Grandparents who believe babies are born to be petted and coddled will enjoy it most as the picture vindicates their theory. Despite its labeling of Denny’s “child specialist” as a quack, it pokes fun through wild exaggeration at many modern approaches to child- training, and proclaims—by implication at least—that Maid Hat- tie McDaniel’s child thrives on a diet of pork chops while the Jones baby “does poorly” on a scientific feeding schedule. And this (it's the papa in me!) is fine business for the Joneses to be up to. Shame on them! # «Flirting With Fate” is Joe E. Brown's adventures as leader of a troupe of actors stranded in South America. Leo Carrillo is (presumably) the bes’ dam’ caballero in all S.

Beverly Roberts, with little enough to do, is the heroine. «Flirting With Fate” promises to fare well only with the army of Brown addicts. is reported to hav tructo Arl- in Seat- ide-split- 1 been say; s steal the show | Leni Riefenstahl h Schneider, | as the professional | e- of | - tery (a battle ;T '.\l;:u{ ] par- | | tention, THE DAILY FRANCIS LEDERER N PLAY FEATURED ATLOCALTHEATRE ' "Lone Wolf in Paris” Ends ight on Screen at Capitol Bringing to the and most creen one of the exciting romantic of the year, Columbia’s Wolf in Pa withr it ound of continenta an ideal vehicle Francis Lederer Frances Drak opt ed adventure at Capitol offered a 1 st dies Lone ful back ue, prove arm beaut The for the ¢ of and the of In th tory, now the Lederer i that fits him lik ove, and he bring Vance's famed mest successfully es Drake, the beautiful incess of Arvenne, seeking to vor the crown jewels of her cc 1 ry. matches Lederer with a sterlin rerformance Michel I sxpresses a ¢ do tel Napoleon till led and where his every watched Although he minutes before pen and he find, Theatre, yverbial Loui sman the Josepl Pr re- nyard, the Lone Wolf 'sire to go straight.

The mop is an ancient and honorable symbol of cleanliness at any price. With its modern companions of the cleaning closet, it stands for social progress and eman- sipation from household drudgery. ac How many women give due credit to that wonderful invention, the dustless mop? With a few flicks of your wrist, the fluffy contraption flits about on your \\d\(‘(l floor, restoring shiny cleanliness between the time the doorbell rings and the unexpected com- pany walks in. The man who first made and advertised this boon to housekeepers de- ‘serves a medal for distinguished serv. One of the best things about the mop is the company it keeps. Its close companion, the vacuum cleaner, saves hours and hours of hard labor every week in the year. In place of ten million housewives beating rugs in the back vard, ten thousand workmen are now busy in factories, making vacuum cleaners for them and earning wages for themselves and their families. Another highly useful member of the household clan of cleaners is the washing machine. Although taken pretty much for granted nowadays, the power washer has saved wear and tear on more millions of feminine backs, fingers, and tempers than has almost anything else you can think of. Neither the vacuum cleaner nor the power \m.\hzny machine would ever have become a common household appliance if these articles had not been advertised. Women would not have known about their advantages. The first washing machines did not spread very fast throughout the country, because they were not advertised much, and they were not improved rapidly, either. But when advertising got on the job, then housewives really became washing-machine- conscious and they certainly did buy them. Manufacturers sold more washers and could afford to put more money into the work of designing improvements. In this way adver- tising gave jobs to inventors, with the result that today’s washing machine is as modern as a new eight-cylinder automobile, and it is streamlined too. National advertising is absolutely the only way new inventions can be popularized quick- ly and at relatively small expense for each unit. The cost of advertising vacuum sweep- ers and washing machines is only about 3 per cent of the price of each article, which is extremely small compared with the amount of other costs saved through the use of ad- vertising.. The total selling expense would be much higher if these articles were not advertised, and consymers would have to pay more. This is also true of many other popular work-saving utensils. Making housework easier is one of the regular jobs of advertis- ing, and the list of work-savers that it has in- trodueed into the average American home ix endless. And one of the best things about it is that advertising pays for itself by being a very efficient salesman. Advertising actu- ally lowers the cost of many useful articles.
