Passing a motion picture theater
the other day I overheard two young
women talking. They were typical
“cheap” city girls, the sort that con-
stantly seeks ‘thrills,’ mistaking emo-
tional excitement for happiness.
The picture at the theater was
“Jane Eyre.” “Aw, we don’t want to
see that; it’s nothing but a classic,”
said one of them.
That attitude, that anything that
isn’t modern, hasn’t anything in it for
folk today, is prevalent, I observe,
among the unintelligent and half-edu-
cated. Yet “Jane Eyre” has been one
of the great successes of the films of
1934, as was “Little Women” before
it; suggesting to me that the scorn-
ful attitude of those who regard
themselves as sophisticated is not as
widespread as many people think.

a sure road to a greater success. You
can’t at this time find a training that
will place you on the pay roll as
quickly, and earn you as much money,
and give you the advancement that
a business training in Byrne College
will give you.

A wholesome adventure story dra-
matically told that will live longer
than its author’s reputation in other
fields is Robert Louis Stevenson’s
“Treasure Island.” And if anyone has
any doubt as to whether a “clean”
motion pitcure will be a box-office suc-
cess he ought to see the crowds stand-
ing in line at the box-office where the
new film of- “Treasure Island” is be-
ing shown.
Incidentally, I' hear that one of the
large film companies is preparing to
produce that other great “classic” of
English literature, the first novel
written in our language, “Robinson
Crusoe.” I have long wondered why

You who know Hotel Adolphus know

Further evidence that you can
please the theater-going public other
than by constantly giving them some-
thing a little newer and a little raw-
er than what went before is to be
found in the current revival of the
Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas, in
New York, by an English company
which for years has played nothing
else. The largest crowds to attend any
New York play in years swamp the
theater every night.
A great English actor-manager,
Sir Nigel Playfair, died the other day.
His chief claim to fame was that he
put on a revival of John Gay’s “Beg-

and it had a continuous run of more
than 1,100 performances, proving that

The interest in ancient things does
not end with plays and books. There
has grown up a great interest, in the
past forty or fifty years, in the col-
lection of what are generally classi-
fied as antiques. Old glass, old china,
old books, old furniture, old anything-

even in times of depression.

ORANGE OF ASIATIC ORIGIN
The orange is apparently a fruit of
Asiatic origin and has been culti-
vated from the most ancient times in
India and southern China. It has been
distributed by successive stages to all
parts of the sub-tropical world and
the warmer temperate regions. It was
introduced into Asia Minor at an early
date, and thence spread to all the
Mediterranean countries, where it is
extensively cultivated. Spanish and
Portuguese explorers brought orange
trees to the New world in the Fif-
teenth century and they now flourish
wild in many parts of Central and
South America. That the California'
and Florida climates were exception-
ally well suited to orange culture
were discoveries made bv the Sn»n-

It is as easy to establish a wrong
idea in one direction as in another.
Against those who think nothing is
'good that isn’t new stand the ones
who think nothing is good unelss it
is old. Neither, of course, is true.
Much depends upon what sort of
things—objects, ideas, entertainment
or what not—one is talking about.
The sort of persons who demand new
ideas about life and living and the
social Older are usually the same type
who regard everything else that ex-
isted before they were born as being
out-moded.
As a matter of fact, nothing is so
durable as a sound idea, and nothing
so evanescent as a new idea that is
not sound. The test of time has re-
sulted since the beginning of things
in the discarding of novelties in gov-
ernment and social relations and the
return to the ancient standards by
which the world, on the whole, has
been governed. Often the symbols and
the methods are changed, but no so-
cial order has long existed that was
not based on the durable truthB de-
rived from countless centuries of hu-
man experience in living together.
