In lie, are OF the same So
cial status and faith and find COM
plete enjoyment in one another's COM
pany, so we are thinking of trying out
the plan of community living. We be-
lieve this to be the modern answer to
the social problem of young people
who desire to marry and cannot af-
ford to do so. BY community living
we mean five couples sharing the same
living quarters, but with a great de-
gree of privacy. Each couple contrib
uting to the general fund, which
would pay rent, food and incidentals
Would you think this at all possible
or advisable if each inan earned at
least s25 a week? THE A. c. AS.
Answer-There is no plan that works
out so well on paper as community liv-
ing. Taking your case an an example.
you can easily prove that five married
couples can rent one house that would
hold them all for much less money
than they could set up five individual
homes. Provisions bought in guam
tity are cheaper than those purchased
in dabs. Many of the overhead ex-
penses are the same for one family or
for five, and with five able-bodied
women to divide the housework
among themselves the domestic serv-
ice problem would be eliminated with
no one overtaxed.
NOTHING is such an extravaganza
as individual housekeeping. For
many years I lived in large apart
ment building that housed 81 families,
and I often thought of how wasteful
it was for 81 women to be ordering 81
portions Of food every morning and
81 cooks to be cooking it, and the rent
being paid on 81 dining rooms in
which to eat. when for the same ex-
pense we could have hired the finest
chef In the city and dined like Lu-
cullus, instead of eating plain fare
made palmer by an inefficient servant.
The trouble so far with community
living has been one Of temperament
and not finance. Jealousies, selfish
ness and tempers have always wrecked
the experiment. We have not learned
how to live together, how to be just
and fair, how to keep our fingers out
of each others pies, and how not to
feel that We have right to run our
radios with the loud speaker on, but
the people next door should be pro-
hibited from having a cornet.

DEAN ACKERMAN
 ON FREE PRESS
Columbia University Head of Journalism Strikes
 at Some Critics

New York, Nov. 27-UP)-"Short- sighted" criticism by some newspa- per publishers, calculated to picture President Roosevelt as "an enemy of Q free press," may force him to seize upon radio and motion pic- lures as counter weapons" Dean Carl w. Alderman, of the Columbia University School of Journalism, said today in his annual report.
 He said that publishers who use the independence of the press "as political excuse to find fault or a license to condemn" constitute the greatest threat to freedom of the press.
 Time to Make Changes
 T think 1t is time for those who are interested in democracy and in the profession of journalism" he said. ito reestablish and confirm the constructive connotation of the free- dom of the press.
 T think we have reached the bot tom of the public usefulness of many types of criticism. refer SDcClllCdlAy " 3ACoAACAAv AsSSSSvSsSS V attacks on the integrity of business enterprise and to the personal at- tacks on the chief executive.
 "The preaching of industrial, finan- cial and political damnation has reached the limit of public credulity.
 Has Other Weapons
 "Furthermore, those who are so short sighted as to think that they can checkmate President Roosevelt by making him appear to be an enemy of g free press will force him into the position of using the radio and motion picture as counter weapons. We are dangerously near that alternative today and only the new leadership of the profession of Journalism will save us from the mistake of sacrificing independent journalism to political partisanship."
 He suggested that newspaper owners "conflne themselves to busi- ness and give their editors and man. aging editors supervision over pulp lie policies and editorial personnel"

New, BIOck-Iong CasinO-PluS Shortage of ReyelerS
 Leaves Empty Tables In BrOadway'S Small Clubs
 .Dins Luster
 of Night Life

New York, Nov. 27- The abrupt demise of that man. moth cabaret, the lavish French Casino, is the first major casualty in Broad ways raging cafe war. The French Casino was the oldest, largest and most secure tenn pie of night life on the Rialto.
 It was-until the International Casino cana along, with behemoth interior, a costly hoorShow and an investment of more than half mil- lion dollars behind 1t. When the International opened, cafe men trembled and so did their auditors, as business fell of and customers patronized their formidable rival.
 So the French Casino closed. Its sudden 4Dwoon can be wholly attrib- uted to the International Casinos arrival. There is talk that another big table d'hote place with lavish fioorshow will put up the shutters shortly and that many smaller night clubs only are awaiting the Christ mas and New Years hauls before they bar their doors.
 Proving what? Well, this, for eX- ample: That despite what you hear New York doesn't have enough rounders or revelling, visiting fire men to support the number of night clubs, big and small, that have sprung up. And that @ surfeit of giant cabarets on Broadway, each with a seating capacity of more than @ thousand, will spell doom for them all. For (this Is sotto voce) even the International with all its vast ness and splendor, isn't minting coin, though 1t Is pulling the crowds.
 Anyway, the passing of the French Casino is giving the night club irn- presarios food for thought. Extrava- gant as they have been in the past, they no longer care to flood the midnight market with cabarets that look like the wide open spaces. Two maybe three-on Broadway are enough.

Film Magic Strikes a Snag
 Without a Sign Of a Blush
Color Movie Dilemma Creates Red Faces but Not on the Right People William Powell "Steals" the Horse Show

the young leading men become when they're locked in the arms of some of our more torrid clinchers. A Horse on Him
 One of this departments friends in New York relays a little story from the recent National Horse Show in Madison Square Garden. William Powell was a visitor one night as a guest of Mrs. John Hay Whitney.
 Horse show crowds, particularly at the Garden, are pretty thor oughly immune to celebreties. After all, scores of famous people are actual participants-eXhibitors and riders and drivers. Also the spectators are there to see horses and not to collect autographs.
 A saddle horse class was in the ring, lined up for judging, when Powell arrived. As the judges walked along the line, sizing up the entries, the crowd kept up a mild round of applause for its favorite horses.
 Just as the movie actor entered the Whitney box the show judges approached an especially popular horse and there was resounding burst of handclapping. MT. Powell arose and made deep bow.
 Strictly personal: Best still camera study in Hollywood is Marlene Dietrich. Knows how to pose herself, and insists on doing 1t. A full-length mirror must be placed close beside the camera. and by peeping in the glass the actress knows just how she'll look to the lens.
 The same routine is followed for some of her movie scenes, espe- cially those in which she strikes 0 languorous pose.
 Worst still-camera study is Bing Crosby. Won't keep appointments for sittings, won't dress up for portraits, and won't sit still when finally cornered by the lens-men.
 Too little vanity is a rare thing in a player, but when it occurs it drives studio people crazy.
 Gary Cooper hates to shave, and his black jowls are great trial to cinematographers who have to get the lighting just right. Bette Davis is the only actress who'll permit herself to be photographed at unflattering times, such as in her dressing room with hair awry and makeup only half applied.
 Charlie Chaplin cuts his own
 hair. Hates barber shops and
 may go only six or eight times
 a year. Meanwhile he trims the
 edges himself.
 Heather Thatcher wears a mon- ocle, but not as an affectation. One eye needs a special glass.
 At banquets and benefits, black Bill Robinson always begins his speech by looking around the room and observing, "Well. I guess I'm the only Gentle here!"

 Hollywood.-Up to now, movie magicians seem to have been able to accomplish anything - earth- quakes, hurricanes, cataclysms and holocausts. They can do ghosts and other disembodies effects. They can make 8 person look like somebody else, and they can use one persons singing for another persons acting. They can turn back time.
 But now, with the coming of Technicolor, the screens scientific sorcery is stymied by simple lit tie emotional reaction-the blush.
 Wild Bill Wellman, who hopes never to direct another picture in black and white, brought up the problem of the blush the other day, and it has been keeping me awake nights. Whats to be done about it. anyway?
 Wellman skipped the true grav- ity of the problem by saying merely that from now on, actresses will have to learn how to blush. He should have blushed when he saio it. He knows as well as you and ] do that no actress save perhaps the most dewy ingenue can stir in her cheeks the flame of modesty or confusion.
 Can you imagine Mae West blushing? Or Carole Lombardi Or Greta Garbo?
 The hands and legs of unknown women sometimes double in close ups for those of stars, but the blush is something that couldn't be dubbed in. Also there's a prob- lem of flaming, embarrassed face when none is called for in the script.

STATE

One of the finest pictures yet brought to the talking screen, using a giant submarine as Its subject is submarine D-1" a new thriller of this department of the naval service on display for four days starting to- day at Warner Brothers State the- ater.
 In this melodrama, packed with excitement and countless thrills Warner Brothers have placed bril- liant cast of players including the ever popular Pat O'Brien, George Brent, Wayne ("Kid Galahad") Morris, Frank McHugh and Doris Weston.
 The producers are indebted to the U. s. Navy Department who gave invaluable cooperation and opened its submarine bases at San Diego, Cocos Coco in the canal zone and at Newport, R. l., for many ot the sequences of the story.
 The story of the D-1 was written by Commander Frank Wead, U. s. N., who was the author of Ceiling LcIO dIlQ OLLiCA oOtt6V uAAd oSASSAA hits. Technical advisors were pres- ent at all times during the making of the picture, and guaranteed its authenticity. ....
 Submarine D-1" is picture that will delight every member of the family.
 The second big attraction on this program is "There Goes the Groom a light comedy that abounds ir laughs and amusing situations. Anr Sothern, Burgess Meredith ant Mary Roland are seen in the leading parts.
 A point to remember is the fact that late corners can always arrive at the State in time to see the last screening of t,le future attraction ji they plan to be there by 9:3( nightly.

STRAND

Performances tonight conclude the engagement of Wife, Doctor and Nurse, also Charlie Chan on Broadway" current attractions at Warner Brothers Strand theater.
 Tomorrow's grand new show will be headlined by Joan Crawford's new success, "The Bride Wore Red"
 With the lovely star are her dis tinguished actorzhusband, Franchot Tone and Robert Young in romantic competition. Others in the cast whose performances are noteworthy are Reginald Owen and Billie Burke, Lynne Carver, George Zucco and Dickie Moore.
 The story describes the dramatic adventures of charming girl who rose from poverty to wealth and then gained spiritual riches in love. It is, of course, Cinderella up-to- date, but this one is dated every night in the modern manner. Miss Crawford handles the part with flnesse.
 Settings for "The Bride Wore Red'' offer unusual scenic effects. The gay night life of Trieste's cosmo- politan waterfront brings new and invigorating locale to the screen. In contrast much of the action was filmed in the High Sierras 10000 feet up among snow-capped peaks and the June Lake district where the company was on location sev- eral weeks.
 The companion feature will be "They Won't Forget" vivid drama and thrilling love story that serves to introduce four new stars and be- comes the newest milestone in screen history" Claude Rains, Glo- ria Dickson, Edward Norris, Otto Kruger and Allyn Joslyn head the fine cast of players who make this production a screen epic.

Genial Host

Appearing with the Mastersingers as vocal soloists were Clifford Hir- sch, baritone who offered pleasing concert in several encores, Clifford Doolittee, Wilby High school youth, and his guitar, Miss Eileen Daly, 11-year-old soloist; Philip Guertin, popular entertainer, Charles Wilson, tenor and Jim Carty. The chorus also presented an arrangement of several numbers by Sigmund Ron- berg and Victor Herbert.
 Other principals during the Col onials part of the nights entertain ment included Miss Mae Cow, sim ger; Tillie Grasso in songs and dances, and John Grappone, Water- bury's Bobby Breen.
 Waterbury patients who were hosts to the troupe include George Karnofsky, George Topske, Ralph Engleson, Jack Dwyer, William Cashin, John Mckay and George Herkmeyer. Percy Maxwell and Louis Schiller of Naugautck are also confined to the hospital and took occasion to send regards to friends on the outside.
 Captain J. Peter Costigan, Ed wyad Keenan, Joseph Cunningham, Frank x. Downs and John P. Barry president of the Waterbury Veter- ans Council, and others of the committee, today expressed their appreciation to members of the troupe for their fine performance and also to the members of carious veterans units of the city who as- sisted with their cars in providing transportation.
 After the show the troupe ad- journey to Jim Carty's Inn on the Meriden-Hartford Road, at Berlin Turnpike in Newington, where Jim proved to be a capable host. Dinner refreshments and entertainment were enjoyed.

Chinese Food

Darned nreliable-these Chinese. As witness: the Chinese embassy in New York gave luncheon the other day at Chow Mein Inn, an epicurean haunt in the Times Square district. There were 15 Chinese officials and some Americans and when the or ders were taken, 1t was ascertained that most of the slant-eyed visitors had ordered ham and eggs while the few local boys had uniformly re- quested Cantonese chow mein.
 A plethora of Chinese eating places, incidentally, has settled upon the town, and especially in the Times Square district. There are at least two dozen Oriental restaurants from one end of the Rialto to the other; and one of them is cafeteria where naught but Oriental dishes are dispensed in serve-yourself style. The others vary in caste and quality but there are three that are frequented by the most demanding devotees of an

Oriental Cuisine. These are the Canton Village the House of Flu Manchu (the chef is more imagina- tive than the man who christened it), and Ruby Foo's, 8 branch of the Ruby Foo's in Boston which is famed around the country.
 Those Occidentals, though, who are exacting in their tastes still in- sist upon journeying to Mott and Pell strets for their Chinese din- ners. And Lum Fong's on Canal street gets a great deal of the celeb rity trade. This is one place where a truly astronomical masterpiece must be ordered day or two in ad- vance.
