Acrobatics are an important part of the curriculum at the Curtis
School. Two of the girls demonstrate their skill in this sport.
The girl on the right is Marcelite Boles, daughter of John Boles
and an accomplished athlete
mendously. He can prove this with records which show that eighty per cent of the students transferred from Curtis to the public grammar or high schools are advanced from one to three grades in all branches f academic work. Let us follow a hypothetical student, first, through the amazing pyramid of details attend ant upon his entrance into the Curtis School, and then on through his courses. His mother, let us say, is ( lloria Glorious, a famous Mar, and her five-yearold Jimmy is the sugared apple of her eye, even more sugared than her studio contract.

Not only her mind will be trained, but her body as well. And when a boy or a girl can swim, ride, skate, play tennis and golf expertly, there isn't going to be much loneliness or restlessness ahead for them."
And Clive Brook is right.
When the body is trained as skilfully as the brain, life is bound to be a nicely balanced, absorbing affair.
And it is the convincing theory of J. Howard Broadbent and his staff of a dozen instructors, a theory based on the findings of a decade, that physical prowess speeds up mental development tre
Naturally these Hollywood youngsters are interested in dramatics! The
girl on the extreme right is Sheila McLaglen, the daughter of Victor.
