Modern Screen (Jan-Jun 1945)

"my Don Juan ^ Lipstick STAYS ON!" And what a thrift it is to say goodbye to dull, mousy-looking hair and see your own locks gleam with color and bright* »ess. Why I remember . . . . . . how drab-looking my own hair wa< before I heard about Nestle Colorinse from my beauty shop girl. She explained how Colorinse rinses richer, warmer, natural-looking color into the hair . . . fills it with sparkling highlights and gives it a beautiful, glamorous sheen. Colorinse is not an ordinary bleach nor % dye— it's easily removed with sham, pooing-yet it won't rub off, Men like nothing better than gleaming, color-bright hair, for it makes a girl look so radiant— so much lovelier.

Off the screen, the most gorgeous Hollywood eyefuls, to my way of thinking, are Greer Garson, Merle Oberon, Joan Crawford, Lena Home, Ilona Massey, Loretta Young, Gene Tierney and Virginia Bruce. Ranking right up with them would be Mary Howard, who played nothing but supporting parts in Hollywood. More arresting than any of them would be chic Connie Bennett, who always gives the impression that she just stepped from a bandbox. It is an interesting thing to me that Humphrey Bogart, in listing his selections, remembered Billy Dove and Vilma Banky; that Joe Cotten remembered Dolores Costello, and that Van Johnson surprisingly listed Gloria Swanson. Despite the frightful make-up and" lighting to which stars of an earlier era in Hollywood were subjected, great beauties distinguished the early Mack Sennett comedies and other films. Olive Thomas, Anita Stewart, Barbara Lamarr and Mary Pickford were standouts. Mabel Normand was unforgettable. Billy Dove, Dolores Costello and Vilma Banky would not have to. yield to any of the moderns. Styles in beauty have, of course, changed, just as styles in acting have improved. I'll never forget Theda Bara, an early heartbreaker, as she appeared in "Cleopatra." In a costume composed largely of beads, Miss Bara was a lush beauty, lush in the sense that she was quite hippy. In those days, women were unattractive if they were not lavishly upholstered. For instance, Lillian Russell today would make ALL sweater girls run to cover with her magnificent frontal displacement, but she was built in proportion. Just when streamlining came in, I don't know, but I have a hunch that it must have been just about the time that Marlene Dietrich draped her leg Carelessly (?) over a chair in "Blue Angel" and sang the song that forever after was to be associated with her husky, -sexy voice. Previously, legs had been ignored in polite conversation. True, the movie producers had crept up on the interesting subject by engaging shapely Annette Kellerman to splash for them, and grand opera had sneaked around the taboo by casting shapely girl singers as pages, but Dietrich brought legs to flower, Bud! The silk stocking manufacturers should kneel on their unshapely legs every night and say a prayer of appreciation for Dietrich. Just how Van Johnson remembered Gloria Swanson and Colleen Moore, I do not know. I thought he was too young to share those memories with us. In fact, Van's selections altogether are disconcerting. I thought he'd pick June Allyson, Gloria De Haven, June Havoc, Shirley Temple, Jacqueline Dalya, Joan Caulfield, Ginny Simms, Jayne Reynolds, Lauren Bacall and other slick chicks of the jive groove, but outside of Lana Turner, he was quite sober in his picks. Apparently Johnson likes them serious. Of the First Ten, selected by the heroes, it is interesting to note that not one of them is a new star. Hedy Lamarr, Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Dolores Del Rio, Loretta Young, Virginia Bruce, Danielle Darrieux and Olivia de Havilland are not of the current school of young femmes now coming to the screen. Six of them incidentally, are foreign born, and to underscore the idea, three of the six foreign-born actresses, Lamarr, Garbo and Bergman ran 1-2-3. Sweden, placing two out of the first three, proves that it can produce something extra-special in. addition to its Gunder Haggs. Most American-looking of the entire First Ten, of course, is Ingrid Bergman. Says Anita Ellis FAMOUS RADIO SINGER ON THE MUTUAL NETWORK Color, charm, glamour, that's my Don Juan Lipstick.
