This opinion was expressed by
beautiful Anita Colby, one of the

say, took place before Anitas new

Colby is an honest lass, and she
would probably say the same thing
today, if queried.
But I'm not at all sure she is right.
Does the public prefer the patrician
type in its movie diet? Or is good old
sex appeal still the favorite? I've
taken 10 members from each group,

The Confused
But Charming
Miss Garland
Mildly Fatalisfic,
Judy Nonetheless
Enjoys Living
By Kate Holiday.
HOLLYWOOD.


Judy Garland, at 20, is neither
child nor woman, a circumstance
which often obtains with youngsters
who grow up in the theater. She
is neither entirely mature nor her
own age, yet she Is completely
charming.
At present she is also a little
pathetic. ~
4: She would be the last to admit
that. The seeming failure of her
marriage has left her confused, but
not sorry for herself.
She has been around show busi-
ness long enough to know that any
thing can happen. She and Dave
Rose may remain man and wife.
They may not. She still thinks he
is great guy, particularly for his
music. And her statement is,
whichever way it works out will
be the best may for both of u.s.
Judy has been closely concerned
with the running of her own life
since she was a child. So she did
not return to her mothers house
when she separated from her hus-
band. Instead, she took an apart
ment. 1t Is her present pride and
joy.
It's a small, sunny place, merely a
living room, bedroom, dining room
and kitchen. 1t is furnished in

Movies Fattest Man
Expanded After
Romance Roles
By Harold Hefernan.
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLY WOOO.
Take it from Eugene Palette, who
weighs in at 33l pounds and has
recently become the fattest actor In
Hollywood, the simplest recipe for
attracting attention in the movies
is to grow up-and around. Spread
ing out has done wonders for Pal
lette.
He has been a keen devotee Of
this system for the past 20 years
or ever since age and increasing
waist measurement robbed him of
his original movie role Of romantic
leading man. Today the tape
stretches out to 81 inches when it's
wrapped around the Palette mid
section. And the bigger he be-
comes the merrier the mood Of this
popular character comedian, who
has appeared in more than 100
features.
Whenever there's. a lot of you in
front of the camera, the folks out
front can't help noticing" philoso-
phizes Palette. "If you're twice as
big as the other fellow you've got
twice the chance to hog the scene. :"
Palette vas not always the fat
test man in the movies, but he's
been q threatening runner-up for
several years. As matter Of rec
ord, it was not until q couple of
weeks ago that Palette grabbed
the heavyweight crown-by dieting
default from Laird Cregar.. On the
doctors orders, the rotund Cregar
slipped away to q 250-pound shad-
ow, leaving only Oliver (Babe)
Hardy 1928 pounds) Of the LAUREL
Hardy team rs competition.
While he takes no particular pride
in his girth, Palette feels that his
spread has been wonderful career
insurance. The fatter he gets the
greater number Of fine parts are
tossed his way. And his salary has
leaped right along with the pound

The play ends on somber note,

He does a realistic, sincere job.

Mr.. III. T. Tsiana
His Own Master
And Hired Help
By Mas Hill
NEW YORK.

/, It takes only couple Of mex
pensive props for Hsi-Teseng Tsiang
to stage his confused but discon-
certing play, 'The Hanging on
Union Square"
Mr.. H. T. Tsiang, as he signs his
name, is an amiable Chinese and
the props are a kitchen chair, q
shapeless overcoat the like Of which
you seldom see, and a young lady
he calls Miss Stubborn. There's q
hat, which is important. too, and,
before it turned up on Mr.. Tsiang's
black, rumpled head, it must have
been trampled by a Derby or Freak
ness field.
"The Hanging on Union Square"
is the closet thing to a one-man
show. New York has to offer this
spring. Mr.. Tsiang wrote the show.
He directs it. He stages 1t. He pens
the tickets on pink cardboard and
hoofs it around town selling them
for SO cents each in campaign
which covers most of the city's side
walks. He takes the tickets at the
door. Then he trots backstage and
gives the performance.
These duties keep him so busy he
has performances only two nights
week, most of the time in small
studio on West Forty-fourth street,
and even then he has scattering
of vacant seats.
Mr.. Ts;ang has q naive Oriental
wit-and I don't believe this story
any more than you will. But he told
1t to me, as serious as cat playing
with ball of yarn:
you know" he said with gestures,
Il do what the director tells me
when we are rehearsing. Everything
he says I do"
Then he grinned shyly and
shrugged his thin shoulders.
But once am on stage I forget
all of the instructions and do what
I want"
In other words, just an actor
making faces at the audience.
Invaluable Prop.
Mr.. Tsiang glories in that over
coat. In a,pinch it could, and prob
ably does. do double duty as blan-
ket. The patch pockets bulge with
a miscellany which includes pencils
and papers and notes and tattered
paper-bound script of the play.

Mr.. Tsiang will be in Hollywood one

Not long ago one of the movie
companies was interested in him.
"Ee bought a new hat and had

She added, wistfully:
"All of us felt so sorry for him"

is Mr.. Nut. He is in love with Miss

but in real life she is not as pretty.
Her, face is too sharp. But this is
more than compensated for by the
roundness of her figure. But whether
on the screen or in private life, the

Teresa. There is a gentleness, ear

only, who would you rather see? It
depends on your sex, of course--and
your age. Most young men would put
their money on Betty. But not all
OF them. For a girl who usually
keeps her figure hidden behind a
hustle and who sidesteps the more
tempestuous movie love scenes, Miss
Carson has huge popularity and

the military camps, where Betty has
a myriad of followers, 1 think the

Betty's curves than watch Greer's

No Need to Worry?

Many persons who are pro-RooSevelt,

worrying now about the tendency toward

democracies, Great Britain and the
United States. The feeling Of such per-
sons is exemplified and this is only
one convenient illustration-by Raymond
Clapper's recent remark that the power

state of oriental arrogance regarding the
interest of the democratic peoples in their
activities" Some of those who have OBJ

of us by pointing out that there will be
another election next year-that so long
as, every four years, we have an oppor-
tunlty to turn out officehOlderS and over
turn policies, we need fear no weakening
of democratic processes. That is not en-
tirely true. We can turn Mr.. Roosevelt

choose. Some would like to do that, and
others would not

Messrs Roosevelt and Churchill must
