Editorial Correspondence
LOS Feb. 26. Again the weather man nods.
Not only no rain but a bright summer day the pet poodles
getting an airing in Pershing Square waddle about with their
tongues hanging out.
We retract that statement about h. A. being just the same.
Down town at the noon hour it is still a cross between the
basement at the old Chicago Fair and Coney Island on the
Fourth of July. But a few days of street walking reveals a
stratlinc; transformation the cafeterias are dying out. Many
of the Boos establishments are closed with "for rent" signs
on the door. Cafeterias started in Los Angeles L. A. without
(hem is like a Hollywood chorine without a lipstick. The repeal
of prohibition and the return of prosperity, has thus far been
the only explanation offered. The Liberty League would no
doubt dismiss this as more New Deal propaganda, and perhaps
for once the L. L. would be right.
' 'With the cafeteria decline has come a revival of swank night
clubs and nifty cocktail
place like red pepper on a toasted eheese sandwich. We tackled
one last night only a few steps
called Omar's Dome. The place
crowded, waiters m white mess
the impressive head waiter asked if we would be willing to sit
down and wait for a few minutes. We declined and started
out whereupon he showed great concern, and asked us to follow
him. He led us thr-.ugh a winding passage way, heavily carpet
ed, and escorted us to a booth, in another room which resembled
Omar's Dome without the orchestra and the dance floor. There
was a long bar, dim orange indirect lighting, palms, flowers
and furnishings in glazed glass, maple and stainless steel. For
nil the world like a movie set in Hollywood. VTe were prepared
to pay for the atmoi.phere and get gyped on the meal, but truth
compels us to state the dollar dinner was very good, the service
excellent, and even the hat girl didn't wave her penciled left
eyebrow loose at the sight of , a dime. What an anti-climnx
however as we went out to find by the light of a Neon sign,
that we had not dined in Omar's Dome or its annex but "The
Oasis" next door! The OASIS, ISN'T that typically Los An
geles tries so hard and comes so near to being the real thing,
and never quite makes itl
Add prosperity notes: Mr. Ernest Lubitsch, former head of
Paramount, left here the other day for a belated honeymoon in
Kurope, with the former Vivian Gaye, whom he married last
August Interviewed in Chicago regarding his alleged row with
Mae West he deposed somewhat as follows5
"Push Mao West around! Her press agent is crazy. Mac
it much too heavy for anyone to push around.
"She was in the hov business long before I thought of being
a produecrl . Kight again, I am 44. Miss West is much older
than I am."
Imagine, a Paramount director talking to a box office asset
like Mae West, in that fashion three years agol
Warner Brothers must be right.. They say the movie busi
ness today is better than it has been at any time since 1923.
..
Well we have sampled more of it sinee our last and can only
say as long as one enn see delightful and charming operettas
like Rose Marie; origiu.tl and intelligent melodramas like the
Petrified Forest, and side-splitting comedies like Charlie Chap
lin in Moclern.Timeii, the big boys over in Hollywood DESERVE
to make money.' They give value' received and earn their extra
dividends (if any) I ,
There is nothing better than corn beef and cabbage if you
like corn beef and cabbage. There is nothing worse if you
DON'T. It's all a matter of taste. So with Charley Chaplin.
As one of the original Chaplin fans, of course we liked "Modern
Times''', and as we haven't seen
this is no time to begin.' We guess, there is nothing to say
further, except thai Charley sings a song in this oue, as a sing
ing waiter, it starts with French, goes to Spanish, ends up with
Italian and shows that in addition to his other accomplishments
the genius of the silent movie has a voice. He can also perform
on roller skates like the man on the flying trapeze, and shows
when he emerges from an old piano box, attired in a one-piece
swimming suit and taken a swim dive into a mud puddle about,
two inches deep, he k also no slouch as an acrobat. His new
leading lady however we must admit, is a great disappointment
a hard-faced, glass-eyed young Miss, so utterly devoid of
screen appeal and charin, we can only conclude Charley is a
tragic victim of that middle-aged vanity, which refuses to yield
to an oculist's advice until it is too late!
..
The Petrified ' Forest I charmingly written, .cleverly con
structed, skillfully directed, but in spite of Leslie Howard and
Bettc Davis (tip tup in the major roles), an unknown steals
the show. At least an unknown to us, he took the part of the
gangster gunman from Oklahoma, who made his last stand in
the Arizona Bar B-Q service station. In fact we didn't even
SEE his name, which reminds us, if we had anything to do with
the movies we would put on the cast AFTER the show, as well
us BE FORK it, R. W. R.

OVERTRAIN r.SO OF DOCTORS A.VD NURSES
i One large factor m the high cost of
medical care today la the overtraining
of physicians and nurse.
The present
system of medi
cal education Is
well adapted to
the training cf
specialist, brass
specialists, but Is
far too highbrow
and long-winded
for the training
of good family
physicians. It
would be better
for - the public
and better for
the profession if we were to return
to the system of a generation ago,
giving a straight four-year course tn
medicine following Immediately up
on graduation from high school. Then
a year or 18 montha lnterneablp In a
hospital or In lieu of that a term of
satisfactory service as assistant to a
preceptor, and then a license to en
ter practice tor himself. Incidentally
the graft should be taken out of the
licensing of physicians. No good rei
son why the state should not Issue
a license to any physician who has
graduated from a medical school rec
ognized by the state. It Is nothing but
graft, vicious legitimate graft, that
perpetuates the present system of ex
acting a fee from the duly graduated
physician for a more or less tricky
examination before giving him his
license. Of course the public pays for
all this graft In the end. The public
squawks incessantly about the high
cost of medical care, but nobody ever
thinks of cutting out the graft and
shenanigan.
I think I know a competent nurse
when I see her at work. I've lectured
to nurse training classes, sneaked the
poor girls thru their examinations
when their papers were Just terrible,
learned humbly from them how to do
things to bring more comfort to pa
tients, quarreled vainly with their
superintendents over the manner of
their training, but I know I can't
measure a nurse's ability by any ex
amination calculated to determine
how much mischievous near-medical
knowledge she haa picked up while
learning how to care for the sick.
Most of the snooty hospitals have u
three-year training course for nurses.
Dr. Wm. Mayo not long ago express
ed the oplnlon that two years of hos
pital training Is sufficient to make a
good nurse. Of -course It Is. The third
year la graft graft for the. hospital,
for It gives the hospital a year - of
skilled nursing service for Ies than

THE more than half a million
automobile accidents In this
country last year, 31 per cent, or
nearly one out of three, were caused
by exceeding the speed limit.
That la something to think about
when one la tempted to step on it.
BUT that isn't auT
The death rate In the accideira
Involving exceeding the speed limit
waa THIRTY-FIVE PER CENT HIGH
ER than the average death rate for
all accidents resulting from improper
driving practices.
That Is to say, you're not only
more likely to have an accident when
you're driving at excessive speed but
you're considerably more likely to get
killed yourself or to kill someone else
If you have an accident.
That's something to remember.
w
TTH the papera still full of
Hauptman news, It's Interesting
to note that the cost of tne Hautt
mann trial to New York, New Jersiy
and the United States was a little
in excess of a million dollars.
Since the purpose of law enforce
ment is not so much vengeance for
crimes already committed as preven
tion of other crimes, one can't help
wondering U the Hauptmann trial
waa worth what It cost.
It begins to look aa If It wouldn t
get very far in the way. of discour
aging other crimes.
WERE hearing a lot In these days
about the great advancement
Russia la making, and It must be
true that great strides are being
made over there.
'. But according to a -recent official
bulletin from Moscow, the average
Russian farmer has Just SIX DOL
LARS a year to spend.
So It looks as If they have room
for a lot more advancement befue
they get anywhere really worth git
ting. -
YOU may have noticed that Greece
announced s recently that shs'd
ilka to make a little payment on' the
Interest due on her American war
debt. Perhaps you wondered why.
, Well, It seems that Greece has tai
thrifty notion that If she will pay a
little she can BORROW considerably
more from the United States than
she pays.
We've got to admit that these
European nations are thrtlty.
