NEW YORK, jan. 29.-Thoughts
while strolling: Why not scrap for
a spell the torch singers, off-pitch
crooners and ism plays? And SUBJ
stitute a little of the jovial slap
stick of English music halls with
some tunes and lyrics no more COM
plicated than The Good Old Sum-
mer Time?
Look alikes: Randolph Scott and
Eddie Peabody. Add highly efficient
private secretaries: Julia Kelly, Of
the Hays office. Crack Play bally-
hooist: Nat Dorfman. The Countess
Abby who wears shoes without
heels. And over in Europe there
are a few countesses who haven't
| even shoes.
With long white hair and whis-
kers Hendrix Van Loon would make
a peachy Santa Claus. And with
stovepipe hat and side-burns, Dud-
| ley Field Malone is the John Bull
on Punch's cover. Fifth avenues
best dressed clerk, Albert Mander.
And does he wear tight collars?
When bushier coiffures are worn,
Peggy Fears will have one. Highly
talented Arthurs: McKeogh, Sam
uels and Baer. From the Follies to
Othello at the New Amsterdam. A
big gap in film fare until w. C.
Fields gets on the job again. Grind
ing teeth sort of name: Crosby
Gaige.
Rhymes: Mae Murray is a gal in
a hurry. And Bill Corum is one
man forum. Ali the dolls doing
their hair in the middle-the Simp-
son influence! Or is it Lynn Fon-
tanne's? That Top knocking me
over to keep date at the Ritz.
Hope he gets whirled silly in a
revolving door or something.
The town now has a cafe dance
place devoted entirely to the rhum-
ba. A Cuban friend tells me the
correct pronunciation. despite radio
batting, is "room-bah" The new
spot started off auspiciously and
is going great guns. 1t depends
very little on the Cuban clientele
Many of the local fast steppers have
eschewed the graceful tango for the
newer epilepsy. The most expert
are said to be Jules Glaenzer, Err
skine Gwynne and Jimmy Donohue.
Nazimova in her bleak Ibsen plays
has acquired a personal following
as definite as that of Ruth Draper,
the mimic. When she appears in
Hedda Gabler, Ghosts or the like
she is assured of a packed house
for several weeks. It's cultured
audience. long lost to the theatre.
Everybody hangs on her words. The
old you-could- -pin-drop at
mosphere. And at the conclusion,
sans claque, the sincerest applause
TO be heard in the modern theatre.

CRIMINAL SYNDfCALfSM
AND ANTf-PTCKETING LAWS

Among the record number of propos-
ais awaiting action by the California
state legislature are bills which would
repeal the states criminal syndicalism
law and make city and county anti
nickefing ordinances unlawful. Both
proposals fully merit disapproval by
the legislators, because both would serve
merely to coddle the most undesirable
elements among the states population.
The criminal syndicalism law makes
il unlawful for any person to advocate
overthrow of the American government
bv force and violence-yet some indi-
viduals want to repeal it. Anti-picketing
ordinances protect California farmers
from trespass by belligerant strikers.
Yet these same individuals would make
these ordinances, too, illegal.
There has been too much leniency al
ready shown to the enemies of progress
and democracy. If you disagree with
the American form of government, it
is your right to say so. If you attempt
to organize bloody revolution against
il. that is another matter. Our govern
ment must be changed by votes, or not
at all Those who attemp to use other
means are enemies of every man. There
should be law to penalize them.
So too. is it your business if you wish
to strike in protest against unfair con-
ditions, or conditions you consider I'M
fair. That is your right. But it is not
YOUR right, having struck, to occupy an
other mans property by force-literally
taking it away from him. The anti-pick.-
citing ordinances guard against just
that. They are necessary weapons
against ruthless invasion of property
rights.

us.
That is a nice resolve to make.
but it looks very much as IL some
one down in Washington hasn't
heard about it.
For when you consider the
strength of our navy and the ire
mendous strategic Importance of our
isolated position, you will find 1t
very hard to believe that we need
such an expensive army purely for
defensive purposes.
Someone must be working on the
theory that we are going to be
fighting another overseas war some
day. The army program doesn't
make sense on any other basis.
This isn't said in criticism of the
army authorities. They don't shape
policy; they shape the military pro-
gram to fit policies laid down by
their civilian superiors.
And those superiors must have
tipped them off to the fact that the
administration isn't casting our
army for a purely defensive role.
Let's hope the congressional SUBJ
committee takes time to find out
about ii.

"A LITTLE MATTER
OE GAG LEGISLATION

Before the state legislature are bills
which would. if made into law, regulate
the advertising of optometrists, watch
makers. jewellers, cosmetics. chiropodists
and LIQUOR dealers. Newspapers OF the
state will oppose the bills almost as
single unit-but not for the reason
thought of first by the average layman;
not because of possible loss OF revenue
Any loss of revenue from such regula-
s3on would be such a minute part OF news
naper operation that it would be unim-
norfant to the men who write the states
editorials. To them, there is far more
Snportant thing. 1t is the right to say
lat they think when they please.
" In these days of centralized authority
and regulation of almost everything UNI
der the sun, there have been several at
tempts in state and national legislatures
TO impose restrictions on the freedom of
the press. Either they have failed, or
they have been declared uncoHt itution-

tory bills are defeated, not taken into

The bills before the state legislature
might not lay down rules for editors
TO abide By. Neither does the founda-
ton stone for dwelling provide liv-
ing room for the house-it is only a
foundation. These bills, which would
establish precedent IN regulation Of
printed matter, might be nothing more
( than q foundation for far more serious
infringement Of the rights Of free speech
The objection is not specifically directed
against these proposals: it is directed
against the idea Of regulating what edi-
tors may say and what readers may

watch him out of sight. And If
he was not totally oblivious he is a
grand actor, too.
Next to General Pershing and
for his years, the late De Wolff
Hopper had the most commanding
carriage to be seen on the high
ways. The Ritz's Albert Keller is
another headturner when he gets
into the stride of his Park avenue

Greatness Is thrust upon Actress
Margaret Irving. who is informed
by French lawyer she is none
L other than the "Duchesse De Ma
varre," and entitled to be called
your Grace" by all lesser people.
Implied nobility is honorary only,
since all French titles are extinct.
That makes Miss Irving's Grace an
extinct duchess, which she inherits
straight from Henry Of Navarro and
Margaret of Valois, who are also
extinct.
The duchess (extincD says she
recalls a family tradition her an
cestors had something to do with
Henry, but she never suspected she
was the last of the clan. 1t seems
her old folks moved to Nova Scotia
somewhere near 1900, about the
same time Navarro was pegging out
as Henry W, king of France.
AT any rate, Duchess Irving is
some 10 generations and 2048 grand
parents removed from her illustrious
forebear. Figuring three generations
to the century, and everybody mas
four grandparents.
If it's all a gag, Duchess Irving
says the barb is not yet apparent,
for the lawyer made it clear there
is no estate connected with the
title. A coat of arms and complete
genelogy were promised by the next
mail.
So far the only recognition OF the
Irving nobility here is her casting
as "The Duchess" in RKO's abridg-
ed film version of Brete Hartes

being extinct, however, that Ouch

EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING
Pasadena Star-NeWSj

At recent hearing in Pasadena before the
state senate and state assembly interim commit
tees ON agricultural marketing. very striking facts
were brought out streSSng the value or news
paper advertising in the sale of products OF the
farm and orchard. 1t was testified by farm and
orchard experts that last years surplus OF Cali
fornia canned peaches amounting to some 5000
600 cans. was marketed by concerted drive OF
business publicity centered upon newspapers OF
the country as media, which soon disposed of the
surplus and made way for this years crop Of
California peaches
This was one of many tests that are made
from time to time that prove the intrinsic value
of newspaper advertising in the selling OF staple
products. 1t was minated at this hearing that
producers and Gamers this year viii carry on
very extensive campaign of publicity of this
years pack of peaches and other California fruits
It also was brought out in this nearing that
this widespread advertising helped to create
nationwide demand for California fruit. In the
advertising everywhere the word California was
stressed. This is a convincing demonstration OF
the selling power of newspaper advertising
