silhouette will you choose from among
the many offered this year? And
which OF the historic periods that have
Influenced these styles do you favor
most? Let us see what they are.
When 1t comes to historic back
ground, there is a wider scope than
usual In the material that has been
used for inspiration. Most important
Is the ornate Louis Quinze period
l7l5-1774, from which has been
taken themes Of decorative embroid-
cries. rich fabrics, the bowknot motif
which you will see used again and
again, and the use OF warm pastel
colors.
The Directoire ball held this Summer
in Paris is responsible for the appear
ance OF many Drectoire features such
as very high waistlines and very low
necklines, principally shown in eve

18o0s showing flowing skirts and
sashes, the crinolines of the 185Os,
also added to the source material

Literature

BY ANGELO PATRI.

A LITTLE girl writes to say that
she Is going to ask me = hard

I could have Just three books, and
no more, no more forever and ever
which three books would I choose
to keep with me?
That isn't hard for me at all. You
see I have lived with those three
books now for 4 good many years and
they never have failed to give me
comfort, enjoyment and education
They are the Bible. Shakespeare, and
the dictionary.
I have many more books, many

an old truth and sets it more truly
to my ear. But the three old books
are my dependence. When the others
nave nothing to say to me, as happens
sometimes, these always have.
I am perfectly willing, very happy
indeed, to share these three with the
children. They ought to be within
reach Of every child who can read
I'd like them all to know the Twenty
third Psalm, the story Of creation and
the Book OF Proverbs. Job will come

Shakespeare reviews life In terms

ties OF literature, OF human character

date. he will never grow stale. Always
he will be \ well Of delight. BY all
means Shakespeare.
The dictionary Is priceless. There.

LAST CHANCE TO SEE
DODSON THRILLERS
Features Being
Arranged for Farewell
Performance

This afternoon and tonight will
be the last opportunity to see the
Dodson's Worlds Fair Shows play
ing at the Fairgrounds in con-
nection with National Antietam
Celebration.
An unusual situation has arisen
since the shows have been in
Hagerstown. 1t is said that the
"half woman-half man, Frances
Francis, is having an awful time,
according to the press agent. The
male half is smitten on a pretty
girl living in Sharpsburg and the
female part is in love with a
youthful farmer not seven miles
from here. Jealousy has arisen
between the "halves" and there is
family row brewing. The man.
ager of the "50-5Op human is
striving to prevent an outburst'
when the people are viewing the
strange marvel. And, the press
agent queries: when it gets into
court what will be result be?"
Madame Zelma, noted prophet
ess with the Dodson Shows is be-
ing consulted by the Half and
Half individual, and she may be
able to untangle and prevent the
family fussing as well as the law
suit.
The shows will conclude their
local engagement here tonight at
midnight. From here they go to
Portsmouth, Ohio. If you have
not already seen "Zacchini, The
Human Cannon Ball." the Four
Sensational Jacks and Ogla and
Egle, free acts with the Dodsons,
by all means make an effort be-
fore they close. These are acts
that are sure to thrill you. And
who is it that does not like to be
thrilled?

JACK OAKIE AND

MURDER MYSTERY
Novel Picture at Acad.
envy Theatre Monday
and Tuesday

Something new in murder NV,
terles brings Jack Oakie tn tbo
screen as an amateur detective IN
'Super4Sleuth," with Ann Sotbarr
co-starred. Unlike the usual RIM
of mystery pictures, this story
makes no secret of the killers
identity. He is established early
in the story, and the suspense op
the picture is derived from tba
attempts of the murderer to slav
Oakie, who believes him to be his
friend.
Brittle dialogue, farcical com.
edy, dizzy romance and exciting
physical action are combined to
offer the two stars one Of the
most unique of screen vehicles
Oakie is cast as a famous
screen sleuth whose hobby is
Dragging about his ability to solve
crimes even off the screen. After
receiving poison pen" warning
and witnessing the murder of an.
other screen star who is mistaken
for him, the would-be crime solver
decides it is high time to show
up the police by capturing the
criminal himself. His colossal
conceit decides a ruthless "celeb-
rity killer" to add Oakie to his
long list of movie star victims.
Throughout the ensuing series
of thrilling and hilarious incidents
romance is born between the
boastful bloodhound and the stu.
dio publicity woman, and persists
through vicissitudes to the whirl-

STAR CREATES new
HOLLYWOOD VOGUE
Advent of sonji Henie
Changes Physical Style
In Hollywood

The advent of Sonia Heinie is
noticeably changing the shape of
future Hollywood stars
The lovely star of the Tween
tieth Century-Fox musical hit,
Thin Ice" in which she is team
ed with Tyrone Power, playing all
next week at the Maryland The
atre, has already created a vogue
for similar physical attributes in
new star material, in preference
to the elongated, willowy types of
former years.
Miss Henie is healthy, whole
some, and bubbling with enthu-
siasm and energy. She is CLAM
orously young, vital and pretty,
rather than exotically or anemi-
cally languid. She has the charm
Of the athlete, plus grace and
chic vivacity of sophisticate.
She is definitely and charmingly
curved rather than boyish of fig
ure. Her figure, personality and
talent are models for newcomers
to the screen.
Miss Henie weighs 10 pounds.
For while, before she began her
first picture, Zone In A Million -
she weighed from three to five
pounds more, but lost it during
the production of that picture.
Her constant activity, practicing,
and her personal appearance
tours, keep her weight down to
this figure.
Too active to be either small or
large, the perfect balance of her
skating, ballroom dancing, ten
mis-. walking and horseback rid
ing exercise prevent even the
slightest suggestion of muscular
development so often seen in bal
let dancers. She walks briskly.
Her energy is healthy, and she
talks and moves with birdlike
pertness.
Radiating health, happiness and
fresh young beauty, to which are
added intelligence and distinc-
tive talent, the screen advent of
the three-time Olympic skating
champion marks new beauty
criterion for Hollywood stars.

that such production got under way.
Today it is estimated there are 400
trailer manufacturers in the United
States. Only about 40, however, are
large enough to be of national con-
sequence. Among the 40 is one claim
ing to be the real pioneer and the
largest producer in the country. This
company's output is said to be running
in the neighborhood Of 1000 trailers
q month.
The head Of this company was an
automobile camping fan who con-
ceived an idea of making his chassis
trailer provide sleeping and living
quarters. Each succeeding trailer
building experiment revealed to him
important possibilities and in 1880
he exhibited his latest model at the
Detroit Automobile Show. This re-
suited in batch of orders and he put
20 men to work in small plant, the
nucleus of his present army Of
trailer builders.
The growth of trailering in the pre-
sent decade has been a phenomenon
such as periodically sweeps across the
American scene. Unlike most others
which after a brief reign in glory,
sink into oblivion, it appears to be
destined to much longer life II not
actual permanence.
AS with all innovations, the trailer
industry and trailering are in q state
Of fiux and 1t is quite impossible to
ascertain just how deeply they have
bitten into American life. Some esti-
mates are that a million persons are
now living part or all the time in
