Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

Modern Screen HOURS LONGER New Sanitary Napkin 3 to 5 Times More Absorbent NOW — go wherever you please, whenever you please, for as LONG as you please — with perfect poise and peace of mind! For now there is a brand-new type of sanitary napkin that lasts hours longer than any you've known before. One that affords you perfect and continuous protection, no matter what emergency may arise. This new creation is called Veldown. Its super-soft rayon cellulose filler possesses 3 to 5 times greater absorbency than the filler in ordinary "crepe-paper" and cotton pads. Every woman will quickly see the advantage of this. Too, Veldown has a unique moistureproofed back— invisible, imperceptible, without weight or bulk— to furnish a double safeguard. Thus rendering protective garments unnecessary at anv and all times. Vastly softer and more comfortable — Veldown can never chafe nor irritate. And because it is self-conforming it never betrays its presence beneath the filmiest, close-fitting frock . . . deodorant and instantly disposable, of course. Yet with all its superior advantages, Veldown costs you no more. You'll find it priced the same as the ordinary run of "sanitary pads." At all drug and department stores. Simply mention the . name "Veldown." Veldown The Utterly New-Type SANITARY NAPKIN 98 when she went out she was forever losing the money that she clutched in her hand or in her little black coin pocket book." And for no reason at all, according to these housekeepers Garbo insisted on saving all of her empty bottles. C HE kept them stored in one of her ^ wardrobe trunks upstairs. In another of her trunks were dozens of high heeled slippers in all kinds of material and every shade imaginable. Dainty shoes she had worn in pictures that did not feel as comfortable or go as well with her plain clothes as the flat heeled men's shoes she wore. p\ONT think that Garbo didn't have her romances, too, although she was clever enough to keep them well hidden from Hollywood," they smiled. "We never will forget the nights when a certain foreign director, who called often, forgot to turn out the lights of his automobile in his haste to get in to see his friend and left them streaming up the driveway across our windows keeping us awake most of the night." Jackie Cooper {Continued from page 45)' me to mention that he didn't miss once, I'm sure. After all, things like this are quite as important as winning second award for the best acting of the year, for instance. And certainly enough oiling and ah-ing was done when Jackie merited this. RECOGNIZING Jackie, everybody in the lobby immediately surrounded him admiringly. He was polite but his smile wasn't the joyous affair it is usually. The men he didn't seem to find half bad. They shook hands with him in a forthright fashion, told him how they always liked to see him on the screen, and he said thank-youvery-much, and that was that. But the women ! Especially the gushy ones ! "Hey, Mom," Jackie called after he'd shaken about two dozen hands "I'm goin' on up. All right?" Mrs. Cooper, who was talking to a representative of the press, didn't hear him. "Mom," he repeated, louder this time, "I'm goin' on up. All right?" The two detectives who guarded him day and night stood by. Mrs. Cooper nodded. "C'mon, boys," said Jackie. And the three of them made a dash for the elevator. To Jackie these detectives weren't any badge of importance. They were, rather, two pretty swell guys who had any number of exciting stories to tell you whenever you could manage to get off alone with them. On the home stretch, so to speak, his tour practically over, Jackie had begun to worry about his club. ' "I hope the fellers'll know I'm cornin'," he told his mother. "Maybe we'd better send them a wire, what do you think? So's they can get things ready. We gotta have a meetin' right off so's to make sure nobody broke any rules or anything." , PRESIDENT and treasurer of the club, Jackie naturally feels a great sense of responsibility about it. Always he's been a ring-leader. Long before his name was known nationally it was one that had to be reckoned with in his neighborhood. "Got a rival gang, Jackie?" one of the detectives asked. Jackie beamed. "Sure," he said, ! "There's one gang that hates us. We're ; always havin fights. One day ... gee that was good. Boy ! "You see all us fellers came outta ; the clubhouse, like this . . ." He showed us how they all strolled ; out in an innocent and extremely non| chalant manner. Jackie always acts ; what he is saying, merely throwing -in a few words here and there. It is obviously far easier for him to show you than to tell you. "When what do we see but the other kids lined up. Waitin' for us. With beebee guns !" He turned to me, probably feeling a member of my inferior sex hardly could be expected to estimate such weapons properly, and explained : "Beebee guns can Sting, they cart. Boy ! I got hit with one once. Made be black and blue. And yellow ! "Well, they aimed those beebee guns plunk at us. We beat it back in the clubhouse quick. I lined my gang in a row. "Anybody got any suggestions how we can lick that bunch?" I asked. "One kid suggested we climb up on our roof and chuck things down at them. " 'A very good idea.' I told him. "But then I got a better idea. We made one of our fellers go over and join the other gang. Pretend like he was mad at me, see. and wanted to join up with them. Then I got my '22 and we came out and I fired right at that kid that was makin' believe he'd deserted us. He grabbed his arm and started yellin'." The action Jackie now suited to his words was very graphic. He ran around the room holding his arm and groaning at the top of very adequate lungs. "He wasn't really hurt, you know. Mom," he told his mother quickly, with a broad, reassuring grin. "He was only puttin' on so's the others'd think I had real bullets . . . not just blanks. "And Gee, Boy !" Jackie fairly bent double with laugh
