HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 14.-An-
tonic Moreno reached back into
his personal history today and
brought out an. explanation of
what has happened to American
made movies In Spanish-speak-
ing markets. Even though Hol-
lywood itself Is not inclined to
listen to the testimony of quail
fled experts. i thought you
might like to know.
This Is the Antonio Garrido
(Monteagudo) Moreno whom
you have not heard much
about since the beginning of the
talkies. Before that, of course,
he was q great star. Spanish
born, New York-educated, he
had roles in plays with Mrs.
Leslie Carter, the first Tyrone
Power and Constance Collier,
transferred tc the flickers in
ia.
Early in 1880 the industry
suddenly became conscious of
markets to be won in all Latin.
America and Spain. Moreno
made the first Spanish-version
films at Fox, Metro, Paramount
and all the rest. BY that time he
was so wound up in commit
ments he remained In foreign
versions five years BY then
Hollywood had forgotten An.
tonic Moreno could speak Eng
lish.

Alligator Outstanding Selection for That Important First Fall Shoe

By Josephine L0lCman
Things that make one old!

Things that make one old!
I had the opportunity to observe
an interesting bit of feminine psy-
chology the other day. was sitting
in a beauty salon having q neck
trim, when the most attractive look
ing woman entered. She wasn't
young, but she was beautiful and
had that rare inner illumination
and vitality which gave her face
bloom and animation.
She had come to meet her friend
who was then under a dryer. I
enjoy looking at lovely women and
my mind was occupied with this
ones attractiveness when. to my
surprise, the friend under the dryer
said: Catherine, you look so tired.
What have you been doing with
yourself?"
Catherine looked a bit jolted and
replied: well, don't know. Moth
ing unusual" The conversation
continued and a bit later the friend
under the dryer said: my dear, I
can't get over it. You look simply
exhausted. I'm worried about you"
At that GATHERINGS already wav-
ering morale went down like q
pricked balloon. Its collapse was
actually visible. You could see her
wither, her mouth dropped at the
corners, the animation disappeared
from her face and she sighed and
replied: well, I guess I am tired.
I got I'D early this morning and had
to do my marketing and take the
car by the garage before I came
here"
Draw your own conclusions. Haven't
you had it happen to you at least
hundred times?-and did you ap-
preciate it? Wouldn't a remark
about how swell you look have given
you boost. even if you were tired?
What are friends for, anyway?

concerned, they've got 1t all over
suedes.
However, suedes are very much in
the shoe picture for fall, because
after all there's nothing that can
touch it for slightly more dreSsy
shoes. Even casual suede shoes are
being grabbed up by fashion con-
scious women who can't wait-even
as you and for the first mo-
ment to wear fall clothes. One shop
which has been so successful with
their own adaptation of the wedge
has presented it in both casual and
dressy suede styles. They're show
ing great quantities of low-heeled
models with all the snap and chic
of the higher heeled ones and, be-
lieve you us, for comfort you can't
beat them.
Needless to say, for those who
insist that their black dress shoes
be according to the established idea,
there are black suede pumps, draped
or in the perpetually good high-cut
zephyr" type. Also interesting are
suedes with grosgrain or satin trim
for something particularly "out of
this world; suedes with beautiful
light Java lizard trim for a sophis-
ticated street shoe with bag to
match. Incidentally, take a peek
at the fabric bags which look so
much like antelope that you really
have to feel them to discover the
II
decidedly practical.
In silhouette, you'll find closed
toes much more in the majority
than open ones; the same holds
true for closed backs. Pumps re-
main the favorites, with some ties
to be seen. Matching bags are i'm
portant and often cost more than
the shoe-thanks to the use of more
material In the purses But above
all, you'll find comfort in the shoes
of the moment, for which We thank
the manufacturers and our lucky
stars.
Speaking Of comfort, as we do
often, though not usually as hope
fully as this, we'd like to remind
you Of some really superior fitting
shoes that are available in this
town of burning sidewalks and pro-
testing feet. We've mentioned them
before; they're actually designed to
fit your own measurements, care
fully created and the last word in
proper shoe fitting. However, a
number of inquiries in the last
few days seems to indicate that
reminder about this really unusual
footwear is in order. Don't think
you're going to find all the extreme
high styles" which are the FASH
ion editors delight. You won't.
What you will find, however, is a
selection of trim looking shoes made
of the finest leather, many of them
in one piece.

Accept Fact
That Child
Grows Up
Parental Example
Has Importance
In Helping Girl
By Anselo Patri

When the daughter you have
looked upon as mere baby brings
home a strange boy, accept the
fact with what poise you can muster.
Take it, for it is certain you can
not leave it. Nature has her way
with the children and once she
starts on this boy and girl question
there is nothing for parents to do
but 60 along, hoping for the best.
Try not to worry. Remember that
you would have more cause for
worry If this child showed no In
terest in boys. This interest is
healthy, an indication of normal
development and therefore to be
welcomed. Few of HG welcome it
with cheers. Uusally groans, pro-
tests, warnings, lamentations and
tears seem to be in order.
T always looked forward to their
growing up thinking my worries
would be over and now look at me.
I'm a wreck from worry. They go
out nights and I have to stay awake
until they come in and when I lose
my sleep, I'm good for nothing all
next day. When they were babies l
knew where they were. Now I can't
rest"
That's too bad. Children must
grow up and this boy and girl in
terest is one of the manifestations
of that growth. OF course no
mother would be happy If her
children remained infantile. What
bothers most mothers here is the
uncertainty OF wholesome growth.
There rs no such certainty, but
there is strong hope of it because
normal healthy children tend to be
wholesome in body and mind. That
must comfort the mothers Of ado
lescent boys and girls.
Most of them mean to do what
Is right. II they have been taught
IN wholesome fashion what they
need 10 know about themselves at
this period they are more likely
to come through well adjusted to
life than not. The background of
home holds. 1t Is for us to set
that background firmly and well,
and early. That is where our prob
lem lies.
Parental example is everything.
When q father and mother prove
by their daily living that love,
service, character, are lovely quail
tties and make home a happy
place for them and their children.
they need have no fear of their
ehildren's ways. They will be good.
There Is one phase OF adoleScent
growth that is painful to all parents.
At this stage children seem to turn
from home and family toward stran-
gers and strange places. They seem
10 turn their backs on home and
refuse 10 remain in it, preferring
