Simply get an ounce of Othine from any drug or department store and apply a little of it night and morning and you should soon see that even the worst freckles have begun to disappear, while the lighter ones have vanished entirely. It is seldom that more than an ounce is needed to completely clear the skin and gain a beautiful complexion. Be sure to ask for double strength Othine, as this is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to remove your freckles. Saving trie DaJJ Continued from page 85 "Not a bad idea," the railroad officials decided. "We'll try it." An emergency call was sent to Metro-Goldwyn. "An actress — a pretty actress," the company rerequested. "One who can make the world sit up and take notice that the greatest locomotives in captivity arrived at our Western terminal." Again Raquel Torres, the darkeyed Mexican maid, was summoned. "Raquel," said the head of the publicity department, "the Santa Fe Railroad can't draw any attention to its new engines. You've got to do something to help out. You'd better be an engineer. Get ready, and we'll send a photographer along." Now little Miss Torres didn't know anything about being an engineer. She didn't even know how engineers dressed, except that they wore caps and overalls, and carried long-nosed oil cans. Thus it came about that one afternoon not long ago Raquel went to the terminal station and approached an idle mogul. She slipped off her coat and stood revealed in her engineer's "costume." This consisted of a pair of overalls, from which the legs had been cut high above the knees, a silk shirt, a leather cap, and pair of tennis shoes. Her legs were as bare as the summit of old Mount Baldy. The trusty oil can was in her hand. "All right," she said demurely to the camera man. "Let's go !" Will the world sit up and take notice of the engine and the modern maid with the new style of uniform? Well, rather ! The support of the. movie girls must be back of all well-regulated movements, it would seem. Esther Ralston was named godmother to a better-babies contest conducted by a newspaper, although all she knew about babies was what she had read. The city of Los Angeles is not alone in its yearning for aid from actresses. Suburban towns, too, have grasped the value of their presence. There was Santa Ana, for instance, a few miles distant, in which the chamber of commerce and the junior chamber decided to merge. A big, get-together dinner was arranged, to be attended by members of both bodies, as well as by church societies, women's clubs, and social organizations. To lend glamour to the event, a few of the movie girls from Hollywood were invited to be present. Among them was Sally Rand, who is now dancing in vaudeville. Sally took along one of her dancing costumes— a shred of silk — and a pair of slippers. When the proper moment arrived, Miss Rand slipped into a side room and donned her inconsiderable costume. Then she burst into the banquet room and executed a dance which made the good matrons of Santa Ana gasp. "Think of that !" they exclaimed, icily. The smaller towns now borrow actresses for all their big events. Fresno chose Marie Prevost to be queen of its annual raisin festival, and Wallace Beery to be king. Hoot Gibson is the official master of ceremonies at half the rodeos staged on the West Coast, all the way from Pendleton, Oregon, to San Diego, California. Joan Crawford has been made a reserve traffic officer in the Los Angeles police department, and has a cap, badge 'n' everything. Clara Bow gave an official send-off to a man who started a cross-country drive in an automobile, tightly handcuffed. She was also called upon to autograph the shoes of another, as he started a marathon from San Diego to Los Angeles. Possibly the most audacious request on record came from an ambitious underwear manufacturer recently, who wanted a widely-known star to pose in some of his products. He planned to spend a large sum in advertising, he said. "Let's see some of the garments," the studio director of publicity said. The first arrived in a letter-size envelope. The star took one look and tramped from the studio.
