Movie Revues
"BARRICADE" IS FEATURED
AT THE ROYAL HOUSE

Warner Baxter has at last achi-
eyed his great screen desire - he
plays a cynical reporter and thus
satisfies a long-standing ambition
in the thrilling goth Century-Fos
drama, "Barricade," which is now
playing at the Royal theatre. He
co-stars with Alice Faye in the pic
ture and when the story opens J G
is hot on her trail for an eyewitness
account of a sensational a%ssassina'
ton.
Baxter, a Green veteran, in al
his career has appeared as q
newshawk despite his wanting lutte
earnestly to have such a role; il
seems the proper story never turned
up until now. The rec play by
Granville Walker at last gives him
his opportunity.

BY RUTH MILIETT

Many women loog on husbands as
"unimproved property" That is,
they look at the mar they are in
love with and see not what he is
but what they hope to make of him.
Whether or not they are able to
make the necessary Ito them) i'm
provements depends on how they &C
about the job.
If they nag-they get nowhere.
If they are obvious about theil
reforms" they fail.
But if they study their husbands
and decide to encourage them t o be
the most they are capable of being
instead of trying to turn them into
copies of an unattainable ideal-they
usually get somewhere.
A typical case history is the way

Wife's Ideal Should Not Rule
Reform Efforts, Says Writer

ous-minded young professor named
Henry into a dean in five years.
She was set on having him
overcome his shyness enough to let
his superior qualities show through
and she did.
1t wasn't a simple matter Of hit
ting hard on the "Aren't-you-wonder-
full line. Henry vas too intelligent
to be greatly influenced by that.
What she did was to make it easy
and pleasant for him to be with peo-
ple.. Something he had never been
able to accomplish alone.
She Planned 1t That Way
She planned small parties where
he wouldn't be overlooked in a con
fusion Of small talk. At these par
ties, she managed at least once dur.
ing an evening to switch the discus
sion until it was right down Henry's
alley.
She coaxed him into reading
books entirely unrelated to his job
SO that he wouldn't turn into a bore
She picked herself a hobby she
thought he might enjoy-and aftel
watching her enthusiasm for si2
months he became interested. (Which
left her free to drop it in favor OF
a real interest of her oWn.)
1t was only a coincidence, O.
course, that the hobby was in q fielt
in which the Dean of the school was
a minor expert.
And it was just luck that Henri,
and the Dean became such goot
friends, the Dean recommended Hen.
ry for his position when he stepped
into a better one.

we'll take its place on the table along
with the salt and pepper shakers, for
in any meal there is always some
food the flavor of which can be en-
hanced by lemon.
Lemon quarters or sixths are sug-
gested because they are most prac-
tical for juice. With a sharp knife,
cut lemon lengthwise in four or
six pieces. These lemon pieces may
be squeezed without getting juice
on the fingers. They are decorative
additions to the foods they accom-
pany, as are lemon slices, plain or
cut in fancy shapes. To heighten
decorative effect, the lemon may
itself be garnished with chopped
mint, pimiento strips and parsley.

OUR SCOUTS SUGGEST
Showers for brides-to-be will be
raining on us from now on-so here
are a few gift suggestions along
such lines:
The newest pastel colored bath
sets are packaged In a white basket,
tied up with ribbons, and topped
with gay artificial flowers. When the
towels and wash cloths have been
removed the basket remains useful
In dozens of ways. Sets also come
In cellophane gift boxes. -.
Varieties Of cocktail napkins are
legion-they come in all shapes,
colors and sizes, with and without
lace, and with amusing notices and
motifs. Especially lovely are the
oblong ones with cut-work en-
broidered edges, in ravishing pastel
tones. -.
An acceptable gift for the crystal
shower is q leaf-shaped sandwich
plate. -.
To accompany this, if two presents
are required from one household, is
a salad bowl in the same leaf shape,
with q blocked off section for dress
ing. An amusing and really useful
two-in-one item. -.
More glass-this time tiny um-
brellas to hang on the edge Of
finger bowls. The partly closed UNI
brella Is filed with water. and holds
q single tiny flower. A perfect touch
