Easy To Reduce This New Way Explains Why Oxygen Melts Fat Away on Any Part of the Body So That You Can Reduce Just Where You Want To Reduce. Without Medicines, Diet or Exercise Scientists have now proved that the quick, safe way to get rid of fat is to get at it right through the skin. Whether you have a double chin, fat waist, big hips or fat legs or arms, the fat itself lies in flat layers right under the skin. Strenuous exercise melts fat away by bringing oxygen in contact with the fat through the blood and now science has produced an infiltrating oxygen cream, which carries double oxygen right to the fat itself by absorption through the skin. Like so many other discoveries that have been a blessing to humanity, Viaderma was discovered accidentally by colloidal chemists and physicians working in the laboratory to discover a cream that would keep the skin clean and healthy. They found out to their astonishment that when it was rubbed on a part of the face or body that was too fat, the fat seemed mysteriously to melt away. It took many weeks for them to account for this, and it was finally found out that Viaderma being colloidal is able to penetrate clear down to the fatty tissues, carrying fat-melting cxygen to them just as the blood does when we take strenuous exercise. Viaderma thus reduces in Nature's way, which is the only way approved by physicians who warn you against too strenuous dieting, too hot baths and most of all against dangerous internal remedies. When rubbed on any part that is too fat, this golden brown cream disappears at once, leaving a clean white foa.m on the surface. You will get results in from four to six treatments, although if the fat has been there a long time, it may take from 16 to 18 treatments to complete its removal. When this kind of fat begins to go, however, it melts away rapidly. REMARKABLE RESULTS REPORTED One woman writes, "You can't know what it means to me. I lost 29 pounds in six weeks." Another says, "Reduced my waist 3 inches and my hips 4 inches with only one jar of Viaderma. Now I can wear the slender silhouette gowns of the season." Another writes, "I was just about the right weight, but my arms were too fat. I used Viaderma only seven times and by actual measurement my upper arms were reduced 2 inches, and you can't imagine what a difference it makes in my looks."

The director was in too big a hurry to stop and allow Esther to apply new make-up, and the bit was ruthlessly eliminated. Esther spent the rest of the day adding tears to her already weirdly streaked countenance. MURDERING MONTE JACQUELINE LOGAN almost com«J mitted murder in her first appearance on a movie set, with Monte Blue as the innocent victim. Allan Dwan, the director, had plucked Miss Logan direct from the Ziegfeld Follies to sign a picture contract as a leading woman in Hollywood. Jacqueline was as nervous as a cat in her first scene, one which required her to hurl a small paper-weight at Blue's retreating figure. Anxious to do the scene properly and knowing nothing whatever of the picture technique of pulling throws, she let the paper-weight fly with the velocity of a three-inch shell. It caught Monte squarely in the back, and it required first-aid treatment for five minutes before he could draw a full breath again. To this day Monte still refers to Jacqueline as Christy Mathewson Logan. William Boyd's first day before the camera was featured by an entirely unpremeditated swan-dive that came as just as big a surprise to Bill as to everyone else. The picture was " Love Insurance," with Wallace Reid as the star. Boyd was supposed to rush furiously across the set, fling a closed door open, and dash on out. Bill dashed across the set and through the door all right. It was only when he was completely through the door that he realized that it opened on a sheer six-foot drop to the next stage. Bill vainly tried to walk on air for one frantic second, then his momentum carried him on to a far from graceful landing on the back of his neck. Even now, as soon as Boyd arrives for work on a new set, he very carefully inspects what is on the other side of every door in the walls. Many of our present-day stars were saved from visible blunders in their first day's camera work by being members of mobs so large that the embarrassment of any one individual would have been about as conspicuous as a grain of salt in the ocean. Florence Vidor made her screen debut as an extra in a big Colonial ball scene at the old Thomas Ince Studios. She was horribly nervous and the bulky weight of her Colonial costume made her still more awkward and self-conscious. SCARY GARY GARY COOPER'S first camera costume included a pair of green tights, a cap with a feather in it, a wig of long hair, and a bow and arrow. He was one of a group of two hundred in Douglas Fairbanks' "Robin Hood." Gary to this day thanks the gods that the mob was big enough to hide his embarrassment, because no selfrespecting young man fresh from Montana could be expected to appear in public in a set of green tights without blushing like a California sunset. Most of those "first day" checks fell rather short of being enough for a down payment on either a Rolls-Royce or a Beverly Hills estate. They ranged from three dollars to seven-fifty. Marian Nixon got five dollars for her first day's work in a Monty Banks comedy. Two dollars of it went to give Marian and a girlfriend the first square meal they had eaten in weeks, fifty-six cents more took the two of them to a picture show, and the remainder was held as a reserve fund for the future. Virginia Valli got three-twenty-five for appearing as a very youthful extra in "The Palace of the King," a Nell Craig starring picture made in the old Essanay Studios in Chicago. But Virginia lost a thirty-dollar brooch while at work on the set, so her balance for the day was a net deficit of twenty-six dollars and seventy-five cents. SUE WAS SORRY TO Sue Carol, however, must be given the unique credit of trying to refuse her first day's check for screen work. Sue happens to be the possessor of something like a million in her own right, and had embarked on that first day's work only for the thrill of it. It was as an extra in Fox's "Is Zat So?" When five o'clock came, an assistant director told Sue to report back with the rest of the mob for more work that evening. He got the shock of his young life when Sue sweetly, but regretfully, told him, "Oh, I'm sorry, but I simply can't! I have a social engagement this evening. Give my check to someone else." But Sue in her brief work that day had already shown every sign of being a real find, and the combined arguments of the director and his assistants finally persuaded her that her first day before the camera really should not be her last. 118
