The question arises, then, whe ther we are really, superior to the animals, and whether, we are not likely to lose our superiority if literature is permitted even in the schools which deliberately sets out to convince us that we are no better than dogs, foxes, storks and so forth Would it not be safer, on the whole, to cut all the human

Playora have to learn a lot of minuto details in the making of motion pictures. Take the cast of Reducing," for example, the new Marie Dressler Polly Moran comedy which will open on Sunday at the Queen's Theatre.
Marie Dressler had to take lessons from a masseur in order to. learn the correct beauty parlour technique,
Anita Pago, playing a cashier, found it required practice to play a cash register with deft profession- al accuracy.
Lucion Littlofield, mail-carrier, husband of the buxom Marie, car ried his right shoulder strapped down in order to give the effects of years of toting heavy bags of lot ters. And Lucien, too, had to learn how to snore, an accomplishment which he swears he had never be fore practiced.
Polly Moran actually gives a woman a permanent wave in this riotous story of beauty parlours. and if a man docan't think this requires advance study, have him ask any female relative...

NO LIMIT."
Clara Bow has a "new leading man. He is Norman Foster and
he is one of the most promising of the younger American stage-stars- turned-talkie
Foster plays the role of the crook who falls in love with Clara, an usherette in a large metropolitan theatre. They encounter many ex- eiting and romantic adventures- and in the end Foster foreswears a life of crime to please his sweet- heart.

Foster's knowledge of the theatre is well-founded and it carries through the theories as well as the practical application of the drama. With Harry Hamilton and Austin Strong, author of "Sovanth Heaven, Foster has collaborated on the writing of four plays, two of which have been accepted for future production by a leading. Broadway firm.
Foster was playing on Broadway in June Moon" when he was.first placed under contract by: Para mount for the part of Toby. Mclean in Young Man of Manhattan, a picture in which he won immediate favour. Following completion of this part he left on a tour, of the world, making his vagabond jour |ney on a freight vessel, which touch- ed all important ports of the globe. Foster's new long-term contract with Paramount was negotiated while he was in Paris, and it was there that he received notification
