Slams and SalvOS— Continued from page 97
four year old child who demanded tearfully, "What are the boys doing to Charlie?" He was promptly hushed up.
I crept from the theatre. Give the audience back their custard pies — that's all they understand. Main Street — Broadway. Gopher Prairie — New York. They are not so far apart, after all.

THAT RICH CHARM
Movieland to me will always be linked with that most charming star, Irene Rich. Passing by her attractive home one eve, I visualized in my mind her genuineness as I had seen it so often portrayed on the cinema screen. Hers is a lasting beauty and unaffected charm as I had always believed and always will. Who could forget her sincerity in "Ned McCobb's Daughter"' and "Craig's Wife"?. Someday, somehow, somewhere, I hope to meet her in person.

SPEAK AMERICAN
It has taken me most of my life to learn to play Beethoven, and so when I saw a girl, like Joan Crawford was supposed to have been in "Dance, Fools, Dance," one assiduously engaged in the art of perfect smoking, perfect swimming, and perfect dancing — "snort off" the Moonlight Sonata (even a la Jazz) without a flaw, it made me realize what a wonderful thing a reproducing piano is !
How contradictory this girl ! Cultured enough to say "bean" for been, but not cultured enough to spell exaggerate and parallel correctly.
It may be all right for Give Brook, Ronald Colman, and other Englishmen to speak English as Englishmen speak it with their "beans," "cawn'ts," "leftenant," "luggage," ct cetera, but for the sake and love of everything American, why not have Americans be natural and speak American ?

A PLEA FOR BETTER OPERETTAS
I saw the German screen operetta, "Zwei Herzen im Yn, Takt." It made me jealous of the Germans who can hear such plays frequently. Why can't we have plays like this? Our "singies," Jeanette MacDonald variety, are so artificial. The songs seem to be dragged in by the heels ; action stops while the heroine breaks gaily into irrelevant song.
In this German operetta, the music belonged there ; the songs were truly a part of the story; they were a delight to listen to.
I saw the play ten times, and it was in German, too, and the only German I know is ja and ncin. I cannot remember ever having had the courage to sit through an American musical comedy twice. So. please, can't something be done about it? I'm dreadfully poor and I don't know how I'll ever raise enough money for passage to Germany !
