Hollywood didn't like that. 1t sat
up on its back feet and said very
definitely that the young Czech didn't
know what he was talking about.
That he hadn't been over here long
enough to know his onions. That, in
other words, he'd better keep still.
Unfortunately, or perhaps FORUM
ately, Mr.. Lederer does know his on
ions. He Is a keen observer and
tolerant as well as an intolerant phi
losopher. In spite of his youth he
Is at the head of an international
peace league. In spite of his minor"
education he knows more than the
average college graduate. In spite of
his profession he has a feeling that
medicine and science are head and
shoulders above any of the other arts.
Mr.. Lederer is quite right about
Hollywood. 1t is overpubiciZed and
actors take themselves far too Sc
riously. There is no reason on earth
why a persons profession should give
him the liberty of cultivating bad
manners (e. g., Katharine Hepburn).
There is no reason why being film
actor should close mans mind to the
virtues of other arts. There is no rea-
son why Hollywood should consider
itself closed corporation.
Hollywood can be very great in
fluence for good as, many times, it
has been definite influence for evil
Eve ran into a lady from India re-
Gently who said that one Of the major
problems the people out there have to
face these days in the reorganization
of their marriage laws and the bring
ing up of the young is the appalling
effect many of the films from Holly
wood have on the young people,. And
one of the things Hollywood ought
to understand by now is that the rest
of the world is not going to kow-tow
to its whims forever, and that the
fact that Gloria Gooseberry is going
on her first vacation in six months
isn't vital and impassioned front-page
news.
IF HOLLYWOOD takes itself too
SeriouSly-it is not Hollywood's
fault-but the fault of few jibbering
idiots who spend their days prowling
around the studios and poking their
noses where they have no business to
be poked.
The life of star is a continuous
game of hide and seek with fan maga-
zine writer's and with agents whose
flattering words they hope will lead
them to a pot of gold. Their waking
thoughts must be devoted to what
they will say to So-and-so and their
final evening cry is a cry of relief at
having triumphed over some of the
verbal battles of the day.
These Hollywood satellites and
leeches are a menace to its civiliZa-
ton Even if player is dull as dish
water and can speak only in hesitant
monosyllables, if he can rip out a
wisecrack or say why his ex-marriage
hasn't been successful then he may
be assured Of seeing himself pleasant
ly in print and breaking forth with
a language of which he perhaps knows
little.

Queen Emma, beloved for her chari-

bronchitis. She was IS years old.
The queen mother, widow of King
William III and mother of Queen
Wllhelmina, had suffered from bron-

gravely i'll only few days ago.
From the first she was attended
almost constantly by her daughter,

throne
Many Watch Bulletins.
Through Monday care was taken to
avoid heavy traffic in the vicinity Of
the palace. Throngs formed. how
ever, to receive bulletins of Queen
Emma's condition.
AS the 20-year old Princess of Wal
deck and Piedmont she came to Hol-
land in 1879 to share the throne with
King william III as his second wife.
After the Kings death, in 1890, she
became regent and served in that ca
pacity until her daughter became of
age and assembled the throne.
Then she retired to the background,
devoting herself to patronage of the
arts and to charitable work. In 1923,
during the Olympic games, represent
atives of $50 countries took part in
a magnificent procession on the oc-
casion of her birthday.
Related to English Royalty.
The dowager queen was closely re-
lated to the English royal family.
Her sister was the late Duchess of
Albany. She also had many German
relatives.
AS her condition grew steadily
worse, kilograms and telephone calls
poured in.
Former Kaiser Wilhelm Of Germany
called frequently for word of the
queen mothers condition. He sent
a large bouquet from his castle at
