Motion Picture Classic (Jul-Dec 1930)

J never have FLEAS' says i/T Pete Neither do L says FLASH "Nc or / says IIGHTNING" THESE famousscreen dogs are all protected from fleas with Pulvex. Their owners, and leading dog breeders the country over, have selected it after testing many brands because they have found Pulvex is the one flea powder that actually kills fleas instead of merely stupefying them. Pulvex Actually KILLS Fleas instead of stupefying them Pulvex alone contains what U. S. Bulletin No. 897 says is the only powder substance that actually kills fleas. When Pulvex is used, the fleas cannot revive to reinfest the dog. One application of Pulvex not only kills all fleas, lice, mites, ticks, but prevents reinfestation for two weeks afterwards. Pulvex is absolutely harmless, even if swallowed by theanimal. Odorless, stainless, nonirritating. Pleasant to use, certain in results. Keep fleas out of your home, away f rom your children, by Pulvex-ing your dog every two weeks. — ^ ^ Your dog deserves the BPuI same protection that famous dog stars enjoy — 1^ n.. ot.o.L-.jH yo" the peace of mind that H'l*^ and '''^H comes from using a flea ■„ Powd^^H powder on your dog that H '^B ^^'^"aily kills fleas.

William Cooper Nephews Depi B-126.I925 Clilton Ave. Chica«o, III. 98 The kind he likes: James Hall, dodging into a beauty shop, picks up a bottle of "Songe de Merna," named for friend Merna Kennedy The Boys Are Getting It {Continued from page 27) the film heroes rushing in for folding timepieces, and that Jack Warner's braided leather wrist-watch band, brought from X'ienna, forced him to impwrt a supply because everyone, from Grant Withers to Frank Fay, wanted one. And cr>-stal cuff links and small-linked rings. Soon we jemmes will have to start hooking them up the back and loaning our powder puffs. As it is. Max Factor has a tidy line of sun-tan and orchid powders that the men sneak in and purchase, and three kinds of pomades for unruly locks and bristling mustaches. He has bath salts, and ten wigmakers whose partial duty it is to make toupees, copying faithfully oldtime photographs of the ultimate wearers. He has honeysuckle cream (to keep the face from shining — hey hey! so they sayt, lilac toilette water and lemon, both favorites with the alleged stronger sex. He has mustache and eyebrow dye, a surprisingly good seller. And one lad, recently, wanted a compact of dark powder to carry at night. It seems that loose powder is messy, sifting all over one's dark formal suit, as it does, for hevvin's sake. And Where's my lipstick? I'll bet that big marine took it. Drawing the Color Line SAM GOLDWVX, producer, according to Tailor Eddie Schmidt, wears clothes as well as any star. And that includes Ronald Colman, Bill Powell, Clive Brook, William Haines, .A.dolphe Menjou, Douglas Fairbanks, Sam Hardy, George Fitzmaurice. Lew Ayres, V ictor Fleming, Charles Farrell, Sid Grauman, Joe Schenck, Claude AUister, Cedric Gibbons. "Menjou is quick in decisions," says 5khmidt, from behind a brusque mustache. "He knows just what he wants. So does Colman. No dallying or choosing long between colors. Colman 's always conservative. Just bought two brown suits, one pencil-striped and single-breasted; the other plain and double-breasted. He, William Powell and Clive Brook dress with discretion. They're genteel in their selection of colors. Wear clothes with ease, too. So does X'ictor Fleming, the director. "Lew Cody is having a top-coat of this," he continued, picking up a vivid green tweed, "and for Cedric Gibbons, M-G-M's art director, we're making a suit of this brown herringbone linen. He can wear the color well, being a brunette. We wouldn't, of course, think of putting a brown suit on a blue-eyed and light-haired man." Oh, mercy. We shudder at the thought. " But they can wear the new burgundy shade," hastily and helpfully added Jimmy, Mr. Schmidt's assistant. "And brunettes with dark eyes can wear browns, tans and light grays." Fashions and Fads BUT who's going to wear Rheingold blue and Canary Island yellow? That's what is fretting me. "Everyone," answered the SouchetShafer gentleman, allaying my fears. " Last year it was blue. This year it is yellow. They're buying it in underwear, hosiery, handkerchiefs, ties and pajamas. "Eddie Lowe, for instance, goes in for cashmere in suits. He just bought a poudre blue Shetland sweater, a double-breasted blue jacket, white English slacks, a blue muffler to tie in a French knot. But he goes in for yellow, too. "Gilbert Roland has a weakness for gloves. Every time he comes in, he buys another pair, pigskin, chamois, any kind. He likes extreme French models, and trousers that are high, with belts up almost under the arms. And scarves. . . blue, canary, red. He has dozens of them." And at Sidney's, Ltd., El Brendel refused a white linen hat, demanding flannel, on the grounds that the former was too effeminate. Gerly, the Parfumeur, anticipates the yearning of the males with a perfume for them, exclusively: "Celui Que J'Aime" — He Whom I Love. And Jimmy Hall's Merna Kennedy wanted to have her perfume blend named "James" in his honor, compromised by calling it "Songe de Merna," which he enjoys, nevertheless. One beauty accessory manufacturer decided to make a powder puff for men and ask Jack Dempsey to indorse it, but somehow, he never got around to doing it. Finger waves, hair bleaches, eyebrow and hair dyeing, permanents, scalp massages are frequent male habits, with Percy Marmont and Paul Nicholson regular clients of Jim, the sculptural barber who hews t)eauty out of hair, and whose following is largely women. Hand me some of that Star Plug!
