Photographs Gatherings of Families William Kothe’s Camera Takes Record Several Times in Year. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Tim** Woman* Fare Editor EASTER is approaching, which probably brings to mind fashion parades. To William Kothe it means slipping his motion picture camera in his pocket and Joining the

K o t h e-Lieber family gathering After every one has arrived and the party spirit possesses them. Mr. Kothe, better known as Bill, starts reeling off his films. This filming of the holiday celebrations of the two families is a tradition. Since Mr. Kothe’s late uncle. Robert

9 yk Hi "'

Miss Rurgan

Lieber, president of First National Pictures, Inc., had motion pictures taken of the families in 1911, no year has passed without a filming of at least one gathering. Professional photographers took pictures of the groups until 1921 when young Bill’s interest in motion pictures started. He used professional cameras until 1924 when science gave the amateur a motion picture camera. Since then he has had the professional size films reduced to amateur size. “It’s natural that photography should be my hobby,” Mr. Kothe explains. "Besides my uncle’s pioneering in the field of motion pictures, I have the heritage of a father who worked in photography when good photography was an accomplishment because of its lack of perfection.” Mr. Kothe has had some Halli-burton-like experiences in his filming of foreign scenes. He likes to catch informal shots of the everyday doings of persons and consequently has been chased away from many scenes by superstitious natives. He determined to film a religious ceremony while in Haiti on a West Indies cruise. “I had to climb over two walls and hide under the eave of a native hut to get the scene,” he recalled. On other occasions when he failed to conceal himself, natives rushed at his camera in horror when they spied him.

Develops Observation. He frequently missed his dinner when sunsets painted the mountains of Caracas with yellow and red reflections, and long caravans traveled over them. “There are opportune times to catch nature at its best. My friends sometimes thought me crazy to rise at sunrise to climb a mountain for a picture,” he laughed. “You've no idea how much more observing you become when interested in photography. I was riding one Sunday in Madison when an interesting doorway caught my eye. Being with friends, I couldn't stop. It was two years and a half before I returned to Madison, but I found the exact doorway which I then photographed,” Mr. Kothe said. Mr. Kothe has taken his mother. Mrs. Ida Lieber Kothe, with him on many of his trips. He has filmed the everyday activities of his nieces and nephews since they were babies. On Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, his sisters, Mrs. Harry Glossbrenner and Mrs. Henrietta Kothe Matkin, and his brother, Herman, bring their children to his home to celebrate with their grancmother. When he traveled in Europe, the amateur motion picture camera hadn't appeared, so his pictures of these countries are stills. Recently he has turned his attention back to his stills, and has indexed more than 2,000 negatives, filing them according to date, location and subject. Edits Humor Into Films He edits his own reels, and makes them more interesting in this manner. Children particularly like his film of children of various nationalities. He provides amusement, too. in his editing. Following up the picture of a silk hat in an important formal wedding is one of much battered mien, but equally stylish in the eyes of the wearer, a native of Haiti. When Mr. Kothe started motion picture filming in 1922 with a friend, Gordan Varney, he had ambitions to be a professional. Together they produced a film of Boy Scout activities to be used to stimulate interest in the movement in Indiana. It was so popular that they sent it to the national convention. and for six years it was used for national exhibitions. Approximately a dozen universities used it in extension departments. Camera Records Operations Mr. Varney later became camera man for Thomas Meighan pictures. Many of Mr. Kothe's stills reflect his early ambition to be an architect. One series is of Spanish missions in New Mexico, Arizona. California and Mexico. Another shows influences of Italian. Spanish and Moorish architecture in modern buildings. One of his most interesting ventures writh his motion picture camera is filming of operations, which his medical friends wanted for personal records and for teaching purposes.

Manners and Morals

Would you like to have your problem diagnosed? Write to Jane Jordan today and read her answer in this column. Every one is invited to join in the discussions which interest them. Dear Jane Jordan—l am 29 Years old and have been keeping company with a fellow 47. He came every day for about two years and then his dates kept getting farther apart until finally he started going with other girls. I told him the other night not to call on me any more. I love him with all my heart and he claims he cares for me. If he did, wouldu’t he have come to see me oftener? Should I apologize or what can I do to win his love back? CHARLIE. Answer —The best thing a woman can do with a lover who is cooling ’off is to let him go. I do not mean that you should have made an issue of it as you did. You would have done better not to show' your possessive feelings toward him and occupied the evening w’hen you were left alone with some other man. Why should you resent his desire for variety, and why don't you look for variety yourself? a a a Dear Jane Jordan —I am a school girl 17 years old. I met a fellow 19 years old who came to see me once or twice a week for four months. I learned that he was from a wealthy family in Cincinnati and that his parents were dead. He told me that in high school he rated high and received a scholarship to De Pauw, also that he had joined a fraternity. We had no words, but we just stopped going together. He was the neatest boy I ever saw and had fine clothes. He wore brown suede oxfords and spats which I thought plenty cute. He was a bookkeeper in one of our leading department stores. As long as I went with him he was never affectionate. On Feb. 15. when I went to school. I saw him in the office for the first time we had fallen out. What a surprise! He was singing in our high school. There I learned that he was from a small town in Indiana, and not from Ohio. I spoke to him and he said he was just going to take chemistry and physics, as he wanted to go to medical school and needed these two subjects. The next day I learned that he is not just taking these two subjects at all. but the full course including history, which is required for graduation. I also found that he did not get a scholarship to De Pauw and that he had never graduated from high school. All the time I went with him he lied. Told lif till he believed

them himself. He really lived these lies. I don’t think now that anything he ever told me was true, not even his age. When he passes me in the hall he can scarcely look at me and turns his head unless I speak to him. Oh, I'm crazy about him still and would love to win him back. How can I let him know about the lies and that I forgive him for them? To see him in the hall with another girl would kill me. It doesn't seem possible that all this could have happened. It’s awful to be soured on life so young, on almost the first love affair. Oh. help me please Give me advice and revive me. I don’t know how to act toward him. Should I speak first? PUZZLED. Answer—How can I persuade you not to take this so seriously? Your first fancy will not be your last by any manner of means. Instead of

ting up such a false front to shield his deficiencies, real or fancied. You would have to look into the boy's childhood to understand the feeling of inadequacy which drives him to invent yarns to bolster up his ego. Perhaps he is the victim of a too-severe father who completely crushed out his self-con-fidence or he may have been so tremendously over-estimated by a doting mother that he found he could not impress others to the same extent without stretching the facts considerably. His very manner of dressing shows that he is trying to make up some inner feeling of inferiority by an impressive outer appearance. Most beys of his age despise such affections in dress as suede oxfords and spats. Everything he does shows an enormous effort to compensate for some keenly felt lack. Why he expends perfectly good energy in useless compensations instead of something worth while, we do not know. At any rate, he is on the wrong track, and you can depend on it that in truth he is the very oppo-

being shocked by the young man’s lying, let us see why he does it. First of all he is not satisfied with himself. He has fallen short of his own ego ideal and makes up the deficit by I fancy fictions. His imagination supplies what reality lacks. Only a very timid boy would feel the pressing necessity of put-

site of that which he pretends. I hesitate to condemn too young a boy as a pathological liar who can not distinguish between the real world and an imaginary one. It may be that he will outgrow his propensity for substituting fiction for unsatisfactory fact. If he does not, he is headed for failure. Perhaps you can help him by being as cordial and friendly as if nothing had happened, and by tactfully refusing to be impressed by his lies. It would not do to accuse him of misrepresentations, for that would only embarrass him more painfully than ever. A smart girl could teach him to use his real assets, such as his pleasing manner and ability to meet the public. She who can convince him that he has no need for lying, who gives him the courage to rely on actual achievement for prestige, will have done him a service that can not be overestimated. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of nearly 18 and I care too much for a married man. He is separated from his wife, but stays with her one night a w r eek. It makes me jealous and fills me with hate when I hear him talking of her. I did not feel this way until he made advances to me that I did not have the power to resist. I am a lot younger and prettier than his wife, though he seems to care for her. He likes to have me as a side dish, knowing that mine is a losing game. Do you advise me to keep on playing with no hope of winning, or should I end it all with poison? Answer—Neither. After all it is up to you whether you remain a side dish or not. You are old enough to take the responsibility for your own actions without placing the blame somewhere else. You are young enough and attractive enough to compete for a single man with whom you can be first. Don’t take poison. You'd miss too much fun. There's no sense in letting one incident defeat you.

Wardrobe by Paul Dupont to Be Worn by Ruth Page on World Dancing Tour Many of Costumes Chosen by Indianapolis Artist Are for Ship Wear; Three-Piece Tweed Suit Is Interesting. BY HELEN LINDSAY WHEN Ruth Page, Indianapolis, world famous dancer, sails April l for a world tour, she will take with her one of the most interesting wardrobes of the season. It was created by Paul Dupont, Chicago, outstanding young designer. Mr. Dupont has a select clientele in Chicago, and has designed clothes for Helen Hayes. Practically all of Miss

Hayes’ daytime clothes are the product of this designer. Since the Kreutzberg-Page tour will include China and Japan, much of Miss Page's wardrobe has been created with ship travel in mind. One striking shipboard costume is of brown and white striped softfinish tweed. It is composed of a three-piece suit and a three-quarter length coat, made with box pleated fullness at back. The skirt of the costume is split to the knee, to give freedom for deck sports. With it is worn a bright green silk blouse, fastening down the front with special silver eyelets, through which silver fingers on cords are slipped and tied. The jacket to the suit is extremely short, fitted at the waist, and lined with the same green silk which is used in the blouse. Frogs are used to fasten the jacket down the front, and the shoulders are accented with small epaulets. White mass crepe has been used for an evening

frock, which Miss Page probably will wear at events aboard ship. The long full sleeves are slit. The bodice is cut with a square decollete and twisted fabric bands continue from the waistline on the bodice. The grace of the dancer is accented in the skirt, which fits closely to the knees. Groups of godets in the skirt, released from sewed down seams, are held by clips of brass and jet, a a a oatt Ayres Store Opens Mexican Booth “T7TVA MEXICO” is the new Mexican booth at the L. S. Ayres store, V where all of the Mexican accessories have been grouped for the convenience of the customer. In typical bright colored setting, the booth is located in the center of the main floor of the store. Large colored initial pins are shown. Wooden bead bags, in bright colors; jewelry, bright colored striped blouses, scarfs and handkerchiefs are all on display, accenting the trend for Mexican colors and styles in sportswear. The “Flying Down to Rio” neckwear set is one of the most attractive offerings in the Mexican accessories. It is a double ruff of white mousseline de soie, to be worn around the throat. A twisted Mexican striped cord of taffeta fastens it about the throat, and the same cord is used on the pleated mousseline de soie cuffs which accompany it. a a a a a a Brightening Up Provided by Toppers “'T'OPPERS” are shown, which promise to dress up the somber colored X suit for spring. The;’ are little sham blouses, made of striped or plaid materials. Some are cut high in the neck, fastening about the throat as tight collars, and covering the front of the blouse in a vest effect. They fasten about the waist with wide belts. Others are made of Mexican striped ribbon, and are pleated to fit around the neck, coming dowm the front of the blouse, and ending in wide belts around the w’aist. One is made of Mexican colored print lastex, fastening high at the neck, and covering the entire front of the blouse in a vest.

McCabe and Miss Emma Puschner, members of the state probation commission, will be speakers at the luncheon, to be sponsored by the child welfare committee of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters at 12:15 Wednesday at the Indianapolis Athletic Club.
