k DANDRUFF A Sure Way to End It There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely, and that is to dissolve it. Then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store, and a four ounce bottle is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.

Jeanette Loff, in an unofficial performance, sets a new world's record for the high jump for foreign women screen stars whose last names begin with L and end with FF Laugh That Off (Continued from page 42) reasons. The Mexican revolutions were among them. He went to school, got in scrapes, swiped oranges from California groves and escorted girls to dances just like Penrod and Sam. When he was in high school, he got a chance to play in some oneact skits for the Liberty Loan Drive and thus he got the idea of becoming an actor. "I went around to the studios and got small parts and bits, but at first I couldn't stand the movie work. I worked in the cheaper studios and I didn't like the people with whom I was associated. I wasn't used to being ordered around by assistant directors and I didn't intend to get used to it. So I quit. So far as I was concerned, the acting business was going to have to struggle along without me." For a time he turned his undivided attention to the selling of real estate. But real estate, like the movies, is full of promises. "One day I sold fourteen lots in Beverly Hills to a nice old man in a Rolls-Royce. For twenty-four hours I was a sensation in real estate circles. I practically had my commission all spent when bright and early the next morning a nurse walked into my office. " Did you sell any property to my patient?" she asked, and told me his name. "Well, he 's as crazy as a loon," she told me. "That check he gave you isn't worth the paper it is written on." You can imagine his embarrassment. Not the old man's. Donald's. There's an old saying from the Chinese, "Once an actor, always an actor," and after his plans for millions in real estate had dwindled away Donald came back to the movies. This time he landed work upon the better class of studio lots and it wasn't long before he was all fired with ambition again. The first thing of prominence he did was a lead with Alice Terry. "It was a terrible picture," said Donald, "and just by way of making things worse I developed an enormous boil on my left eye the second day of shooting. If I ever needed a sense of humor, I needed it then. Here was my big chance, playing with a fine director like King, opposite a popular player like Alice Terry, and I had to get a boil. They didnv have time to get another leading man, so I played the role with my right eye entirely. Whenever 1 forgot and turned my full face to the camera, they had to cut out the scene. It was along about that time that Donald got married. No, he doesn't care who knows it, in spite of the fact that he has been warned that ladies prefer actors unmarried. "I've got a beautiful wife and a beautiful little baby and I'm so proud of them I couldn't keep them a secret if I wanted to. And I don't. I think it is more or less the bunk — that idea that an actor is wrecked if he is happily married." He worked for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, also F. B. O. and Paramount. Then First National, realizing his romantic possibilities opposite such charmers as Billie Dove, Alice White, Corinne Griffith and Colleen Moore, put him under contract to their organization. His biggest thrill of last year, however, was when he nearly got the part with Mary Pickford in "My Best Girl" that made Buddy Rogers what he is today. " The competition had simmered down to just Buddy and myself and I was praying prayers in all foreign languages including the Scandinavian. All of a sudden, right in the middle of the contest, First National announced that I couldn't do the part because they had me up for one of their own productions, 'The Rose of Monterey.' I tried to reconcile myself with the philosophy that everything happens for the best and that the voice with the smile wins. The Pickford picture went into production with Buddy — and right here I want to say I think he was great in it. But that isn't what I was driving at: "Two days before ' The Rose of Monterey' was ready to start they told me they were going to use Gilbert Roland." Yes, he laughed that off, too. "But things are going better now," he confided. "After all, I got to work with Billie Dove and what more can any man ask than to look at Billie eight hours of the day?" 102
