WE SOON FORGET.
, YOU CANT SMILE AND
\ THINK.
PRAYERS FOR SALESMEN.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
This is the anniversary of
Grover Cleveland’s birthday. He
would be 8(5 years old this morn
ing How little that means to
90.000,000 of 110,000,000 living
Americans.
Those that took interest in
Cleveland’s defeat of James G.
Blaine in 1884 are getting old.
Blaine seems part of “old Ameri
can history.” Cleveland’s action in
the Venezuelan incident will give
him a paragraph in real histories
—perhaps. In 14 years will come
a few short paragraphs about the
100th anniversary of his birth.
After that, silence.
You must do something real to
be remembered. Merely getting
into the White House is not
enough.
Three of all presidents mean
something to the world. Washing
ton, Jefferson, Lincoln. The others
are mere names in books and
Jefferson would be forgotten ex
cept that he wrote the Declaration
of Independence, and democrats
find him useful to quote—espe
cially when they are unlike him.
We are soon forgotten, even
those that, for a moment, seem
big among us. Let that comfort
you, if you hate the thought of
oblivion, under the grass.
An important Chinese official
'ays to Mons Andre Gide: “You
Europeans everywhere have on
your faces an expression of sad
ness and care. You know every
science, except the science of hap
piness.”
Mons Gide says: T admired
his tranquil smile as he said this.’’
Back of that tranquil smile are
hundreds of millions that have
seen no progress for centuries,
women in millions that work like
beasts of burden, carrying coal on
their heads to supply British ships.
Back of that smile are regions
periodically cursed with starvation.
Lueky for countries, including
nut- own, in which European races
rule, that their able men are care
worn and sad. The world needs
men that take its troubles serious
ly. A “tranquil smile” is pretty, on
a Chinese or other face. But you
cannot smile and think at the same
lime. Smiling stops thinking, think
ing stops smiling. Tell that to the
man who has “keep smiling”
pasted above his desk.
Nature is kind to us when we
are old. She keeps us from want
ing what we cannot have, usually,
and turns our faces toward the
past, beautified by the setting sun
•ind away from the ominous future.
“Uncle Joe” Cannon, retiring
after 80, tells the Washington re
porters: “Why bless you, I have
plenty to do. I will roam around
my farm, read and perhaps write
-ome. AND THINK OF THE
GOOD OLD DAYS.”
Some men worry about the fires
of hell as death comes near. Others
mourn possessions that must be
left behind. Charles the Fifth left
all his power, retired to a
monastery—and lived there worry
ing. Women, too many of them,
waste the happiness of old age in
grieving over beauty departed—
and never very valuable.
Lucky th ';!d that can find
peace in com mplating “the good
old days;” still more fortunate
old age that is content to replace
action with thought and contem
plation of the universe and of the
magnificent future of mankind on
this planet.
We arc a practical race. Ask the
Rev. Dr. Fosdick, head of New
York City’s biggest Presbyterian
church. He strives worthily to con
vince Americans that immortality
is real, that this life is not what
Balfour said must be “a brief and
discreditable episode on one of the
minor planets” to one denying
immortality.
Dr. Fosdick tells you that he
once wrote “a little book on
prayer,” of which a great corpora
tion head ordered 500 copies.
These were given to the chief em
ployes of that corporation, with a
message from the chief, “if you
can get a real grip on a faith like
that IT’S GOING TO MEAN THE
GREATEST YEAR THIS COM
PANY EVER HAD.”
Isn’t that deliciously business
like? The “little book on prayer”
was not to land the 5O0 salesmen
safe in heaven. It was to give that
• corporation the biggest year it
ever had, by giving the salesmen
“faith” to go out and sell more
stove blacking, or whatever the
corporation had to sell. That cor
poration head will die rich.
Ireland, with ail her sorrows,
was paying as much as $0 to see
the black Senegalese Siki fight
the Celt McTigue. And the Free
State troops were out to protect
the prize fight from the "repub
licans” that wanted to break it up.
On this side of the Atlantic, the
police were out to protect, the St..
Patrick’s day parade from the
Irish republicans that had “served
warning.” The Tory English that
always said the Irish could not
govern themselves are quoted by
Bernard Shaw as “much elated.”

Lou Tellegen Described as “Don Juan”
of Stage and Seashore in Divorce Suit
Two ‘‘Strikingly Beautiful”
Women Named as Corespon
dents by Witnesses for
Geraldine Farrar.
New York, March 19.—(A5)—Lou Tel
legen, actor, who is being sued for
divorce by Geraldine Farrar, former
Metropolitan Opera star, was described
as a "Don Juan" of the stage, seashore
and ghetto, by witnesses testifying for
the diva before Referee Thomas B.
Mahony.
These witnesses named two "strik
ingly beautiful" young women as co
respondents. One was Miss Lorna Am
bler, an Australian actress. The other
was referred to only as “Miss L,” an
American actress who played in the
same company with Tellegen in 1911.
A third woman, said to he known in
San Francisco as Bessie Clifford, was
named in the complaint, but no no u
tlon was made of her today.
Describes "Month of Bliss.”
Two of the witnesses, W. F. Beers
and Louis Malthaner, owners of bun
galows In a colony on Long Beach; de
scribed a “month of bliss" spent in
July, 1921 by Tellegen and Miss Am
bler in a cottage facing the sea.
Mr. Beers said he rented one of his
bungalows to a man named Rankin,
said to b^Teliegen’s secretary. Ran
kin snd his wife spent several days in
the bungalow before Tellegen and the
other young woman arrived. Mr. Beers
sair he did not pay much attention to
the occupants of the house, but that be
knew they lived there. Several times
he saw them on the beach.
Wore Bathing Suits.
Malthaner declared he didn't know
who Tellpgcn was even after he had
been told his nam», but that he talked
and hobnobbed with him on occasions.
Tellegen and the girl, he said, made
dally excursions on the water in Tel
legen's boat. Tellegen always left the
cottage first and vent to the dock and
tlie girid would follow later by another
route. Most times they wore bathing
suits.
Beers and Malthaner Identified s
photograph of Tellegen and the girl
as the couple who spent the month
at the Long Island resort and de
parted after Tellegen had received a
letter from his wife's lawyers.
When Tellegen returned to New
York, testimony showed he was trailed
night and day by detpcti\es In Au
gust Mrs. Ambler went to live with
friends in a studio apartment on the
top floor of a house on West Thirty
seventh street. Norman Fitzsimmons,
private detectivp, said he followed
Tellegen to this house on numerous
occasions and that the actor met tlie
girl in the vestibule. Invariably, lie
said, they embraced in tlie shadows
and then went for long walks, wind
ing in and out side streets and often
into the ghetto on the lower east side,
where they sopped in Italian tea
taurant for midnight suppers.
“They seemed very much taken
with eai li ether." he testified.
Divides Attention.
In September, after the opening of
Don Juan with Tellegen in the title
role, the actor began dividing his
attentions between Mias Ambler and
Miss “L." according to Fitzsimmons
Immediately after the performances
he would hall a taxi and take Mias
“I, ' to her home on Riverside Drive,
sper.<3 a moment or two with her In
tl.e hallway and then go down town
to meet Mies Ambler.
One night In September. Fi'zsim
rnons continued, he followed Tellegen
and Miss “L" to, a bench overlook
ing the river in' a dark place on
Riverside drive.
At this point the referee asked
newspaper men to depart, as Samuel
l ntermyer. counsel for Miss Farrar
thought the testimony to come would
be “unfit for their ears.”
