NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-—-The saving
grace of Broadway is its sense of
humor. as inherent in its swarming
crowds as in its individuals. I once
met. a. young fellow who had worked
hard and saved the money he made
in various and odd ways in the the-
atrical business and had invested it
all in his first venture as a producer.
He was standing in front of the
theatre where his show had just
been preduced and where it was just
about to die. Tickets for the show
were going begging even in Joe Le
Blang’s half-price agency. When I
started to sympathize with the.
yOung producer he 'laughed and
said. "Well. 1 got my name in the
papers nnywuy.”
And now with the agitation for
censorship of plays considerably
abated. the Shubcrts are announcing
a "sex appeal" contest between
mtmbers of the "Gay Parse" and
"Artists and Models.”

To one who sees life as it is lived
on Broadway day in and any out
over a period of years the most
arnaaing development is the growth
of eifemlnncy among its men. One
curly-headed hero of the screen. at
one time probably its most popular
hero and who is again coming into
popularity. has had several per-
manent waves. Insofar as I know
this is his only lady-like habit.
But there is another notable of
screen and stage. a man who was
probably the country's greatest
matinee idol long before the word
“sheik" came into its present mean-
ing and who more lately has ap.
poured on the screen as a lie-man

An annual flight from the north

Many scientists feel that the sur-

For. the arrival of the white man
and civilization has upset the dell-

these islands. They feel that in an-
other 23 years. it. may be too late
to see traces of the natural life
which ad previously endured upon
these islands for‘oenturies.

Some or the islands are only lut-
ting rocks rising out of the espthe
of the ocean. Others are low-lying
atolls. Still others. like Tahiti. are
great volcanic peaks. lofty and for-
est-clad. surrounded by sandy
beaches and coral reefs.
