Here's how the Glamor Girls get that way andβ€” what is more WHAT DO the stars do to keep beautiful? To keep thin? To put on a little weight? Betcha they're forever running to beauty parlors and masseuses, huh ? Do they diet, exercise, or both? Is So-and-so a real blonde? Is this true, that true, the other true? I've just returned from Hollywood. All my friends (and dear me, suz, it's marvelous how many friends I have all of a sudden) have been asking me questions, questions, questions. I told 'em all to go fly a kite β€” that I'd been out there to collect just as much stellar beauty information as I could for y-o-u, and if they wanted to know the answers, they could find them in Modern Screen. This is the basic beauty low-down on the stars : They're all pretty good-looking, of course. That is, they must have good figures, although they have figure faults, too, even as you and I. They have interesting, photographable, but not always beautiful, faces. But they have to keep after their good looks, watch and tend their figures, skin, hair, teeth, hands and general grooming much more assiduously than you and I. Some of their tricks, to keep in trim and to improve upon Nature, I am going to pass along to you. First place, I found out that there are more ways of keeping slim than you could shake a stick at. Of course, none of the stars are out-and-out fat, or they wouldn't be stars. Their problem is the lump-and-bump problem, the problem of excess flesh cropping up in the wrong places. Carole Lombard, now, has a little trouble keeping her streamline hips streamlined. Her answer to the problem is exercise β€” definite corrective exercises. Here is a good one: Sit on the floor, bracing yourself with your hands placed behind you. Your legs are to be kept absolutely straight. Roll from side to side. That's all there is to it. But do it for twenty minutes every morning, and watch those bumps disappear. Carole finds that she can eat pretty much what she pleases, within reason, and even indulge in a sociable cocktail without doing any damage, just as long as she watches "them hips" and does the exercises faithfully. She plays quite a bit of tennis, which keeps her fit generally, but will not reduce her a particle in the desired spots. Remember that, all of you ! Athletic sports in general will keep you trim and in good condition, but they'll not chase away localized fat. Alice Faye, who could be quite plump if she'd let herself, goes on a diet of fruit juices one day a week. She takes six ounces of fruit juice every two hours. Tomato juice, orange juice, grapefruit juice β€” or you could take grapefruit and pineapple juice mixed half and half, if you find the grapefruit too acid. This stunt, incidentally, gives the stomach a much-needed rest. It's a good idea for anybody except very thin people. Myrna Loy has a grand figure, and she has no trouble Do you think the sleek Alice Faye doesn't have her "figger" worries, even as you and you? Guess again, m'loves! 48 Myrna Loy has a grand figure to start with, and that helps, but she's not resting on her streamlines just the same.
