with a halfr holiday but go home and stay there now that she was no longer engaged to him. For an instant she considered pretending that she had a date. Then she said, VI have to do some shopping. I'm on my way to Lansings'."
 Lansings' was the towns larg- est department store.
 Going. that way myself Mind if I walk along?" .. 9a
 ''Why, no. Or course not"
 They walked the length of the block. Rolf spoke of the weather which was pleasant and said that spring certainly would be there almost any day now. Janet agreed, adding that some of the shrubs in the park were beginning to show buds. Rolf, with a slight .air of self satisfaction, told her he was handling a new account" It was good one. He went on to mem ton some trivial office gossip.
 Janet's face was an effective mask. .No one would have guessed to look at her that her heart was pounding feverishly, that her hands in their neat back gloves were like ice. The color that had left her face at the surprise en- counter came flooding back and her heart was singing with excite ment.
 But at Rolfs mention of the Atlas Advertising office that sing ing ceased abruptly. Janet spoke before she could check the words.
 ''I understand you have, a new girl in your office. Miss Kendall!"
 "Oh, yes" Rolf's tone, was casual. If Betty Kendalrs name had any special significance for him he did not betray it. She's D. R.'s nieces maybe you knew that. Doesn't know anything about writing ads, of, course, but sup pose she can learn."
 She's very pretty" Janet said. "I saw her picture in the Times"
 Apparently Rolf thought this statement needed no comment. There was something he wanted to say and it did not seem to come easily. They had reached a corner where the only building was set back from the street. There was no one else near. Rolf slowed his step and said. Listen, Janet, I want you to know I'm sorry about the other night. We shouldn't have quarreled that way. I mean I wish we could be friends"
 She looked at him swiftly. The young mans eyes were straight fr,c Do r,ou%iuundN

She was thinking of the becom- ing suit and handsome fox scarf Miss Graham had worn, the dis tinctive way her short, dark hair laid back from her face. What was that Miss Graham had said about the little town in Mex ico-?
 Janet pushed through the hotel door out to the street. She turned and almost walked into someone. A tall man in a gray topcoat. Startled, Janet stepped back. "Oh, excuse me-!' she began with a little mbarrassed laugh and then stopped. Her face drained of color.
 It was Rolf Carlyle. He stood

Sue ran up the broad stairway, her slippers making no sound on the deep carpet. At the top of the stairs she hestitated. She didn't know in which room Jack was. One door was open. She decided to trp it.
 It was the right door. "Jack!"
 Her voice broke and she threw herself down by the side of the bed. weeping hysterically.
 "Sue darling!" His voice was very tender. His arms gathered her close. What's the matter. Sue?" ..--.-..-.-. ...
 She couldn't talk. All she could do was sob against his shoulder, trying to find her voice and not succeeding.
 Judge Thornton's voice inter- rupted. I'm sorry about all of this, Jack. I suggested to your wife that she wait until you were more rested before seeing you but she refused to listen. You can see for yourself that she Is hardly in condition to visit convales- cent"
 Jacks grey eyes grew narrowed and steely. Sue noted that as she lifted her head. His mouth was set and his chin was stubborn. "I called Sue and asked her to come,' he said. ''I can't under stand why she should be refused" s,"As you like, of course !" Judge Thornton shrugged his per- fectly tailored shoulders. For some strange, freakish reason Sue noted the correctness of the English tweed. Jacks suits had been grow ing shabby '. he hadn't had one for a long time .. <. there had not been any money at all A wave of compassion smote her. He had been used to everything he wanted before his marriage. He had made sacrifices made them cheer fully and uncomplainingly, while she had had more luxuries than she had ever imagined as a girl.
 Jack ." She said his name softly. She didn't know what she wanted to tell him. But she want ed him to know that she under stood and sympathized. She raised the fingers of the hand that wore the slim. jewelled wedding ring started to smooth out the worried lines that were knitting his fore- head.
 He smiled, then the smile was gone as he turned to his father.
 I'm no end grateful for all you have done for me, Dad. Don't get me wrong. But I think it would be better, all around if I went home."
 That's nonsense" the older man answered almost harshly. This is your home"
 Thanks Jack said the word dryly. But you're wrong on that score, Dad. It happens to be at the other end of town. I'd be happier--so would Sue-and so would you if went out there. In fact, I'd like it better!"
 You are in no condition to de- eide where you want to go,' his father told him, and his voice was metallic and cold. His eyes were narrowed now, too.
 Well, then I'll let Sue decide for me and know what her decis- sion will be-"
 Sue isn't in a condition to make this decision, either!"
 Judge Thornton turned and left the room.
 Jack spoke quickly. "Call that invalid car again, Sue. I'm nov ing!"

king Of Jazz" Again

Rodney Collier will hop in ahead
of Warner Brothers and try to
satisfy the appetite for musical
movie features by showing the
Paul Whiteman picture, king OF
jazz" beginning Saturday.
It's a reissue of a picture made
several years ago by Universal at
a cost of close to $2,000,O00, has
plenty of fine dance spectacle,
much of it in color; is rich in
tunes that wear we'll, such as
"Song the Dawn; boasts an ar
ray of shapely girls in airy cos
tumings, presents a cast which
includes Paul Whiteman's band,
John Boles, Bing Crosby, the Sis
ters G., jeanette Loft and many
others.
Universal wasted a ton of
money before they finally COM
pleted the picture, which will be
shown Saturday at the Rialto.
Mark Hellinger was among bat
talon of authors who tried to
write a story for the Whiteman
frolic before the eventual decision
a revue was the thing. Mean
while Paul Whiteman was sitting
around with his band getting $40,
600 a week for months.
king of Jazz" was released
about the time the movie market
was glutted with musicals. AS a
result it never realized the money
which Universal eXDected. Today
1t is being reissued at a time
when the demand is strong for
melody celluloid. So Universal is
showing it again, giving it new
and fresh appearance by incor-
porating some of the shots which
were left out when the original
studio product measured up to 81
reels.

Arliss Is Champ

George Arliss continues as F
Street champion. His picture
rushed into the Metropolitan
Theater to stimulate an anaemic
box office crossed more on Tues
day than its predecessor did in
four days. Which gives you an
idea how Met" audiences go for
ArlisS.
Last week his feature, THE
Working Man." gave the Earle
the perfect balance program, i. e.,
Arliss for the adult and carriage
trade. Joan Blondell and the stage
show for the flaps. Result, a
bumper gross. Movie theaters
with a stage show like to get a
balanced program but only once
in awhile are they able to
achieve it.

Andrew X. Kelley mother of the
Hallam boys, in the Rose Franken
comedy drama.
I met her yesterday. CHEEKY and
smiling after busy rehearsal,
hustling up Thirteenth Street for
q bite of lunch. This past win
ter she had a severe accident
fell and Clipped her arm so badly
that it required four operations -
but the doctors fixed her up so
that she could begin her eighth
season on E Street. Each day
the arm gets a little better and
that keeps her optimistic.
Every season I mention the
fact that Mrs. Hibbard was once
Boston's first lady, for she was
and always will be with me. I
covered Boston City Hall when
George Albee Hubbard was mayor
of the Hub, and I know what a
gracious and charming hostess
she was. She carried on bravely
after fate dealt her some hard
knocks and her talent for the
theater was turned to practical
purpose. Everybody who has ever
been associated with her in the
theater recognizes Mrs. Hibbard
as not only a fine actress, but a
lady in the full sense Of the word.
So I abandon all critical tradi-
ton and custom when Mrs. Hib-
bard appears and join in the
applause. It gives me a warm
feeling inside to see q gallant
and happy trouper get the recog-
milton she deserves.

If heredity had anything to

should have been a great lawyer,
since he is descended from a long
line of legal lights, chief among
them being John Marshall, first

However, some other influence
in his blood sent him adventur-

finally into Hollywood and the

Gene Dennis AT
Keith S Fridav

Gene Dennis, girl psychic, is
the daughter of Hutchinson
(Kan) carpenter. She startled
her family at the age of 3 years,
when, in reply to her mothers
idle question, II wonder what
Daddy is doing?" she said: "He
is taking up the boards of the
back porch, and taking out some
bottles" Gene and her mother at
the moment were miles away
from their home visiting relatives.
When they returned to Hutchin-
son, Mrs. Dennis discovered her
infants guess was perfectly true.
In school Gene was the bane of
her teachers existence because
she would answer problems before
they we're even written on the
blackboard. In all other respects
the girl was healthy, vigorous and
happy child. However, with
this remarkable gift, she was
soon the principal celebrity of
her home town and when she
was finally persuaded to appear
at a local theater the entire
town turned out to see her. She
had never been in a theater in
her life before she appeared on
the stage of one.
Miss Dennis appreciates that
her power might be easily mis-
used and she confines the abil-
ity which she herself is unable
to explain to the stages and
theaters at which she is playing.
She is not a mind reader and
does not lay claim to super
natural powers. Gene Dennis
comes to the R-K-O Keith'S The
ater Friday, May 10, as an extra
added stage attraction.
