HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 2—The life of a Hollywood scribbler of pieces for the papers is fraught with peril. He is forever sticking his neck out, making people mad, saying the wrong thing. Even if it is the right thing, some people get mad. They write letters and you wonder how you can live with yourself. You wonder if the world would be well rid of such a scurvy character. You feel like a monster. Probably you are one. And the world is so full of a number of things to say the wrong thing about. People, of course. But things, too. Innocent, lovely- sounding things like—like the VIOLA D'’AMORE. Would you, or you, believe that danger lurked in casual reference to a musical instrument? No? Recently, in happy ignorance, it was reported here that a Metro musician mastered this “practically obsolete instrument” for a movie score—but what, I inquired, would he do with the art now? Well, now I know. People have written letters. I am informed from several sources that the VIOLA D'AMORE, far from being obsolete, is a favorite instrument of several people. I have learned that a celebrated artist, Mme. Alix Young Maruchess, is “inter- nationally hailed” for her concerts with VIOLA D'AMORE and viola. The same Madame Maruchess, to my present confusion, not only gives concerts but it was she who played the VIOLA D'AMORE music in the movie “Romeo and Juliet.” “What do you mean—what will he do with the art now?’ Tell him he can tuck his VIOLA DAMORE under his arm and tour the world,” demands a lady in Santa Fe, N. M., more politely than some. I am contrite. I sit here, wearing my dunce cap at a be- get full enjoyment from this holiday season. Dine where you can be sure that your dinner will be the best that expert chefs can prepare, where service a PERCY’S e IR wildered angle and I tremble. I can scarcely go on. Never again will I tangle with a VIOLA D'’AMORE. I shall play safe—but can one play safe? . Things like this wear on the nerves. They make you feel as T expect to feel after seeing “The Son of Frankenstein.” They tell me this is the horror film to end all. They tell me that Basil Rathbone will join forces with Karloff and Lugosi to squeeze the last chill from the paying customers. They tell me. Things like this make you feel woozy. That’s the way Marie Wilson feels, remember, when she sees Eddie Albert act. They tell me Marie has wooziness aplenty ahead. They tell me she’s got to act with the guy whose acting makes her feel woozy. In “The Poor Nut,” they tell me. 1 think T feel the way Eddie Albert fell in “Brother Rat.” Confused, sort of, T think—but I'm not sure—that Eddie could help They tell me he’s the man who introduced the double malted milk to Minneapolis. I hear—but don't ask me to prove it—that Eddie writes poetry and isn't ashamed of it. And you don’t want to make anything out of it, either, in case he asks. At least, so I've been told. You see what it does to you—to me, I mean? Today, I'd intended to strike out vigorously against such silly goings-on as are going on today. Joan Crawford carrying a muff, f'rinstance, just cause it’s stylish, when only the demure should carry muffs. But I'm frightened silly. g T'm-scared because the same people who know about the VIOLA D'AMORE might LIKE Joan Crawford to carry a muff. 1 mean—that—is—at least—begging your PARDON. . i me out.

In the remote regions where these tricks of magic are performed, the in- habitants know nothing of electricity, plumb- ing, or fast transportation. These same spellbound audiences of the Hindu Fakirs would be equall; if they could witness the m dumbfounded ern magic per- formed as a matter of daily routine in the kitchens of American homes. You could amaze them by a simple demonstration of an automatic electric roaster. You would put the meat in a little metal box without fire any- where near it, turn a button, and go off to a movie. Hours later, you would take out a perfectly done roast. No Hindu magic can beat that. The average American kitchen is full of equipment that would be magic to primitive people. The electric light itself is a- major wonder, and the handsome porcelain sink, with its unlimited quantities of hot and cold water constantly on tap, is hardly less. Yet four-fifths of all the homes in this country are equipped with one or both of these facilities. Your mechanical refrigerator would fairly hypnotize a savage from the tropics. Imagine his astonishment at the magic box which is always cold inside, and even manu- factures little cubes of ice. How many house- holders really know how it works? Most of Copyright 1938, Advertis us haven’t the slightest idea. We take such things for granted, and would be very much put out if our refrigerator did not give per- fect service. Kitchen magic has lifted many burdens from the modern housewife. Washday, for instance, is a lot different from what is used to be. Nearly all homes have washing ma- chines now, and almost half of them are run by electricity. Many have electric wringers too. Ninety-eight percent of all homes wired for electricity have electric irons. The newer rones are automatic, keeping the iron at just the heat you want. Many other of your magic household ap- pliances are labor savers and comfort makers. The ingenious coffee percolator, the tricky orange juicer and meat chopper, the indis- pensable vacuum cleaner, and the handy automatic bread toaster. New helpful de- vices are put on the market every year. What causes all this? These things do not just happen. The reason is simply that Amer- ican industry is so constituted that it thrives on new inventions. And the reason why in- dustry thrives on new inventions is that the American public quickly. adopts anything useful and desirable, if it is well advertised. Only through advertising can new products readily be introduced to the public. Large demand is necessary before house- hold appliances can be produced at low cost, and consumers cannot demand something they do not know about. That is why adver- ' tising is so important to progress. Advertis- ing is working for us now, bringing more magic to our homes and more happiness to our lives. ing Federation of Amerwca
