Why Chaplin Is a Genius — Science of Faciology Tells You (Continued from page 4y) Why John Gilbert Has Hunches JOHN GILBERT'S prominent roundended nose— sharper than Will Roj — attracts the attention ot the characterreader. It you have this type of nose, you are poetic, philosophical, intuitive, artloving and fun-loving. If you have followed the hectic fortunes of John Gilbert on the screen and in private life, you will see that these characteristics made him a star on the screen and spoiled his domestic life. This does not mean that if you have this type of nose, you a nnot find happiness in domesticitv: but it does mean that you'll have to curb your tendency to be a playfellow to do so. John Gilbert admitted to me that he is all of the things that his strongest feature betokens, especially as to his strong hunches or intuitions. If you have this rounding, ballpointed nose, don't overlook your hunches. You'll often be called strange and erratic, as John is — but you'll be forgiven much, as he is, for your ability to cheer others when they are in difficulties. People who have prominent eyes like Joan Crawford's have a wonderful command of words and music, make good linguists, and are good story-tellers. Also, they are sensitive — almost super-sensitive. Richard Barthelmess looks like a picture from the title page of "When Knighthood Was In Flower." The strong chin marks him as a natural defender of distressed womanhood, and as a man able to take care of himself among other men. The dimpled cleft in the chin modifies the combativeness of his face somewhat — but doesn't take away your assurance that he is the type who could be depended upon in a crisis. Jean's Promising Eyebrows J'EAX HARLOW is the type of woman that has gone down through the ages as the calm centers of emotional storms. This type always has and always will appeal to man's protective instinct — looking passionate and keeping cool. Note the sharp curve of Jean's eyebrows — high at the outer edges, much lower at the nose, with which they shape a well-defined "V." Like the ancient Greek sculptors, Jean has an amazing genius for form — a genius which, in her case, allows her to visualize just how she will look in any pose she takes. She could be a sculptress if she chose, even though it may never have entered her mind to try. Marlene Dietrich has an artistic and musical face. Note the ears as an outstanding feature. Marlene's ear is like that used in the advertisement: "Have you an ear lor music?" She has — and so have you, if your ears are similar. Marlene likes bits of music in her pictures. Remember that she sang tauntingly in "Morocco" and played a sinister piano solo in "Dishonored?" Just looking at her, you'd expect her to move rhythmically So, you see, no matter what your features may be, those particular strong ones that are most unusual for your general type are the ones that give greatest promise for your development into an outstanding personality on or off the screen. See the best films that you can and study those stars whose success seems to depend on a feature, such as we have noted in this article. Pick one whose strongest feature is similar to your own. This will help you to know yourself— and, if you take another lesson from the stars, you'll be yourself. Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
