HOLLYWOOD NOTES
.ShodoWettes
Are Lure at
Glen Echo

He describes himself as "mer.
chant of shadows" this most I'M
usual figure at Glen Echo. And
his description is as correct as
it is tantalizing.
For he is Georges Boria, the
"scissorette man" who looks at
your shadow and then makes it
come true in magically clever
silhouettes.
Mr.. Boria came to Glen Echo
from Hollywood where he made
"scissorettes" Of many of the
most famous stars. Many of them
are on display in his Glen Echo
studio, as we'll as photographs Of
Mr.. Boria with the stars.
This unusual silhouette artist
is true master of shadows. He
has the art of capturing per.
Sonality as we'll as a camera-like
resemblance. Each of his Scissor
cites" reflects some unique per.
sonal trait-a tilt of the head, an
unruly curl, trick of expression.
So that is why it is getting to
be the popular thing to top off
an afternoon or evening of fun
at Glen Echo by having a silhou.
cite record made that will be
permanent reminder Of happy
hours spent in the Crystal Pool
on the motor boat course, in the
Midway Of Fun" riding the
coaster dips, dancing in the Span
ish ball room and enjoying the
many other fun devices.
An aquatic jubilee will be held
at Glen Echo July Is and IA when

II enjoyed the picture but

up in their official capacities the
task of trying to have James

However, to the defense of wide

Sociate producers of the film.
Said he:
"Jane isn't a scamp. She's a
healthful, very active yOungSter.
Nothing in her screen roles
shows her to be malicious. The
public has made her what she

Red Rooster Holds
Up Raft Production

Hollywood's highly publicized
temperament struck back at q
major film troupe recently in the
person of a sprightly red rooster
which should have known better.
Effcting a peaceful pastoral
scene, Alexander Hall, director of.
Paramount's Yours for the Ask
ing" with George Raft and
Dolores Costello Barrymore, de-
manded a Growing rooster.
But the only way Hall could
get a crow out of the movie
rooster was to fool him. The
stage was completely darkened:
even the night pilot light was
turned out. And for 10 minutes,
while the entire troupe kept
quiet, the rooster slept peace
fully.
Slowly the lights, worked on
a DINNER, were frightened. the
sound device switched on, and
sure enough the bird crowed-
Justify, several times.

10 REASONS
Why use newspaper advertising Z?

Why use newspaper advertising?
Thomas F. Barnhart, advertising spe-
cialist and associate professor of journal
ism at the University of Minnesota gives
thirteen pertinent reasons. They are:
1. Newspaper reading is universal
habit. Newspaper advertising, therefore,
reaches virtually all who read and buy.
2. A newspaper advertising can al
ways be seen by the reader.
3. The newspaper advertisement, as
part of the complete paper, goes into the
home as welcome guest.
d. The newspaper advertisement can
have as much news value and reader in
terest as the news item.
s. The amount of text used in news
paper advertisements is dependent only
upon the size of the space.
6. Newspaper advertising is flexible.
Z. Newspaper advertising is quickly
controlled
8. Newspaper advertising may be
adjusted to different conditions.
9. Newspaper advertising enables
manufacturers and dealers to state where
their products may be bought.
10. Newspaper advertising is mex
pensive Merchants have learned that it
covers more families, for less money than
any other form of advertising
II. Newspaper circulation is known
and is comparatively unaffected by daily
change.
IL. Nearly all of newspapers cir
culation is concentrated in it's own mar
ket.
49, Newspaper advertising reduces
selling costs because it entails no waste in
circulation. This helps reduce costs for
the consumer

SEVEN CRIMINAL RECORDS

Those interested in the protection of
the public from criminal tendencies will
be interested in the facts revealed in Kan
sas City recently where police made a
spectacular drive against visiting public
enemies in order to protect thousands of
visitors attending the American Medical
Association convention.
It is amazing to read the criminal
record of seven public enemies: Number
l had been arrested 1875 times in 81 cities
and had been in prison times; number 2,
arrested rs times in q cities and in prison
5 times; number 3, ID times in IL cities
and twice in prison; number A, 60 times
in 13 cities and once in prison; number 6,
80 times in % cities and once in prison
number z, % times in II cities.
With such records, it is surprising
that the extent of their punishment in
Kansas City was a weeks Imprisonment
and warning to get out of town. However,
as the men had not committed a crime in
Kansas City, the police were powerless to
do anything more. Thinking citizens will
agree, however, that it is time for statute
which will cable society to permanently i'm
prison such malefactors instead of shunt-
ing them from one locality to another.

THE END OF WAR

During the World War the thought
that it would usher in a new era of peace
strengthened the hearts and increased the
determination of the men engaged in that
great strife.
This ideal has not been reached. The
League of Nations and the World Court,
visions inspired by conception of mans
brotherhood, have both failed to accom-
plish expectations up to this time.
At the outbreak of the World War
there were roughly about 100000 men
in the regular armies of Europe with lit
tie more than three times that number of
trained reserves. Now these countries
have over 100000 regular soldiers and
over seven times as many more in reserve.
The World War has not eliminated mill
tarlSm.
In many other ways the pursuit of
war has made progress since 1914. The
airplane the automobile, the radio, and
other scientific inventions, including mill
tary gases have all been applied for use
by the armies of the next Wharf.-The peO-
Piles of the world know another war is COM
ing but they have no way of gauging its
death dealing potentialities or its horrors
1t would seem that the collective wis
dom of mankind, irrespective of any feel
ing of humane regard for others, would
realize the folly and waste of war. The
old hatreds and animosities and the new
ambitions and greeds place impossible OBJ
stacles in the way of reason and love.
