/. Delicious Pencils
/ have come to the conclusion that my
children eat pencils.
l have never seen them do it, but
think they must because l can never
find any around the house.
Every nj eht bring home three or four
pencils to work with. The children
sneak off with them and draw croco-
dies and things.
They draw mostly on the wallpaper.
And when they are through, l think
they take the pencils and eat them.
l don't know whether pencils are bad
for children but hope not. do know
that crocodiles don't do wallpaper any
good.
My wife thinks that our children eat
mittens. She says that in the winter
time mittens disappear just as fast as
pencils. l don't worry about this SO
much because mittens don't have
sharp points.
Besides they can't eat them all year
round the way they can pencils.
don't think the children would tackle
my typewriter but keep it up on high
shelf anyway.

Wallace Beery made his first talkie

them and had substituted the voice

Out Of Hiding.
7 still remember the fuss about
Greta's low husky voice and whether
talkies would kill" her as movie
actress. But Garbo did even better
as talking actress and it was not
until she picked a couple of dud
movies few years ago that her long
streak of popularity waned. And
I'm sure that If she gets a good
picture, Greta will be as big star
as she ever was. She's still pretty
wonderful.

HOLLYWOOD.

Warner Bros. are having quite a
celebration on August to celebrate
20 years of sound in pictures. On
August 6, 1926, Warmers gave John
Barrymore in Don Juan" to the
public in New York. This so-called
talkie was synchronized with music
and shown on a program with three
short subjects which actually fea-
tured people talking and singing. 1t
caused in it's way as great an up
heaval in Hollywood as the atom
bomb recently did in Bikini
At that time John Barrymore
was the great actor of Hollywood.
But talkies cost him his favorite
method of shocking his leading
ladies into surprised expressions for
their roles. In the silent days he
used to swear at them horribly just
before they went into their dra-
matte scenes, but when the mike
came along, the gals were on their
own.
The two male stars who survived
the change best were Barrymore and
Conrad Nagel. Nagel was under
contract to Metro at the time and
receiving S2,500. The studio loaned
him to every other company in
Hollywood and In the first two years
of talkies, Conrad starred in 81
films!
With sound, zasu Pitts had to
change her type. Before talkies,
men like Ernst Lubitsch and Erich
Won Stroheim considered Zasu one
Of the great dramatic actresses of
the day. But when her voice hit
the sound track, people laughed so
hard that Zasu wisely changed to
comedy and made another fortune
as funny girl.
