| J girls of Is are Ignorant of
life and not capable of tax
ing care of themselves. I want to tell
that. That may have been true in
your day, but it is not the case now.
I am Is years old and I know that
we l5-year-olders are perfectly able
to protect ourselves. The life of one
of my best girl friends has been
ruined because her father thought as
you do and would not let her have
dates She sneaked out anyway and
kept company with boys of bad char
acter Now it is too late for any one
to do anything for her, and she hates
the sight of her father. FLAPPER.
Answer: 1t seems to me that your
friends fate proves my contention
that a 15-year-old girl isn't worldly
wise enough to know how to protect
herself, rather than yours that at
that advanced age she Is perfectly
capable of walking safely among the
dangers of life. For it was her ig-
norance of the pitfalls that lie in the
pathway of a young girl that caused
her to stumble into one. 1t was her
lack of knowledge of men that led
her into choosing rotters for compan-
ions.
OF course, I know that at IS you
feel just terribly, terribly old and self
confident and wise. In our teens Is
the only time in our whole lives that
we are sure that We know all the
answers; that our judgment is infalli-
BILE, and that when we die wisdom
will perish with us. 1t is only when
we are in our teens that We look upon
our parents and all elderly people as

JESSIE MATTHEWS
 COMES TO STATE
Dancing Sensation Seen in ''It's Love
 Again

Jessie Matthews, Americas danc- ing divinity comes to Warner Hrothers' State theater tomorrow with Robert Young in Its Love Again.
 Jessie comes to town in a eprightly comedy and Jessie goes to town with some new dancing that Is absolute tops in this kind of entertainment. Her tap rou- tines, her ball room dancing and finally her sensational new Tenn pie dance achieve perfection.
 Another delightful personality contributes to the general excei- lence of "It's Love Again." Miss MattheyS has found her ideal ro- mantle complement in Robert Young, who brings vitality and charm to the role of her leading man. Sonnie Hale (Miss Mat thews' husband in off-screen life) is cannily cast fin a tailored-to- measure comedy role which gives his droll talents full scope.
 We have come to expect and to accept as inevitable a weak story as part of any dancing film. But we are pleasantly surprised in "It's Love Again." by a lively, clev- CT script which, if 1t were un- happily deprived of Mise Math- thew's entrancing dance numbers, would still be one of the years most cieverly developed plots.
 YouTl like not one but many things about this entertaining pie ture--the work of it's stars, Miss Matthews' brilliant dancing, her gorgeous gowns and the general charm of her personality and the brilliant dance ensembles. You'll also be singing its contagious tunes.
 The companion feature is "Dra- cula's Daughter" one of the strangest dramas of the season, Otto Kruger, Marguerite Churchill, Irving pichel and Gloria Holden have the leading roles.
 Even as her father before her, 'Dracula's Daughter" pursues her victims. Her hypnotic power holds them enthralled. When she falls in love, the struggle be- tween the supernatural ard the earthly is the strangest clash ever presented in modern drama.
 Wednesday next brings II. c. WeilS' new hit, "rhings to Come" also Guy Kibbee in "The Big Noise"

IN NEW YORK

I Harry's New York Bar. well, at a wee hour the ruddy jovial proprie- tor of Paris's leading Manhattan bistro was discovered taking 8 bus- mans holiday at Fred .Payne's Am- erican Bar on the fringe of Mont- marte. And passing out autograph cd paper handkerchiefs for the use of customers with crying jags.
 No event, perhaps, has 50 sad- dened the Arnericen colony in Paris as the recent death of hand- some Johnny Dombrowskj, the Po- lish-Arnerican who has tended Ar11- erican bars in Paris since the war. Two hundred and fifty Americans went to Garches, far outside Paris, to attend his funeral. One New York newspaper correspondent, long habitue of Johnny's Bar, paid his late host what all agreed was Q sentimental tribute. Though famed for his ability to keep on his feet after almost any number of alco- holic shocks, he nevertheless pass cd out at Johnny's funeral. "John- ny would have understood" every one commented.

 Await Cues in Vain
 Loiterers, looking solemn, gather at the Palace pavement known among them as the Beach because of the sunburn to be gotten there. Among them are vaudeville artists who have seen better days, comics, hooters, stooges, acrobats, adagio dancers and brazen frauds who have nothing better to do than lie about their exploits in Big Time" An unkempt and bedrag- gled beggar shuffles over to mooch a dime. His eyes are almost moist with tears, his mouth artfully twist cd in self-despair and his plea is that both his mother and father are dying. He has been telling that tale for three years and has pan- handled enough to keep his near and distant relatives in comfort.

New York, June 1o-slowly, hesi- tantly, as strangers in strange land, the French have come back to Paris. At least am assured by @ colleague (newly returned aboard the Queen Mary) that those small ish, quick, excitable people whom he saw upon the blooming boulevards actually were French. They even talked the language.
 After years of being elbowed out of their own cafes by playful and moneyed voyagers from North and South America, the French again are getting Q clear view of their capital much less obstructed by foreign tourists. For the fattening of the franc in relation to the dol- lar and the reticence of Latin American countries to permit their national currencies to go abroad, have acted to keep Americans at home.
 My colleague adds that a more interesting Paris is now on view than the boom-time city which went about the business of turing Americans by the paradoical meth cd of making itself up-with Amer ican bars, American soda fountains, American stage shows and Ameri- can restaurants-to look more like America than America did itself. Paris Patter
 More columnistic mama from Paree:
 It seems that on night when an orange moon hung over Mont parnasse, my friend observed two coffee- a n d cream complexioned Harlem expatriates, each slipping her fine a l'eau in an obscure cor- ner of an obscure night spot known as the Dingo. One turned out to be Adelaide Hall, whose name few years ago stood in tall bright letters opposite that of Bill Robinson when they co-starred in the fast-stepping "Blackbirds" on Broadway. (She's looking for vaguely defined "break" in a Paris night club.
 Her companion was none other than Brick Top" that strident- voiced, Lenox avenue gone Champs Elysees Texas Guinan whose caba- rets were known to all but the more cautious Americans who made the Paris rounds during the better years. Hopeful, she plans to open a new night club.
 All Paris now is humming with and humming a song which, In popularity and dizziness, is a French counterpart of "The Music Goes Round and Around" It's Trout Va Tres Bien, Madame Ia Marquise" ("Everthing is going very well, Ma dame Ia Marquise"). It was intro- duced by Ray Ventura, a bandsman whose showmanship is unexcelled even in America the land of jGzz and Maurice Chevalier tremem- berO is further popularizing 1t in @ revue.
 A rival for Lucienne Boyer, the French songstress who panicked Broadway, is tanning LA. E. c. Theatre, the famous Parisian va riety hall, to the rafters. She's a 1.-the, classic featured blonde, Lys Gauty, who tritters sentimental love songs that never leave a dry eye in the house. And Betty Spells comedy tunes at the Bomino in Montparnassc, are producing symptoms of hysteria in her aud itors. New York may sec both of them.

Hollywood Gossip
BY PAIL HARRISON

(NEA service StaM COrreBpOmUengD
 Hollywood--Jack Altman, who is short, stocky, 47, and only mildly philosophical, is not one to. sit around meditating on why the Lord put into this world such unpleasant things as scorpions, flies. and snakes.
 MT. Altman has found . very good use for noxious insects and reptiles. He makes them into movie actors. Heavies, of course. They do the work and he pockets their wages. Good wages, too; Q dozen cockroacheS may earn $l5 Q day for him.
 It Is not by accident that All- man specializes in renting loath- some creatures. He discovered long ago that there was a big de- mand for them. The list of var- hints on his business card in- cludeS gila monsters, iguanas, Chi- ncse dragons, grave robbers, liz- ards, snakes, and cave bats. All kinds of insects, from fleas to centipedes and tarantulas. Also buzzardsand vultures.
 When Q studio wants a cobra, Altman takes his favorite bull snake and fits e title hood, bon- net-like, on its head. He says he has copyrighted the hood, which is made of black rubber, That was the kind of cobra he supplied for "Lives of Q Bengal Lancer" It earned $lb0 Q day.
 Particular Serpent
 Once Q studio was planning to film an Adam-and-Eve sequence for c picture, and the director or- dered Altman to train Q serpent to climb out of o tree and take bite from on apple that Eve was holding, Altman failed. The snake would de- scend all right, and was perfectly willing to take Q bite of Eve. But 1t just didn't care for apples.
 Altman sometimes doubles for stars in scenes with snakes. He doubled for Gloria Swanson once and for Jack Holt His collection
