Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Jun 1929)

How Do You Like Our Village? {Continued from page ^g) of stability of marriage in our town are just a lot of hooey. Of course, there are the Conrad Nagels, too. Conrad is our best Example to Young Men. A model husband and father; so good to his family and goes to church and takes his little girl to Sunday School and all that. They are a charming couple. That Nice Mr. Nagel CONRAD is always asked to speak at the uplift things (I told you that the village is going in a lot for uplift now — you know — purity and honor and kindness to one's neighbor and brotherly love. A lot of talking is done about it and it gets into the papers and makes an awfully good impression. .At least, I guess it does outside of town!). Anyway, Conrad has the nicest voice in town for saying that sort of thing and he is always the one who has to say it. And we feel that he gives us such a moral sort of tone — if you know what I mean! The .Academy of Motion Picture .Arts and Sciences is our most uplifting society. They have dinners and there is a lot of conversation about the most inspirins, things! Fairness to one another, you know — and things about not giving the wrong impression to outsiders. While we are on the subject of uplift societies, I really should tell you about the Breakfast Club. It is more like those things that Sinclair Lewis writes about, called Rotary Clubs. Its function is not exactly stated as being for uplift, but they have all kinds of inspiring mottoes stuck up on the walls. The members meet just to have a jolly, good, relaxing time. They ride hobby horses and invite visiting mayors and authors and things out to ride with them. They wise-crack about everything and lots of their jollity is broadcast over the radio. They are always entertaining people of note (if they can get them to get up early enough) — people who Count for Something, vou know. It's funny but none of the people who Count for Something seem to like to get up so early. Bows and Narrows TMK uplift business doesn't seem to have made much impression on our younger set, as yet. I supix>se that takes time. Some of our older, more conservative citizens get in quite a state at sewing bees and things over Clara Bow and Joan Crawford and .Alice White. But I'm really quite tolerant, if I do say it myself, and I think it's nice for youth to have flings, sort of, and everything. Especially when it makes such interesting conversation for everybody else. .My goodness! If some people had their way, the village would be too old-fashioned and dull for \\ords. I wish I knew how those girls go about it — they seem to be awfully popular. But nervous, in a way. If you prefer really nice young people — the kind that your mother would approve of, you know — there are always Buddy Rogers and Mary Brian and people like that. .Anyhow, it's really an awfully nice town and before you know it, we shan't be able to call it the village any more. It's getting so sopbislicitled and sort of high-toned. For my part I shall be sorry to see it getting big and settling down. But, what with all this Iplift and Progress that people are always talking about and folks reading all sorts of racy Yjooks and the people coming frorh New York— I supixjse it can't be hfl[)cd.
