sion despite the fact that the
platinum-tressed actress has
been accepted by the public
these many seasons.
At least, the Jean Harlow
pay envelope has moved
steadily toward the higher
income brackets, and they
pay off in Hollywood on
your popularity rating at the
box office-and not with
critics.
Robert Taylor is as new to
me as he is to you. I accept
the verdict of the Hollywood
veterans that no cleaner or
nicer boy ever climbed to
overnight success than this
M-G-M reigning favorite,
that popularity has swelled
his bank account, but not his
head.
However, since adulation
and money and admiring
crowds are synonymous
with screen achievement,
and since many of the
younger stars are lifted
from obscurity into the
fierce glow of the publicity
floodlights in a fast whirl,
you can hadly blame them
if they suffer from a mild
case of exaggerated ego.
Marsha Hunt, of Para
mount, dropped in noncha-
lantly while I was writing
this and picked out the
photograph of herself which
you may see on this page.
A year ago Marsha was
a photographers model for
magazine art; since then she
has clicked on the screen,
and Paramount's Hollywood
studio has sent me not less
than 200 photos of their pet
starlet in the most ravishing
apparel.

night is one that she wore

it in Washington for the
glory of Zukor and COM
pany.
Rufus Blair, of Holly
wood, instructed your edi-
tor, by mail, to give pretty
Miss Marsha a great big
hug for him. Caryl N. Odell,
her Paramount escort, said
it would be quite all right.
But I believe in dignity at
all times. 1t is a tip off,
though, that little Miss Hunt
stands ace high with the
publicity department, and a
definite sign she is neither
overwhelmed nor puffed up
by the success that seems to
be coming her way. For the
press agents hate stars Suf-
fering from initiation.

personal nature.

from his current picture, B. P.

for which, incidentally, he had to
purchase four new outfits befit-
ting the affectations of a bang-up
gambling man, Cortez summarized
the cost of his professional ward

of $11,609:
Eighty-six suits at 500 each

This tabulation represents but
the initial cost.
In order to keep the wardrobe
rotating, proper garments for all
seasons, characterizations and in
accordance with etiquette, accord
ing to Cortez, demand an ex-
penditure of at least $500
yearly!
Strangely enough, and no one
seems to know just why, male
stars purchase their own gar
ments whereas most studios supply
those worn by women.
Rumors go the rounds to the
effect that 1t Is because women
are not natural StylistS like men.
To date, however, no one has had
sufficient courage to claim origin
of the rumor.

CULVER CITY, Calf, Jan. 80.
It is with the mingled sensations
of having emerged from some
lovely dream and of having been
hit over the head with a black
jack that one leaves the theater
after seeing Irving Thalberg's
THE Good Earth"
It sets new high mark. When
bigger and better pictures are
made, it may be eclipsed, but until
then it will be the top, and this,
mind you, is old Wodehouse
speaking, a man who notoriouSly
has never been a puShover for
Chinese.
If anyone had told me a week
ago that the time would come
when I would be tearing great
chunks out of my seat, roofing
for a bevy of Chinese fighting
locusts, 1 would have laughed
lightly. But you should have
Seen me.
All High Spots
The locust sequence, is OF
course, the supreme high spot of
the picture, and is one of those
screen miracles which leave you
gaSping. But there are so many
other high spots that it does not
stick out like a sore thumb, but
comes rather as the eliminating
chord of a great anthem. You
might say that THE Good Earth"
is all high spots, there is not a
dull moment in it.
The story follows that of the
novel closely. It has all the charm
and humanity and sincerity of the
original. There have been cases in
the past where authors have
howled like wolves and threatened
injunctions on seeing the screen
version of their masterpiece, but
not this time, Miss Pearl Buck
will enjoy her visit.

the picture.
No. All these are good, but the
bouquet must be divided in equal
parts between Paul Mum and
Louise Rainer, who as Wang ana
O-L'an SurpaSs all their previous
efforts. Not even in Fugitive
From a Changing" and "The
Great Ziegfeld" were they so
epochmaking and breath-taking;
it is their performance that makes

more closely as she brings her
baby to be exhibited at the great
house. Watch Paul MUM when he
is talking about the red eggs. In
fact, it would be as well to watch
them both closely all the time.
Then you will miss nothing Of
two of the finest performances
that the screen has seen.

Rate May Do Raised
Sometime age there appeared a
news item relative to the high
grand list In Cheshire. IT u Indeed
high enough but fortunately our tax
rate Is low, being only ~ mills. The
great danger, however, Us that the
selectmen may try to raise the rate
as they are now saying that IT does
not yield enough IN taxes to run the
town. The adjourned town meet
ing to be held the first Monday in
March will soon be held and 1t Is
hoped that the selectmen will ex-
plain why q number Of items have
been increased from year to year.
An article appearing IN one OF the
daily papers relating to the possi-
bility Of the new jail farm being
located In Cheshire says that the
Idea has not much support from
Cheshire citizens. 1t said that the
establishment Of the farm here
might present dangers to the. people
of Cheshire. 1t Is rather difticult to
understand just what Is meant by
that. The state reformatory has
been here for q number OF years,
since 1918, and no instance Is re-
called where inmates Of that tllsti-
tuition have done any damage to any
Of the citizetlry Of Cheshire.
On the contrary, quite q few
Cheshire residents have received
employment at the institution as
officers and instructors and much
money has been received from these
men by local merchants. The es-
Enlistment Of q jail farm would
furnish work for more residents and
bring more money into the nier-
chants Of our town.
The inmates of this jail farm
would be the short term type who
ere confined for minor offeuses, 1t
u believed, such as the 80, 60. 90
days types. etc. The erection OF the
necessary buildings would also fur
ilish work for local tradesn1etl. II
the objection is because Of the fact
that the institution would be tax
free It must not be forgotten that
i5laily new houses have and are being
erected here In Cheshire which win
bring. IN considerable money 70 the
