BY EI.SIE JAMS (Coßvrieht. 1932. NEA Service. Inc.) I HAVE received hundreds of letters from friends and absolute strangers since I started 1932 jfair. stepping out of my character the stage’s most unmarried f r and hurdled into Hymen’s overcrowded and uncertain kingdom with a man sixteen years my Junior. Most of the letters are optimistic, all of them friendly, and the bride and groom are grateful! I know a lot of people are dubious about the marriage, but after all 1932 couldn’t be worse than 1931, so bring on the pessimists! The editor apparently is not too sanguine, because the first question that disturbed his rest reads. “Is there a hope for a woman of 40, w’ho has never been married before, to get happiness out of marriage?’’ I answer, "Yes!” with a titanic Y! But if he asked “Is it possible for her to hang on to happiness?” I would have to say, “I’m a stranger here myself!” If tomorrow some broadminded, slim-hipped cutie “snitched” the groom, I would have to react as I used to in the theater when we opened a new play, received good press notices, but the public wouldn’t pay to see the show. I’d have to say, “Too bad! We certainly tried to please!” In the theater we immediately tried again. In matrimony I doubt if I would. ft tt tt I THINK I would prefer to cherish the memory of a short and successful “run” with this particular co-star and call it a day. As when I retired from the theater three years ago at the height of my career, feeling that I could never top the things I had done, I turped to writing. A marital “flop” might break a heart, put a lot of new lines in the face, singe the sense of humor, but I can't imagine it aflecting the old typewriter. - Most of the reporters who were sent to obtain the details of the .nuptials seemed to be concerned about the groom’s future plans. I hopped in with the information that I thought helping me with my affairs and being my first husband should keep him busy for a little while at least, and so far it looks as if I were right. tt tt tt THE groom is proving to be a most understanding combination of adviser, secretary, comforter, and last but far from least, husband. We laugh more than honeymooners should, but not at each other! Ye Editor wants to know whether Ye groom ;s going to be a pet. or is he going to make a career of his own. Well! He already is a pet, but he is going to do whatever he wants to do with his own life. I’m his wife, not his keeper. If he wants to be an actor, I’ll give him any advice he asks for. If he wants to run a gas station, I'll buy my gas there and send my friends. I believe he will become a somebody, because I couldn't have known and loved as many regular fellows as I have and then pick just a candidate for the “Only Their Husbands Club.” I am asked if I think every woman should marry regardless of age. What if she is 70? I "wouldn’t know. Come around again in twenty-eight years! a a it IDO think marriage should not be regarded as something that every one must experience, like measles, mumps, or whooping cough! People tried to scare me into •it years ago by warning me of the • terrible things that happen to what used to be called an old maid. They lost their figures, complexions, minds, and finally blew away. Well! I don’t want to brag, but the bride's “chassis” is modern, the complexion is not bad, the mind is active, and so far I have “blown up” on occasions, but never away. If I do, it will be marriage, not celibacy, that turns me into an autumn leaf! I think that women should have the right to marry when they really want to and not to oblige the relatives, doctors, statisticians and traditions. I believe they should work if they want to after marriage, but don’t advise it, if the husbands can keep them in the style they are not accustomed to. . Someone has to amuse and en"tertain the tired business man 'and it is not apt to be the tired business woman! In conclusion let me add, there was no obey clause in our marital agreement. I know too much about loopholes in contracts, and options in Hollywood. Anything you can get into you can get out of, except a coffin.

Btj Scripps-Hotcard, Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Members of congress have received letters x signed by seventy-three prominent men and women asking them to oppose legislation now pending which is designed “to* suppress by force all Communist agitation in the United Statbs.” The legislation was drawn along lines recommended by the Fish committee after its investigation of Communist activities.

That includes Communists just like others.” UNION LABOR DISPUTE SETTLED AMICABLY Roofiing of New Fire Station Allowed to Continue. Roofing of the new fire station at Eleventh and Broadway was resumed today after a ten-day delay occasioned by a dispute over use of nonunion labor for the roofing work. The dispute arose when nonunion roofers, employed by a Subcontractor, began laying the roof. In sympathy with claims of union sheet metal workers that they should do the work, other union crafts threatened to halt work on the building. The other crafts remained at work when roofing work was halted pending arbitration. Today it was announced the sheet metal workers had waived their claim to the work in this case, permitting the work to be finished by nonunion labor.

CIVIC LETS US IN ON SOME VERYWILD FUN ‘The Camel Through the Needle’s Eye/ Although Plain in Talk, Is Acted Splendidly by a Good Cast. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN “ A LTHOUGH “The Camel Through the Needle’s Eye” can be classed x\.as a dirt play of the modern school, it is being splendidly and smartly acted by a competent cast at the Civic theater. This comedy belongs to the foreign school of playwriting by Frantisek Langer, who places the action of his play in Prague. The acting honors fall to Sara Lauter as Mrs. Pesta, Arthur J. Beriault as Pcsta and Lois Graham as Susi.

We are concerned with the efforts of Mrs. Pesta to use her worthless husband as a decoy to get rich people into their basement home co they can collect alms from them on a sympathy gag. Old man Pesta would hobble out on the street and fall in a fit or something before well dressed people. They would carry him home and Mrs. Pesta would put on the sympathy act. Mrs. Pesta as the result of one unfortunate circumstance had a daughter before she married a rich suitor. The man was slightly handicapped because he had a wife at the time, so he conviently died and was expensively buried but that did not help Mrs. Pesta. So she started her begging racket and even used re-boiled cabbage to give a poverty scent to her humble quarters. Near the t close of the first act, she starts considering a campaign how the beauty of her daughter might be best used. The daughter has brains too and she has an affair with a rich young man, Alik Vilim, who was so lazy that he was never taught to think or even talk. Susi puts her suitor to work serving milk in one of her milk depots in Prague. The two have a lot of conversation regarding free love and why get married. When .Alik learns to talk and stand on his own feet he reads the riot act to Mrs. Pesta and serves notice that he is going to marry Susi. Beriault is magnificent as Pesta has Sara Lauter appeared as such an accomplished actress. Miss Graham is equally effective as the daughter. The cast is as follows: Mrs. Pesta Sara Lauter Pesja- Arthur J. 3eriault Susi Lois Graham The Director David Milliyan The Counselor Duane McKinney Mrs. B° lolc Lillith Baur Alik Vilim David Ciarke Servant George Fothering'nam Lilli Bo.lok JoseDhine Morris-McKee Joseoh Vilim H. Coucheron Aamot Servant Girl a . .Mary Urcf.n. From a scenic standpoint, this comedy has lavish and effective sets. It has been well directed by Hale McKeen. It all depends whether one has a taste for this sort of stuff.

MARDI GRAS OF 1932 ISENDED New Orleans Revelers Are Quiet as Lent Comes. By United Press NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 10.—Remnants of one of New Orleans’ greatest carnivals littered streets today as Lent succeeded boisterous Mardi Gras festivities. Revelry that continued almost uninterrupted for twenty-four hours drew to a belated close shortly before daybreak. Streets trodden on Tuesday by half a million celebrants were almost deserted. The carnival officially closed at midnight, soon after Comus and Rex, greatest of the many picturesque carnival kings, and their courts, joined forces at the final ball in municipal auditorium. Outside, the streets seethed with celebrants, brazenly and fantastically costumed. All day long and most of the night they plodded the sidewalks and avenues. Banners, flags and myriad lights emblazened the scene. Although celebrations still were at their height, the bells of age-old St. Louis cathedral sounded the knell of the reign cf kings of mirth at midnight, when the Lenten season of prayer and penance arrived. Hamburg Faces Beer Famine By United Press HAMBURG, Germany, Feb. 10.— Hamburg faced a beer famine today. Twenty-fiv hundred of the city’s 4,000 saloonkeepers went on strike, refusing to sell beer in protest against the recent cut in beer prices by Burgomaster Goerdeler of Munich, new “price dictator.”

PARTY WORRIED BY AL SMITH'S PRESIDENCY BID Republicans Find Joy in Hope of Democratic Internal Strife. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Republican joy and Democratic glcom is the two-day reaction to A1 Smith's' announced willingness to leave his• presidential candidacy in the hands of his friends, which was interpreted everywhere as an announcement that he would like another try at the White House. Such Roosevelt supporters as Senators Wheeler of Montana and Dill of Washington, Democratic progres- j sives, unconsciously exhibited the : perturbation caused in the New j York Governor’s camp. Both, politicians believe, gave expression to thoughts which may; make Smith more eager for a knock-down-drag-out battle with his political protege. Wheeler, though he did not men- ; tion Smith, told the senate the i “power trust” was leading the movement to block Roosevelt’s nomination. Dill declared Democrats in his state neither knew nor cared ; what stand Smith would take when they instructed their sixteen delegates for the New York Governor i last Saturday. Both Enter Primary Democrats who hope for a peaceful solution at the convention feared that things like this would strain relations further between the two New Yorkers’ factions. • Smith’s -Attitude has heightened interest in the presidential primary in New Hampshire March 8, where the two old political chums may stage their first face-to-face contest. Friends of both have said they intended to enter their names. Though the regular Democratic leaders are for Roosevelt, Smith sentiment i is strong in the trial section, where most of the Democratic strength lies. Roosevelt has the edge out in the rural districts. It is generally believed that a Roosevelt victory would stop Smith before he got started, and rob him of his power to dominate the convention, whereas a triumph for the man in the brown derby would raise anew obstacle against the New York Governor. Roosevelt Leads in South Hardly any Democratic leader believes that Smith can win the nomination himself. They measured his statement in terms of its effect on Roosevelt, and its possible effect of killing off the men regarded as the party’s strongest candidates. In the south and west Roosevelt is reported far in the lead, and Smith’s attitude may win the Governor new supporters there. Politicians generally gave Smith about 140 delegates, including those from Massachusetts, Connecticut I Rhode Island, New Jersey and WisI consin. He also may get some from New York, Pennsylvania and a few other states. Nine favorite sons are estimated to have a total of 302 delegates, which, added to Smith’s batch, make a minimum opposition to Roosevelt of 442. Theme Song Chosen By Times Special , SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Feb. 10.— Carl Steffy, Indiana university graduate, who directs an orchestra here, has won a $lO prize for writing a theme song for the “Jordan River Revue,” university musical show.

Now Get Rid of Dingy Yellow Whiten Teeth 3 Shades in 3 Days This Scientific Way

Now there’s absolutely no excuse for stained, yellow, discolored or decayed teeth or sore, spongy gums. For science has discovered the way to destroy millions of germs that swarm into the mouth with every breath and attack teeth and gums. It’s the way to make teeth gleaming white —the Kolynos Dry-Brush Technique. Start using this technique—a halfinch of Kolynos on a dry brush. Overnight you’ll note an improvement. In just 3 days your teeth will look whiter —fully 3 shades whiter. Gums will feel firmer and look healthier. Breath and taste will be clean and sweet. Kolynos is unique. The very moment it enters the mouth this highly concentrated dental cream becomes a refreshing FOAM which permits the use of a dry brush, thus making KOLYNOS 10 times more effective. This penetrating FOAM gets into
