the Goldwyns were dining, he knew she was a great actress. "Why," said Sam earnestly, "she had on more diamonds than I ever saw on any one woman at one time in my life." A Polly Good Time POLLY MORAN tells this one on herself. She went into a gown shop on Hollywood Boulevard the other day, and the sales girl greeted her with gushing cordiality. "My, that pink one would look swell on you, dearie, with your coloring," she gurgled, "you're looking simply grand this morning." Polly was annoyed. " I wish I could say the same for you," she said coolly. "You could," retorted the shop girl, "if you was such a good liar as I am." At which they both glared, then burst into laughter and Polly carried away the pink dress. The Swanson Expose AT a tea at Gloria Swanson's some time * ago everything was very comme ilfaut, to say nothing of swell. Butlers with marvelous chest expansion proffered edibles, and the guests were being just too refined. Into the midst of the company came Gloria's Pomeranian, bearing a pink silk garment of undoubted intimacy, which he laid confidingly at his mistress's feet! Alcoholic Treatments ""LJE writes his scenarios not by inspira■tl tion but by ginsperation," said someone at the next table at the Montmartre. Mr. Schenck Is Kind HERE is a story that is true even if it sounds like a fairy tale. A humble little dressmaker from the East settled in Hollywood. After working here for some months it occurred to her that she would like to visit a studio. So she sat down, in all simplicity and honesty, and wrote to Joseph Schenck. She told him she was a dressmaker who didn't have many pleasures, but the movies were her greatest delight. She told him that she thought it would be very nice if he would let her come to his studio and see them make a motion picture, and go through the wardrobe to look at the lovely clothes which, as a dressmaker, she was especially interested in. And she added that she couldn't come Mondays or Thursdays or Saturdays because she had steady work then, but any other day that suited him would be all right for her. And in a few days came back a letter personally signed "Joseph Schenck, " telling the little dressmaker he would love to have her come to see his studio and he was sending a car for her the next Wednesday. So in state in one of the handsome Schenck automobiles the little dressmaker went to the studio and was shown about for several magic-filled hours as if she were the mayor of a city or something else equally important, then the great car carried her back to her bungalow. "And I do think," said she in all innocence to Alice Williamson, the English novelist who had once known her back East, "that it was very kind of Mr. Schenck — a busy man like he must be — to do it, don't you?" Mrs. Williamson gasped, swallowed and then admitted that it had been indeed very kind of Joseph Schenck! More Powell to Him! •WHAT are you doing now, Bill?" asked a friend of William Powell. "Oh, I'm furnishing the comedy-relief for one of the Beery-Hatton comedies," said Bill airily. Bill will have his little jokes. Fowl play in the domestic arrangements of Milton Sills and Doris Kenyon, his wife. Mrs. Sills is pointing out to her husband that if his culinary theories are put into practice it will be impossible to cook his chicken and eat it, too EARLE LIEDERMAN— The Muscle Builder Author of "Muscle Building," "Science of Wrestling," "Secrets of Strength," "Here's Health," "Endurance," etc. Does She Love You Enough? Give a Thought to Your Physical Self If your wife or sweetheart acts cool and dissatisfied with you, give a thought to your physical self. A woman looks at more than a man's face. She's thinking of his ability to protect her; provide for her; of her pride in his ap-pearance in a bathing suit, on the athletic field, on the dance floor. When you hear a woman exclaim "Oh, what a handsome man!" she's not looking at his face alone. She's sized him up from top to toe. Those broad, shoulders, that graceful athletic stride, the well-shaped neck and head, those strong muscular arms, and legs. They thrill any woman. Every wife and every sweetheart wants her man to be like that. Are you? Well, you can be! I Build Strong, Handsome, Healthy Bodies People call me the Muscle-Builder.
