Mr.. De Mile Says He Pictures
His Boyhood Thrills

'role as household entertainer and
educator.
"The fireside group is lost in
stitution," DeMille says. 1T was
there that we of the last genera,
ton got our grounding in the
classics and the Bible. Movies and
radio have taken the place of
family entertainment for tn e
younger generation which was
once supplied by our fathers.
ut is, therefore, up to the
movies to supply the wholesome
value of the entertainment which
it Supplanted."
DeMille's childhood is reSponSi.
BILE for the type of pictures he pro.
duces today, he says. His histori,
cal spectacle, Cleopatra" current
epic, THE Crusades," and sucn
of his Biblical productions as THE
Ten Commandments" and King
of Kings" constitute part of his
effort to restore to today's youth
that which was lost with the ad.
vent of our age of speed and in
vention.
"All of the big subjects I have
produced, or will produce in the
future, are subjects which
thrilled to when my father read
them to me-" he says. IF I can
bring these subjects with all their
glamour and in all truthfulness to
the screen, I feel that I shall be
supplying our youth with what
they lost when the home ceased
to be a well-rounded institution. u

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 25.-Being
the patent haired sleek type on
the screen is not all it's cracked
up to be, especially in the case OF
George Raft. All the glue he has to
put on his crowning glory to keep
it from standing on end has
caused his hair line to recede and
if something doesn't happen soon
to retard its progress, it'll be hair
pieces for him.
Rumor has it that Cherubic
Helen Kane is now just a wrath
of her former self. In the last
seven months she's lost forty-three
pounds due to having no salt in
any of her food and indulging in
a massage and a stiff game Of
badminton daily.
We're really going to have to
give Samuel Goodwin a medal If
he contiues turning out such ele-
CANT pictures. The latest, "Barbary
Coast" starring Miriam Hopkins,
Edward G. Robinson and Joel Nc
Crea, is so colossal, superb, lavish,

Jan Kiepura made his debut To-

But the eye I kept cooked on
Baer's right hand never saw a
lethal attack launched that meant
anything for Joe Louis to worry
about.
] Say Baer Quit
It is not for me to say
whether or not Max Baer
chucked it. Possibly his feet and
his sagging knees would not re
Spond to the urge to make it a
fight. The former champion had
been well pounded in three one
sided rounds during which the
tantalizing left hand of Bomber
Joe Louis had been thrust into
bis features so often he never
had a chanoe to smile or observe
who was in the front rows OF
the 27,000 ring side SeatS.
In the fourth round he evi
dently decided he was confront
ing a hopeless task. Somebody
else must defeat Joe Louis. He
went down and he stayed there
This was no exhibition of Spar
tan courage but it was sound wis,
dom from the Baer standpoint to
concede the arrival of a better
man.
Joe Louis is a great young
fighter. He proved it to my
satisfaction last night, although
I would have preferred harder
test for his climb towards the
championship.
All around me I could hear
them saying: Greatest colored
fighter who has come along since
Sam Langford." Maybe. But I
reserve a final opinion until I
see Joe Louis fight something but
a soft punching bag. Somebody
who fights back. Somebody whose
ring technique includes a defense
for a left jab other than stopping
it with his face.
They said Max Baer never
really fights until he gets mad.
Well, Joe Louis did everything in
the world last night to get him
mad if fists can do it. You must
have to call him something and
perhaps the phlegatic Joe Louis
didn't know just what words to
speak.
Enough of the fight stuff. I

It was a huge crowd and it was

Max lost his title smiling and kidding his op-
ponent and the audience. Last night he went
down to one knee under a rain of blows and
stayed there while he was counted out. He was
conscious and seemed capable of rising but he
was badly beaten fighter.
I was among those who felt that he was
listening to Referee Arthur Donovan's count

intent of rising and attempting to carry on. I

"Serener havens." Did you

Our typical American restless

sudden enthusiasmS and even
more sudden boredoms-it'S all
part Of our frantic search for
escape.
Escape from what? Anything
-everything-most Of all from
ourselves. So many problems we
can't solve-and most Of us are
still too immature to tackle
them seriously, or gracefully to
admit they're beyond us. So
away we go-looking for some
thing at which we can succeed,
or, better still, for something
which will help us forget.
STRANGE, HECTIC
And what strange havens we
choose! Remember those "Prohi-

thought we had to live high,

her own hotcha dancer! Come

How many American fathers

for this subverSive propaganda is
being paved by a group Of Fed

certain institutions of higher

How many American fathers

to take a fit in the process.
It does seem that the main
thing the Rev. Mr.. Buchman has
done has been to take the South
ern camp meeting out Of the pine
hollow and transfer it to Park
Avenue and to Mayfair. The
same emotionalism is there, even
though it be dressed in. silk in

A rather recent gathering Of
''The Groups" was held in Briar-

up the Hudson from New York

form for which BuchmaniSm is
known, the first of such having
been held in a summer resort in
China, where the minister was
visiting. Golf, tennis, riding,
hiking and the other diversions Of
weekend holiday occupied the
day.
The members became ac-
quainted, ate well, and at night
congregated for prayer and the
washing out. This washing out
is the public confession which oc-

What objection there is to the

this open confessional. In some
instances it has occasioned public

On the eve Of Armistice Day a
sinister coalition Of alien and do
mestic Radicals is organizing an
other demonstration Of disloyalty
in the schools, colleges and uni
versities Of the United States,
not only in the Federal City, but
throughout the country.
"Under the Specious pretext"

these alien and domestic sapperS
are spreading a propaganda Of
sedition and treason where they
think it will do the most damage
to American institutions-among
those young Americans Of today

sponsibilities that popular govern

ton is coming from alien Radi-
Gals and how much Is being put

and dupes, not even the Govern
ment appears yet to have taken

But the Government will not
be allowed long to maintain an
attitude of Supine indifference to
such an impudent challenge to
the sovereignty Of the American
people.

Legion and the women Of the

North, East, South and West will
not shirk their duty in the face
Of such challenge.
They can and will put q pres
