Ace Director Clarence Brown recalls that in the days of the silent. pictures the saying was that the worst pictures had the most titles, and a really great picture such as ‘‘The Last Laugh'' had no titles at all. Now it seems likely that one of the great talking pictures has proved that the bigger they are, the less the actors say. ‘‘Edison, the Man,'' Mr. Brown's latest directorial effort, goes a long way toward proving that fact. There is perhaps half a reel during the climatic sequence in which hardly a word is spoken. ‘The suspense during the 40-hour test of Edison's first electric bulb, I tried to relate entirely in pictorial terms,'' said the director. ‘‘And that is the stretch during which the audience is most acutely attentive.'' siecle inane Wayne Morris can't escape the Lane sisters. If he isn't acting with Priscilla, he's acting with Rosemary. Priscilla's one up on her sister; she teamed with him in *‘Love, Honor and Behave,' ‘"‘Brother Rat,' and "Brother Rat and a Baby.'' Rosemary won him in ‘‘An Angel From Texas,' and she's his romance again in ‘‘Ladies Must Live,'' their current picture at Warner Brothers'. Meanwhile the romance of his personal life seems to have hit the rocks. 1c 7iN Betty Brewer, Paramount's 13year-old discovery who is making her film debut opposite Fred MacMurray in ‘‘Rangers of Fortune,' has. a suggestion for anyone who wants to learn a foreign language.

It is based on Mrs. Johnson's autobiography, and is the first pictorial dramatic thriller of a famous woman explorer. It tells the story of 27 years of adventure, shared by the Johnsons. The Court of Missing Heirs, a halfhour radio program which has been taking only 25 minutes because of Elmer Davis' news broadcasts, has moved from its customary spot on CBS to one-half an hour earlier, which will give it a full half hour.

"Fifth column,' you know, is one of the phrases coined in the late Spanish war. It means those enemies within our own ranks, those quiet forces that operate underground, winning converts and gaining strength that is someday to be used against America. How strong these elements are, in our country, I don't know, and I don't suppose anyone else does. When I was young it was the Socialists who were appealing to the restless and rising generation. But they never put a candidate into of- fice; they never formed anything like a formidable party. And so much more violent, radical and unnatural are the isms of today that much that the Socialists advocate has come to seem to us quite practicable. America Has Progressed. For although we never adopted a socialist platform, our ideals have changed. Working hours and wage scales and living conditions have all undergone changes: Time doesn't bring about ALL that the reformers want, but it does much, and to read Henry George's great land value classic ‘‘Progress and Poverty'' today is to realize that the world really HAS grown better-at least in America, since 1878. If fear for Americanism, our institutions and ideals, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, really haunts you, there is a simple thing that you can do to check, combat and eventually destroy the last shred of anti-American activity in our midst. For these foreign doctrines, brought here by the disaffected from other lands, reach our rising generation first. In other words they reach your children and mine. And those children, like the children of every generation, are looking about the world critically, wondering why so many things are stupidly done, wrongly done; why there is so much preventable poverty and idleness and suffering and sin. When strange panaceas are presented to them they accept them gladly, neither able nor anxious to criticize them too keenly. The cure for this situation, which is actually worrying America very much, was suggested to me a few days ago by a fine old American woman who has raised sons, taken an active part in the hundred civic and social activities, and who served America as one of California's representatives in congress for many years. I see no reason to conceal her name: Florence Kahn. Mrs. about Study the Constitution.

I wish they'd take the matter right into their homes, read the Constitution aloud at the dinner table, discuss it, get the children to discuss it, and keep it up-keep it up-keep it up!

It has often occurred to me that it is a pity that the old fashion of good talk at dinner-time has gone out. Judging from old American books and biography and letters it was a pretty usual custom a hundred years ago. It may do the whole family good to have you revive it. The father or man of the household may greet this idea with a groan. "Darling, I'm dead tonight. Do we have to have politics at the table?'"" he may plead. But persist anyway. The best system is quietly to produce the book that is to be read; handing it from one to another, and keeping steadily to a 10minute program, night after night. Of course it will presently run to far more than 10 minutes, and lively arguments will trail themselves right out of the dining room and continue over the dishpan, but that's exactly what you want. Drill them all in Americanism until there remains no question as to the potentialities of their own Constitution that they need leave unanswered. Don't warn anyone of what you are doing, for both husband and children have a deep-rooted objection to being educated, but make your dinner-table a little political forum for a few months, and you'll find that --_-_-_-_-___--_ have have ment, Greatest and Testing A machine test the tires by material pacts to subjected Tires mga has been invented $e o durability of automobih ets subjecting samples of thebie o to twice the number of imp-she which the tires would Bud in use.
