Modern Screen (Dec 1934 - Nov 1935)

MODERN SCREEN bert Marshall, Bill Powell or any good actor." Since Joel began his screen career about seven years ago he has been almost continuously under term contract to one company or another. He has had the bitter experience of receiving a salary week after week, for months at a time, without ever setting foot before a camera. He has many times played roles for which he was not at all suited. And he refuses now to be bound by a term contract to any company, "I don't want to sign another contract because I feel if I'm free to select the roles I play I will progress faster," _ he explained. "Being under contract is just like being pensioned. You have to take a role whether you are fitted for it or not because you are being paid every week. I can make a living on the ranch. I don't have to make pictures. But I want to, of course. "Frances may sign a contract if she can have a clause in it giving her the right to turn down parts that she doesn't feel she should do. "So far we've been fortunate in working and being idle together, but neither of us would give up a good part just because the other wasn't working. We would give up a trip or a vacation, however, if a good role came up for either of us. Why not? It's business. A career is a great deal more important than having a good time." JOEL'S feet are firmly on the ground. Having money is nothing new to him. He has always had it but, being an independent determined sort of chap, he has always insisted upon earning his own way. He's Scotch, too, and decidedly the head of the family, which suits Frances just fine. She is the perfect^ wife, always seeming to agree with anything Joel says. Only once since their marriage have they held a different opinion on what, to them, was a serious matter. That time it concerned the question of whether or not the baby should take sun baths. Joel, being addicted to fresh air and the great outdoors, believes that no one can get too much sun. Frances, the cautious, young mother, thinks the direct glare of the sun is too strong for a baby and might injure her child's eyes. This slight difference of opinion which, in many instances, might have developed into a dandy family row, was settled amicably and in short order when Joel said, "Well, a baby is a woman's business and Frances knows best." So little Joel Dee, whom they call "Dee," does not take sun baths and when he is taken outdoors fully dressed, wears a fetching little pink sunbonnet. "Most young married people expect too much of love," Joel said in further explaining their happiness. "They think life after marriage is going to be just like it was before ; that they can go on having one long good time. They can have a good time, of course, but it's different. Marriage takes away your freedom and gives you responsibilities. Frances and I both wanted to have a baby right away. We want our family while we are young and we wanted to have responsibilities." They agree that the responsibilities are more than overbalanced by the compensations of having each other, and they think a little more responsibility — for instance, one more baby — will make everything just perfect. "But we have no plan for working out our lives," they insist. So, as Gertrude Stein might say, having no plan, no plan, no plan seems to be an excellent, excellent, excellent plan ! Every woman should make this 'Armhole Odor Test No matter how carefully you deodorize your underarm — if any dampness collects on the armhole of your dress, you will always have an unpleasant "armhole odor.' Test this by smelling your dress tonight EVERY sophisticated woman realizes that to be socially acceptable she must keep her underarm not only sweet but dry. Those who deodorize only — because it is easy and quick — soon find out to their sorrow that the easy way is not the sure way. The reason is simple. Creams and sticks are not made to stop perspiration. No matter how little you perspire — some moisture is bound to collect on the armhole of your dress. And the warmth of your body brings out a stale, unpleasant odor within a few minutes after you put your dress on! Once you realize that nothing, not even the most careful dry cleaning, will completely remove this musty smell, you will know why women who want to be sure never to offend use Liquid Odorono. SAFE . . . ask your physician Odorono was developed 23 years ago by a physician for his own use. Your physician will tell you it has no harmful effect. Women use millions of bottles yearly. It does not dry up or injure the pores of the underarm in any way. It simply draws the pores together and diverts the underarm perspiration to other parts of the body where it can evaporate quickly without becoming offensive and embarrassing. Examine your dress tonight If you are not a regular Odorono user, when you take off your dress tonight, smell the fabric at the armhole. You may be horrified when you realize that that is the way you smell to anyone who is close to you! It will help you to understand why women who try short cuts to daintiness always come back to Odorono. In the end, Odorono is easier. There's no fuss and bother with shields. Odorono ends guesswork and worryscientifically and safely. Odorono comes in two strengths. Regular Odorono (Ruby colored) requires only two applications a week. Instant Odorono (Colorless) is for especially sensitive skin or for hurried use — to be used daily or every other day. You will want to have both in the house — for night or morning use. Make Odorono a serious habit, and you will enjoy complete freedom from moisture, ruinous and humiliating stains and careless, untidy "armhole odor." On sale at all toilet goods counters. If you want to know the relief and confidence brought by Odorono, send for the two samples and leaflet on complete underarm dryness offered below. CAREFUL WOMEN avoid ail "armhole odor" in their dresses by gently closing the pores of the underarm with Liquid Odorono.
