Movie Revues
STUART "THE TAILOR MADE
MAN."
By R. A. C.
Some say that clothes do not
make the man but in the case of
William Haines "The Tailor Made
Man" the results were to his
credit. From a pants presser by day
he promoted himself to the man
ager of a large department store,
merely by the use of a "tux" and
a successful line that sold himself.
Haines was again in true form.
The picture was cleverly portrayed
but an absolute impossibility. The
plot opens with Haines holding
down the capacity of a pant press
er in a small tailor ship. His am
bitions were to crash through the
portals of gilded society and mount
the ladder of fame. His line of
conceit given with his cocky atti
tude was as boresorce as impos
sible. After putting one of the biggest
clothing stores in existence on the
map without the aid of the board
of directors and the owner he mar
ries the gal from the east side who
held the pants while he pressed
them. The lovers live happily ever
after as they always do in our
cheapest sort of movie attribuea.
The stage attractions this week
would certainly not attract much.
Perhaps a few vegetables or a
front row of newspapers would
sort of wake up the management
to the fact that the vaudeville is
even more terrible than it former
ly pretended to be. They used, to
have a full orchestra to accompany
or rather cover up the rotten stage
show but now they have cut the
band for the afternoon perform
ance. This financial depression
surely seems to be in perfect work
ing order.
LINCOLN "INDISCREET."
By I. R.
"You're not so wicked," Gloria
Swanson tells the weak chinned,
mustached villain, in her latest
picture, "Indiscreet." "You're juet
not verv bright." Well, the same
thing applies to this high society
tra go-comedy. In spite of that al
luring title, it's not so very wicked
and not so very bright.
The plot is old and hackneyed.
Miss Swanson is Jerry Trent, that
fewect, innocent girl from Okla
homa, whose well hidden past con
tains an indiscretion which, you
must understand, was not her
fault. She moves to New York to
live with her aunt and her young
sister who has Just come from the
sheltered walls of a French con
vent. But alas, alack. Jerry finds
that on the boat coming over, her
beloved young sister has become
engaged to that same cad who had
darkened Jerry's past.
Tn conventional, melodramatic
! cti-u h ats nut to aare the sis
ter. Heroically she compromises
herself, and very nearly loses her
own true lover. But she does eave
the sister.
In strife of the heroics, tne pic
ture is worth seeing for the clown
ing it. Jerry, faking insanity, and
her Aunt Kate from Oklahoma,
who knew Buffalo em. are reaiiy
funny. So if you want to laugn
out loud at fome first rate down
ing, see the picture, but if you
want anything more risque the an
1870 melodrama, stay away from
"Indi screet."

continued Mr. Gifford. For in
stance, if scholarship were an
exact measure of business ability
it would not mean that a fine
scholar who had entered the cotton
mill business recently would have
made as much money as if hed
been in the automobile business.
He might have been as great a suc

what he set out to do equally weU.
At certain times some businesses
snake more money than others and
as Mr. Julius Rosenwald has said,
luck has a great deal to do with
the making- of money.

QUESTIONNAIRE
1M FOR TRAVEL
Americans Indicate Desire
For Education in Their
European Visit.
KELLER HEADS INQUIRY
The first 2.000 replies received
from a qeustionnaire addressed to
4,300 American tourists from
every walk of life, who, in a period
of three months last year traveled
in Europe and spent a total of $2.
650,000. reveal that European
travel is undertaken chiefly for
educational purposes. The findings
have been compiled by Dr. Ernest
Gray Keller, originator of student
tours and general manager of the
Students Travel club, who. in the
past five years, has supervised the
European wanderings of more than
14,000 Americans.
"Ideas as to why Americans go
abroad are varied and cover a
wide range," declared Dr. Keller.
"With the exception, perhaps, of
the British, Americans are con
sidered the greatest travelers on
earth. They have gained the repu
tation of being superficial trav
elers and of being indifferent when
it come to appreciation of cultural
values. I determined to put these
various views to the test and to
discover if possible the prime mo
tives of, and the chief values de
rived from, a European trip. I
have examined and analj-zed 2,000
of the first returns received.
Twenty-nine percent of the trav
elers were younger than twenty-
five years of age ana 48 percent.
were below thirty.
Ask Motives.
"To the question: "What were
the chief motives that prompted
you to go to Europe V 38.15 ercent
reported educational' interests in
various fields. Other replies, in or
der, included the Passion play,
pleasure, love of travel, recreation
and health, to fulfill a desire, for
adventure, curiosity, and the sea
voyatre. The numbers of varied in
dividual motives classed under 'all
other motives' are not sufficient to
warrant enumeration but some of
them were: to visit the land of

perhaps, since the majority were

the trip." continued Dr. Keller.
"47.35 percent of the 2.000 answers
mentioned 'broader outlook on life'
and 'educational and cultural gain,
including appreciation of art and
beauty.' Ten percent of the trav

with a better understanding of,
and more vital interest in Europe.

positive value derived from the
trip.
"More than 25 percent of the re
plies indicated that the travelers
received what they anticipated;
67.7 percent received more than
they expected, and 5 percent, less
han they anticipated. In support of
the idea that European travel is a
good Investment, Dr. Keller quotes
a high school teacher from Okla
homa, who wrote the following on
the reverse side of the question
naire. "Two banks in our community
failed last week and some of my
friends lost their savings. La.-t
summer I lr.vesttd my savings in
a trip to Europe. No financial
crisis ever can deprive me of the
memories of that pleasant and ed
ucational experience. Dividends
come to me almost daily in en
riched conversation and a better
understanding of much that I read
and study. My savings are safe,
regardless .of banks."
