What the privates were wearing
at the Heart Hop last night:
The heavy emphasis by the male
element on browns and other dark
colors was clearly established. The
single-breasted coat remains in
vogue. (They’re buttoning all the
buttons this year.)
Those privates who left their I'O
socks at home seemed to prefer
the fashionable tan footwear. The
usual variety in hats was missing:
the apparent distinction of some
models proved to lie only in the
unique manner in which they were
worn. Tire eminent style authority,
Major Averill, insists that hats be
; worn to ail functions this season.
One handsome private from the
i East introduced a darling novelty
which may well be the hit of the
season. The novelty is a hand
painted collar stay designed to dc
wonders for roughly-laundered
shirts.
A word about the female fash
ions: dresses seem to predominate
this season.
Brief interview with the Boy of
the Week:
“i love people,’’ the Boy of the
Week told us, as we dragged up a
sofa to sit on, “but I wish you
wouldn’t quote me.”
The Boy of the Week began to
slgp the punching bag which hung
from the ceiling of his den. Should
er muscles rippled under smooth
skin.
“I don't know what it is about
people, but I do love them,” he
wc-nt on. “Maybe it’s that I feel
akin to them. My father was a
philosopher, too. He used to teach
at Oregon, you know. Oh, that was
a long time ago. I was a late child,
you see. My’ parents spoiled me,
but I don’t mind. I think a spoiled
child is always something of a
genius. Ha! I like witty people
especially, don’t you?”

The Cutting Room
By BILL BUELL
"Higher and Higher,” starring swoon-crooner Frank Sinatra
is absolutely the most wonderful, magnificent, super-colossal,
j simply superb, absolutely divine picture ever to come out o£
Hollywood, London, or Timbuktu.
In fact the show is absolutely perfect. Sinatra makes his
emergence as the supreme matinee idol of the twentieth century.
inol since tue nays ui uoug ra.ii
banks has the spirit of reckless
adventure been so ably portrayed
on the screen. The torrid love scenes
of Rudolph Valentino are as cold
as the back porch of an igloo com
pared with the flaming passion
portrayed by Sinatra.
But in our admiration for this
greatest of screen personalities we
must not forget the other sterling
qualties of this superb masterpiece
of cinema art. Writing, directing,
acting, all are perfect. Compared
with the riotous comedy with
which this picture is packed, the
early Charlie Chaplin epics are as
somber and humorless as funerals
For sheer dramatic effect, and for
undoubted historical importance,
"Higher and Higher” can easily be
ranked above "The Birth of a Na
tion.”
In the larger cities of the nation
ambulance corps with stretchers
and straight jackets have t|'en
kept busy day and night clearing
tlie theaters of women who have
been moved to screaming, fainting,
hysterics by the sheer emotional
intensity of this picture. Never be
fore have we seen anything like it.
