DIFFICULT CHILDREN

SOME STUDIES IN PSYCHOLOGY

BY JESSIE STEPHEN

I have a friend who is the proud mother of two lovely children who chose rather a novel way of proper teaching her little ones

table manners. One day she cut herself a great chunk of jam tart, took it up in both her hands and began to eat it as if she had not had a meat for weeks. Both her children gazed at her in open- mouthed astonishment, and ob serving their amazement she said, "You should 'naver cut your food like this. It doesn't look very nice when mother does it, and what would you think if both your daddy and I always ate as I have been doing? You would think we were pigs, now, wouldn't you?"

They were Intelligent youngstera and agreed. Both knew why mother had acted in this strange way, and looked down in shame faced

twisting thoir manner. fingers nervously. It was a gentle reminder that they were too ofton given to dovouring their food in. the same way. Perhaps not all children would appreciate the lesson given in this way, but every mother is surely capable of devis. ing her own method of training her little ones.

It in far more satisfactory than always crying, "Don't do this!" or "Don't do that!" Children hate

these continual "don'ts." It is

because mothers do not always appreciate this that one so often hears them talk about their "dimeult" children, complaining about them having more than their share of original sin.

"The Hunchback," one of the best money-makers ever produced, is named as the first picture on the new Laemmle programme. It is to have an all-star cast. Claude Rains, who has arrived back in New York after making "The Clairvoyant," in London, is being considered for the role of Quasi- modo.

When Universal made "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" in 1923, it bullt the settings repre- senting the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and the historient buildings surrounding it, not out of papier mache, but of granite and concrete. These buildings were left stand- ing, and will be used again.

"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is to be followed by "Show Boat," in which Irene Dunne and John Boles are scheduled for the leading relea; "Under Two Flaga," by Ouida; and "Sutter's Gold," the drama surrounding the billionaire discoverer of the Sacramento Klondyke.
