I Owe a Lot to Will Rogers He is definitely our ace humorist. He must discuss funny things, and so editorially, or on the air. he turns to politics and we all laugh. If Will ever takes up the serious problems of our day, we are in for it. The laugh is definitely married to the tear, and Rogers could be the presiding parson any time he wants to. Meanwhile there he is. Well, here and there he is. Gulliver was a stationary washstand compared to Rogers and his travels. It's a cinch he is not running away from anything, and I should hate to see him settle down, unless it were in some spot where as a representative American he might prove how perfectly that description suits him. I'm so sorry we didn't enter the World Court, because I was all set to advise sending Rogers to sit in the international game of ''strip politics."' He would have taken their shirts, mentally. I have no idea of Will's age. If those laughing lines mean anything he's well past Half Way House, which means to me. looking backward and saying, "It's been swell so far." Then looking forward and saying, "Is that a hill ahead? Well, lead me to it!"' To see that crinkled buzzard playing polo out in California with the kids and cleaning up. I can't even believe that he is the same fellow I knew twenty-five years ago. Then suddenly onto the polo field gallops Rogers Junior and rides Papa off like no one's business, least of all mine. So I just have to say. "What the heck! I'm not trying to hide my own age, why should I try to conceal Will's?" Goodness knows he doesn't conceal anybody's or anything. Whatever his age may be it's certainly his age — this age. You know the greatest compliment we can pay anyone is to admit that he or she doesn't remind us of anyone. I'm not particularly bent on paying Will compliments — he's being paid enough of everything already — but you must admit that you can't say Rogers reminds me of George Whosit or Pete Whatnot who was so famous years ago. He couldn't have happened years ago. The years couldn't have taken it. to say nothing of the year bearers. The only thing he can remind you of is to be glad you are not a public character who deserves a razzing. You'd get it from Will. On the other hand, you might be reminded that if you are not a public character and are in need of a lift, you don't have to smoke the cigarette which guarantees same. Read Rogers! Listen to Rogers! See Rogers! But please, as a favor to me, don't write Rogers. So far he thinks I'm a nice our secret. If Garbo Wears a Hat {Continued from page 18) covered with them, literally, in "Shanghai Express."' Travis Banton. who designs all the costumes seen in Paramount pictures, executed her outfit to be in keeping with the character she portrayed . . . and was amazed when he discovered he had popularized feathers and boas once more. One of the best-known designers in motion pictures. Banton designs gowns, slippers, hats, et al, not with an eye to their setting new styles, but for the sole purpose of the stars' being atmospherically correct when they wear his creations in a picture. He received a shock the first time he ever saw one of his gowns reproduced in the mode of the day . . . and it is a never-ending source of astonishment to him to know that his fashions are constantly setting new trends in feminine attire. The flowing draperies of the new gowns, jeweled collars, sandals, negligees, feathered turbans . . . these fineries of the moment are directly traceable to the costuming of Claudette Colbert in "Cleopatra." Mae West set a new style — or should I say a revamp of the old? — in her wearing of the hour-glass costume in "'She Done Him Wrong." The effervescent Mae also brought curves back into popularity. Kay Francis' bare-back gown in "Jewel Robbery" established that vogue. since found modified in many ways . . . and the tunic dress Jean Harlow wore in "The Blonde Bombshell" has been widely copied by designers the country over. O EMEMBEP the silly little pill-box hat GarLo donned for "As You Desire Me"? It immediately created a demand for hats of this order. Shirley Temple and Baby Jane dresses have been on the market for some time, each a copy of a little dress seen on these starlets in one or another of their films. And. believe it or not, four of the dresses designed for "Little Women" are featured this season by a famous Paris gown shop, exact replicas of those old-fashioned styles. For the first time in history, the smart women's magazines are offering their readers elaborate layouts of new styles glimpsed on the screen. The influence of motion pictures on fashions may thus be clearly seen. Fashion experts throughout the East acknowledge this without hesitation, and even from far-off London assenting voices may be heard. Yictor Stiebel, whose styles now are the rage of the English capital, on a recent visit to Hollywood confided that his journey to the cinema center meant at least ten thousand dollars additional each month to him. More women than ever would patronize him. he said, when he announced that he had made a personal study of some of the best-dressed women on the screen. Conclusive evidence, this, of the truth of the above paragraph. And before we continue . . . Lily Dache, noted millinery creator of Paris and New York, while she, too, was spending several weeks in Hollywood studying the fashions of the studios, became so intrigued with the clothes worn by Miss Dietrich in "The Devil Is a Woman." latest picture of the German star, that she told Travis Banton she planned copying some of the hats that will be viewed in that film. High praise, again, for Hollywood and its fashions. \X7" HEXE YER a feminine star changes * her hair-dress, immediately thousands of inquiries pour into the studio, asking for news on this new style of coiffure. {Please turn to page 54) 1 jr i 1 Dr. Alban Girault, the French expert, says: "Almost unbelievable how well it works."

No ordinary food, even fruits and vegetables, supplies enough! HOSPITALS are now correcting even stubborn cases of constipation — simply by adding one food to the diet ! For some time it has been known that "protective substances" were needed in the diet for the stomach and bowels to work properly. When these "protective substances" are undersupplied — people become constipated. Ordinary foods — even fruits and green vegetables — do not supply enough of these substances. Richest Known Source But one food now supplies them in abundance ... is their richest source! This food is the new Fleischmann's Yeast. This new fresh yeast starts an increased flow of stomach juices — tones and strengthens nerves and muscles all through your stomach and intestinal tract. Then digestion improves. Bowels work better. The skin clears. Energy increases. You don't tire so easily. Begin to eat the new Fleischmann's Yeast regularly! Don't stop when you begin to feel better, but go on eating it! Follow the simple rules below. TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION In recent tests. Fleischmann's new Yeast Increased peptic activity up to 30 ^ ; speeded up stomach's "emptying time" 34^. ; increased gastric secretion and motility measurably. The most important substance in this new yeast resembles a digestive hormone. It also supplies four vitamins: Vitamin A, for the health of epithelial tissue. B for proper nerve functioning, G for growth, and D to aid in the assimilation of lime. Eat three or more cakes of this new Fleischmann's Yeast each day. Eat it just plain, or dissolved in a little water ... or in milk or fruit juices — or spread on a cracker. Eat it one-half hour before each meal. This gives it a chance to start your digestive juices flowing before other food enters your stomach. If you're taking cathartics, discontinue them gradually. As this new yeast strengthens your bowels, you can stop using laxatives entirely. You can get the new Fleischmann's Yeast at grocers, soda fountains and restaurants — in the foil-wrapped cake with the yellow label. THE NEW FLEISCHMANN'S YEAST is a food— not a medicine. It can give complete bowel regularity . . . help you to keep free from constipation and the many ailments it causes. Copyright. 1935. Standard Brands Inc. Constipation may be serious.
