A WOMAN’S PAGE. The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. A few days ago the world of grown folks and children lost a loved and genial personality. Somehow- we have confidence in the men whom youngsters trust. Richard F. Outcault was such a person, Probably no man brought more distinct joy into the lives of young Tolks than Dick Outceuit, who created the famous “Buster Brown™ and “Tige.” Generous almost to a fault, and with wealth sufficient from his earnings as on artist, Dick was able to indulge in th luxury of helping othors.

A gtranger passing the Outcault home might have smiled as he listened to the songs and lsughter of the kids as they danced with Mr. Outcault. One of the requirements for “membership” in the “slub” was the learning of a child's song about the birds and trees | and bee One day we were sitting on the porch with Di shen several tiny girls ap- proached rather timidly, and one said, with a lisp, “Pleath, Mithter Outcauit. may we join the club?

John CGiolden, the struggling voung actor, the writer of “Poor But- terfly” and more recently successful producer of plays such as “Turn to the Right,” “Lighinin’” and “Seventh Heaven,” had much in common with | the creator of “Buster Brown,” although Outcault was the older.

Yes, it is done. Marybelle is the only darling of a large family of grown-ups. There are elderly aunts and uncles, middle-aged relatives ma- ture friends, a host of them, coming and going. They talk much and make much of little ailments. “Well, Maria, how's your rheumatism today?” “well, I can’t complain. But I got # new pain in my back. Why, last night I thought I'd go insane with it. I just had to have my hot packs, and my electric pads. and everything, I find my air pillow such a comfort. Have you one?” “Oh, yes; I got one at Schubert's, Such a little duck of a pillow, deco- vated. They make those things so at- tractively now, don't they?” Then a long discussion about the best kind of toilet water, the right kind of drinking glass, the medicine spoon, straws or glass tubes, hot-water bottles and linen and flannel and on, on to the last operation. Marybelle lived in this at- mosphere. One day she took to bed with the measles. “Just a slight attack of measles. Keep her warm, in bed: light diet; this powder; no strong light; rest her eyes; quiet. See her tomorrow.” The measles passed away, but Marybelle showed no sign of getting better. She lay in bed dressed like a fairy queen and the whole family passed in procession before her bearing gifts. These she accepted or grew weary and | tor.

She cleared the room of all the gifts. ,Out went the bears with the pink rib- |bons: out went the dolls that talked |and the monkeys that climbed the strings. Out went hot-water bottles dressed to look like the ladies of 1870. The room was cleaned down to its bare bones. There was little talking, no stories, no unnecessary attention. Medi- cine aisappeared. A waiter with a dish of cereal and milk was placed on her bed for breakfast. A meager luncheon of chicken soup and toast followed that. The evening meal was stewed fruit and wheaten bread with milk. “1 think 1 could get up in the morn- g, said Marybelle. “I'm sure of it,” said the nurse.

The production end of pictures has far more draw for the young generation of stars than ever before. A good director—a man who can tell a story in celluloid with a poignant human touch—may work on when baldness, obesity and fallen arches have overtaken him. He isn't always toiling tunder the grueling pressure of entrancing, gum- chewing, romantic 17 Richard Barthelmess says directing is far more interesting to him than act- ing.

Lena Basquette is being groomed to take Mae Murray's place in the sun. So says Hoilywood, and it generally knows, Every picture the Basquette makes has a bit of dancing in it, and the public likes dancing stars, In appear- |ance the two are diametrically oppo- | site. Mae Murray's blond beauty was a trade mark long before the crop of white henna girls_ blossomed suddenly along the boulevards. Then some cam- craman discovered that blonds film bet- | ter than brown-haired girls, and the hairdressers have been extra busy ever since. = that players of distinction are shunted off and we never miss them.
