 "The simple, everyday words
 arc the ones that stump you
 says Walter Kelly, "wordmas-
 ter" on the You Don't Say"
 series, heard over WATR's As
 sociated New York station
 WNICA every Monday, Wednes-
 day and Friday. Words, such as
 Geisha, erasure, eclipse and dis
 sect often are sounded in five
 or six different wayss according
 to Kelly. It doesn't necessarily
 show low i. q. because, as he
 further explains, according to
 tests given to lawyers, school
 teachers, college. students as
 against housewives, secretaries,
 and group of unemployed, the
 latter receive a better rating.
 The program has also proven,
 so far, the interesting fact, that
 men are equally as proficient in
 juggling syl1ables as are women.
 The honors have been divided
 equally among men and women
 so far, with F of each sex
 emerging as word champions"

following was devoted to the
point of fanaticism plays two
roles, that of the sheik, a strong
willed man of the desert, and
his equally strong-willed son. Set
in the regions of rolling sands
and daring horsemen, the story
provides full opportunity for
the camera to catch moments
of vigorous drama as well as the
love scenes that brought trans
cendent fame to the star.
The film, although a silent,
remains a fine production
achievement. Wilma B a nky,
glamour girl of another celluloid
era, is the subject of Valentines
caresses, and other popular
players in the cast are Agnes
Ayres as the wife of the sheik,
Montagu Love, George Fawcett,
Karl Dane and Bull Montana.
The Little Theater will take
its audience back to the days of
the silent picture for its entire
program next week, as the short
subjects and newsreel are to be
older than the feature.

PROMISED DIGNITY
The American Committee on
Maternal Welfare sponsored and
paid for the production of the
film. Medical and child welfare
groups comprise the organiza-
ton. whose primary purpose is
announced as To reduce the ap-
paling maternal mortality rate
in the U. S, surely a highly
laudable purpose"
Not having seen this picture,
/ can only say that it is de-
scribed as highly lighting the
maternity problem, through
graphic pictures that are both
obstetrical and revealing.
The Special Pictures Corpora
ton is handling the release OF
the subject, with Geraldine Sar-
tain in charge of its publicity
bureau.
The New York State Board OF
Censors rejected the application
for public exhibition of the pic
ture on the grounds that it was
indecent, immoral and tending
to corrupt morals" From that
decision an appeal has been
taken.
PUBLICIZES CONTROVERSY
There will be no argument
here whether the censorS were
right or wrong in their findings,
but more on the question as to
whether Birth of a Baby can
be rightfully listed as ENTER
tainment" for theaters that
cater to the mass audience or
whether the picture is being ex-
plotted with the reticence and
dignity promised by the sponsors.
I do find that the picture has
been promoted publicly in this
territory with much the same
method employed to stimulate
sales for such errotic cellulold
as Sex Madness" and other
pornographic screen features.
Just as Ecstasy" thrived on
cheap controversy, on constant
censor obstacles, on prolonged
litigation in the courts, so Birth
of a Baby" appears willing to
capitalize on all opposition to
