Modern Screen (Dec 1935 - Nov 1936)

MODERN SCREEN STOP A COLD THE FIRST DAY! Drive It Out of Your System! Ac OLD once rooted is a cold of danger! . Trust to no makeshift method. A cold, being an internal infection, calls for internal treatment. A cold also calls for aCOLD treatment and not a preparation good for a number of other things as well. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine is definite treatment for a cold. It is expressly a cold treatment in tablet form. It is internal in effect and it does four important things. Four Effects First, it opens the bowels. Second, it checks the infection in the system. Third, it relieves the headache and fever. Fourth, it tones the system and helps fortify against further attack. Grove's Bromo Quinine is distinguished for this fourfold effect and it is what you want for the prompt relief of a cold. All drug stores sell ' Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine. "When you ask for it, don't let anyone r, jw switch you to something * Sil else, for reason! The 1*5^ 1^ '^os' is small, but the stake is large ! A Co I d is an Internal Infection and Requires Internal Treatment If You Would Have a Figure Like Crawford (Conliiiiicd from page 43) the studio takes them in hand, remodels them, fixes up what's wrong with them — • and the studio pays the bills. And that's a darn good way to make a selfish, lazy sissy out of a girl. But when you have to struggle and skimp and sacrifice to get the things you want, you can throw your shoulders back and say, "I am somebody." And not only that, you won't forget so easily and so quickly that you were once an ugly duckling, as the movie stars love to forget. Gosh! Some of those stars' memories are as short as their leading man's close-ups. We seldom appreciate what's given to us. AND now back to this month's movie ■ star double, Joan Personette. You have a beautiful forehead, high and broad. And the structure of your face is very nice. It is the kind of face that has camera possibilities. Remember, it was the possibilities that the studio saw in Joan Crawford. Your hair is nice and you show good taste in the way you arrange it. You're smart to keep it simple. And now I want you to gain health and vigor. Notice some of the things Joan Crawford does. She has a swimming pool but she isn't an ardent swimmer. She takes long sun baths, and there's nothing better for you than that, but she's wise enough to know that swimming develops ugly shoulder, arm and thigh muscles. Joan can't afford to develop her shoulder muscles. As it is she has very wide shoulders. Do you know that gal is a size sixteen through the shoulders and a size twelve in the waist? And she gives the appearance of being a small fourteen ! Also Joan Crawford dances. But she dances in the right way. That's why her legs remain good looking. She doesn't go in for the muscle building buck and wing, tap stuff. She does more soft shoe work and graceful bends. Turn on your radio or phonograph to some snappy music that's got exactly the right beat and tempo. All the old tunes are swell. Like "Turkey in the Straw" or "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain." Believe me, that tune will get the moon over the mountain. That's what Kate Smith has been trying to do for years. I'm sure if that moon of hers were in the first quarter it would be lots easier. There's an old saying that when you see the moon in the first quarter any wish you make will come true. But don't just wish and let it go at that. Wish and work is the way — and let's have a lot more working than wishing. Because right now I'm going to tell you how to lose fifteen pounds' in one month. Get up early. Never sleep more than eight hours. Every morning or evening get those tunes going and dance around the room a dozen times. Put some pep in the dance. Take this limbering-up exercise. Stand with feet slightly apart, arms straight above your head. Stretch and reach as high as you can. Now swing the body from side to side. Keep knees stiff and do not move the feet. Always keep arms above head. Then swing the body from the waistline in a circle, not moving the lower part of the body. Do this ten times in one direction and then reverse. Take a brisk walk whenever you can. Don't, don't sit down after meals. Get up and move around. Don't take hot baths. A tepid shower is best. Use a body brush and dry with a real heavy Turkish towel. THEN take your special exercises for the fat spots. (How are you gals getting along with those hip and thigh exercises I've already given you? Is the soreness gone yet? No. Well never mind, keep it up. It's good for you.) But for heaven's sake use your common sense. Don't write me for a million exercises at once. Stick to one job at a time. If you're fatter in the hips than any place else work on them until they begin to go down before you start on the abdomen exercises. And now for the diet. Some women, you know the type, the whiny ones— complain that it's monotonous. I'd like to give them a good shaking — and it would do them good, too, believe me. I give you plenty of choice — and how can anything be monotonous when your mirror tells you that you're getting slimmer and more beautiful every day. Stop complaining! Breakfast Small glass grapefruit or orange juice Slice melba toast or thin wholewheat toast or rye wafer with a little honey, but no butter Cup black coffee (no sugar) Luncheon Glass tomato juice or grapefruit juice Large bowl of clear vegetable soup or consomme (no crackers) or (that's "or" not "and") green salad or cole slaw In the middle of the afternoon tomato juice or orange juice or an apple. Dinner Fruit cup or melon (not watermelon) with lemon juice and no salt Salad of lettuce and tomato or endive and watercress (Dressing of very little oil and lemon) Choice of the following: Small broiled rare steak One double lamb chop One slice onefourth inch thick roast beef Two slices of broiled or roasted turkey Chicken breast and wing Two slices of broiled lamb Small portion of broiled ground round steak (without fat I (No thick gravies or sauces with any meat) Two vegetables (Peas, carrots, broccoli, greens, etc.) Small baked potato prepared like this : When potato is done scoop out the inside leaving about one-fourth inch still on the skin. Put this skin back in the oven until it is crisp and brown. Eat this instead of bread For dessert have fruit gelatin or baked apple without sugar or stewed fruit without sugar Use very little salt. And take no liquor at all ! This diet, combined with the exercises will take off fifteen pounds in one month. It's worth working for ! It's worth fighting for ! Remember, too, that I am always eager to help you with any beauty, weight and general health problem that you may care to ask me about. Just send a self-addressed, stamped envelope for a reply.
