learns that she is to have 9 baby.
 Kay, who plays the role of a doctor who is unable to have a child herself, promises to take care of the troubled Jean.
 Quite by accident, she learns before the boy is born that the liam. Immediately she makes plans for a divorce, feeling that he should marry Jean and take care of her and the baby.
 But Jean, learning of this, commits suicide to keep Kay and Warren together. All of which may be art or realism or what not, but it certainly makes up a rather unpleasant evenings en- tertainment.
 FROM GREAT TO SORDID
 Give Brook and Diana Wyn- yard the team who made such a success in the clean and splend- did picture "Cavaicade," had a less happy vehicle in Lets Try Again."
 Now "Cavalcade" was not exact ly Pollyanna picture. No more moving sequences have flashed across the screen in years. High tragedy and heart-wringing sad ness stalked through the picture.
 Yet the public cheered it to the echo. Proving that successful pie lures don't have to be all sugar and spice.
 But Let's Triy Again" was a horse of another colors. Here again is the story of a doctor and his wife, married for 10 yeads. They quarrel, and the wife, Diana Wynward, seeks solace from Theodore Newton, h I niece's fiance.
 Brook also turns to another for romance, and finds it in Helen Vinson, a patient. Newton is then forced to end his affair with Diana to marry her niece, who is to have a child by him. ANYTHING TO "CASH IN"
 Now this seems pretty sordid stuff, and the fact that Diana and Give go back together again at the end of the picture doesn't take away the feeling that yop have sat through a pretty lament able business by the time the newsreel comes along to take the bad taste out of your mouth.
 Here again the movie tendency to leash in" is apparent. One gangster picture is a success. What follows? A flood of gang ster pictures, each more lurid, more gutterish than the one be- fore.
 A newspaper picture is suc- cess. What follows? A series of pictures, each trying to outdo the others in front-paging the front

 pagers.
 A medical picture is a success. What follows? A whole series of pictures tending to imply that doctors use their position and practice largely as a happy hunt ing ground in the preserves of love.
 Here again it is less any single picture than the effect of repeated pictures. handling the same theme in much, the same way, that gives a distorted effect.
 MANAGER IS "SEWED UP"
 And the worst of it is, of course, that the neighborhood theater manager usually has little choice. His pictures are booked in blocks" which means that he has to take them all as they come along. Even if he thinks a cer- tain picture is unsuited to his house, if it is included in his sched- ule of bookings, he has to take it.
 House managers have told me of instances when they refused to show such picture even when they had received it and paid for 1t, but it is not every manager who can afford this luxury, or who is conscientious enough to care.
 Greater liberty of choice by managers would enable them to furnish the kind of pictures their public really wants. And that would go long way toward solv- ing the industry's public relations problem. But in the meantime

BRITISH PROFIT
 SHARING DOWN
Schemes Dropped as No ', Improvement Is Noted
 in Business

London (UP)- Profit-sharing appears to be declining in Great Britain.
 Of the 655 such schemes known to have been started at various times in the United Kingdom, the ministry of labor reports that more than half of them were extinct last year. About one-quarter of those abandoned disappeared eith- CT because the business was wound up, or because it passed into new hands with different ideas, the others were dropped, it is stated, either because they did not inn prove business, or for other req sons were unsatisfactory to the employers, or because the em- ployes received increased wages or shorter hours in lieu of the annual share in the company's profits.
 In 1919 and 1920, when profit sharing was popular, 96 different schemes embracing 33,000 work people were started; last year not a single new scheme was launched, and five old ones were wound up.
 British experience seems to show that banks and public utilities make the greatest success of profit-sharing, apparently because their income is less subject to vio- lent fluctuations.
 The biggest single scheme in Britain consists of seven banks with 14,700 employees; the average share of profit received by the employe in 1883 was $2S0. an in crease of 16 per cent on the ordi- nary wages, or salary received. Public utility companies-gas, wa ter and electricity-had 6S such schemes in effect covering 49,900 employees; the average share of profit amounts to over $45, an in- crease of AS per cent on earnings.
