a disease. Naturally, anyone suf-
fering from an underlying sense
of inSeriority cannot bear to
have that sore area touched by
criticism. The extreme egotiSt
is doomed to lap up flattery, and
get hopping mad at fault-finding.
Obviously the habitual rational
iZer will resent the opinion of
one who sees his mistake but
not his alibi. And anyone in
whom jealous, vindictive, cho-
leric emotions have gained domi-
nance has so messed up his per-
sonal relationships that he will
always have chip on his
shoulder.
Such abnormal persons take
appreciation for granted and
regard criticism as an impert-
inence., The normal person
comes much nearer taking criti-
cism for granted and regarding
appreciation as velvet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson at Mid
dlebury College once made a
speech that minister sitting on
the platform deeply disliked.
Not having been asked TO speak,
the minister could not argue
against Emerson, but in deliver
ing the closing prayer he prayed,

deliver us from ever hearing
any more such transcendental
nonsense as we have just listen
ed TO from this sacred desk"
When Emerson was asked
afterwards what he thought
about it, he remarked, The min

credited with bringing bedbugs

1t was very humiliating, Bill
said. The original Demarests,
you see, were Huguenots who
settled on the Hackensack in
1868. Bill was all puffed up
about his family tree until one
morning when he read in
newspaper that it was the HUI
guenots who brought bedbugs TO
America.
There's one consolation,
though says Bill. you've got
to admit that when the Demar-
ests came to America, they start

ling over Bill Demarest's cur
rent role as Constable Kocken-
locker in The Miracle of Nor
gan's Creek" Very, very funny.
Bill works in all Of Preston
Sturges' movies. 1t was Stur-
ges, in fact, who talked Bill out
of a career as a Hollywood
agent.
When Bill landed in movie
town some years ago, after tour
ing in stock companies and
vaudeville, they had him so far
in the red, financially, that he
was playing Indian roles.
That, we said, must have been
a terrible blow to his ego.

Never mind my ego said
Bill. 1T was my stomach that
suffered. | finally became so
lean and hungry-looking that
people started mistaking me for
an agent. This gave me an
idea. Agents eat at least 10
per cent of the time-so ] start
ed eating. Ten per cent Of
loaf, decided, is better than
loafing."
Being an agent was lots Of
fun, Bill said, especially when
he could discover a talented
youngster and get her a break.
One day Agent Bill was sip
ping soda in SWeetshop on
Hollywood boulevard when he
noticed very beautiful dish be-
hind the counter. Bill slipped
her his card and said, If you d
like TO be in pictures, drop up to
my office.
Bill introduced her TO his as
sociate, Morris Small, but when
Small found out she was a wait
resS, he told Bill she'd never
have a chance. Well, Bill bet
him 500 that he could make a
big name out Of her, and Small
covered the bet.

girl take some dramatic lessons,
staked her TO a smart wardrobe,
dreamed up a high-clasS back
ground for her, and got her a
contract at Paramount. Within
a few months she was playing
leads opposite the studios big
gest male stars.
The girl was Ellen Drew.
Bill finally landed in pictures
the same way-getting an agent
named Bill DemdrcSt.
You see said Bill, II used
TO contact writers TO find out
what kinds of characters they
were writing into their scripts
