OLLYWOOD, Calf. - Smart
people-those Chinese. Don't
let anybody ,. tell ell: you Sa.s other
ing that TO me and I've been
saying that to others for long time
in a kidding way.
Now know it's on the level. After
couple of months in the Orient I
know that all the brains in the world
aren't concentrated in the white race.
I think I've always had hunch
that that was so. I've always wanted
to go to China and Japan and get
acquainted in those countries. 1t was
to have been a honeymoon trip at
first-but time sort of slipped by for
l6 years and my wife and just never
got around to go. Sometimes it was
money we lacked, and sometimes it
was babies or lack of time or just
plain having TO work for living that
interfered
But few months ago I put my
foot down hard and said I was going
to China or else, and I was going to
insist that Mrs. Brown go with me
just to make good on those early
promises. A guy can't be a piker
about his wedding trip forever.
And it was worth going across all
that water Just to see that people on
the other side of the world are not as
different from us as the old MacMil-
Ian biographies painted them. l
couldn't find a single good reason why
the Chinese and japanese can't be
friends with us and with each other.

HOLLYWOOD Anecdote.

HERE'S one of those rare good Hol-
lywood anecdotes:
Some years ago six pals graduated
from Harvard. Five of them imme-
diately made good in the literary and
dramatic world. The sixth. who had
gone in for designing and color, be-
came a window dresser In Boston
department store. His salary was
Sl1 weekly.
The FIVE men got together and de-
cided that their friend was held back
by lack Of finish and by experience
that he couldn't afford. They pooled
their resources and sent him to Eu
rope where he studied drama under
the great Max Reinhardt and per-
fected a novel plan to apply the
psychology of color and sets to the
enhancing Of dramatic action.
One of the fve men was Kenneth
Mcgowan, producer for R-K-O
Radio Pictures.
Recently when Macgowan produced
La Cucaracha" the new Teehni-
color film which is expected to revo-
lutionize the industry because of its
clearneSs and beauty. the sixth man
proved by test TO be the only man in
America capable Of giving Macgowan
the color effects he desired.
The sixth man is Robert Edmond
Jones. who for many years has been
-, fNs. hi
psychology of color and drama, and
who is regarded as the greatest set
{ designer in the world.

of us. OF course they have had 40
or so centuries more to figure things
out. It's a sort of a shock to an
American to discover that wise old
Chinamana regards the whole 800
years Of American history as an Tex
pertinent" interesting but not in ex-
istence long enough yet to prove any
thing.
Nothing is well established. accord
ing to Chinese, until after the first
thousand years. The only trouble
with that theory is that nobody ever
lives to prove it.
I think I met hundreds of Chinese
and Japanese who speak English. I
know a few Americans who speak the
Oriental language but not many I'm
not recommending that every Amerl-
can child be taught to speak Chinese,
but it might not be a bad idea for a
few of them to learn the worlds oldest
language. I wish could, but the
words just won't fit in my mouth.
The younger generation in Asia
have the same advanced views about
most things that We have They know
a lot more about our country than we
know about theirs. And they have
the good taste to be amused rather
than angry when an American pa
rades his ignorance of their customs,
history or religion.
Probably you've guessed by now
that 1 liked the Chinese and Japanese
and you probably know why.
They laugh at my pictures. Why
shouldn't I like 'em?
