Showing the potent effect of the motion-picture on the child-mind. DOMESTI by George T was a golden afternoon. Mirabou was serving us Orange I Pekoe. Mirabou has been with us a week. Her sister, Eiderdown, our upstairs maid, wanted her near her and Mirabou didn’t want any wages. Th that we have an ups all on the one floor. “Tl just take a movie pass each night,” said Mirabou, “and as long as the house is warm and I've a place to sleep and enough to eat, I won't complain.” Mirabou is nice that way. t's how it came about airs and a downstairs maid, though we are Well, Mirabou is serving us our Orange Pekoe. She's got a bit friendly, has Mirabou. Just friendly. Nothing more than that. We never permit familiarities with our help. Besides the Missus doesn’t like it. Said Mirabou, “What do you think married life does to people on the screen?” We shrugged a noncommittal shoulder. We didn’t know what to say to Mirabou. We were afraid that she might take what we have to say on marriage as advice. But she continued: “I mean do you think James Kirkwood and Lila Lee were better actors before they were married?” This was easier to answer. “Everybody is or was better before he or she was married,” said we cynically, thinking more of ourself than we should have. But this is beside the question. “If you are going to see a picture to-night we would advise you seeing a couple of married people and letting you judge for yourself.” James Kirkwood and Lila Lee recently decided to plunge susceptible “—Aw, paw!

With a sense of humor few people credit moving picture actors they are ap- pearing together in what we believe to be their first: picture under double ness. It is called “Love's Whirlpool,” and we hope they are happier off the screen than they are on it. Mr. Kirkwood is a good actor on the screen. We don’t know whether he is a bad actor off. We believe Miss Lee to be a good actress both on and off. They don’t need a good picture to demonstrate this but it wouldn't have hurt either of them nor us, whose duty it is to see them, if that important detail were not missing. ‘Love's Whirlpool” is not any more exciting than a mill pond. We may be accused of having dined poorly or not at all before seeing the picture, but didn’t like “Love's Whirlpool” a little bit and we hope that Mr. and Mrs. Kirk- wood will use a little more care in the selection of their next vehicle. E HAVE always been an ardent admirer of Laurette Taylor's art. She too is married and although her husband doesn't play opposite her, he supplies her with the plays in which she acts. Despite the line of vehicles she has been asked to draw uphill she has made some splendid going and we'd like some day to see her hitched up to a well-oiled racing car just to se what she could do with it. Someday, perhaps, Mr. Manners (that’s Mr. Taylor) may give her something to do that will (Continued on page 29) 20 OBSOLETE EXPRESSIONS “Late for church.” ao ear orue comicbooks.com 01 Or
