modern manufacture that Stimulates
the handmade appearance. Though
there are occasionally exquisite
pieces of maple furniture that are
used to good effect with the most
formal 18th century mahogany, you
and I, when we say pine" or
maple think Of the homely, sturdy
country type of furniture of New
England and Pennsylvania, Of early
Colonial days.
To vary the interest in a living
room or bedroom of early American
style, especially if it has pine-pan-
eled walls, it is good plan to use
gayly patterned and colored chintz
or linen for draperies and to con-
trast the hard, severe types of chair,
such as the ladderback and Wind
sor, with an upholstered high wing
or deep bareback chair. For both
drapery and upholstery select fab
rics that have a hand-loomed, home
spun effect and that look as though
they might have been made to
stand the strenuous wear of chill
dren, and not soil easily. Rough
surface cottons, small flower printed
ehintzes, hand blocked linen as well
as stripes and plaids, are all in
keeping with this interior and fur
niture.
Cherry Sets OF
Color Of Pine.
The deep rich tones OF cherry will
ut of to advantage the honey color
Of pine. If you have a fine drop
leaf table or sideboard of pine, use
cherry chairs with 1t; or try a pair
OF ladder-back chairs on each side
OF a cherry dresser. Old-fashioned
painted or stenciled chairs that were
used in the kitchen in grand

With waxed wood pieces, seem to

Most Of us feel that a suite of

Dear Miss Dix: We are three wives
who are having husband trouble, so
will you please answer these ques-
tions: l. Do you think it possible
for a wife to have the same faith,
love and respect for her husband
after she learns that he has been
unfaithful to her and had affairs
with other women? 2. Just what do
children, especially boys. think when
they know their father is a philan-
derer? 3. Do you think a woman
deserves credit for continuing to live
with an unfaithful husband for the
sake Of the children, or is she a fool
for doing 50? 4. What is the effect
Of divorce on children? S. What is
your opinion Of the man who leaves
his wife and children to run around

money on them that his family
needs? 6. Is the philanderer ever
cured Of the habit and domesticated?

Claude Rains
Varies His
He Turns From
A National Hero
To a Scalawag
HOII,YWONn

HOLLYWOOD.
One week after Claude Rains was
a hero and patriot he became a
scalawag and spendthrift, albeit
lkeable one. And the latter role
was the most enjoyable he has had
since ne entered motion pictures, in
1888, he says.
AS a hero, Rains played Haym
Solomon, the man who helped
finance George Washingtons ragged
Contlnentals through their darkest
days. Solomon was the central char
acter in the Warner Bros Techni-
color film, Sons of Liberty"
As scalawag. Rains played Jim
Masters in Daughters Courageous"
the Warner Bros domestic comedy.
He is the husband who walked out
on Fay BANTER years ago. and who
casually returns to his wife and
their four children in an attempt to
blarney his way back into the fam
lily circle.
I'm a bum in this role. but a
charming bum at that" Rains ex-
plains. Even though the story tells
you that Jim Masters has been
everywhere he oughtn't, and done
everything he shouldn't. Fay Balm
ter and the four children. and even
the audience itself, for that matter,
can't help having a certain liking
for the irresponsible fellow. He
never pretends to be other than he
really is, you see, and that is very
disarming."
According to the actor. his Jim
Masters is one of the most believable
characters he ever had to play, and
he also thinks that there is little
bit of admiration for the irrespon-
sible fellow in every one of us. He
sometimes does what we all would
relish doing, if we didn't see so
clearly the consequences that would
follow"
The role of Haym Solomon, the
well-to-do Philadelphia who ad-
vanced everything he had because
he believed so utterly in the cause
of liberty, is one which really stirs
Rains.
AS compared with his professional
and somewhat Observation-Disclosures
ton for Jim Masters, the happy-go-
lucky ne'er-do-well. Rains has a
more personal feeling about Haym
Solomon.
Every actor likes to play heroic
part now and then" he explains,
but my feeling toward Haym Salo-
mon was deeper than that. The
story OF his contribution toward the
cause OF freedom and tolerance is
especially timely. 1t can warm the
hearts Of all Americans. and may
lend an inspiration to other coun-
tries"

British Films
Are Hurt by
The Stage
Anna Neagle Calls
Its Proximity
Injurious
HOLLYWOOD,

If the English film industry had
Will Hays, pretty Anna Neagle
might be hauled on the carpet and
cited for reasonable utterances
when she arrives home next month
Here to make her first American
movie, Miss Neagle sums up the per-
petual troubles of the British film
industry in three words-"Too mucl.
stage"
After three months in Holly
wood says Miss Neagle, Il can
readily understand why American
films will probably always dominate
the world market. It's because the
production center here is 5000 miles
across the continent from the New
York stage. The players thus don't
face the danger of getting the two
arts mixed.
"As result you have been able
to develop the screen art independ-
emily of the legitimate art. That is,
build up an isloated island of artists
and technicians who eat, sleep.
dream and think only in terms of
motion pictures.
THE exact opposite is the case in
England-and that's just what's the
matter with us. Practically all our
players, directors and technicians
work in the London theater-and
use the movies only as sideline to
real career. That is because Els
tree, our Hollywood, is only a few
miles from the heart of London, and
the workers find it altogether too
convenient to commute. If we were
5000 miles away, or even half that
distance, our arts would be divided
and we might get some place in the
business of making box-office pic
lures.
"a similar situation exists in
France, Italy and other European
centers. AS a result, film making
outside of Hollywood is only an in
cidental matter"
Miss Neagle recently made Nurse
Edith Cavelle" for R-K-O. 1t is a
story based on the martyred nurse
of World War days. After finishing
it, she spent a week touring all the
other studios in town. Before board
ing train for a quick trip to New
York few days ago, she expressed
amazement at the towns capacity
for turning out films on a quantity
basis.
why, England hasn't ghost of a
chance of winning screen superior
ity over this country" she declared.
We've got only seven floors (mean-
ing stages in London) and never
have more than three pictures in
work at one time. Any studio in
Hollywood that doesn't have five
pictures going at once seems to feel
it is in bad slump. Here, I found
one lot with Is sound stages and IL
pictures shooting concurrently."
Miss Neagle thinks, too, that Eng
fish actors and actresses will have to
begin getting up early in the morning
If Hollywood is to be challenged-and
she means that literally.
Il was surprised to find Hollywood
players rising at in the morning
and made up ready for work at 9.
Invariably, the stage is all set and
camera and lights ready for action
at that time.
There's no such efficiency in Lon
don studios. We have no night crews
preparing sets for the next day.
There would be no use for them,
anyway, because our players all sleep
late and seldom show up for work
before II am. Then they dash off
again for stage matinees or rehear-
sails in London"

Trouble One Thing
That's in a Name

Red-haired Lynn Roberts has de-
cided that maybe Lynn Roberts
isn't bad name after all. For,
although she discarded it some
months ago, she's back to using it
again as a result of her new fea-
tured assignment in Sol Lesser's
'Everything's On Ice"
A strange train of events is at
the bottom of it all Quite a while
ago Lynn changed her name for
films to Mary Hart and has been
featured in a number OF pictures
under that cognomen. Unknown to
Lynn was the fact that there was
a real Mary Hart-a famous stock
actress who more or less retired
several years ago.
Lesser, however, signed the real
Mary Hart for "Everything's On
Ice" and when Miss Roberts was
cast she had no choice but to 60
back to her real name. Oddly
enough. Miss Roberts plays the
daughter of Miss Hart in the new
film. which stars 6-year-old Irene
Dare.
