"LITTLE MAN, WHAT NOW?"
Answer At The King's
Theatre
The most important questions be- fore the world to-day are concern- ed with the problems of its youth. The whole world is asking "Little Man What Now?" What faces the
young--and the young woman.? How may the rising generation best meet the buffetings of the world and thus rise above the birth which, at best gave them only
Ke?" What does the world owe those on the threshold of man- hood, ready to launch forth in the long struggle which shall settle their destiny and seal their fate.? This is the age of youth and thus anything which affects the youn- Ker generation becomes of the ut- most importance.. The era is past When it was necessary for beard- ed patriarchs to advance civiliza- tion and keep a gulding hand on the progress of the world, and in the main it is the younger men who animate the dynamic, for- ward-looking movements of the present.
For the young man I believe that nothing 13 of more import- ance than the quality of self-re- liance--the ability to stand on his own feet and fight his own battles. This is a fundamental tenet of success in any calling and in most cases the actual difference between success and fallure.
Revolution And Change. Led by youth, the whole is at the present movement in a state of revolution, and violent change, though the objectives of the up- heaval are not yet apparent or understood. But with youth in the saddle the solution of world problems will be fought through to a successful Anish, and it is only necessary to keep control of world affairs out of the hands of those who would tear down what has already been built up.
A large proportion of the unfin- ching courage of men is directly attributable to women. Find E brave woman beside him. This truth 13 forcefully illustrated in the latest pièture "Litle Man What Now.7" · Margaret Sullavan
· and Douglas Montgomery in the leading roles of Lammchen and Hans are presented as a young married couple all bút submerged by the cruelties of the depression ́but sustafïed by their youth and their great love for each other: "Their story I think parallels that of many other young couples throughtout the world and illust- rates in dramatic fashion the two furces which-will-prove-most-im---- portant in the solution of civiliza- tion's present ilik

LOVES
Margaret Sullavan Speaks Her Mind
"If a woman sincerely loves a man, she will stick to him through thick and thin, come what may." This is the assertion of Margaret Bullavan, star of Frink Borzage's romantic Universal drama, "Little man, What Now?" with Douglas Montgomery in the leading, male role.
"When a woman falls deeply in love)" zays Miss Sullavan, “she is ready to sacrifict everything “at the dictates of her heart, and ma- terial things do not enter into the question, Misfortuně or privation : only serve to draw her closer to the man to whom she has given her affection. and to make her more of a helpmate than before A wife likes to feel that she is do- ing her share in facing the world and its fickle fortunes, and that she and her husband are on an' equst footing when it comes to making life a success. Nothing is so sure a test of true love as a touch of poverity.
"These are the ideas which ani- mate the character I play in my latest picture, and they so closely parallel my own that I feel I have put my heart into the role. In the story Dunglas Montgomery and I are seen as a young couple undaunted by the cruelties of the world-wide depression because they have youth and each other." "Little Man, What Now?" comes to the King's Theatre on Sunday, and the cast supporting Miss Bul-" lavan and Montgomery. Includes Alan Halt, Hedda Hopper, George Meeker, Sarah Padden, Bodil Ros- ing. Mae Marsh and many other popular screen players...

The world owes the young man a living only if he is qualified. to take it by the force of his own efforts and is not content to wait tor favours to be handed to him on a silver platter. The world owes the man nothing unless the force of his own' efforts creates a dept which automatically, becomes a definite obligation on the part of Society,
The youth cannot be content to drift to some placé or some situa- tion in which he will be assured of a measure of the world's good and, good-will. He must carve out a niche for himself and then pro- ceed to it. Having created the niche unremitting effort is neces- sary to maintain and enlarge the position thus gained, for a mere "flash in the pan" is of benefit only at the moment. I daresay that the majority of to-day's suc- cessful men are self-made and have reached their present post- tion in the world solely because they were possessed of that indo- mitable "will to do" which is the secret of outstanding accomplish-
ment.
