Curb On Temper j
Means Success I
By Grace Davidson
If you are a young girl with a
desire to embark upon a career,
that of an actress, a writer, a
journalist, a designer of stage sets
or costumes, don’t go to school for
it, go to work for it. In other
words, don’t use up father’s hard
earned dollars, if they are hard
earned and you are very serious,
spending it in school.
Take any kind of a job within
the field and work from 7 and if
you stick to it long enough, you
may grow famous and moderately
wealthy.
This is the old-fashioned advice
of the very modern-minded Aline
Bernstein, one of America’s fore
most designers of stage sets.
Miss Bernstein, a charming, soft
spoken woman, whose appearance
belies the 5 0 years she insists is
her age, said that she never went
to a school to learn her work and
wonders how it could be taught in
any school. Yet she said that each
year countless girls come to het
and announce that they are design
ers of stage sets, having learned
their craft at school. Some of
these girls she has given a chance
in her studio, but she finds that
they do not w'ork out well in prac
tice.
"There are certain things that
schools cannot teach. They cannot
teach one how to get along with
people, and in my field the ability
to get along with people, to get
things done, is all dmJportant. I
have disciplined myself never to
lose my temper. As my work de
pends upon working with others,
to give away to temper would be
quite fatal. It is such a complicat
ed craft.
"One must be able to do a little
carpentry, to know something a
bout the job of electrician. Sitting
before a drawin~ board and desi
gning a pretty picture for a set is
the very' smallest part of the job,
] assure you.
"For an example, when I was
designing the sets for "Grand
Hotel,” it involved some highly
technical work in construction. I
was obliged to work with the car
penter and show him part of the
set could be built according to my
designs.” She said that the great
Gordon Craig was once commis
sioned to design sets for the "Ham
-* Jet” production of the Moscow
Art Theatre. When the sets were
built according to his designs, they
never could be used. They were
too heavy and impractical for use
on any stage.
"I had to work everything out
for myself right in the theatre in
a practical way. Wb^n you are
spending other people’s money,
there is a tremendous responsibility
involved. The year I designed the
sets for 'Grand Hotel,’ I was in
strusted with $115,000 in various
productions for sets. And, one
must work quickly, effectively and
economically. One could go to
school many years, but working in
the theatre is worth all the years of
theoretical study.”
'NUDE OUT OF DOORS’ BE
HIND CLOSED DOORS
Denver.—Emil Ganso’s "Nude
Out of Doors” will remain behind
the door in Denver’s municipal art
museum. The statue was placed
before the main entrance to the
museum in the new city and coun
ty building. Complaints reached
the ears of Miss Ann Evans, who
presides over the museum, and she
ordered it placed in a less conspicu
ous position.
HUMANE SOCIETY HEAD
EATS ONLY VEGETABLES
Kansas City, Mo.—Edwin R.
Weeks, who has been president of
the Kansas City Humane Society
40 times, has eaten only grains,
fruits and vegetables the last 50
years.
"Meat eating makes for cruelty
to animals,” he said.
Begin Taking Cardui
Today If You Suffer
Like This Lady Did
"WHEN I was a girl, I began tak
ing Cardui,” writes Mrs. Maggie
Stanfield, of Crandall, Ga. “I was
very irregular for twelve months.
Nothing did me very much good
until my mother began to give me
this medicine. Then I got all
right, stout and well.
"After I was married, I was in
bad health. I began taking Cardu
again. I was troubled with m
back a lot. Was awfully restlee
I could not sleep well. I ju
weighed 90 pounds when I beg:
taking Cardui. I improved rapid
Before long I weighed 126 pount
I felt fine. I was able to do
good day’s work.”
Cardui Is sold by druggists here. ■
Indicted Banker

New York, and now under indict

arraigned Mitchell pleaded not
guilty. -
Michigan Voters
Give Democrats
Huge Majorities
According to the Detroit News
"Michigan’s voters have respond
ed to the Democratic exhortation,
"Finish the job!” by putting nine
more Democrats in State office.
Returns from Monday’s election
early withered the Republican hope
that the disasterous tidal wave of
last November had receded1. The
men and women of Michigan vi
vidly demonstrated their con
tinuing belief that affairs at Lan
sing should be placed in new
hands.”
Detroit and Wayne County
were overwhelmingly Democratic,
as in November. The remainder
of Michigan, far from saving the
day for the Republicans, added to
their discomfiture. Every Repub
lican on the State ticket was beat
en decisively.
The Democrats elected both
their candidates for the Supreme
Court; both Regents of the Uni
versity, State Superintendant of
Public Instruction, Member of
State School Board, both members
of the State Board of Agriculture,
the State Highway Commissioner.
Moreover, the Democrats made a
clean sweep of the Detroit elective
offices, including both. Judges of
the Court of Common Pleas.
With the November elections
taken in conjunction with those
held last Monday, Michigan is a
bout as completely Democratic as
the "Solid South.’’ The Democratic
majorities last Monday were in ex
cess of 100,000.
"Of course you talked about me
after I left you?”
"No, deaf; you had1 youdself
covered the subject completely.”
