 Feature on Bill

"Arrowsmith," the masterpiece of Sinclair Lewis, comes as motion picture to the Strand theater in 8 great production by Samuel Gold- wyn, with Ronald Colmar playing the title role of the crusading young doctor.
 Critics have hailed "Arrowsmith" as one of the most important pie lures of all time, and Sinclair Lewis himself acknowledged pulp licly that it had succeeded in doing everything he had tried to do in the book. The distinction of its story, the importance of its cast and the acclaim with which it has been re- ceived combine to make it a cine matic event.
 Helen Hayes, the stage star plays opposite Ronald Colman in the role of the devoted wife whc risks her life for her husbands career.
 Myrna Loy, Florence Britton, Claude King, take important parts, and several of the minor roles are filled by the same galaxy of expert actors who made every character in Samuel Goldwyn's Street Scene" an individual event.
 The story of "Arrowsmith" is the story of one mans devotion and ambition in the battle of humanity against the death-dealing plaques which have always been the scourge of mankind. It sweeps from the mid-western countryside to trop- ical island in the West Indies, where young Dr. Arrowsmith and his colleagues go to battle against the black death. His relations with the little nurse he marries as a struggling country doctor, continu- ing throughout the picture, have a broad current of romance through its stirring scenes.
 "Arrowsmith" as 8 novel is &C., knowledged by most critics to be the finest work of Sinclair Lewis, its author. It won Publitzer Prize on

DEAR MARY HAwoRTH: A one of your readers. have noted with interest that occasionally. in evAluating the behavior Of some cruelty quarrelsome person who iS making life miserable for the family, you feel justified in suggesting that the offender s afflicted with a par- anoid condition. In such eases you advise medical handling oi the prob- lem.
 A recent instance was the prob- lem Of "A. o." who is baifled by her husbands odd behavior. She says he invites the enmlty of every one and seems happy only when he has bis family in tears. You define his performance as a struggle for power-the unhappy efforts Of a seriously paTanoid personality to appease a persecution mania" What A pity the public isn't better in- formed on this type of demential Through ignorance. was on the defensive in just such a situation for years. and like "A. G." my re- action was sometimes that of liSh- wife, too. There were endless ac- cusations. denials, arguments, hy- sterics. more accusations etc.-and all because we just didn't know what the trouble was. My husband and I both suffered, but I realize now that he was in constant tor- ture from his delusional ideas which were real to him.
 Tn desperation we separated, but this only aggravated the problem. Finally he was admitted to a hos pital, where I was told CD If the condition had been treated early, at the source, he might have been cured; but (2) the delusions had lasted so long there was little hope of cure. His symptoms had been acute for over two years; and my one regret is that I didn't under stand their significance.
 I just thought he had become meanly jealous and I resented it. Yet before the paranoid condition developed We had been happy to- gether for many years; and in those days he was the kindest, most un- derstanding husband woman could have.
 Your column is doing a great service in exposing the roots of this type of strife; for of course there are other homes where the same situation exists, with one person mentally sick and his victims baf- fled and indignant. And the pity of it is, we try so hard to conceal the problem, when we should be acting openly to correct it. May God bless you and keep you in your work.

MOTHER SMOKES; CHILDREN THRIVES

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I wish to protest a statement made by w. L.," your correspondent of December 3, to wit: According to the Mayo Brothers Clinic of Roch- ester, Minn., 60 percent of all chill dren born to cigarette-smoking mothers die before they reach the age of two years"
 I wish you could see my three youngsters, aged 12, T and 3, respec- tively-all born of a cigarette-smok- ing mother, and, incidentally, cig- arette-Smoking father, too. All three are taller, heavier and stronger than the average. All are splendidly healthy.
 I am sure the statement is gross ly inaccurate; and I thoroughly agree with your advice to the young man to "stop talking through his hat" as he obviously was in ex- pressing general dissatisfaction with modern girls. Lucky the girls who don't attract him
