TSS DEPT. 47-N 170 BROADWAY, NY Will Wally Reid's Son Succeed Him? {Continued from page 50) GROWING MORE LIKE WALLY W ALLY'S son looks like Wally in every respect save that he has his mother's eyes. The color of her eyes. The expression is his father's. Young Bill is, actually, the perfect repplica of his father's physical being. He is the exact replica of his father as he was in adolescence and early manhood. At the age of eleven the two were quite different. Which would seem to indicate that young Bill is a step ahead in the game of racial progress. Each succeeding generation should improve upon the preceding one, should be at least a step advanced or we shall never attain to the Nietzschean superman. Young Bill has no inferiority complex. His father had one. Young Bill doesn't care much whether people like him or not. He doesn't think about it. They do or they don't. It's fine, either way. He doesn't make friends as easily or as eagerly as his father did. He withholds himself more. He is more reticent, slower to approve, more discriminating and judicial. He is like his father was in early maturity, when the feet of clay had shown. Which is a good thing for him. He has his father's sense of humor, developed at an earlier age. He has his father's intensive versatility. Wally did all sorts of things, from making golf-sticks to acting. Young Bill has the same trait and is just as ardent about his passing enthusiasms as his father was before him. The saxophone is one of his passions. He can play it like a fool. Music, in fact, runs a pretty consistent chord through his life. So much so that the career of a musician is not unlikely for him. He is studying the violin at the moment and making precocious progress. A FLAIR FOR FLYING AERONAUTICS is another of his con-^i suming passions. He has been up several times and is enormously enthusiastic about it. Like his father, his enthusiasms are never superficial. He goes into whatever his hobby may be until he has wrung the matter dry of every last ounce of information. Probably not even Lindbergh knew more about flying at the age of eleven than young Bill does right now. He has, of course, his father's mechanical turn of mind. He can take clocks and ships and shoes and sealing-wax apart and put them together again. And he does, with an artist's absorption. He reads everything there is to read. He goes to bed nights with a book under his pillow. His favorite reading matter is fact: statistics and biography. He goes in for swimming, tennis, golf and running, even as his father did before him. Bill is being brought up with his mother, his maternal grandmother and his yearyounger adopted sister, Betty. The adoption of the small and tattered Betty, by the way, was one of the last deeds Wally ever did. He loved her. Because young Bill is surrounded by members of the gentler sex, his mother is sending him to the Hollywood Military Academy. She believes that he should have masculine discipline, contact and point of view. He comes home every other week-end, very soldierly and very male and dominating. A QUARTER A WEEK THE boy gets twenty-five cents every week by way of allowance. No more. No less. His mother believes that few things are so dangerous for the very young as too much and too easy money. The safest, sanest, happiest years of her life with Wally were when they were budgeting their very modest income, paying a dollar down and a dollar a week on house and lot and victrola and car and allowing themselves about twenty dollars a month for clothes and amusements. If those years had lingered, might not Wally be here still? And Bill is very careful with his quarter. Now and then he puts it out on loan. But he always gets a bonus for it. He is never De Gaston Never in Hollywood has there been a more perfect example of domestic contentment and completeness of understanding than that of the married life of Wallace Reid and his wife, formerly Dorothy Davenport 84
