MOVIE TIME TABLE New Child Training Still Misunderstood But Is Commendable By GLADYS BEVANS. It is amazing how many people there are who are still laboring under the old delusions about the modern child training who are still in a fog about what we mean when we talk about understanding and freedom who still think that those two things are synonymous with spinelessness on the parents' part and unbridled license on the child's who still picture the product of the new child training as an "insufferable little brat." For that reasot. I am always eager to rush to the defense of this (for want of a better word) new child training of ours one of the biggest things that has happened in modern times one of the biggest movements of the century.

Those who still have erroneous ideas or closed minds on the subject might gain some inkling of our objective might get a glimpse of what it is all about by reading the books and articles of those who are sanest and foremost in the field by talking with mothers who know what it's all about and even (daring suggestion!) by seeing some of the children who are products of the best of the new thought. Or bv having a really intimate acquaintance with some of the young people who are emerging from progressive schools, or progressive families. What caused this outburst of mine was a recent article by a woman writer in one of the leading evening papers of the country, in which she held forth upon the subject of the modern child psychology and the overindulged, mannerless, egotistical welt, what she meant was "insufferable brats" that it produced. One couldn't help feeling sure that the children she had in mind were products of some other system than the one we advocate or of individually stupid or overindul-gent parents. For if there is one thing the newer and wiser child training does not do it is this precise thing.

Wildness, abuse of freedom, disregarding the rights of others, strutting in the center of the stage are not qualities of these children of ours. Rather do we recognize all the old-fashioned virtues (meaning the ones that are real virtues) and add a few new ones, among which is the fitness to meet adequately the problems of this fast changing world. If people must assail the new child training they should at least know what they're talking about. (Copyright 1S35 by Chicago Tribune-N. T.

No date has been set for Brunie's formal debut, but the chances are it'll take nlace sometime during the height of oummer. The John Russell Popes have decided upon Aug.

Picture Is Depressing. Wanger, with Gregory LaCava directing, made a highly dramatic but very depressing film of "Private while Goulding, who Is author, producer, director and scenarist all in one of "The Flame Within," has fallen down on his own assignment. He has made a pretentious film that gives forth a hollow, phony sound whenever the character open their mouths to speak. Ann Harding plays the role of a psychiatrist who takes under her protective wing two young neurotics whom she proceeds to cure, that they may marry and settle down into normal, healthy domesticity.

Dr. Mary White's success with Lillian Belton, who had been left with a large fortune at too tender an age and had become temperamentally unbalanced, induces her to undertake the cure of Lillian's drunken, unstable fiance. The latter process is a longer and slower one, during the rourse of which Dr. Mary becomes infected herself. She falls in love with young Jack Kerry and thus pives her colleagues a chance to say, "Doctor, heal thyself." Dr.

Gordon Phillips, competently played by Herbert Marshall, is in love with Dr. Mary and it is he who finally makes her see her way clear to sacrificing herself for her patient' happiness.

And now when the last vestige of the vast Cosden fortune has vanished and it has become necessary for both Nell and Josh to buckle down to the business of keeping the wolf from the door, Mrs. Cosden is wise enough to apply to commercial use the experience she received while she supervised the decoration of her residences in Palm Beach, Warren-ton, Long Island and Man hattan. Incidentally, it was in the luxuri ous Sands Point country home of the cosdens that the Prince of Wales and his cousins, Lord and Lady Louis Mountbatten.
