MAKE-UP! That's the thing all you folks who follow this department so avidly — all you folks who intend to make theatrical work your life's career or who are simply having the very tims of your lives with amateur theatricals— want to hear about.
This month I've captured Jack Dawn, the make-up expert at M-G-M. He has grease-painted everyone on that lot from Garbo to the humblest extra girl. And the boy knows his stuff. I'm sure you'll be thrilled by what he says. But before he starts let me remind you that there is still room for dramatic clubs. And if you want to start one, write to me in care of Modern Screen's Dramatic School, 149 Madison Avenue, New York, N. Y.

"First of all, as a person becomes older, the muscles in the face sag, resulting in lines. The eyes sink back in the sockets and the puffiness goes from under the lids, allowing them to droop over the eyes at the outer corners. The lines at the sides of the mouth become straight. Sagging muscles result in hollows under the cheek-bones. Eyebrows turn down at the corners and appear much thinner. The point of the nose appears to drop lower.
"Now the best advice I can give on age make-up is to tell you to study a member of your family or a friend who appears to be the character you wish to create. Compare their lines to your own, then visualize these lines on your own face. "A grease-paint foundation is the {Continued on page 87)
