 His friends are worried about William Wellman. The director IS SO brisk, crisp and hard at work on Men With Wings" that he deesn't seem to care about playing jokes any more. And he's even getting along amicably with studio executives!
 Wild Bill Is a famed foe of pro- ducers and supervisors; usually won't have 'em underfoot. John Ford is like that, too; only Ford merely orders them off. the set Wellman used to employ more en- tertaining means.
 When Wellman was directing "Wild Boys of the Road" at War ner Brothers he was conducting a feud with Sam Bischoff, producer of the picture. The latter strolled on an outdoor set one day, set on which stood freight train rid- den by a lot of young hoboes who were gaily feasting on stolen water melons. Wellman climbed on car, picked up a large melon, and drop ped it squarely on the producers head.
 Then he scampered down and while Bischoff was still clawing seeds and fruit from his eyes and hair he assembled the snickering company and indignantly demanded the guilty mans name. Its out rageous!" snorted Wellman. "No discipline. No respect for author ity. And dangerous, too. Why, that trick might have broken MT. Biscchoff's - neck!"

Sans artists perform it friskily, for
this is a frisky play. one of Mr..
Shaw's deftest balancing of coarse,
knockabout comedy and high
thought. Although the production
is still a long way from good, it is
better than the Theater Guilds.
The action gets acted, the words get
said and the play unfolds in the
fashion peculiar unto itself.
1t is a tribute to Mr.. Shaw, that
even though the w. P. A. has de-
prived his play of actors and a di-
rector who know their business and
has spiced it's entr'actes and minor
business with an orchestra that
makes a noise like an iron man
scratching himself, the play remains
an evenings entertainment. The
old cuckoo knows how to keep time.
If you went to school where I did
you called Androcles "Androclus"
and sometimes he was a Roman
slave and sometimes Greek tailor.
Whatever his way of enduring, he
was gentle. he did stumble on lion
suffering from a thorn in its paw,
did extract the thorn and was re-
paid when the lion refused to eat
him in the arena before a Roman
Caesar.
The tale has been used by numer-
Gus ancient and medieval authors to
illustrate various morals, chiefly
that, if you cast your bread upon
the water, you have a chance some
day of feasting on cakes and ale, or
kindness bears compound interest

pied with less mythical matters.

about to be fed to the gladiators or
to the lions, die for the reward prom
ised them by the church-eternal
bliss. But this is merely the body of
martyrdom, not the animating soul.
The animating soul does not know
exactly why it is dying. 1t dies for
nothing, says the handsome Roman
captain who is agile at logic. For
nothing, agrees Lavinia, the martyr

The modern mind, like the Roman
mind or the Greek mind and like
all the minds that man has admired
and called cultured and civilized,
finds itself irritated by such an es-
cape from human reasoning. The
cleric who retreats from a bristling
array of the latest, most modern,
most fashionable scientific "facts"
with the statement, "but the trouble
is you've figured all this out with
such coarse machine as the human
brain; don't you recognize that
there are facts you need a finer
machine to grasp?" Is courting

Another smart fashion and one
that shows off this seasons rich and
beautiful wool weaves to perfection
is the long cape costume. A lux
urious full length tuxedo collar of
wolf embellishes the sweeping lines
of the unlined cape of the distin-
guished wool costume conferred in
the trio of wool fashions here shown.
The cape and the straight slender
skirt are of soft wool in a novel

softly tailored blouse is Of sheer
wool in an open homespun fabric.
The cape theme plays up dramat-
ically in a newcomer on the scene

The suit, which completes stun

longish coats bespeak the last word

Revive Hoopskirts
For Formal Weur

The new fashion program stages
just one excitement after another.
Just to mention a few, there's the
revival of hoopskirts. Yes'm, real
ly and truly hoopskirts! To be sure
they are for formal wear only and
just to calm you down a bit we
don't mind adding that some of the
hoop contrivances are made detach-
able, for they are to be worn
only with the new wide-skirted gala
night frocks.
There is the new high-on-top-head
hair-do! Gaining right along though
many are loath to give up the youth
full, practical bob, be it long or short.
With the amazing new "dol hats"
high hairdress is correct answer.
Sleeves! Just watch them! Leg o.
mutton types, dolman styles, sleeves
that are strikingly in contrast to the
dress via embroidery and other or
namentation, full bishop sleeves,
bracelet length sleeves, wrist-length
fitted sleeves, short sleeves, fur
sleeves in your cloth coat and so
on and so on.

= ter apparel you can be as
"choosy'' as you like, for the air is
rife with exciting new silhouettes,
new trends, new materials and new
details.
However, there are certain char
acteristic features that are outstand-
ing and which may be regarded as
guiding posts along fashions high
way. Three significant trends are
shown in the illustration, namely
the coat that has a bloused top and
slenderized waistline, the long cape
suit or costume of stunning wool
that is gorgeously' furred and the
suit with jacket that takes on longer
length.
The softly styled blouse coat that
is full above the waistline, and has
a narrow skirt and neat slender
waistline is the talk o. town. Full
ness above snugly belted waist
line makes smart Silhouette for
the black wool town coat shown to
the left in the picture. It is bloused
even more at the back than is here
shown, front view. Loose bracelet
length sleeves add fashion interest.
These coats glory in exquisite
woolens, the velvety surfaced such
as duvetyne being favored. Even
the latest fur coats are being styled
in snal1-waist semi-ftted lines, that
are being Offset with full blouse
tops. These are developed in such
supple fabriclike furs as kidskins,
seal-type pelts, fine caracul and Per
sian lamb.
With the cloth coats so slenderiz-
ing and ladylike in appearance,
huge muffs will be carried later on.

In Late Fashions

When in doubt fasten it with rib
bon bows, which is exactly what de-
signers are in a mood to do. It
is not only that fluttery bows in pro-

ribbon is employed in every con-
ceivable way, perhaps running
around row and row on party
frocks, or making big corsage Of
wide ribbon in lieu of lace jabot
