WHAT CAUSES 1T?

How account for it?
An attractive personality is sup
posed to be something that "F. D."
has nothing else to equal.
He appears. to retain great meas
ure of his earlier popularity through
out the country. Straw votes hint
that he has lost a bit of it generally,
but in no such proportion as he has
lost ground on Capitol Hill.
How happens it that the legislators
SO disprcportionately have turned
against him?
is THIS 1T?
The answer appears to be that the
national lawmakers, who are nearer
to the President than the public is,
resent what they describe, on an
average, as his Arrogance"
Their view is that they think that
he believes that he, rather than they,
won the 1882, 1884 and 1886 elections
and that most Of them got in solely
on his coattails. It unquestionably is
a fact, too, but the coattail winners
dislike having the idea rubbed into
them.
And the executive mansion has rub
bed it in very thoroughly.
Even politician, in office, can turn
ugly upon having his administration
warn him that he will not be re-elect-
ed unless he implicitly obeys admin
istration orders

started back to town. She knew
that she talked a great deal,
laughed not quite so much, wished
them happiness again and again.
If Peter must marry someone, she
was glad that it was Ruth. After
all, a girl couldn't put sign on
a man and claim him when she
didn't want him.
The next day, when Natalie
came into her Office about three
o'clock, Barbara looked up, eyes
filled with swift tears, because she
was so glad to see her. But Ma

Ruth were married last night.
That's why I'm being silly. Ma
tale, maybe you're right. Maybe
it's better just to marry so you
won't go around expecting mir
acles. Besides Garry is devotion
itself. Everybody says So"
IT guess you're right. The
wedding will be a finality. You'll
wake up after that"

grew dark and she sat down.

the papers today?"

other officials. 1 don't like him,

There was q little scuffle as
though someone was taking the
telephone away from Peter. Then
Ruth spoke: "Babbs darling, it's
Peter and me. We're getting mar

"But Ruth"
"We'n pick you up at once!"
Words of an old nursery rhyme

Peter and Ruth, Garry and
Wenda, Natalie and Basil! Life
seemed to be a wedding march
and she alone couldn't keep in
tune with the music. She was
glad for Peter and Ruth, but she
had a sense that something which
she had treasured was leaving.
She had been first so long with
Peter. She had thought that it
would always be that way. When
ever she was too tired she could
find him, there at his shabby desk,
the green eye-shade over his eyes,
and tell him anything.
Now Peter had written a book
and he was marrying an heiress.

She caught her breath in a sob.
She would be alone, so alone now!

but Ray. Bless his heart, he was
a dear. If she could be little
gayer, they could have fun to-
gether. She would have to be live
lier and merrier. After all, she
was going to have career. Men,
even the best of them, were not to
be trusted. Not that they meant
to be dishonest. They were
variable and they couldn't help it.
A wise woman didn't put her faith
| in words a man said. She made
her own life from good, helpful
work. And love-oh, that was
only the frosting on the cake, and
you could learn to be glad when
the cake was frosted, not to mind
when it was a plain sponge loaf.
That ride through the night to

The night when Julia had held
q gay Bohemian party in Bar
bara's rooms was far away now.
Between that night and this, Gar
ry had told Barbara that he loved
her, and had taken it back. She
wondered if all her life she would
be reckoning time from that eve
ming.
"You know about Bruce Kem-
per, don't you?" Barbara asked.
II heard that he was ill and in
a hospital. When Jimmy liked
me, Bruce became angry and
threw up his job. After all, I
never wanted to marry him! Men
are so ridiculous!"
"He's still in the hospital. Peter
Baxter is in town, and he goes to
see him often"
"Peter? Did he come on to
comfort you when you lost

flushed. Hes busy with his pub

Irene Dunno
For Keith's

Would you have trouble keep
ing the wolf from the door if
your income was half a million
dollars q year?
That's the situation Irene
Dunno faces in her new musical
comedy, "Joy of Living" with
Douglas Fairbanks, jr., the next
attraction at RKO-Keith's
Theater, opening Friday. April
is.
AS q musical comedy favorite
and radio singer, Miss Dunno
finds that her selfish ana ex-
travagant family is keeping her
pennilesS, despite the lavish sal
airy she receives.
AS her acid-tongued secretary,
Jean Dixon, points out, she just
thinks she gets a salary. Half
of her income goes for Federal
taxes, two thousand of the re-
mainder for State taxes; her
father spends a thousand a
week trying to buck the market.
and her mother has an equal
amount to buy antiques, while
the remainder goes for rent and
a swank car and household ex-
penses and clothes and her sis
ter's publicity.
The balance is-Zero; and the
result makes for many Of the
complications of the story, with
Miss Dunne's family troubles as
a bone of contention in her
stormy romance with Fairbanks.
Also in the cast are Alice
Brady and Guy Kibbee, who
head the supporting cast Of this
Tay Garrett production, with
Eric Blore, Lucille Ball and
Warren Hymer. Jerome Kern
melodies are featured in Joy
of Living"
To the confusion which re-
suited on the set Of Radios
"Joy of Living" from having
twins, Dorothy and EStelle
Steiner, working together, was
added another complication.
In their cinema debut the
five-year-olds play the spoiled
nieces of Irene Dunno. Miss
Dunno presented each OF
them with a. life-sized baby
doll, whereupon Dorothy pro-
ceeded to name her doll EStelle.
and Estelle named hers Dorothy.

LOIS WILSON STARS
In this common and coarse So
ciety menagerie, the Mary
Haines of Lois Wilson stands
out in bold relief as the lone
symbol of refinement and de-
cency. After Miss Wilson be-
came assured, she gave the role
overtones of gentleness that
made it vastly appealing.
Alice Buchanan is head OF the
tabby cats, vicious tattle-and-
prattle girl who seemed to take
a sadistic delight in wounding
her best friends. Best of the
wisecrackers is Doris Packer as
Nancy Blake. In fact, she comes
close to taking the plays high
acting honors.
Dorritt Kelton, Miriam Bat
tista, Mary Loane, Celeste Holm,
Edith Shayne, Maude Carleton,
Emily Ross, Marion Weeks and
Jane Amar provide interesting
moments in the other important
characters.
