WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
EW YORK.—Just a year ago,
Will H. Hays noted a possibly
regrettable tendency of the movies
toward "escapism.” This led to
Bitty Hay. Now was™ sue!
A Matter of cumbing to the
Fact Eudemonist ver bal enchant
__ ments of the
Hollywood intelligentsia. That all
blew over, but here is Mr. Hays
today frankly proclaiming himself a
eudemonist. Our somewhat con
servative dictionary is a bit vague
about it, but, in his rough outlines,
a eudemonist seems to be one who
believes in fairies.
In his annual report as president
of the Motion Picture Producers &
Distributors of America, Mr. Hays
cites with satisfaction the record
box-office success of “Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs,” and is hap
py that “there are still a number of
eudemonists left in the world.”
There is no disparaging or invidious
reference to non-eudemonists, but,
since Mr. Hays also reports with
gratification that there are no
“isms” and no “social significance”
in “Snow White,” it is perhaps a
fair inference that such black witch,
ery is the dramatic antithesis.
Practicing law in Sullivan,
Ind., the homespun, sagacious
Mr. Hays was no rising young
eudemonist. That came later. He
was, however, a rising young
Republican politician and a
Presbyterian elder, one of the
deftest inner-circle technicians
of the Indiana party tourna
ments, where professional stand
ards and scoring are high. That
led him inevitably to what
statesmen of his earlier day
used to call “political prefer
ment,” and, as postmaster gen
eral in President Harding’s
cabinet, he exercised political
power of wide range and pene
tration.
For seventeen years now, he has
headed the moving picture industry.
A round of eight
“silents,” when
he left his cab
inet post, and
now about 28
‘Czar* la Out,

Aa Hia Handle
companies putting out highly vo
ciferous films—no wonder he be
lieves in fairies. He doesn’t like to
be called “czar,” preferring just
plain “Bill,” if there is any call for
an informal salutation. Hearing
him wind up in an address, or even
in casual talk, one could understand
how he could be a eudemonist, as
he invokes the founding fathers or
the palladium of our liberties,
against this or that, but he usually
coppers such oratorical bets with a
remark like this: “And, after all, it
probably wouldn’t work.” Thus he
is revealed as what might be called
• pragmatic eudemonist.
In his county seat town, he
inherited his father's land-law
business. A fragile man, with
a slight limp and outstanding
ears, he has the mannerisms of
the country lawyer, and he wins
over opposition, as he used to
win juries, with a winsome and
disarming smile. He is at times
a euphcmist, as well as a eu
demonist—insisting. for in
stance, that censorship is mere
ly “self-regulation.” Several
years ago, he was worrying be
cause the movies were going
“masochist.”
Sullivan, Indiana, is still home
base for Mr. Hays and he is the
town’s favorite son, in spite of his
philological flare-up.
IT WOULD be fine if we had t>
* cash register which would ring
up a true prophecy when it was
turned in. About a year and a half
ago, George
Messersmith,
assistant secre
tary of state,
former consul-

Moves Early
general at Berlin, called Adolf Hit
ler's next moves as clearly and ac
curately as a spieler for an old-fash
ioned barn dance. He turned in to
the state department a precise state
ment of what der fuehrer had on
his mind, now fully validated and
certified. Naturally, it got little at
tention because it was obviously in
credible.
The Nazis can’t say it was a
prejudiced opinion. When Hitler
was emerging, Mr. Messersmith
thought “evolution would follow
revolution,” and everything
would work out nicely. He
changed his mind. When Dr.
Albert Einstein suffered certain
indignities in getting his pass
port, Mr. Messersmith was un
justly accused of responsibility.
This was all straightened out
and President Roosevelt npped
him as minister to Austria.
He returned to his present post in
July, 1938. He was for 14 years
superintendent of the Delaware
schools before entering the consular
service.

Star Dust
★ Deanna Stays Deanna
★ Bouquets for McCarey
★ Clothes Make the Guide
By Virginia Vale
jEANNA DURBIN seems
to be the current heroine
D
of moviedom, because of her
excellent performance in
“Three Smart Girls Grow
Up.” A lot of people who
liked “Three Smart Girls”
were pretty sure that they
wouldn’t like this sequel; sequels
have away of being disappointing,
especially in the movies.
Then along came Universal with
the announcement that in this one
their money-making little star
turned glamorous. That made ev
erything much worse. If Deanna
was going in for slinky gowns and
false eyelashes even the critics who
had always liked her were going to
use barbed adjectives, and urge
their readers to stay far, far away
DEANNA DURBIN
from theaters where those three par
ticular smart girls grew up.
But along came the picture, and
there has been dancing in the
streets. The picture is swell, and
Deanna isn’t “glamorous,” she’s
just herself. It’s a picture that ev
erybody ought to see.
Our hero this time is Leo McCar
ey, director-producer, who also did
a turn as writer for “Love Affair.”
The picture is one of the best that
has come out of Hollywood in a long,
long time. When you see it, you
might pause and think of how very
bad it might have been, were it not
so expertly done. With a couple of
not very good actors in the roles
played by Irene Dunne and Charles
Boyer, with a run-of-the-mill direc
tor, it could easily have been a B
picture.
Several bouquets should go to Mc-
Carey for his work on the writing
end also. His movie career began
with writing, you know. Hal Roach
suggested that he become an actor,
and he replied that he’d rather be
come a writer. Within six months
he was a studio executive; then he
directed Laurel and Hardy and
Charlie Chase comedies for five
years, and fn 1936 he directed “Rug
gles of Red Gap” for Paramount
and was all set for big things.
“Love Affair” was developed out
of an idea of his, with Miss Dunne
and Boyer in mind for the picture.
Don’t miss it!
If you liked “The Citadel” you’ll
be glad to know that “Vigil in the
Night,” by the same author, has
been bought as a .starring vehicle
for Carole Lombard. A romantic
drama, it tells of the love and sac
rifices of a young woman who wants
to save her sister, a student nurse,
from the results of a moment of
carelessness which leads to the
death of a hospital patient.
Jack Berch, one of NBC’s hand
some young baritones, recently dis
covered that clothes are more im
portant than he thought. With sum
mer just ahead, he bought a yacht
ing outfit, and liked it so much that
he wore it right out of the tailor’s
and back to Radio City.
He was on his way through the
first-floor corridors to the elevators
when an elderly lady stopped him.
“Young man,” said she, “I stopped
to look at one of the murals here,
and the touring group I was with
has gone on. Please continue my
tour.”
Berch used to be a small-town
boy, and learned to be polite to el
derly ladies. So, cursing his yacht
ing cap, he escorted her to the front
door, industriously describing the
murals they passed on the way.
There she discovered her group, and
he fled to the studios, his cap in his
hand.

HOW TO SEW
by Ruth Wyeth Spears
««r\EAR MRS. SPEARS: My
living room is looking very
smart and gay; the clear sketches
on how to fit and make slipcovers
in your Book 1, SEWING, for the
Home Decorator, have been a
great help.
“I think you would especially
like one slipcover I have made.
While shopping in a drapery de
partment I found some braid U/4

that I had to find away to use it.

TIPS to
Gardeners
Fer+lliier Usage
can’t go on produc-
ing excellent flowers and
vegetables year after year without
an application of fertilizer now
and then. Because stable manure
is difficult to obtain, a complete
commercial fertilizer recommend
ed by your dealer will prove most
satisfactory. Before applying fer
tilizer, however, give considera
tion to a few simple, practical
hints.
First, be cautious! Never apply
fertilizer recklessly or over-abun
dantly. Don’t be like the man
who saw a neighbor get good re
sults from a sparing use of ferti
lizer. He proceeded to apply 10
times as much, but expecting 10
times as good results—but his gar
den proved worthless.
Broadcast the complete fertiliz
er over the soil 10 days before
planting, using about three pounds
per square rod. Three or four
weeks after p]onl<«Jrii the garden
seems a bit backward, apply a
side dressing. Sprinkle fertilizer
lightly alongside the rows, about
six inches from the plants; then
cultivate. Apply only from one
to two pounds per square rod of
garden.
From Happiness
“As you hold loving thoughts to
ward every person and animal
and even toward plants, stars,
oceans, rivers and hills, and as
you are helpful and of service to
the world, so you will find your
self growing more happy each
day, and with the happiness comes
health and everything you want.”
-Luther Burbank.
