We consider them the evergreen of the breakfast table. Straw- berries may come and go; the peach and the melon are but summer friends but the prune is indeed a friend in need and like the babbling brook goes on forever. We love the dear wrinkles that furrow its brow. Eiderdown is our new upstairs girl. By that we mean that she is always upstairs when she should be down, She’s eider up or down but Eiderupordown is too long a name so we've cut it down to Eiderdown for short though her real name is Hulda. On the morning in question she was setting out the prunes. The coffee was percolat- ing on the perambulator. “It bane my day out,” said Eiderdown chattily but we don’t in the least mind that. We've been talked to and back at by help ever since we've been big enough to be ordered about by them. “It bane my day out,” said |Eiderdown. You will have guessed that | Eiderdown is a Swede, though that isn’t the way she talks, but the comic strip artists in America have educated the in- tellectual reading public to that belief and it seems too great a task for us to convert it. Then again, “bane” being the only word the comic stripper has taught the great American reader, we will omit the dialect and lapse into our own mother tongue. Having assured us that she was to have a day out, or one of her seven-days-a-week out, she asked us what we thought she ought to do with it. We said we’d go yachting or some such foolishment where- at Eiderdown very wisely said she’d rather 22 Hubby—If you keep on buying these things, dear, we'll never get to Palm Beach; we'll go straight to the poorhouse. Wife—But couldn’t we find a nice one down there? EMOTIONLESS MOTION PICTURES by George Mitchell go to the movies and when pressed for ad- vice as to what we thought she had better spend her time and salary on we gave vent to a rather paternal oration, something after this fashion; Whatever be your pride in the land of your birth where the midnight sun rivals those of wealthy New Yorkers, put it, like Satan, behind you and don’t see “Name the Man.” Of course you would be inter- ested in seeing what Seastrom has done with the direction of Hall Cain's story of the “Isle of Man,” but it’s unfortunate that Seastrom should have skiied himself into America at a time when Lubitsch was presenting anything as good as “The Marriage Circle.” Our chief objection to the film is that it’s too infernally and di- abolically symbolic. The picture simply reeks with symbols. In addition, the story is as artificial and as improbable as anything Mr. Cain has ever done. The original Cain slew but one masterpiece. Hall has been at it ever since . . . we had almost said . . . he was able. The pic- ture creaks with worn-out machinery and all the tawdry legerdemain of the cinema. On the other hand, Lubitsch, probably the most interesting director in the camera's eye to-day, has cranked out a picture in “The Marriage Circle” that contains much beauty, intelligence and no dull spots.

It’s a skimpy little film held together by a group of children whose antics provide the only real interest in the picture.
