NUEL COHEN, editor of Pathe has returned to New York from a seven-week European tour, during which he traveled through 11 countries—France, Italy, Austria, Po- land, Germany, Latvia, Ru: Czech slovakia, Lithuania, Belgium and England—studying conditions and en- larging the foreign staff of the pineer news film The results of Mr. Cohen’s trip are summed up by him as follows “The news film has a fane higher mission in the world than the mere entertainment of its millions of fol lowers. “Ever since its incept 15 years ago, Pathe News has carried on a quiet but vitally effective campaign aimed at bringing about understand ing and sympathy among nations. at showing one part of the world how the other parts live. what problems they face. what means they are tak- ing to solve them.

A rather tragic item comes from the office of the New York Theater Guild announcing that 88 students have been dropped from its school of acting after a preliminary month. Fifty are left to continue their work in this course, to which apparently many are called but few are chosen. The school begins its new term in September. A sister to “One Man's Woman,” a late offering of last season, is an- nounced for this season in “Any Man's Woman,” which will. as was the first, be written and produced by Michael Kallessor. Richard Herndon will start re- hearsals at once of “Treat 'Em Rough,” a new play by Frederic and Fanny Hatton. Genevieve Tobin and George Gaul will be featured in it.

Clif- ford Brooke, director of the National Theater Players the past two sea- son, thinks he has hung up an enviable record. 1lle has directed everything from musical comedy to Shakespeare and back again in his time, including “How's the King?" the new Anne Nichols production. Dorothy Tierney of the National Theater Players, nrounting as their next production, “Applesauce,” is & mixture of Irish and French. From the Celts she gets her humor; from the Gallic branch of the family she draws her sense of the artistic, which has come to excellent account in work of designing interior decora- tions for the National stock produc- tions. Crosby Gaige and Hugh Ford. will start rehearsals within the next tw weeks., of “The Man Who Forgot, by Owen Davis and S. N. Behrman. This play is a unique excursion, in dramatic form, into the realm of the subconscious made popular by Drs. Freud, Brill, Jung, Tridon and others. It was performed last month at Skowhegan, Me., by Howard Lind- say's stock company, with Arthur Byron and Eric Dresser in the cast UST why intimate interest should attach to stock players, when ex- cellent players in road companies come and go for years with bare notice beyond that of the reviewer, seems one of the mysteries of the theater business that few can ex- plain. It is, nevertheless, a fact attested by the ever-increasing popularity of the Natlonal Theater players, each of whom, as he or she comes upon the stage, week in and week out, is, halled with volumes of applause be- fore they have ever had a chance to do anything that merits it. Nor does there seem to be any dis- crimination in bestowing it, for each player in turn receives the heartiest kind of welcome at the first entrance. And this special mark of favor on the part of audlences night after night is emphasized by the splendid attend- ance at all the performances that have been given, now close on to two full Summer seasons, regardless of weather or other natural discomforts that may arise. Perhaps it may help the applaud- ing patrons some to give them a still more intimate glimpse at one of these players, Romaine Callender, who is one of the high favorites at all times. Mr. Callender was born in Eng- land, and, though his father also was an actor, he was immediately singled out by his parents for the medical profession. Too well bred to openly resist parental authorit which he knew'was mistakenly exerted for his own best welfare, he nevertheless adopted a bit of philosophy in the choice of his school. Instead of the institution where they carve cadavers and dissect the human form divine, Mr. Callender (urned to the theater, where people are made well without medicine. His first course in this novel school of medicine was in the managerial department, and so he became the manager of the Theater Royal, at Sheffield, England, and later of the Theater Royal, at Leicester. Having learned the art of finding managerial joy in counting box office receipts, Mr. Callender decided to ad- vance a grade higher, and so went behind the footlights. L His first case was “True as Steel.” in' which he starred with another Aesculapian of his school, and such was the effect upon his English patients that he continued doing good deeds along the same line, even his own father contributing several of the plays in which he brought peace, com- fort and joy to his English patients. Dr. Callender’d work in Washing- ton is too fresh in the minds of his wonderful clientelle to discuss. Need- less to say, he has kept up his good work here ‘with increasing skill and success. Indeed, it is freely asserted that, assuming the old saw, “laugh and grow fat” to be well founded, with “Charley's Aunt” the past week Dr. Callender alone has increased the avoirdupols of capacity audience at every performance infinitely more than the majority would care to ad- mit, especially the girls. Dr. Callender, however, ‘is a versa- tile physician in his line. as highbrow Winter audlences will admit who saw him in George C. Tyler's all-star pro- duction of “The School for Scandal, with Mrs. Fiske, and in “Merton of the Movies.” There are few who will doubt the efficiency of his cures when it comes to clean, clever and convincing comedy. Then and Now. AINED observers, doctors, detec- tives, Rotarians, Lions, Kiwa- nians, Masons, ministers and mothers. have reported that out in the United States of America—which lles north, northeast, northwest, south, southeast and southwest of the Harlem River, some boys and girls still do their courting in the honest old-fashioned the honest old-fashioned the early Rutherford . Hayes era. Believing that in the age of jazz, “necking or ‘petting” is far more au fait, the modern maid turns rather to loveynaking of the catch-as-catch- can style which is contingent only upon contiguity, and nowise dependent upon location. In either parked or speeding flivvers, in the surf, or on the sands, on a country road, a park bench, in a night club, on the “L,”” the bus, a dimly lighted cinema palace—anywhere fis the best place except the old-fashioned “parlor” wherein pop and uncle faced mom and aunty in the tame vears when women's raiment weighed pounds instead of ounces and men concealed their sliding Adam’s apples ‘neath hirsute foliage. But there “ain’t no such parlors now,” leastwise not within “a sleeper jump” from here or there, because in- surance companies refuse to {issue policles to those who endanger life and limb on the slippery surface of.a horse halr “sofy.” There isn't a real “whatnot” extant. except in the store of a dealer in antigues. Gone are the seashells. the wax immortelles beneath the half bubble of glass. the little green automatic Swiss music box. the ball of glass with a jewel-eyed frog embedded In it. Without a “whatnot” and these needful accounterments there can be no parlor, and the parlor passed away ‘when they did. A drawing room never was a good place in which to court a girl. Be- cause that is so the old-fashioned, honest-to-Agnes, father-inspected-and- mother-supervised, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights “‘will-you-be-mine” prapaganda has shrunken to a mere timeworn legend. Today he meets she Tuesday, plops her Into his flivver Wednesday, shares his quart of svnthetic gin with her Thursday. gets thrown out of a roadhouse with her Friday, and says “I know a justish of peash’ Saturday. They start housekeeping Sunday at her ‘home. She gets the divorce four weeks later—and he lives happily ever after- ward. As time Is preclous, economists will favor present-day methods because of the savings insured. “Necking” and “petting’’ In flivvers saves wear and tear on parlor furniture, cuts down the light bills and saves centuries of valuable time each day. But is the change worth the price? Is the 1926 stvle of courtship bene. ficial? Wasn't the 1877 to 1895 method better?
