Queenie Smith makes it doubly enjoyable. VANDERBILT — Tzvo Fellozvs and a Girl. A comedy of adolescence by Vincent Lawrence; prepared for home consumption by George M. Cohan. WINTER GARDEN — Passing Shozv. The usual undress revue with the usual comedians. Having a new baby in the home is about the most exciting thing that can happen. The "little stranger," as the poets like to call the baby, cops off most of the conversation and an awful lot of attention from the proud parents. Sometimes the older child gets his nose out of joint, but most often Big Brother is just as crazy about the infant as anyone else. All of which means that SCREENLAND MAGAZINE is SO proud of its baby sister, Real Life Stories, that it wants to tell the world what a fine youngster has arrived. The amusing thing is that REAL Life Stories is already as big as Screenland — 108 pages, standard magazine size — and that Screenland is not a bit jealous of the fact that REAL Life STORIES is already walking like a year old, and is threatening to take up skiing and airplaning. Its amazing vitality for one so young — 100,000 copies of the first issue sold in record time — is no doubt due to the life-blood which has been pumped into it from the hearts of our readers. For the book is made up of stories that are real — as true as that love is the greatest thing in the world and that sin is its own punishment. A book full of deep tenderness, glowing wholesomeness, cleansing tears and saving laughter. A really charming baby! Just buy a copy of the November issue, out October 15, and see for yourself! We Want YOU To Write For Screenland SCREENLAND realizes that it must be in direct touch with its readers. It must have the pulse of the public. To reflect this accurately, SCREENLAND wants you to write for its columns. Beginning with an early issue, SCREENLAND will conduct a department consisting of the best contributions of its readers. Every contributor will be paid for his work — according to the importance of the contribution and its individual merit.
