CENSUS TAKERS | WORKING TODAY One Hundred and Twenty| Tho!xsand Begin Count- ing Population By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, April 1. — Even weather prophets have softer job than that of the movie fashion The forecasters are called upon to treat only with the comparative- ly stable whims of the elements; the studio fashion designer, luck- less individual, has to fortell what women will be wearing three months, six, or a year from now. The movie fan viewing today a film of ten years ago probably will chuckle a bit at the sight of | WASHINGTON, April 2. — An| army of 120,000 census takers en- the heroine’s “picturesque” gowns. g To some movie fans among tered energetically today into the women, beholding a six-months'- | 8igantic task of counting the Am- erican population. Each worker carried a large port- folio containing a dozen copies or! a long questionnaire that will be put to everyone in the country. It is expected that the count will show a gain of 17,000,000 from 10 years ago, making the popula- tion of the United States over 122,000,000. The population in 1920 was 105,710,620. ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST old style on an allegedly up-to-date screen character inspires equally critical mirth, and it is part of the designer’s job not only to create variations on today's styles, but also to produce what he thinks will be fashion’s mode tomorrow. For the picture made this month may not be released for three or four months more, and in that time in the little world of fashion star- tiing things may happen. F'rinstance Some of the studios’ fashion men have such stylistic prognostication reduced to a science ,full of guess- {work ,true, but based on what one of them calls common sense.

If the chorus feels like interrupting with one of their dance numbers they step right out, and through it all, those inimitable fpolers, the famous Marx Brothers, keep bang- ing away with their inane, ridicu- Jous lunatic jesting. Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zep- po! Who has ever seen of heard of them, would ever miss an oppor- tunity to laugh with them again? They are superb and they register just as perfectly on camera and microphone as they ever did on the stage. Those who seen “The Cocoanuts,” at the Coliseum theatre will see the same show as those who saw “The Cocoanuts” during its year run at $6.60 top, on the Broadway stage. And they'll see and hear more. Irving Berlin, who wrote the origi- | nal music and lyrics for “The Co-| coanuts,” contributed the catchyl new theme song, “When My Dreams | Come True,” to the screen presen- tation. And Mary Eaton, Zieg-! feld’s scintillating blonde star, and Oscar Shaw, Broadway's favorite leading man, have the romantic leads. And choruses of unsurpassed beauty and settings of lavish gor- geousness, beautifully photographed, entertain. | Every iteni in the production has been provided with generosity and the result is entertainment, delight- ful entertainment that sweeps you away in a fairy-land of laughter and music and romance.

Born in Nebraska, he was in the saddle in his early childhood, and for years worked on ranches in ‘Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and oth- er states. Hoot does his stuff as a cowboy in “The Long, Long Trail” one of the most stirring and color- ful of his many successful pictures. Sally Eilers has the role of leading lady and Arthur Rosson directed. It is Hoot's first talking picture.

April 2—The newest vitamin, G, will be explained by chemists at the American Chemi- cal Society meeting here April 7 to 11. It is chemistry’s latest discovery in the diet line, so new that its yalues have not been agreed upon yet by the medical profession. The chemists will undertake to show I existence, source and some of its healthmaking powers. Some of the sources will be de- tailed by Paul L. Day, of Columbia University. Beef, he says, con- tains this vitamin. In the order of their vitamin G content he ranks the parts of beef as follows: liver, kidney, heart and muscle. Professor Henry C. Sherman of Columbia and Anne Bourquin, re- search assistant, will tell how they have been able to measure the vit- amin G values of various foods. They will describe animals which took on weight and showed growth apparently due to the new vitamin. Miss Hazel E. Munsell of the De- partment of Agriculture, Washing- ton, will tell how a vitamin G diet can be prepared outside of a lab- oratory. Other vitamin G re- search will be reported by N. B. Guerrant, professor of chemistry of Oklahoma A. & M. and by W. D. Salmon of the Alabama Experiment station Some new information on pella- gra, indicating that many persons not considered victims, really suffer from milder forms of the disease, will be presented. The chemists hold that pellagra is a diet disease due to improper amounts of vita- min G. The first announcement of a vita- min effective against pellagra was made in 1927 by the late Dr. Joseph Goldberger of the U. 8. Hygenic laboratory. He called it vitamin P-P and demonstrated that proper diet cures this often fatal disease. - oy MARY Tectric SYSTEM THEAA AR X BROS.
