i our ^AQfighbor Mrs. F. L. Fausch, International President of the Sinawik Club of Evansville. At the top, the skyline of the city, as seen from the Ohio River A woman may read every fashion magazine published, but nevertheless she will, to a friend who's just returned from Paris, say: "Tell me, exactly how high are they wearing skirts?" For, despite the faith anyone may have in the accounts of impersonal experts, there still is an additional measure of confidence in the word of mouth report of a friend — a neighbor— a fellow citizen of your town or state. It is this fact that has prompted this magazine to provide for its readers, all of them interested in Hollywood and its doings and the doers of those doings — reports upon the place and its people by someone they know — or at least know of — personally. The means of doing this is a series of articles by people from various states of the Union. The first month from West Virginia, the second from Pennsylvania — and so on. This month from Indiana. The series is entitled "Your Neighbor Says" — and it gives to you an interested but quite impartial glimpse of the cinema city by someone who's not concerned either in boosting or belittling it. And by someone, also, with your own local viewpoint, and so endowed with foreknowledge of the facts you'll especially want to know. If you're from Indiana, this month's article will be particularly pertinent. But if you're not, remember that sooner or later someone from your state will be the one to comment. So watch the series; get the real home-town low-down on Hollywood by reading — this month or another — what "Your Neighbor Says." — Editor's Note.

And turned thumbs-down on Peggy Joyce in the movies ? And censored so^ie of von Stroheim's artiest efforts? 64 Mrs. F. L. Fausch of Gives a Clubby By WALTER RAMSEY Sure it was. So she was more or less a spy behind the lines — even if she didn't look it. She had dark, sleek hair arranged somewhat the way Leatrice Joy wears hers. Twinkly sort of eyes, blue eyes, and an infectious smile. Even when we talked of Hollywood, her smile was still as infectious, so she couldn't have been a very censurable censor. Even back in Evansville, where she reigns as International President of the Sinawik Club, the women's Kiwanis, I don't believe she would be too harsh on us. Still, she was registered as Mrs. F. L. Fausch at the Hollywood Hotel, which is one of the most advantageous observation points in the heart of the enemy camp, so I asked her if she had come to Hollywood to see if it was as bad as it was painted. "We supposedly snoopy clubwomen do not spend nearly Camping out near Evansville is a genuine picnic, for the Kiwanis Club has built fourteen outdoor ovens like this one in Mesker Park
