Final Will Rogers Tribute

The passing Of a President,
Pontiff or Potentate could not
have received greater public at
tention or have been more uni
versally mourned in the nations
press than was the untimely
death of the beloved Will Rogers.
OF course Will Rogers was more
than an actor. He was accepted
as Ambassador Of Good Will by
the world, as the greatest native
wit and disciple of homely humors
since Mark Twain. His amazing
audience of friends embraced fol:
lowers of the front page, the loud
speaker, the motion picture screen
and the stage. No other living
man had so completely conquered
all of these diverse mediums OF
intimate personal contact, or had
gotten closer to the people.
About nine years ago when
Rudolph Valentino passed to the
Beyond, this idol of the romantic
screen left behind a popularity
which compelled attention of a
magnitude never before accorded
an actor by the American press.
It so happened that President
emeritus Charles w. Eliot of Har'
ward University died on August
%, 1926, about "a hours before
the motion picture star breathed
his last.
In the process of valuing the
news, editors gave more space to
the death Of the actor than they
did to the educator. Much more.
It led some conservative critics Of
the Fourth Estate to assert that
it was evidence of a distorted edi.
torial judgment and marked by a
complete lack OF restraint. Never
again, they said, would the world
see such an hySterical lament for
an actor.
Stanley Walker, able news
paper executive and for IS years
city editor of the New York Her
ald!Tribune in his book "City
Editor" defends the newspapers
and their appraisal of news in
terest. Says he:
"A good argument could have
been made by a conservative
newspaper for regarding the
death of the actor as Of greater
interest, even Of greatest i'm.
pOrtance. DIR. Eliot had not
been active in the affairs Of the
world for many years, and most
people, particularly the younger
generation, thought Of him, If
they thought Of him at all,
merely as an old gentleman
with sideburns who had once
selected a five-foot shelf Of
books. On the other hand,
Valentino had made himself
into a symbol of something or
tther. This circumstance
might have seemed deplOrable
to an editorial writer who had
long ago seen his own we'll
springs of romance dry up, but,
deplOrable or not, it was true"
Now the world is bowed again
FOR an actor. The sorrow Is even
deeper and more general and only

Alice IellS flDS
This Alice Adams is invited to
the socially prominent Mildred
Palmer'S party. There she meets
Fred MacMurray, another social
ite of wealth and background. and
tries to impress him with the fact
that she came from a family OF
culture and prominence.
From that time on Alice Is EN-
barrassed trying to keep up with
her fabrications, trying to conceal
from her suitor that she has been
juggling with the truth. The
Adams give a dinner to help along
her courtShip and everything
seems to go wrong. It reminded
me of Frank Craven's spread in
his First Year" which eliminated
in the terrific row between hus-
band and wife.
Finest Hepburn acting is wit
messed in the society dance scene
at the Palmer mansion. Here
Alice Adams, with her field violets
corsage and made over party
dress, struggles desperately to keep
from being q wall flower neglected
on the side lines, to make an i'm
preston on the eligible males and
snare one as a dance partner.
1t is Hepburn at her very best.
Alice's father (b beautifully
played by Fred Stone) suffers
most from her pretenses. His wife'S
nagging to make him earn more
money for Alice's social promotion
causes him to break with boss
friend Of lifetime and start in
making glue in his own factory
Fathers burden is heavy until the
last reel.
Alice's brother, Walter (also
finely acted by Frank Albertson)
takes part in the craps game with
the colored walters at the Palmer
dance, just as the humiliating in
cident was portrayed in the book

In death Will Rogers received

''top billing" Who will rise up
to say that a great actor and a
greater humorist wasn't worth
every line o: it.
Arthur (GIobe Trotter) Reilly
will deliver a three-minute eulogy
for Will Rogers at the Fox Thea,
ter today at p. m. The program
will be halted for this memorial
tribute.
Warner Brothers theaters will
suspend all entertainment for one
minute at 3 p. m. in the local
theaters, the hour Of the Rogers
funeral.

Perhaps you recall the "Alice Adams" of
Harrington which won the Pulitzer prize as
the best novel of 1922. If you do you will find
that the ending has been sweetened, that Alice
gets her man and that her habit of convenient
living has been softened to make it more harm
less fibbing and gentle Dragging.
Both the Alice Adams of the story and Of
the picture are tragic characters. For the

If the picture fails in any re-
spect it is in the treatment Of
Alice's suitor, as played by Fred
MacMurray. In this picture Ac-
tor MacMurray is a good-looking
stick although to be truthful about
it the authors haven't supplied
him with one line Of genuine dia.
logue so that he seems to be con-
tinually in a state of dumb en-
barraSsement while Alice does
most of the talking.
Fred Stone Is Great
The Hepburn following will
find that the star has been beau
tifully photographed in "Alice
Adams" There are none Of those
angular shots which make her re-
semble a monkey. Here the
camera effects are softer and the
artistic result accentuates her best
features.
Katharine Hepburn has never
acted better than in her latest
picture. There is less conscious
straining for emotional effects
and the star plays with a delight
full ease and assurance, with re-
fined tenderness that enhances
appeal for a girl who is at heart
a silly little bluff.
Magnificently supported by
Fred Stone, aided by the Skilful
direction of George Stevens which
sustains well the comedy-with-a'
tear mood, and helped by hui
man story, Hepburn is UP with
the leaders again.
The supplementary program
contains a two reel short glolify'
ing Major Edward Bowes' mocha
and java Sunday evening radio
hour. It is excellent celluloid Ell
tertainment. The Pathe News
has the first warning-up shots OF
the potential presidential candi'

Neqlect of Ceilinq Decoration Noted

yelling decoration, which was carried to extremes many years ago,
~ has been neglected in recent years, according to painting experts.
Although ceilings often were too elaborate a hundred years ago, many
builders followed the taste of Robert Adam, famous architect, and had
ceilings tastefuny decorated with plaster and paint. Many of these CELL
mgs still may be seer in old homes in Philadelphia, Washington, Annap-
oils and Fredericksburg.
The style was adopted by George Washington at Mt Vernon. where
one of the ceilings was decorated with miniature agricultural implements.
symbolic of his hobby.
Now decorators are repeating this old custom, and turning their at
tention ceiingWard. Sencned borders are being used s a means of
lending importance to ceilings painted soft yellow. blue, green OF other
pale tints. In small rooms, the stencned design may be applied only at
the corners, rather than all the way around. Nothing o. blending, if it
IharmonizeS with the wall finish, also proves effective.
A dark room with a low ceiling can be made to appear higher and
better illuminated if the ceiling is painted a velvety fiat white or pale
pastel tint. On the other hand, a barn-hke room with a high ceiling can
be made to seem much more intimate and friendly if one of the darker
tones is applied to the ceiling, which will make it seem lower.
If a bedroom is cold and unaHTacuve, coating of the ceiling with a
pleasant tint of peach, apricot or light cora will give it a rosy glow that
will be apparent o the drearieSt of mornings.

the only way you can make your

Regarding the bidding, when

The natural way would have

then the clubs, but with South'S bid

if he permitted his partner to take

be forcing him in the three zone;
