NEW YORK. June 24-Of all

Broadway has nurtured none who
has enlivened the Rialto lore with
so many rollicking tales as Will

He has whipped d show into
shape in five feverish days and
started out gloriously optimistic on
a barn Storming trip that would
often wind up on some dreary depot
platform with the village sheriff
in command of the trunks, scenery
and any other negotiable assets
But he comes back to Broadway,
smiling and chuck-a-luck with a
fresh crop of ideas. And with all
his vicissitudes he manages to ap-
pear snappily dressed. Recently he
became general manager for Billy
Rose but the Rialto expects him
back. He's trouper to the core.

Girl Wrote Badly
So Daddy Invents
Writing Machine

LOUISVILLE, KY. Jan. 81. -
Charles Lorber went into a new
business because his young daughter
got bad marks in school.
Doris didn't like to write" he
explains. "She would draw, but writ
ing was out. I figured that if I
could combine writing with a game
of some kind, she would work at
it,"
So Lorber got some cardboard and
traced deep grooves in the shape
of letters He laid a sheet of trans-
parent paper over the cardboard
and invited Doris to trace. Later he
grooved only the start and finish OF
the letters, leaving the body for Dor
is to fill in herself. The next month
she got &c" in penmanship, instead
of an "F."
But before this report came home
Lorber had decided that he had
something, and applied for patents.
The more he worked with his charts
the more ideas he had To letters he
added figures, then whole words.
Then he sold out his key case
business and prepared to manufac-
ture writing charts.

EVANSTON. ILL.,, Jan. 2l.--Incli-
nation to control children with in
Vulnerable don't" rules has brought
from DR.. Alvin c. Rambar, North
western University pediatrician, a
few "donts" for parents.
Dent pay too much attention
to children's dramatic tantrums.
If you cannot bear TO watch them,
go into another room. Nothing will
check tantrums better than COM
plete indifference by parents.
Don't take too much stock in
the belief that children should be
seen and not heard A child likes
to feel he is important. Include
him in your conversation and in
your plans. This helps develop the
child's sense of Importance and
willingness to cooperate.
Don't be inconsistent. That re-
suits in confusion, loss of conf
dence and disobedience.
Don't tell a child he must eat
something because 1t is good for
him or 80 the food won't go to waste
Don't compare his eating habits
with those of other children. Chill
dren have individual food tastes,
and if let alone will take an amount
that is normal for them.

Thousands of these, mostly of Am

A huge toll of cars and trucks has

Dummy Musicians Elimin-

He Gets In
by ROBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 81. -
Mickey Whalen never liked the idea
cf being dummy musician
Most screened orchestras are COM
posed of dummy musicians These
can play, but the camera requires
only that they pretend to play. The
music is dubbed in" later.
Mickey got his idea when, on the
sets between scenes, the dummy
orchestra would get requests for
tunes to brighten things up. Its
members we're strangers to each
other, had never rehearsed together,
hence the requests could not be
filled. Mickey decided little Or
ganization would help.
He had had his first band in
Arkansas. He had been a soloist
with George Olsen, had sung in
opera and played the guitar, vio-
lin and trumpet. 1t was his voice
that brought him to movies. He
sang in jeanette MacDonald's first
picture, Love Parade and en-
barked on 81, a career as a dummy
musician"

Those requests for music on the
sets made him organize an orches-

and between scenes in response to
requests. He chose musician-actors

His toughest job was to sell
his orchestra to the directors, whose
yes" or mo" decided whether he
could entertain the stars between
scenes. w. S. Van Dyke would have
him play a few bars in a scene, but
none afterward. Mickey kept his ears
open and one day heard the direc-
tor humming Might and Day.
After the next scene the orchestra
broke into that tune-and broke the
ice
Mickey's orchestra prides itself on
its versatility. Requests range from
hillbilly tunes to opera, and the
gang has a repertory of 705 must
