Let me show you how.” The mother quickly sketched a neat looking tree, altogether dif- ferent from the child’s. “Now, draw one slike she said pencil for a while, trying to draw a tree like mother’s, then sudden- ly tore up the paper. “It's an ugly tree,” she said, “I don’t like it,” and left the room, crying. “A strange child,” said her moth- er, “I try to help her with her drawing and she goes off in a temper like that, I can’t under- stand it.” 2 This mother would understand, if she'd put herself in the child's place. A four-year-old cannot pos- sibly draw so well as an adult. But until she saw her mother’s work, this little girl had been rather proud of her work. Her mother made the mistake of forcing her to compete with her. She made her feel that her efforts were| worthless. She dest.royed her daugh mine," ter’'s sense of accomplishment. It's a trick many well-meaning parents play on their children “Here, I'll show you how to drive a nail” says a father to his six-year-old son. Father drives the (nail. The child is disappointed. ! Father knows everything, son can't seem to do anything right, and what's the use of trying. Better let the child struggle along, driving the nail any which way, hitting his thumb now and then, but generally learning a lot | about the ways of hammers and nails. “Let me do that for “Here's the way.” “Let me shuw ’ you how.” With such phrases as these parent ecan gradually destroy a child’s initiative. It is so much easier to let a big strong grown- up do everything. Worse still, the too-helpful par- ent destroys the child’s self-confi- dence. He makes the child feel inferior and unable to perform any task satisfactorily. Surely, even the most stubborn problem parent realizes that self- confidence is the very foundation of progress in lifé.

The | film ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre, The picture revolves around the manifold activities of the Bordens in their Fifth Avenue home facing Central Park. The father, who has made millions with his pump-man- ufacturing company, suddenly real- izes that his family thinks of him| only as a one-man mint. Despondent, he strolls into the park and encounters a jobless but cheerful working girl. He joins her, enjoys her colorful attitude on life, her scorn of the rich, and after a hectic evening of night- clubbing, takes her home with him as a guest, Her presence scanda- as ter—but it centers the family at- tention on the father for the first time in years. Accordingly, he secretly hires her to stay and help him put on an| elaborate act, calculated to unite his disintegrating home. Under pro- test, she agrees—but the results are somewhat unexpected. She finds herself mixed up in the daughter’s romance and as the object of the son’s exasperation as well as in- terest, while the mother franti- cally tries every method to bring a guest. Her presence scandal-| | her husband to his senses. The upshot of it is that the whole family has its respective troubles solved, although the pro- cess nearly makes a wreck out of | the solver, and the picture takes its stand as one of the ‘ most sprightly offerings. Miss Rogers is perfectly cast as | the nheroine of the hilarious story, and Walter Connolly heads the featured players as the pump- making father. James Ellison as | the radical-minded chauffeur, Tim | Holt as the son, Kathryn Adams as the daughter and Verree Teas- dale as the mother have the other principal roles. Franklin Pangborn, Ferike Boros, Louis Calhern, Theo- dore Von Eltz and Cornelius Keefe also have important parts in the| orrerlng IWARN“IG GWHI T0 PHARMACISTS AND PHYSICIANS All physicians and pharmacists of the State of Washington and the | Territory of Alaska were advised |today that their applications for | re-registry under the Harrison Nar- | cotic Act must be received in the | office of the Collector of Internal Revenue at Tacoma on or before July 1, according to announcement | by Thor W.

She spent a whole day at it and still wasn't sold on homicide. All she had to do was pump lead into a fellow who had done her wrong. Miss Davis was dressed, you might say, to kill . . . very femi- nine and fragile in a long, floaty lavender dinner gown, her only costume jewelry her smoking, blazing gat and the metallic glint in her eye. Toward the end of the day, after some 17 “takes,” plum tuckered out. Miss Davis, to begin with, had left no doubts as to her stand on murder and firearms in general. “I” she admitted to Director William Wyler, “am a Fourth of July girl—the kind who runs to hide when the fireworks go off. I'm scared to death of 'em.” she was Snow wore pink taffeta with a matching quilt-| The business at hand was the opening sequence of “The Let- ter” The late Jeanne Eagels made a highly successful talkie of it a decade ago. The art department had turned a whole stage into a tropical rubber plantation, bathed in moonlight. | There was no moon, but the set dressers had plenty of paint. They painted the brown earthen “floor” with heavy black shadows, infinitely careful that a palm tree should not cast a shadow like a rubber tree's, and vice versa. They shadowed everything, the {l native huts, the shrubs, the old oaken bucket at the well.

TRY OUR FOUN: TAIN, TOO! v.he rubber trees, numenumlly ringed and mpprd m nelrl (from concealed cans) a milky fluid, were really magnolias that cer- tainly was not the camera’s business. This picture, made by a 16-mm camera synchronized with the machine guns on a British pursuit ship, shows, according to the British captions, the destruction of a German Messerschmitt 110, a powerful twin-engined fighting plane. The picture shows the damaged Messerschmitt after two bursts of machine gun bullets ;truek it. The caption calls attention to the blur along the left wing, saying it had developed a “severe flutter,” The camera on a hoom covered most of the set for the atmoc- pheric, sinister beginning. It opened with a shot of the flowing “rubber,” withdrew to peek into a native hut or two, paused briefly at a white cockatoo (which said “Oh, hello!” the first time and sent them back for a new start) and then panned to the closed door of the big thatch-roof house. As the camera approached, unseen, Miss D's first shot rang out. The door opened, and the man who done her wrong (David Newell) staggered out, followed by One-Gun Davis. He stag- gered to the porch column, leaned against it, received five more shots in quick succession, and fell down face first in the gravel walk—out of the scene, out of the picture. Semewhere between the first and twelfth “takes” of this intimate gun-play, Mr. Newell had to be reprieved briefly to have his sides and chest taped for strained muscles, but he kept on dying bravely—as bravely as Miss D kept on shooting. Miss D who doesn't approve of murder anyway, had some little trouble acting like an impassioned killer. Once she cried, with bravadoe, “I'm beginning to enjoy this.” It didn't sound convincing. But Miss D is an actress, and Art won out over Fear. Mr. Newell, somewhat bruised at the end of the day, “It is a pleasure to fall for Miss Davis.” uhg.
