I Anita rage i Is In "Caught j Short" at State The vogue for mental games has taken hold of Hollywood. Starting with Freud's and Jung's psychol ogy tests it took the form of cross word puzzles and has extended to all types of Indoor games. - Any evening gathering will re veal some brain-twister puzzle which will keep the guests in a concentrated mental state for hours. In spite of the taxing of one's mental powers It has proved to to be a great outlet to those who have been tied up with the throes of talking picture wor ries. Completely shutting off any dif ficulties or problems, these games keep one so occupied that all else is forgotten. They are even being in dulged in on the great "silent" stages where the picture players quietly await their turn before the camera and microphone. Anita Page, the little blonde play er now appearing at the State thea ter for the last time today in the Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer picture, "Caught Short," finds that some In teresting puzzle keeps her more alert for her screen work than when she concentrates on memorizing her lines while waiting for her cue.
