at least, into a bunch of ingenues

thing is suddenness of their tram

Stubborn studios will keep a

resorting to camera tricks to
make her appear smaller than

BIG BOY NOW
Jackie Cooper is a Juvenile
who's generally supposed to be
older than he really is because
he has had such a long career
at the top in pictures. Also be-
cause he is a poised and mural
youngster with more perspective
than a good many established
adults. Cooper will be 10 Sept.
Is. Apparently he will move in
to the ranks of leading men and
probably several years earlier
than most. His best gal, Bonita
Granville, already has preceded
him into Movietown's realm of
romance.
Miss Granville is an ingenue
now, and so is Jane Withers,
who suddenly seemed to toss off
the character and contours of a
chubby kid comedienne. Like
Miss Durbin, Jane has gone
through a first-party-dress and
first-kiss progression, but the
proof of her development is that

The Latest Books q

Roderick Peattie, one Of the
apparently inexhaustible clan OF
writing Peatties, has written .
genial volume called "The In
durable Romantic" Macmillan:
S3), which q great many people
are sure to find a refreshing
change from the sweat-and-
fer school of personal record
which has recently overwhelmed
us.
With a good deal of charm and
humor, Mr.. Peattie has recount
ed his adventures as Q geograph-
err, his travels here and abroad
in the pursuit Of his profession,
and his no less fascinating ex-
periences, a. . family man.
Where he went his family went,
also, and the many pictures of
the perambulating Peatties, in
defatigable, good-humored and
enthusiastic, give the book much
of its pleasant individuality.
Mr.. Peattie has also something
to say about education in gen.
eral and about certain institu.
tions of learning in particular.
His comments, while usually
overbalanced on the side Of
kindness, are full of common
sense and wit. Vigorously rs he
repels the name of realist he Is
not without realism of the most
absolute variety. In spite of
himself, the quality keeps in
truding, most effectively.
THE Incurable Romantic" is
not q very important book, but
II - IN extremely amusing one.
Neither isolated nor turbulent,
it has value as q record OF
m interested and interesting life.
Mr.. Peattie was and Il crazy

ACTIVE PEACE

Stronoe it is that men and notions
still think Of peace as q passive or ne9o-
tive condition. One reason the world is
seeing so much Of war todoy is this
tendency ofthe human mind to toke its
eose, this reluctance to foce unpIeo-
SAINT issues. Many an individual hos
proved tl,ot he could not evode the con-
stont conflict between good and evil
and thot only by meeting and over
coming evil = feor, hate, greed =
could he find peace. Moses at first fled
from the serpent but when he relied on
his knowledge Of good and erosped it
feorlessIy he achieved calm and con-
fidence.
Surely the experience Of nations in
recent days hos proved that there is
no peoee in merely trying to avoid
trouble. The foiIure of the notions to
snoooe more actively IN positive peoce-
making by the removal Of injustice and
by firm and united rejection Of oeeres-
sion has caused most Of the present
trouble. The belief that there can be
peoce before evil is overcome and the
couses Of striferooted out Of human
thinking is as pIoinly mistaken in the
offoirs Of notions as in those Of indi-
viduois.
The frontier community which tried
to oppose outlaws only increased the
reign of injustice and crime until dros-
tic measures had to be taken. A few
years ogo rocketeerine and kidnapping
reached olormine proportions in the
United Stotes. There was no peoce in
letting them spread. Something of the
same condition hos now developed in
international offoirs Much as good
men recognize thot war is not the
method for establishing Righteousness
in he world, they ore coming to see
that mere avoidance of it does not
bring peoce. They ore realizing that
the anarchy Of violence cannot be tol-
eroted in the world community and
some police power must be established.
Thot attitude is closer approach to
positive peoeemokine than the belief
that peuce can be made with evil
