Twelve Cents a Second. ' Twelve cents a second doesn't sound like a big salary unless one stops to figure it out. That's about what Conway Tearle gets for being a leading man for National Picture theaters, a Selznick enterprise. And at that, it is said Mr. Tearle is one of the highest salaried leading men in the country. Figuring out his salary it amounts to $2,500 a week, which isn't so bad, considering he gets. many of his meals-thrown in.

' ' anotner wlstalon itte motiterin instinct for Love. Much Fuss Over ' Men May Spoil 'Emi Who Knows? Almost as many husbands are driven from home by wives who lav ish too much attention on them' as leave because their wives neglect them. So believes Eva Novak, the motion picture actress, who is star ing in the latest Universals produc tion, "Wanted at Headquarters." " "Men were intended to be the ag gressors in the battle of love," Miss Novak said during an interview at Universal 3ity, Cal., recently, "and women were cast to play the defen sive parts. Warriors, once they have completely subdued their oppo nents, are likely to seek other ad versaries. So it is with husbands, and the woman who has been wooed and won and then displayed her love by too frequent and flagrant fuss and demonstration is apt to overdo with disastrous results. "Men like attention from women, but' not too flagrant attention. My advice to the wife is to be sane and conservative in the treatment of her husband." , Mary Pichford to Appear In Another "Kiddie" feature Mary Pickford is to .appear, in an other of the kid comedies for which she is famous. It will be titled, "Rag-Tag and Bob-Tail," and it will go to the screen before Ktt current production, "A Flame in the Dark." Both stories were written by her di rector, Frances Marion, u "A Flame in the Dark" has an Italian atmosphere and a lot of emot ing in it. In the production Mary is supported by a number of Italian ac tors she brought from Italy when she and her husband, Douglas Fair banks, completed their honeymoon tour of Europe, and in her desire to be realistic she even goes so far as to speak Italian lines when it is nec essary to talk at all. "I've learned enough of the languge to sing an opera," says Mary. The reason for the kid-comedy, hibitors are of the opinion that a "happy" picture should follow "Suds Theater Managers To Inaugurate "Go to Movie" IVeek Omaha downtown motion picture managers have inaugurated an idea which is expected to be adopted na tionally by motion picture theaters; next year. 1 "Go to Movies" week is the idea.
