Modern Screen (Dec 1935 - Nov 1936)

MODERN SCREEN Silent Young Man (Coiitiiiiicd from page 34) to the sincere, emotional youth sort of comes under the head of an understatement. He mooned around for weeks before he decided to try to get over it. He still phones her. There are those who say he has visited his ex-wife on the "So Red the Rose" set, but this Henry denies. At any rate, no woman has meant anything to the lad since Margaret, which puts him in the class of a "one-woman man," a rare specie in Hollywood — or in any town for that matter. Henry will do anything in the interest of his job. The day we saw him, the company was shooting the ice floe scenes for "Way Down East." Many a leading man would have demanded a double rather than take a certain ducking as he fled after Rochelle Hudson over huge cakes of ice. But our hero wrapped himself up in a mackinaw, boots and fur cap, on the hottest July day that ever bloomed, and did his stunt. Of course he touched bottom somewhere between the third and fourth cakes of ice, but he came up smiling and asked, "Will I have to do this again? It would just be like someone saying that my scarf wasn't on right the first time!" HENRY wants to get back to the New York stage. "Trite but true," says he, "there's nothing like audience reaction. There's nothing like building up to a big dramatic scene and being able to sustain the emotion. In pictures, when you're all het up someone shouts 'Cut' and you've got to deflate like a balloon and start all over again. "I'm not saying a thing against Hollywood, mind you. I like the place. I have an apartment now — share it with another fellow — and we have a cook. She's better than the house man we used to have. He sort of got us down. He'd worked for some big shot or other and I think he thought we were a little on the uncouth side. You know, not dressing for dinner and such like, I guess I'm not much on wardrobe, which annoys heck out of a valet." Henry flew to Omaha over week-ends during production. It worried the company, but his father was ill and he was going to be with him every minute he could steal from work. There's a loyalty Skeet shooting is one of Hollywood's favorite sports and here is one of its youngest devotees, George Breakston. He's currently appearing in "The Return of Peter Grimm." WHICH IS YOUR LUCKY NUMBER? DARK BRUNETTE r NATURAL You May Think It is No.1 When It Really is No. 3; Or No. 2 Rather than No. 4 The Wrong Shade of Face Powder Will Make You Look Years Older Than You Really Are! BY Are you using the right shade of face powder for you? That sounds like a rather needless question, doesn't it? For there is nothing a woman selects more confidently than her color of face powder. Yet, it is an actual fact, as artists and make-up experts will tell you, that many women use altogether the wrong shade of face powder. The shade they so fondly believe makes them look their youngest and most attractive does just the opposite and makes them look years older than they really are! Brunettes think that because they are brunettes they should use a dark shade. Blondes think they should use a light shade. Titians think they should use something else. Choose by Trying The fact is, you shouldn't choose a face powder shade according to your "type" or coloring, but according to which one is the most becoming for you. After all, a brunette may have a very fair skin while a blonde may have a dark or olive skin or any shade between. The only way to tell, therefore, is to try all five shades which, experts agree, accommodate all colorings. So fundamentally sound is this principle that I want you to prove it to yourself at my expense. I will therefore send you all five shades of my Lady Esther Face Powder free of charge and obligation. When you get the five shades, try all five on. Don't think that your choice must be confined to any one or two shades. As I say, try on all five. Maybe the very shade you think least suited to you is really your most becoming, your most flattering.
