Box 4040, Merchandise Mart, Dept. 257, Chicago. The Best GRAY HAIR Remedy is Made at Home You can now make at home a better gray hair remedy than you can buy, by following this simple recipe: To half pint of water add one ounce bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and one-fourth ounce of glycerine. Any druggist can put this up or you can mix it yourself at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. Barbo imparts color to streaked, faded or gray hair, makes it soft and glossy and takes years off your looks. It will not color scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off. little," Mayo interrupted. "Not much, you understand. Just a suggestion of a slup. Remember, you're hungry." Leslie Howard put down his soupspoon caressingly. He looked up gravely with not a hint of a smile to go with the faint twinkle in his eyes. "I think not," he said, "You see, although the chap I'm playing is hungry, he is essentially well-bred. It would distress him to eat soup with a perceptible slup. It would distress him no end. Slupping, or blibbing, as it is referred to in some countries, would be quite foreign to his nature and ..." He continued. The whole vast subject of slupping was gravely, learnedly brought forth until Mayo suddenly realized that all was not as it seemed on the surface. In fact, he was being ribbed. He snorted, then grinned. "Okay ! You win ! Play it — or slup it — any way you like !" He turned to the sound man. "Hey, Lou ! You might as well take your mike and go for a walk — this is a silent take !" The lights went on and the camera turned over. Leslie picked up his spoon caressingly. Mayo called, "Action!" In the cathedral stillness of the set, the actor proceeded with his soup — and the careful, studied slupping could be heard to the rafters. But the. sound man was far, far away and Mayo was slumped disgustedly in his chair. TESLIE HOWARD just likes to break ' rules for the fun of it when it begins to look as though life and the pursuit of art were being taken too seriously. He has two simple systems that work in Hollywood. The foregoing is a fair example of one of them, but his best method is wandering. As a wanderer, he has no equal. None but a genius could figure out the places to wander to and go to sleep in that Leslie can with no apparent effort. One of the favorite spots — and all assistant directors can herewith take notice — is the cat-walk high above the stage. While people course about below like maddened hounds in pursuit of a fox, the missing star is having himself a quiet time with a small camera, taking intimate shots of his pursuers looking under divans and into bins, calling plaintively, "Oh, Mr. Howard!" But if he's feeling a bit wan and tired and a bit annoyed over the fact that Hollywood companies don't always stop for a spot of reviving tea at 4 P.M., he has, very likely, gone in search of cars parked about the stage entrance. He eschews his own super-sports model — because pursuers are apt to look there first. So he usually picks a handy limousine and curls up in the front seat. He picks the front seat nowadays because once a careless chauffeur didn't see him and drove off with him reclining in blissful slumber in back. Leslie Howard, I'm afraid, is typical of no man but Leslie Howard. And more power to him ! say I. He lives life with lively interest, a tongue in cheek and a quiet understanding of human nature — including the feminine of the species.
