I had a straight man and he fed me the laughs. The 3 laughs were all mine—that's why it was terrible. I didn't do | anything, really. Maybe it was the pictures that played with v the act. Maybe t had good stage bands. I don't know.” It's a great temptation, quoting ZaSu, to finish every sen- tence with Oh-dear. That's because an over-worked screen char- i acter keeps intruding on the flesh-and-blood Miss Pitts, who doesn't actually say “Oh, dea Well, not often. And she doesn’t weave her hands, either. Not much. And she doesn't talk that way, in that mournful, quavery voice. She does almost, but the screen voice as we know it is an exaggeration. | ZaSsu had been having offers for tours for years. Two years ago she couldn't have found time. One year ago she still was too busy. This year she had plenty of time. Two years ago she played in 35 pictures. Last year she played in 25. This year she had plenty of time. v ZaSu is too diplomatic to say why. She wouldn't dream of insinuating that any of those too many pictures were bad ones, | because ZaSu, oh-dear, doesn't want to hurt anybody’s feelings. But that was the trouble. She was making enough pictures to | appear in both sections of a double bill, and sometimes—with F e |l allfor 40¢ — | ‘ you can get soup, salad beverage and ‘ dessert as well as a wide selection of entrees - it's really the finest plate luncheon in Juneau - o« PERCY’S the Hal Roach shorts—to be in every number of a program ept the news-reels and the Mickey Mouse. S It was high time she got away. And when she did, what i happened? Picture offers again. She's in “Always Leave Them Laughing” at Warner’s, goes over to Paramount next. “And there isn’t an Oh-Dear in this sctipt,” she sighed thank- fully. And I'm weaving the hands as little as possible—there’s been enough of that, hasn't there? I'm hoping, sometime, to f get a part that’s half-serious again. I don't mind being laughed at, if only I could work in a little sympathy, a little human stuff, at the same time. . . .” And this, coming from the lady who once was heralded as the screen’s great tragedienne, struck me as a touching compromise. | i ool The voice opened a new career for ZaSu and made her eventually Hollywood’s highest-priced free-lance actress, but it t closed the door on serious roles. | Once, in a talkie, she tried a serious part. It was seriously acted, and a beautiful job. But it never reached the public. The first preview audience roared as soomr as she flashed on the screen, even before she had a chance to open her mouth. They shot the scenes again, with another actress—and used | ZaSu exclusively for laughs thereafter. Still, the case for ZaSu Pitts isn't entirely hopeless.

There’s at least forty- five hundred of them in “45 Fathers,” fun-packed Twentieth Century-Fox picture starring Jane Withers, and featuring Thomas Beck, Louise Henry and the inir table Hartmans, eccentric ventrilo- quists and Broadway satirists of the dance, which opened yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre A group of millionaires draw lots to determine “which lucky man is going to have his life brightened by this sweet little girl?”. and then shout for help as Jane starts throw- ing things around and the ventrilo- quizing Hartmans start throwing their dancing, voices and discretion to the winds in the funiest picture Jane ever made. The highly amusing screen play by Frances Hyland and Albert Ray based on a story by Mary Bickel first finds Jane with the Hartmans, aboard a vessel bound for New York where she is to be adopted by the members of a millionaire ex- | plorer's club of which' her father was a member. A series of hilarious situations |get under way when the insepar- |able trio, after arriving in New York, find their way to the club where the solemn members are thrown into an uproar as Jane goes | on a riotous rampage.

It was a us wHen the orange was pro- ilar place on our year-round Now the drinking of delici- ous, healthful orange juice is a universal What brought about thi¢ change? It was accomplished entirely by advertising. Farm- ers who raised oranges wanted to sell more of them and they advertised the benefits of drinking orange juice. Many of us tried it and liked it, and we bought more oranges. Production’ of oranges went up and prices came down. Annual consumption of oranges increased from 7 per capita to 58, and every- body is happier for it, consumers, farmers, railroads, and grocers. A distinguished physician recently de- seribed how he and other nutrition experts had tried for years to educate the public to drink tomato ju where. Then ce canning tomato ice. But they didn’t get any- rtain food companies started juice. They advertised its pleasing taste and health-giving properties. As a direct result, nearly everybody drinks tomato juice now, and in 1937 the public bought 5,750,000 cases of it. Spinach, long known as a valuable food, has been the bane of many a youngster’s existence. To make children eat it was like pulling teeth. Then, along came Popeye the Sailor. Backed by an advertising appropria- tion, he actually converted children into en- thusiastic spinach-eaters. Popeye’s thou- sands of fans want to be strong, and they thoroughly enjoy their spinach. Copyright 1938, Advertising Federation of Americs Once upon a time, the Roman Emperor Augustus was in a bad way, suffering from some sort of diet ailment. A traveling doctor fed the Emperor on lettuce leaves and he got well. Even that long ago, it seems that some- body knew about the value of green leaves in the human diet. Members of his court imi- tated the Emperor’s eating habits and all began eating salads made of lettuce leaves. But there was no advertising in those days, and salad eating did not become a general custom. Centuries later, Napoleon knew about the value of this kind of food, for he ate it daily. When in the field, his chef pre- pared salads of green leaves from a mnearby tree, if lettuce was not available. But the general public was not greatly influenced by Napoleon’s eccentric eating habits. In this country, less than a generation ago, green salads were almost unknown in the average home. Today we are a nation of salad-eaters. What caused this remarkable change? Advertising, and almost nothing else. Companies that sell dressing and other salad ingredients have educated the public to the health value of fresh green leaves and have taught people how to prepare salads. As a consequence, the average person’s diet has become lighter and decidedly more healthful. Oranges, tomato juice, spinach, and salads. These are only a few of the better foods popu- larized by advertising. There are many more, and the American table is now the best in the world. The good work continues. Adver- tising puts more health in our food and more zest in our meals. §l PR —— AmafeBIOTesSED S S N R B BN R RS AN R R R R R R 8 Mo st i i B i R B e e R
