'TT'HE situation in the Brown
family is one 'that could
■*" not have existed a hundred
years ago. It is a problem born
of our modern civilization, and
one that many a wife and hus-
band will have to solve if social
and marital adjustments are to
be made successfully, and un-
necessary divorces avoided.
Ann Brown is 36, tall, ener-
getic, radiating health ajid
high spirits, and equal to
every demand life has made upon
her. Her husband, Rex, is a milder
type, and has never been particu-
larly fond of business of any sort, or
capable of holding anything but a
routine office job.
Life Moves East.
For four years before she mar-
ried, Ann taught in an aristocratic
private school. Then, before mar-
riage, she entered a woman’s col-
lege as a junior, and graduated
with honors in eighteen months. In
the three years after her marriage
she had a son and twin daughters
and managed them magnificently.
Upon Rex’s small salary Ann pur-
chased a large country house with
seven acres of orchard and garden,
and had paid for the place when Rex
lost his job seven years ago. She
immediately opened a girls’ concen-
tration school, taking four boarders
and enrolling a class of eleven. This
paid well, for many of the pupils
were difficult or arrested cases, and
Ann’s teaching experience had been
largely with children of this type.
Three years ago she was offered
a position in state work at $300 a
month. Her children were safe in
the hands of their father and a fine
old colored servant, and Ann was
free to go to the capital and em-
bark upon work that fascinated her.
A radio contract now pays her an
extra $50 a week. Here is a part of
her letter explaining the problem
she has to meet in making a sound
adjustment for herself and her
family.
Rex’s Life Happy.
“Rex lives happily upon our little
farm,” writes Ann. “He adores the
children, and he and Lenny, the
housekeeper, and certain friendly
neighbors live a community life that
more than satisfies him. I send him
$200 a month, and he saves on it,
raising garden vegetables on the
farm and selling apple and walnut
crops. We have two cows, but Rex
doesn’t get up to milk them; he
trades milk for a farmer’s services.
Rex sleeps, and eats, and laughs,
and loafs about, and says he is the
happiest man in the world
“Meanwhile I keep office hours,
interview scores of persons every
day, carry a heavy responsibility in
the decisions I have to make and
the treatment I have to recommend,
hold innumerable distressing meet-
ings with parents, prepare my 15
“I ask you if you consider this a
fair adjustment of a family’s finan-
cial problem. Is it fair to have one
partner working hard all day long,
occasionally skipping even the week-
end holidays, and to have the other
living on the fat of the land, en-
joying his children’s companionship
and entirely free from care? And
if you agree with me that it is not
fair, then what do you suggest as
an argument or change that will
bring matters back to normal?”
The Answer to Ann.
Well, to begin with, Ann, you de-
scribe here exactly the normal mar-
ried life, were the position of the
sexes reversed. Thousands—millions
of women, for hundreds of years,
have had the home, the housekeep-
er, the fruit and flowers, the chil-
dren’s companionship, the regular
income, the freedom for neighborly
intercourse that Rex is so much en-
joying. Were you the one at home
The issue at stake was wheth-
er or not he still retained his skill
as a locomotive engineer. The
scene was a movie location set,
and the stars of “Torrid Zone”
comprised the jury. It seems that
years ago the judge was a railway
engineer, and when he learned that
an old-time locomotive would be run
over its own private track on the
movie location, the jurist accepted
the invitation of the location man-
ager—also a former engineer—to
put the train through its paces.
With Pat O’Brien and Andy De-
vine in the cab, His Honor took the
driver’s seat, tugged the whistle
cord and opened the throttle. Ha
made the two-mile run in six min-
utes flat, cheered on by his two pas-
sengers.
If you liked “Topper” and “Top-
per Takes a Trip” you’ll probably
be delighted with “Turnabout,” by
the same author. Hal Roach is pro-
ducing and directing it, and the cast
is made up of people famous for
their gift for smart, sophisticated
comedy. It includes Carole Landis,
Mary Astor, Veree Teasdale,
Adolphe Menjou, William Gargan,
Margaret Roach, John Hubbard,
Donald Meek and Polly Ann Young.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has pur-
chased the rights to “Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde,” and is planning to pro-
and he the one at work, nobody could
find anything to criticize in the situ-
ation.
If that were the case you might
very naturally find yourself com-
plaining that while you were rele-
gated to dull household and farm
duties, the company of children and
an old colored woman, Rex was liv-
ing an exciting and important life
among the lights and gaieties of
the big city.
You are, obviously, the business
member of the family. Everything
you touch succeeds, and your in-
come already is one that many a
man would be proud to earn. You’ve
followed your bent, taking a few
years out for wifehood and mother-
hood, it is true, but immediately re-
turning to the wider field, to the
great service that you are privi-
leged to give to the unfortunate and
defective children of the world that
you meet in the course of duty in
the position of trust that you evident-
ly hold.
Consider Rex.

out to the farm Saturday at noon,
to receive a warmly affectionate

dren, of the burden that I carry than
if they were so many birds.
Offer Rejected.
“Some months ago Rex had a real-
ly good offer to go into the real
estate business with a man who
would put up all the capital, and
expect Rex to contribute only his
personality, which is very pleasing.
My husband declined the offer, ex-
plaining to me that he was too hap-
py as things are. His salary, if he
succeeded at all, would have made
it possible to save for the children’s
schooling; I would like to put all
three into fine boarding schools some
day.

ROBERT DONAT
duce it in England, with Robert Do-
nat in the dual starring role. Many
years ago it was the horror picture
of the year, with John Barrymore
playing the lead so magnificently
that he scared audiences almost into
fits.
Why grudge Rex his content? So
few men are content! If he likes to
putter about with apples and wal-
nuts, to take the muddy old car and
go bring the children home from
school, to hang on a fence gossip-
ing with a neighbor or to go off for
a few days’ fishing, why shouldn’t
he? If those quiet domestic occupa-
tions had satisfied you, he would
have been perfectly willing to have
you enjoy them, and would have
plodded away patiently at the office
work he hates, to support you in
them.
It is a poor nature that, taking
what it wants itself, yet looks aside
jealously at the simpler pleasures
of other folk and resents them.
Wives who fret because their hus-
bands enjoy downtown lunches, oc-
casional bridge games at the club
on the way home, lodge meetings,
golf, hunting, are pretty narrow
wives. To make someone else un-
happy never contributes to your own
happiness.
Los Angeles is noted as being one
of the athletic centers of the coihf
try, but when Ona Munson (the
“Belle Watling” of “Gone With the
Wind,” and the “Lorelei” of radio’s
“Big Town,”) landed out there she
couldn’t find any women to play
squash with her. She is an avid
squash fan, so she advertised in a
newspaper for feminine partners,
and received no replies. But Ona
didn’t let that stop her. She was
determined to play squash—and play
squash she does, with men. The
Men’s University Club in Hollywood
has an ironclad rule—“No Women
Allowed.” She’s an exception. She’s
admitted, to play squash—but on
Sundays only.

Rejoice, rather, that matters have
fallen out so fortunately. The chil-

crops and pruning, abdut the care
of the cows, the car, the roof shin-

Paige’s sponsor—Westinghouse—re-

In preparation for bringing Kath-
arine Hepburn back to the screen
in “The Philadelphia Story,” Metro
made a recording of a performance
of the play. She has had a long and
successful run in it, and it’s one of
her best roles. In the screen ver-

lieve he’d ever dare come back—

so many people that he was afraid
