Despite Roberts efficiency, he con-
siders himself lucky if he gets three
minutes of finished product on the
screen each working day.
Take a 30-day schedule" he said.
THAT is 240 working hours on the
program under which we work. The
finished product, when ready for
exhibition, will require only about
an hour and a quarter to show. If
we were able to get three minutes
of finished film each day, that
would complete the picture in Is
days. Five days saving on the
schedule would mean from $4,000
to $4,000 reduction in negative cost.
'If it were a question of merely
parading actors before a camera,
we could finish in six days. But
it's the continual moving of cameras
to different angles, arranging for
close-ups, rehearsals and taking and
retaking of scenes that consumes
the time"

>FoIies' Show
Arrives for
Week. Visit
Troupe to Present Famed
Show at Indiana
Theater.

The Union Station early today
looked as if Indianapolis might be
the convention center for a femi-
nine League of Nations meeting, as
IS girls, members of the "Folies
Bergeres' troupe, here for a week
at the Indiana, arrived.
There were Russians in high
collared fur coatS, petite French
maidenS in short skirts and catchy
colors, staid and prin English girls,
couple of ruddy Swiss misses, and
a few Americans.
Their first thought concerned
breakfast, so they rushed into near
by restaurants where they failed to
display the traditional dainty show
girl appetites.
Miss Gloria Gilbert, the girl whose
toe-twirling is main part of the
show, was anxious to practice. She
is said to do three times as many
whirls off-stage as on. t
Others who arrived this morning
are Harold and Lola, dancers, Emil
Boreo, comedian and master of
ceremonies.
The Manginis, acrobats, were to
arrive in their automobile which
happens to be a pet pastime of the
two boys. The chief of police in
Cleveland recently. gave them a
siren for the car.
The train which brought the
troupe included two cars of baggage
and scenery.

contrives to marry her son, Bright
on, to Edith Gilbert, a surprisingly
Jntelligent rich young heiress.
Has Mind of Her Own
But Brighton, with mind of his
own, marries poor young girl,
Phyllis, who hasn't dime to her
name, and doesn't want many. The
two are happy until the old lady
5nterferes and attempts to obtain
the financial support Of a wealthy
cousin, Martin Deering, by trading
him the attentions of her daughter
1n-laW.
Mr.. Deering takes quick interest
in the young bride, wines and dimes
her, gives her husband one promo
tion after another. Gossip about the
two while the husband is gone to
Mexico brings the story to a climax.
There is a quarrel between Phyllis
and Brighton, she flees and hides.
She gets a job modelling, makes
most of her sales to the good-na-
fured Edith. Brighton finally comes
to his senses, finds his wife living
alone in one-room apartment, Of
fers her two rooms and an honestly
working husband. She accepts.
Joel McCrea is as usual as the
husband, Brighton Miss Westley
is good as ever in the role of the
domineering mother Katherine

satisfactory as Brighton's sister and
brother.

Obesity, or overweight, is one of
the commonest of human ills. Most
people do not think of excessive fat
as disease but it can cause just as
many symptoms and lead to just
as serious complications as any
other condition. There are east
ly charts to determine the proper
weight for anyone knowing the sex,
age and height. These are only av-
erage weights and in the indivio-
ual case are only guides. As gen.
eral rule, any person weighing over
two hundred pounds is overweight.
There are many exceptions of those
who are exceptionally tall or have
exceptionally large frames but
these exceptions are easily account
ed for.
1t l. quite evident that there is
more to the excessive accumula-
ton Of fat than overeating and lack
of exercise. We all know there are
some people who can take on
weight or reduce as they see fit,
while others seem to increase in
weight steadily no matter what
they do. This has caused a theory
to be advanced that there are two
kinds of fat of slightly different
chemical composition, one of which
seems to be easily added or re-
moved, while the other is fixed in
the body. That is the reason why
some people have great deal of
success with reducing diets while

MR.. CRAVEN'S ONE-SIDEDNESS

Mr.. Thomas Craven, you threw
few rocks at Negro (African)
art, now here's brick or two
right back. Your one sided article
in the Herald Examiner editorial
section of May 25 says that a
certain group of French art con-
noisseurs We're Crazy, Ynu said
this just because they had raised
certain objects dart of French or
igin to high place. You further
stated, that sensible Frenchmen
looked upon this action with an
amused smile. Now. YOU and l are
going to get both feet into it;
We've something to talk about this
time. Maybe they were mot SO
crazy.
To begin with, what part-~hat
aspect of art can we most eppre-
ciate? That which was or that
which is; or shall we agrnS chat
art always twas" in some degree?
Mr.. Craven, art flourished l.: Afri-
ca long before it was known to
the western world; those crazy"
Frenchmen you mentioned knew
that. They knew that the @Tt of
the African native was highly
pregnant with a remote, deeply
sounded secret that did not die
during the ages of change, The
African kept alive this secret
this artistic tendency and mother
ed it through the ages, then land
ed it down to you--the Western
world.
By the way, what great a!trac-
ton of primitive beauty did Cleo
patra have that so completely up

Were her spectacles more gorg-
eous-more artistic? Histor-S says
so. Speaking of art and artistic

The Bride and The Graduate

True to tradition the yearly cycle takes another
turn the June bride and the June graduate again hold the
spotlight they stand at the Threshold of and
fuller life The eyes of the world upon them this period
the real of their lives and they will succeed
i'll their chosen proportion they to advan
tage the experience and training of the past
In these days of economic stress especially will the
bride find herself weighed in the balance Whether she
will be found wanting will depend entirely upon her sincerity
of purpose in assuming the marital obligation and her willing
to undergo that period of and preparation
essential to the ideal married state.
It has often been said by veteran mariners the
matrimonial that the first year the hardest and that
married couple from this probationary period
which steers them clear of the reefs and shoals and into
since they entering upon the matrimonial they
should look we'll they chart their course keep weather
eye open for possible squalls and hold firm hand upon the
pilots wheel.
AS for the June graduate, she has much in common
with the bride but she suffers the added disadvantage that
during the present business and economic she
sail upon the of life rail which will test her
mee in buffetng the of establishment and despair
The graduate realize she sails that she surrounded
by many craft seaworhy than hers and by veteran
captains. conquerors of the gale and storm.
The graduate will realize before long that is best to
discard the cockue attitude of expecan youth and profit by
the experience of others who failed heed this warning sign
is far better to forth slowly and cautiously with
slight gains made than court failure through the sheer
mpetuosity and short-sightedness of youth.

Der that great musician to say:
"No living man can teach i:.1l, he
already knows more than l." You
should read the whole story, sir,
and perhaps you also would ask
the question-"f from wheTi5e comes
this art?" 1t is my opinion Mr..
Craven, that men of yor* t;,sa are
merely looking at thes Sshadow"
that they have dubbed art. Others
those you call crazy in your crit
icism, wish to know more of the
Source" from which art springs,
which, after all, is of greater i'm
port than its reflection. Art, is
old-very old, and all art u great
antiquity clings nearer to the
source, the truth from WHEN art
and all handiwork as expressed by
man did arise.
You said: "The influence Of
African sculpture on mouern art
has been limited and baieful."
Wrong again! Yes indeed you
are, for if We who appreciate art
can appreciate it in any of its
aspects, must we, of necessity love
it in its entirety-or not at all?
Probably, you are like Sens fair
weather Christians who profess
to love the soul because 20 are
taught that it is a part of God,
and yet, from day to day make
distinctions, racial and otherwise.
You call African art Careful.
Remember this, art is realized by
each and every individual from
the standpoint of "degre5" you,
posing as an intelligent being, as
sumo quite a responsibility when
you tell any man his viewpoint is
wrong just because yours IS diff
ferent.. For your benefit, consult
Mr.. Brisbane on this topic VI real
ization.
In the meantime, don't S0ther
about those exotic, art loving
Frenchmen, if they wish 60 behave
like negromaniacs (youTr p-S eX-
pression) let them. They harm no
one, and will continue w contri-
butte to art in spite of wor1ay criti-
cisms heaped upon them.

With only the stars his steps to

The sullen stream had no fear for

But he turned, when safe on the

And built a bridge to span the tide.

Look To Your Health!
By DIR. JOHN B. HALL, JR.

others have no success whatsoev-
err. Your type of fat is apparently
determined before your are born.
Overweight causes many types
of symptoms. Sluggishness, easy
fatigue, weakness in the knees,
shortness of breath, headaches are
few of them. In many cases no
organic disease can be found. The
two most common complications of
obesity are rheumatism and heart
failure.
The most common site of the
rheumatic symptoms is in the knee.
The reason is the same in both
cases. Your joints are only sup
posed to bear a certain amount OF
weight and a great excess Of fat
weakens the joint ligaments; also
the constant irritation roughens
the surfaces between the bones.
These things cause pain and stiff
ness whe n walking. Your heart
eakens since it is made to pump
.ood through body of moderate
size. It is like asking a Ford en-
CINE to drive a Mack truck; it may
do all right for a short period of
time but after a while will give
up.
The treatment in most cases con-
sists of a regulated diet which must
be closely followed day in and day
out. Diets of this type can be made
very palatable and oftimes produce
excellent results. There are a few
drugs which seem TO help in re-
ducing weight by increasing the
body metabolism or by increasing
elimination. If used, they must be
carefully controlled as they can do
more harm than good. Graded ex-
ercise is another procedure to be
used.
1t is needless to say that if there
is a disease condition present it
should be treated and the cure If
the condition reduce the weight. In
closing, let me remind you that ex-
cess weight is not only unsightly,
but can be detrimental to the health
by bringing on heart failure much
earlier in life than normally.
