...Tell," "Queer Things about Marriage," "Forget It," "The Secret of Happiness" are like newspaper headlines: they promise everything, tell nothing. Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen in their philosophical moments, if sufficiently steeped in journalese and colloquialisms, might have written these same little pills of advice.

Last week a nervous little man grinned his twisted grin in the grounds of White Pine Camp. He offered a proposition to President Coolidge-to set aside 20 vaults of the proposed $2,000,000 Archives Building in order to preserve for posterity historical films.

Frances Grant, the Mammy who tours around with Miss Mackaill as Miss Mackaill seeks her revenge, is a bit stifling after the first broad grin. The patrons of the Metropolitan might however disagree-at least they did one night this week. Perhaps she, broad grinned daughter of darkness, is also a part of that world which is "so typically Michael Arlen...
