M*ress Agent for Love . [Continued from page 59] when to scold, when to bully, and when to take her seriously — even though his inclinations might be to rush out of the house and never return. 3. There must be mutual respect. Respect for the opinions of the other. If a mutual appreciation of the thoughts and the feelings of the other person can be attained, and kept basically nourished from the start, each gains confidence. And with confidence each becomes a better person. 4. You must learn to laugh together. You can't expect to maintain the high peak of emotion all the time. That's impossible. Love in the grand manner is quite possible without an overtone of tragedy creeping in all the time. There are thousands of things to laugh about. The more you can find, the better. Laugh at each other, too, but be careful that there is no sarcasm. 5. You must learn to forgive — and forget. If you can't bring yourself to forgiveness of some real or fancied wrong done you by your partner, then call in science. Go to a psychiatrist. The trouble may be just some organic thing that an examination would discover and correct. It is possible that in the near future science will prove of immense help in clearing up the problems between men and women. Husband and wife should be given mental and physical examinations before divorcing or separating. 6. Treasure and guard your love. Be willing and prepared to fight for it, just as you would your other precious possessions. Love must be cherished. It requires skill and tenderness. Fight when it becomes necessary, but fight intelligently and fairly. 7. Develop a community of interests. When the first emotional uplift of falling in love has passed, then is the time to start building common interests. None of the original glow and radiance of being in love will be lost that way. You won't lose it if you are building something together. Don't let courtship stop with marriage, just let it be different. Let it be the building of mutual interests and of mutual respect. 8. Guard against false possessiveness and false hyper-sensitiveness. Don't put love behind bars. Some fine day when you open the door of the jail to have a look, your love will be gone. And a hyper-sensitiveness to imagined wrongs or neglects is a sure way to destroy love. Be reasonable. 9. Guard against jealousy of the other's career, when there is one. An actor, for instance, must of necessity spend a lot of his time on his art. It would be calamitous to fall in love with someone who would be jealous of his career. The feeling of being stifled, the demands of self-preservation, would be detrimental to any career. 10. Above all, a man must be a man, and a woman must be a woman. I | Important Pictures [Continued from page 58] Penny Serenade is a heart-tugger, from start to finish. We'll wager there'll be few dry eyes when it's finished. Parts are unabashed hokum, but with stars of the magnitude and ability of Grant and Irene Dunne, it manages to maintain its merit throughout. The opening scene discloses Julie (Irene Dunne) packing to leave her husband. She can't resist one last playing of the phonograph selections in an old album, and with each tune a burning memory returns. The film unfolds in this retrospective manner. Her meeting with Roger, their marriage, the loss of their unborn child in a Japanese earthquake, the adoption of an infant, her untimely death, their emotional and spiritual separation, and finally the end of their marriage. A series of coincidences reunite them in the end. Every scene is not as good as the one in which Irene attempts to bathe the adopted baby for the first time, when the stalwart foreman of the printing shop, Edgar Buchanan, takes over in masterly style. Director George Stevens has employed most effective and original means of portraying a scene, such as using closeups of tip-toeing feet to accent a story point. One of the nicest things about the picture is the winsome, appealing smile of little nine-year-old Ann Doran, who nlays the part of the adopted child. FLAME OF NEW ORLEANS *** Universal This is a fluffy little bit of nonsense about a not-too-nice lady in the early days of New Orleans. Marlene Dietrich is the glamorous lady who poses as a fake countess and is determined to marry wealthy Roland Young, a middle-aged skirt chaser. Just as she seems to have him snagged, her past catches up with her, thanks to garrulous Mischa Auer. Eventually true love triumphs, and she throws up her chance at wealth for sailor Bruce Cabot, who really had her heart all the time. Miss Dietrich manages to bring life and energy into a rather time-worn story. However, the more bawdy roles she has had of late (like Destry) are better vehicles for her earthy beauty than the more restrained characterization of this type. Bruce Cabot is dashing and romantic as the sailor, and will undoubtedly find himself walking into hero roles after this. SIS HOPKINS -K-MC Republic Republic Pictures take a great step forward with Sis Hopkins, into which they've put a lot of time, effort and money.

The Wolf could have gobbled up R. R. H. right then but he thought he could eat Grandma first. So when R. R. H. arrived, there was the Wolf pretending to be Grandma herself. "Hello, Grandma!" saidR. R.H., pretending she didn't recognize him. "How do you keep your teeth so bright and sparkling?" "By eating raw meat!" snarled the Wolf. "How old-fashioned! You should chew Dentyne. Its extra firmness helps your teeth keep healthy and lustrous white. And that spicy flavor — mm!" And she offered the Wolf some Dentyne. "My! My! How delicious!" purred the Wolf. "From now on I exercise my teeth only on Dentyne!" (Moral: Help your teeth keep bright and sparkling this pleasant way — chew Dentyne! You'll en joy its smart flat package, too.) 6 INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED STICKS IN EVERY PACKAGE HELPS KEEP TEETH WHITE... MOUTH HEALTHY DENTYNE 1 Eaasajass*33^ 61
