THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1930.
Ever since the time that a husky football player, stirred emotionally clear down to his No. 12 brogans, uttered the classic, "I'd die for dear old Siwash", college spirit has been immortalized in fiction and drama.
There is found a goodly portion of college atmosphere in the Fox Movietone revue, "Words and Music", which counts. among its cast the football squad of the University of Southern California, national champion of ́1928.
But "Words and Music" has still another distinction. It introduces to the public a new co-educational institution, Darnell College, founded as the first university of the dance.
You are invited to attend Darnell University. Complete information available at the Queen's Theatre next week. The "big man" of the college, by the way. is Tom Patri- colu.
Taming of the Shrew." Advice to wives: If you want to know how to handle your hus- bands, see "Taming of the Shrew."
Advice to husbanda: If you want to know how to handle your wives, see "Taming of the Shrew." Crammed to the brim with good --or not 50 good-matrimonial panaceas is the glorious comedy af William Shakespeare's which is now at the Queen's Theatre. Also, it is the vehicle which brings Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks to the screen for the first time as co-stars.
As the beautiful but

mental Katherine, Miss Pickford appears before motion picture au- diences in an entirely new and striking role. She startled her followers in "Coquette" by a trans- formation from the "Little-girl”, "Golden-cur!", type of role to that of a sophisticated grown up, but as The Shrew she reaches the heights in a decidedly different characterization, establishing her- self beyond doubt as the screen's greatest

.DON'T COAX YOUR CHILDREN.
"I wish you would go and bring my work-basket, Nora," says the mother, and as the child does not go she says, "Haven't you gone yet? Oh, do go, there's a dear."
Nora goes on playing, ao mother says, "If you go I'll give you a big Nora still takes no chocolate. notice, so she is offered further inducement.
Why should a child be coaxed to do little things for her mother? If children are coaxed one day they will expect it always and not listen to what they are told the first time.
May
one who has successfully taught "the young idea how to shoot," suggest that children lose respect for their parents if coaxing is used?
Unquestioning Manner and Tone.
There is much in the manner in which children are told to do things, even in the tone of voice. It should be firm, unquestioning, and a note in it of expecting them to do what is right, of never ex- pecting them to do the contrary-- not the "you-will-he-good-won't- you" style.
It is wise, perhaps. after re- questing something to be done to let the child think a moment, and not keep on repeating it, or the child feels you expect him to refuse.
Why She Liked Her Governess.
If there is the right atmosphere in the home, children will want to do things for those they love with- out rewards. There are occasions when prompt obedience and not coaxing is necessary, when there is danger to life in these days of crowded roads, or in bathing at the seaside; and if the habit is not formed the promptness will not be there when required,
Children are imitative, and if parents have a firm purpose in their own words and acts, this will help. A child of eight once anid, comedienne. Fairbanks," like my governess, she is not of course, is outstanding in his sloppy." favourite type of role-that of the swaggering, conceited, lovable Pe- truchio. With his adaptation, in which not one bit of the glorious Shakespearean dialogue has been sacrificed when in keeping with the fast-moving comedy, Director Sam Taylor has retold the story with the deftness so characteristic of his work with Miss Pickford in the never-to-be-forgotten "Coquette".
Those of the featured supporting east who assist Miss Pickford and Mr. Fairbanks in "Taming of the Shrew" are Joseph Cawthorn, s Cremio, Ewin Maxwell as Baptista, Geoffrey Wardwell

"The Heart of a Follies Girl," a First National picture now show. ing at the Majestic Theatre, Kow- loon, starring Billie Dove, is one of those rare pictures that combines gay, colourful atmosphere with a powerful dramatic plot. We have beautiful Billie Dove weeping in some scenes, but that only makes her more appealing than Her charm and acting ability were never so effectively exhibited, and Larry Kent, Lowell Sherman, Mildred Harris, and Clarissa Selwynne have excellent roles. well portrayed.

John's magazine story of the title. An exceptionally appealing romance that presents many unusual situa- tions is woven into the plot, and the drama, as we have said, hits many high points throughout the story.
"The Heart of a Follies Girl" we believe, is a picture that everyone will enjoy to the fullest extent.

A Dainty Short Evening Coat.
One of the newest evening ensembles looks like a novel jacket sult, for the coat, is only hip-length and is cut absolutely on jacket lines. It has a long roll collar which crosses over in a most severe style; it fits at the waist just like any other tailored coat, and it has cuffs to the sleeves. The frock of one such suit was made of silvery grey mousseline. The long princess bodice was entirely tucked, the tucks being about two inches wide, while the skirt fell in four points and was obviously made from one piece of very wide material beautifully fitted on to the bodice at the hips. The jacket was of thick silver lame, lined with silver-grey quilted satin, and it had a long roll collar and straight elbow-deep cuffs of quilted grey velet. This was very new.
