By LEMUEL F. PARTON
NEV YORK.—A few years ago,
this writer had the job of get-
ting up an amateur entertainment.
Robert Sherwood was just an added
starter, but he
Bob Sherwood, ran away with
Gay or Staid,
the show. He is
six feet, six
Steals Show inches tall, of
lath-like dimensiens and has a trick
of undulating both his chest and his
Adam's apple at the same time,
when he sings. To hear him sing,
“When the Rob-Rob-Robin Comes
Bob - Bob - Bobbin',"” undulating
through a full octave, and flapping
his long arms,
ment. He could have filled the the-
aters that way if he hadn't become
a playwright.
With all his gift for foolery,
his is the “weltschmerz’” of a
shy, sensitive, thoughtful man,
and his are the peculiarly civi-
lized qualitie~ which enabled
him to portray ‘““Abe Lincoln in
Illinois’’ with insight and fidelity
which have brought the hearti-
est critical salvo of years and
many cries of ‘“‘the great Ameri-
can drama at last.” Some of the
reviewers see here a thrilling
“play within a play” in the
skilled and timely dramatization
of Lincoln's timeless utterance
at just this moment of national
wavering and soul-searching.
Mr. Sherwood may be a man of
destiny.
He would dismiss all that with a
slight thoracic undulation and per-
haps a modest quip. He is the least
pontifical of men, as he proved
when he was a drum-major in the
war. Unable to make the grade in
our army, he joined the Canadian
Black Watch. They put him in kilts,
gave him a shako and a huge baton
and enjoyed him tremendously as
he quickly mastered the necessary
twirling and stick-tossing stunts,
But they also used him in plenty of
fighting, in several hot engage-
ments. The trouble was that the
trenches were only six feet deep and
he was a constant lure to enemy
sharpshooters. He was gassed and
sent to the hospital for a long stretch
—about two feet beyond the end of
the cot. He read a great deal, and
decided to be an author.
Demobilized, he connected with
Vanity Fair as dramatic critic, did
a two weeks’ turn as a reporter in
Boston, joined the staff of Life and
later became its editor. He was
born in New Rochelle, in 1806, and
left Harvard to get into the war.
This is his eleventh play, not
counting “Tom Ruggles’ Sur-
prise,”” which he wrote at the
age of eight, His fame as a
playwright began with “The
Road to Rome,” which he wrote
in 1927, “just to lift a couple of
mortgages,” as he put it. In
1922, he married Miss Mary
Brandon, the actress. He has
an apartment in Sutton place,
New York, and a modest estate
in Surrey, England, where he
has been helping Alexander Kor-
da produce films,

son, the Met an-
nounced 14 new
singers. There is one American
contralto, 11 Germans, Austrians,
Italians and Swedes and two new
American male singers, John Car-
ter and Leonard Warren.
Over in our Rockland county,
N. Y., we have been quite ex-
cited over a “popular local
farmer,”” as one of the parochial
sheets had it, making the grade
at the Metropolitan. He is the
26-year-old Mr. Carter, who has
been growing beans and pota-
toes, singing at his work, near
New City. Mr. Carter, born in
New York city, studied engi-
neering at New York university.
The depression turned him to
vaudeville and later to his joint
cultivation of voice and garden
truck. He and Mr, Warren were
winners in the Metropolitan's
audition of last March.
Mr. Warren, also 26, was born in
the Bronx, son of a Russian-born
fur dealer. He felt constraint in
turning his big voice loose in town,
but let it run in the big north woods,
with his father on fur-buying trips.
That was how he first knew he had
a voice. He studied at Columbia
university and night school.’

How the Expert Shoots
The best and most effective shoot-
ing form requires little movement
of the hands and arms, once the gun
has been put on the shoulder and
the comb is against the cheek. From
that point on, the direction of the
muzzle is changed by moving the
entire upper part of the shooter's
body, the gun remaining in the same
relative position with respect to the
cheek and shoulder.
« EEING the beauty, the ele
gance, the artistry, the charm
and versatility of this season's
fur fashions it would seem as if
each and every designer is pos-
sessed with the idea that nothing
short of a masterpiece must be
turned out in order to meet the
demands of a fastidious public.
It is a fact we are growing more
exacting each year in regard to
the furs we wear. We have come to
expect of fur that it be styled with
all the versatility of supple fabric,
and that every phase of fashion from
hats to shoes and even dresses (very
smart ones are being turned out
made all of thin supple fur) be ex-
pressed in terms of fur.
new fashions in fur not only come
up to expectations but they go far
beyond.
This season it is not only
rious apparel wrought in fur but
especial emphasis is being placed
on “little furs’ as they are often
called. By which we mean the most
charming little odd neckpieces and
muffs, to be properly stylewise you
really must carry a muff from now
on until spring.

look that makes it convincingly of
1838 vintage. The hat worn with it
is also of Persian. It has an insert

leather motifs held with silver em-

The smartest fashion going is the
fur-jacket costume. There are such
from bolero to the widely exploited

ployed in making them run such a
gamut of luxury and novelty, that
the best one can hope to do is to

dress becomes a necessary luxury.

Fits Like Glove
AY
This charming satin evening gown
is in a modish zinnia-rust color. The
short puffed sleeves and the flaring
skirt hemline are important style
features. To say this exquisite
dress, which made its debut at a
style revue held in the Merchan-
dise Mart, Chicago, “fits like a
glove” is no idle boast for it does
just that. . The reason for its ideal
moulded-to-the-form look is that it
is fashioned across the bust and at
the back of matalex satin quite
after the manner of the amazing las-
tex form-fitting bathing suits that
were such general favorites last
summer,

true Edwardian elegance that the
new ostrich trims now bring into

of a single ostrich plume from back

wonderfully flattering. Have the fun

trich-trimmed evening wraps will
frequent the winter fashion scene.
Fall Styles Call
For New Corsetry
In the new silhouettes the trend is
toward an uplift bustline, that gives
more of a corseted figure. Since the
call is for a slenderized waistline
that extends into a sleek and slim
body line up to the bust it is very
necessary to look into this matter
of the new corsetry that designers
offer in order to conform to de-
mands of a “different” figure from
that heretofore advocated in fash-
jon's realm.

Games No Substitute,
You probably think that recrea-
they are
not. They stimulate the body
through increased circulation and
allow the skin pores to secrete
waste but they do not build the body
symmetrically because they are
“one-sided.” Seldom is a woman
adept in using both her right hand
and her left hand in sports.
Walking can be an excellent ac-
tivity if it is done on soil which al-
lows a spring to the step and if the
body is carried with good posture at
a steady pace and if you wear loose
clothing and correct walking shoes.
Swimming is the exception in rec-
reational sports. It exercises all
the muscles of the body providing no
one stroke is overpracticed, and it
develops the body symmetrically
and beautifully.
These Exercises
Will Help
So, you see, unless you can swim
it becomes quite necessary
for you to resort to corrective ex-
ercises if you desire good health
and a supple body. Exercises that
will offset the ravages of our seden-
tary, inactive living. Here are two

HINT-OF-THE-DAY
If you are the nervous, high-strung

to relax your way to poise. Take
things easy. Rest. Exercise to re-

It is never the thoroughly relaxed
person who suffers from insomnia.
Lack of sleep is usually a symptom
of a harried mind or a nervous dis-
order. Much can be done to over
come insomnia.
Regular sleeping hours are quite
necessary. Make it a habit to retire
the same hour and to arise the same
hour until you are relaxed.
