I think Margery Daw and her chaperone must have the first table reserved; they seem to be there every day at the same time. Don't worry about me. Everything's great! I learned that last line from Jerry Storm, before I came west. Jerry is the kind of person who always feels just that way, and no matter what has happened to him, if you meet him with a "Hello, Jerry, how are you?" the answer is always the same "Hello, Peggy! Everything's great!" Your loving daughter, PEGGY ROMPERS. WHY DON'T YOU WRITE THE WORDS FOR A SONG WE'LL HELP YOU ALONG By composing the music free and publishing same. Senti poems today. E. A.

Dept. P. J.. Grand Rapids, Mich., U. S. A. Your Sanitarium at Home The Superfluous American Male (Continued from page 21) by old man 'R. E. Morse.' Alcohol wasn't the one little pleasure he had; it was more often the one little vice he had. He may swear a little, or complain loudly if it is forcibly taken from him; but he isn't going \o emigrate on that account. He has too many other things in life to make it well worth living — among them, the great American girl! The idea that she is indifferent to him, or that he is superfluous to her, would hand anyone in this country a great big laugh. "Directors of public thought who imagine that they are going to refashion the American girl after the continental pattern are over-estimating their powers. Picture producers who are trying to make American women believe that they have to dress and act like professional coquettes in order to attract and hold their own men are featuring absurdities. Nine men out of ten have a horror of their wives looking 'actressy.' They would sulk, curse, or march out of the house if their better halves went in for 'loud' perfume, conspicuous clothing, and obvious make-up. "The theory that every man aspires to marry a raving beauty is another fallacy. I have seen many a Trojan Helen make a poor match, or go on the shelf altogether. As a man said to me 'What do you think, that a man wants to go through life all lit up by reflected glory!' No regular man wants to be known merely as some celebrated woman's husband, and I don't in the least blame him. While women, on the other hand, are perfectly content to be merely the wives of famous men. That shows as clearly as anything that the American man has a proper sense of his own importance, and that the American woman upholds him in it. "The producer who goes to the other extreme amuses me most of all. He would have us believe that in these days of law and order men like ravening wolves are allowed to range the civilized world, ready to pounce upon every simple, innocent, ignorant, awkward young girl (if there are such in these days of printed books and many inventions!). "The men who advance the first doctrine, that every woman must emulate the painted 'vamp,' and the men who preach the second, that the girl-who-would-be-good cannot escape the prowling man-monster, are directly at variance and equally obsessed. Constant harping on these unreal situations would offend motion picture audiences if they did not know them to be preposterous, and if they weren't the bestnatured audiences in the world. Only abnormals or subnormals among us think those things, and would like to have others see life through their inflamed eyes." Miss Sweet is evidently an advocate of "normalcy" in pictures. She is seen at her best in clever, clean, comedy-drama. "Help Wanted — Male," "Her Unwilling Husband," and "That Girl — Montana!" are typical Blanche Sweet plays — entertaining, delightfully human, and true to American life. Bagdad to Maine (Continued from page 45) easily. Elinor couldn't. She had to study from big, ponderous books. She had to learn little eastern mannerisms — how to remove the veil from her face with all the shame of an eastern woman revealing to a man her utmost secrets. How to wander through teeming streets, head down, avoiding the glances of men. And how to play the rare love that the beggar daughter of the beggar father of "Kismet" has for her royal lover. And Elinor has done all this and done it well, in her trip to Bagdad via Maine. m
