 Hollywood = Most good actors and actresses have big heads, Literally large, not inflated with ego. Elmer Fryer says 50. Elmer is the portrait specialist at Warmers. He has been posing hundreds of stars for 10 years. Locking over his large gallery of favorite likenesseg, he got to thinking about the actual sizes of heads the other day, and decided that a small head and small features are a great handicap to any per- former.
 Look at Clark Gables ears, Beery's nose, Cantor's eyes, Joe E.. Browns mouth. Look at Joan Crawford's mouth. Nearly ali stars have generous features and heads larger than average. If they didn't. they'd look prissy in photograph" 1" Consider, too, the not-too-hand- some features of some of the out- standing celluloid successes. Looks as though the time is nearing when few pronounced character lines will be worth Q thousand dimples. There are w. o. Fields, Jimmy Durante, Edna May Oliver, Charles Chaplin, Ruggles and Butterworth, the aforementioned Messrs. Brown and Beery, the Brothers Marx, and Victor McLaglen.
 Any one of these could win an Olympic pole-vault event as easily as . beauty contest. Yet they seem to be doing all right.
 
 Art for Screens Sake
 When your attention wandered from the action of dull movie, you might have got to wondering about the pictures hung against the walls of film sets. There are reasons why these pictures can't be portraits of real people or copies of old masters. If film players or any other ce- lebrities were used as models for paintings, they would be recognized by lots of customers and would be- come distracting factors in the fin- ished films.
 Neither is 1t safe to hang copies of famous paintings in sets depict- ing homes or hotels which, judged by their sheer magnificence, would tolerate nothing but originals.
 Too many people know where the originals really hang, and are just itching for Q chance to write crit- ical letters.
 So the studio artists go on paint- ing pictures of scenes never seen, and of people who never existed. Some of these canvasses are really rather fine, but nobody notices them particularly. It's steady work, but discouraging.
 
 Safe Adventure
 The Los Angeles river. skirting , Hollywood on the north, dis graces its locale by being neither stupendous nor gigantic. In fact 1t Is notable mainly for the small amount of water 1t generally con- tains. But because 1t is more of Q swamp than 6 river, 1t has its days of glory. Heavy vegetation, rank and lush, grows along it's banks. And to 1t goes the location companies - with native porters, Inachetes, tame monkeys, crocodiles named Albert. auinine, snakes; and limousines Tor their scenes in the tropics! Short takes: He loves classical music. He doesn't play poker. He wouldn't bait e fish hook. He never | has been in an airplane. He wont eat bananas, raw oysters. or popcorn He never has belonged to any club He isn't ticklish. He doesn't smoke, and seldom swears. On the screen, though, he's 6 tough guy. His name is Jimmy Cagney.

structive cooperation toward bust

istration today at the annual con-
ference of the National Associa-
ton Of Mutual Saving Banks.
Opening sessions were featured
also by warnings that social Sc
curity legislation should be
studied and discussed throughout
the nation with a view to educa-
ting the population to full under
ing Of such measures.
President Robert c. Glazier
noted a "rising tide Of business
recovery" but added:
"Are we asking too much
when, we urge that an attitude
Of friendly and constructive Co
operation toward business be
adopted and maintained by the
Government? For, in the Opin-
ion Of thoughtful men, such
friendly and constructive Co
operation is the one thing
needed to stimulate and quicken
the industrial activity Of the
nation, and thus to eliminate
the scOurge Of unemployment"
Conceding that some measure
Of Government-foStered social Sc
curity is inevitable. Glazier said:
"The whole scheme is so vast
and so far-reaching In its i'm
plicatiOnS the human mind is
not capable Of graSping the sub
ject in its entirely, but must
content itself with the vague
hope 1t Is all for the best and
that the trainers Of this legisIa-
ton had good and sufficient
reason for their action"
In less than a year, M. A. Lin
ton, president Of the Provident Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Dislike at First Sipht,


THERE are persons whom We dis
like at first sight. And this dis
like persists as q sort Of prejudice.
Often this prejudiced dislike works out
to our own disadvantage. This is. I
believe, what Robert Burns had In
mind when he wrote those memorable
lines, %, wad some Power"
I suspect that restaurant walters
often receive small tips or no tips at
all simply because they are over-at-
tentive to folks who are in the habit
OF waiting on themselves. I have
known BARRIERS to lose a good Gus
toner because they kept up the bar
Der shop chatter with q man who
wanted to plan his days work. Sales
persons in stores often lose sale be-
cause they are too anxious to help you
make up your mind. It is not always
the best thing to insist on helping an
elderly gentleman into his great-coat.
1t is bad thing In the case Of an
athletic young man.
But the worlds, worst" is the fell
low who continually talks about his
achievements, his acquaintances and
what he expects to do. In the same
category Is the fellow who demands
that you hear his opinion about some
thing he knows absolutely nothing
about. And then we have those elder
ly fellows who will talk with any
younger person as If the younger man
were q mere boy. These are the ad-
vice-givers who make themselves dis
liked ct FIRST sight.
