Seeing Happiness

Happiness is the gift of seeing
the good things of life in such high
relief that the rest is unimportant.
Approve not of him who COM
mends everything you say.
When man with an air as if it
were natural to him to give orders
is found, it isn't long before the
meek put him in a position to do
it.
A long answer turneth away
anybody else who was going to
ask question.
Using Abilities
The ART of being able to make
good use of moderate abilities
wins esteem, and confers more
reputation than real merit.
What men say when they are
angry is either the blazing truth
or very unreliable.
If you encounter a man who
knows several secrets of his
friends and doesn't tell them,
that's the man to tie up to.
There is nothing thrilling about
contentment; nothing dangerous,
either.
If you have savage opinions,
people will be hypocritical to you
to keep on good terms.

Columbus Trip Prompted
by Polo's Tales of East

Marco Polo's storytelling ability
was really responsible for the dis
covery of America, asserts writer
in the Washington Post.
In 1870, more than 200 years be-
fore the voyage of Columbus, Marco
Polo went to China with his father.
They went by the overland route
through Armenia, Palestine, Persia.
and so on to China. 1t took them
three years to get there. The y
stayed in China sixteen years.
Marco ruled the city of Yang
Chow for three years.
When Marco returned he told won
derful tales Of the Far East of gold,
jewels, silks, and fabulous riches OF
all kinds.
ALI Europe buzzed with his stories,
incredulous, yet eager to obtain the
silks, the jewels and the gold.
In order to impress their friends
with the great riches of the East,
the Polo's gave great banquet. In
the midst of it they ripped open
their garments and out fell hundreds
Of jewels and much gold.
Then Marco Polo wrote a book
about his travels. It set the imagi-
nation of the world on fire. 1t start
ed people thinking on the possible
ties of the Far East.
This overland route was very
long, difficult and dangerous. A sail
ing route around Africa and through
the Indian ocean was almost equal
ly hazardous. The great question
for centuries was a short route to
the East.
Columbus, believing the fantas-
tic idea that the earth was round,
sailed west to reach the East In
dies and discovered the West In
dies-all because Marco Polo was
good story-teller.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 12.-Screen

that the celluloid twoSomes OF
1886 jolt the old-time love-makerS
right out of the hallowed shrineS
of memory.

screen teams of all time, Leonard
chose only Janet Gaynor ano

champagne Waltz
(PnrGmount)
Pnfjnn. ErcoUenf

Designated as "the Special
Zukor Jubilee P o d u c ! o n"
Paramount has hit upon a genu-
inely worthwhile and amusing
attraction in Champagne
Waltz" co-starring Fred Mac
Murray and Gladys Swarthout.
OF course, it is a musical. But
it is a musical handled and de-
veloped in light and airy fash
ion with dashes of whimSy
added by way Of the sauce and
an aSSemblage of nonSenSical
goings-on which are designed to
increase the fun quota and sue
ceed.
Miss Swarthout, who is for
tunate in voice as well as in
appearance and grace, is a de-
scendant of the Johann Strauss
family. Which Immediately
stamps the locale as Vienna.
She and that other descendant
in the direct lineage, Fritz Lei
ber. remain true to the tradi-
tion of the Vinenese waltz and
find themselves pitted against
the encroachment of American
jazz, with MacMurray as it's
hotcha exponent. Boy meets
girl, quite naturally, and the
inevitable love affair follows.

in New York waiting for a play,
Bright STAR to be staged. There
was trouble with the script and I
had to wait. Meanwhile bills
piled up so, when I finished my
role in The Scoundrel,' I barely
had enough money with which to
settle bills and get home. A con-
tract was in the offing at Para
mount, but just at the time when
1 should have looked prosperous,
couldn't. Joan learned Of this
and. although she was leaving
Hollywood in a week, she spent
two days buying me a wardrobe
and helping fit the clothes her
self. Today, am paying her
back for those clothes, but it has
been a year."
Phillip Barry and Arthur Hop
kins also aided her. Barry was
writing Bright Star" for Mar
garet SULLIVAN, but the star was
not available. He saw Julie in q
short arty film and felt she could
play the part. He wrote it for
her and tried to sell his producer
on using Julie. The producer re-
fused, and Barry, so determined
was he to see Julie in the role,
took the play from that producer.
Julie knew nothing of this.
Barry went to Arthur Hopkins
with his play and convinced that
producer that Julie would be ideal
for the role. Taking a wild
chance, Hopkins brought Miss
Hayden to New York. It was be-
cause she was there at the time'
waiting for Bright Star" to be par
TALLY rewritten, that she got the
part in "The Scoundrel". She
later returned to Broadway from
Hollywood to do the play.
Noel Coward helped Miss Hay
don many times when they were
appearing in "The Scoundrel".
The little actress says he person
ally coached her in great many
scenes.
To the list of these friends must
also be included Ben Hecht and
Charles Macarthur who made
"The Scoundrel" and who, at the
completion of the picture, gave
her advice about how to manage
her career in the future.

SUFFERED HEARIACdES
Up until now Hollywood has
given her little else but heart
aches. She has been UP and down
the lower portions Of the ladder
of fame so many times that she
might join a circus. She has had
tumbles, falls and crashes. Yet
she has continued to smile because
she has always felt the grasp Of a
helping hand.
Julie right now is starting q
contract with M-G-M, her third
studio. She was under contract
to RKO for a year and almost
forgotten. Paramount had her q
year and. save for one picture at
the end Of her agreement, she was
forgotten.
This blonde girl with bounds OF
enthusiasm and fragile type OF
beauty which does not make her
of the luscious type, has never had
anything but her talents to offer
anyone. She has never known the
power of money or a pull, so no
one who helps her could ever ex'
pect anything but jules graft

to beg off. More invitations
came and still I lodged them.
Finally, a mutual friend came to
me and asked what was the mat

me and was being hurt by my re-
fuSals.
II had to confess. I was sup
porting my family. My father
had died, leaving many debts. I
was determined to pay them all.
I had never had money. I had
often gone hungry. So I really
didn't have any clothes to wear
to Joan'S home. I owned not
one evening gown. I told our
mutual friend I hoped Joan
would understand.
II had been invited for that
evening. During the day, Miss
Crawford sent my friend to me to
beg me to accept q favor from
her. She sent over many dresses
from her own wardrobe and new

has brought James Cagney back
in a typical knock-down-and-
drag-out Cagney film. AS. far
as fistic action is concerned,

there is plenty of pace, but the
