Rests Standing Up

Many film actresses have been
forced to take their rest standing up
because their gowns wouldn't permit
them to sit, but Evelyn Venable, the
latest to utilize a special, semi
vertical back rest, has been forced
to do so for a new reason. The I'M
usual fabric of the wedding gown
she wears in Paramount's Double
Door, is so delicate that wherever
it becomes wrinkled the sheen is
permanently DESTROYED.

Work on Three
Feature Films

With the first weeks work COM
pleted on I'VE Live Again." the
screen version Of Tolstoy's 'Resur-
rection," starring Fredric March and
Anna Stem, Samuel Goldwyn starts
the most ambitious production
schedule of his career.
Under the direction of Reuben
Mamoulian, Miss Stem and Mr.
March have completed the famous
Easter service scenes in the cathe-
dral and are continuing this week
into the more intimate scenes be-
tween Katusha and Prince Dmitri.
The second of the Goldwyn fea-
lures to go into production is to be
Eddie Cantor's kid Millions" fea-
turing the famous stage, screen and
radio star supported by Ethel Mer-
man, Block and Sully, and a group
of well-known players.
CantOr's antics this time will be
confined to Egypt, where a group of
helrS view with each other in
search for buried treasure.
The third of the group will be
"Barbary Coast" in which Anna
Stem will be seen with Gary Cooper
in a screen adaptation of Herbert
Asbury's book. This is to be started
soon after the completion of 1--WE
Live Again"
These three films to be released
through United Artists represent
more elaborate outlay of time, plan
ming and money than any films
Samuel Goldwyn ever has produced.
Soudeikaine, the great scenic de-
signer, was brought to Hollywood
to do the sets for. I'VE Live Again"
and Jane Baxter, promising young
English actress of the stage and
screen, is already in Hollywood and
at work.

Uses Many PIumes

For the first time since the gay
COS, when milady's hat looked like
the bird cage at the ZOO, feathers
came into lavish use when Cecil
B. De Mile ordered the decorations
for Cleopatra's barge, the biggest
set in his current Paramount pic
ture, cleopatra"
The feathers of 500 pheasants
made up the fans used in one
dance. A solid arch of ostrich
feathers, twenty feet in height and
thirty feet across at the base,
formed the background for Cleo
patras couch. There we're exactly
600 plumes in it.

to give employment to men who work
for them.
About as loans are reported to have
been made in Maryland to date, about
80 In the counties and In Balti-
more City.
In Baltimore the loans range from
$50 to 81 500.
Several factors are believed 10 ex-
plain the small number of loans here.
One Is that banks find the overhead
costs Of making the inquiries neces-
saYy before the desirsbility Of q loan
Is established as prohibitive at the dis
count rate of S per cent q year.
Only two banks in Baltimore have
shown any interest in the business.
One of these has been given a line Of
credit at reduced interest rates by eight
banks that have agreed 10 send sll
their national housing loans to that
bank. This has been done, it is ex-
planned, because the one bank has
been doing this kind of q business and
has an organization to handle It.

REALTORS ADVISED
TO SPUR RECOVERY
Morton J. Luchs Speaks
Before Convention in
Virginia.

The burden Of bringing recovery
back to real estate was placed direct
ly on the men engaged TN the realty
business by Morton J. Luchs, vice
president of Shannon 81 Luchs Co.,
in an address before the convention
Of the Virginia Real Estate Associa-
ton In Richmond yesterday.
He stated that real estate was re-
covering In o great many sections OF
the country and the real estate men
themselves could hasten this recovery
by trying TO analyze It and putting
themelves right In the minds Of the
pubic.
The public has gone through sew
eral years of saving and boarding
their cash, Luchs stated. Every day
more and more people are seriously
considering the investment Of their
money and taking 1t out Of banks
and building associations. The one
question In their minds, the speaker
said. Is the proper place to invest 1t.
Having taken losses in stocks and
bonds, q great many do not want to
put their money back into this kind
of investment, and will look toward
real estate, he said.
Mr.. Luchs stated that some OF the
most prosperous business men have
given the matter consideration for
the past few years and reached the
decision to invest IN real estate, es-
pecially If the country Is going to have
any kind of imitation, real estate will
naturally catch the increase in values,
whereas money invested In bonds,
probably will not, he continued.
Reports are coming In from differ
ent parts Of the country that the
rental situation is better. today than
it has been for the last two years.
and that sales have increased, Mr..
Luchs said
Mr. Luchs stated that in Washing
ton sales are being made for purely
investment purposes because they
show q good return on the money
invested. These properties are not
being sold to the new residents of
Washington. but to people who have
been living here for years. They are
beginning to buy real estate in pref
erence to other forms of investment.

CARPETS IN HISTORY

Carpets have played an important
part in history. They were used
IN the East In very ancient times.
In Egypt they had a religious signifi-
canoe at Hehopolis and an imperial
connotation in the palaces Of the
Pharaohs. The carpets of Homer's era
were white closl1s generally.
Woolen materials first were used
In Western Europe wien Henry Nv Of
France set up q carpet factory, along
Persian lines, about 1889. British
competition with the French began
in 1850, and among the responsible
agents were carpet makers who had
crossed to England as religious ref
usees.

fine farm, even in Iowa. for a
thousand dollars?"
mot exactly buy it. But the
poor farmers have had such a
wretched time that a thousand
dollars will give you an equity
on a splendid place. And the
Farm Credit is so helpful nova
days. Your yearly payments will
amount to practically nothing.
HomeSteading-that'S what you
can do out in the Middle West,
now. Homesteading, in an easy
modern manner"
Phyllis says it isn't respect
able for a man to be as good
looking as Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, Chief of Staff of the
Army. She's going to suggest
to Director Nellie Tayloe Ross,
who runs the U. S. Mint nova
days, to use General Mac
Arthur's profile on the new dol
lar. She thinks it will divert
the public mind from the dol
lars Inconsistency.
Which reminds me Of what
Mrs. Ross herself told me the
other day. There seem to be
various places where money is
made by the mere turn Of a
lever. Not for years and years
have the employees of the mint
or mints had such long hard
hours of work.
With the dollar turned prima
donna on the nation, shrinking
with remorse at a doubtful pro-
nouncement from the White
House, bursting with enthusiasm
over kind presidential word
absolutely unable to live up to
a single, stable standard of gold
or silver morals, the solemn old
mint or mints have been driven
nearly mad trying to keep up
with so much temperament.
Such fickleneSs of content" is
now about to be replaced by a
good steady bargain dollar. A
sort of fire sale-59 cents on
the dollar-dollar!
Maybe this midwinter shop
big farm, complete with house,
ping opportunity will help Mrs.
Ross. Anyhow the former Gov
ernor of Wyoming is thriving on
her extra responsibility. She is
looking better than ever this
year. I like her short hair.
Kind bits contributed to the
Sweetness and Light Column:
Now that most of the debu-
tante activities are over and the
young girls have far less to do,
