PRODUCER PROBLEM
A defence of the historical film, which has been coming in for some criticism recently, is made by a correspondent of the Daily Tele-i graph.
bo Making, an historical im, writes, is rather like adapting a famous book or play; it has the Bamo obvious advantages and the same formidable difficulties.
Hollywood, at the present mo- ment, is in the throes of a Dickens cycle. Now each of these prodde tions starts with the advantage that, in theory at least, the whole world knows the books.
What happens? Well, in the first place everybody has his own Idea about the characters. This the reader clings to with an affec- tion worthy of better art.
It is the кате with history. Worse. Most people ло longer think it shame not to have read "Oliver Twint"; but all ages wish it to be thought that they know i their history.
Even where the criticism is hla- torically sound, it often reveals a lack of understanding of, and sym- pathy for, the problems of the pro- ducer. He has not merely to make his characters acceptable, overcom- ing all sorts of preconceived ideas as to how they looked and spoke and ate; he must also make them entertaining.
CURLS FAVOURED
Evening coiffures are much more simple than they were, but curls still figure in them. Here are two of the newcet examples, the lower one show- ing how the curls are brought low on to the brow.

SCHOOLS ADOPT TRAMP SHIPS
Ox-
A scheme for associating element- ary schools with tramp steamships for teaching geography was plained at the annual conference of. the Geographical Association, which was opened recently at the London School of Economics,
Mr. L. Brooks said that the idea originated with Lord Sandon, who thought the practice used by many teachers of following fixed shipping routes in their lessons could be im- proved on. His own children had adopted certain tramp ships, and had fallowed them on their trips through the world. Lord Sandon was interested in one of the largest Arms of tramp shipowners, which allotted at first two of their ships For adoption, one by the Childeric Road Junior Boys' School, Dept- Cord, and the other by the Millbank Senior Boys School, Westminster.
Each school had pictures of its ship in the classrooms and received letters from the captain and officers from all the porta visited during voyage. When the ships returned to the London Docks the scholars were taken down to see them and
