A GOOD HABIT MADE EASY USE PERSTIKITS EASIER TO USE AND EASY TO KEEP IN YOUR PURSE Here's a new kind of deodorant — a welcome improvement. No need to spread it on or rub it in with the fingers. No need to dig into a jar. Use it before or after you are dressed — it cannot injure clothing. No waiting for it to dry, and you can use it right after shaving. This new deodorant is the size and shape of a lipstick — applied as easily as a lipstick. A few touches to the armpits and you are protected against odor for the day. Its name? Perstik. And because it is the size and shape of a lipstick, it is easy to keep in your purse for use during the day or evening. If you have ever — even for a single moment — suspected the presence of under-arm odor when away from your boudoir, you will appreciate having a Perstik with you in your purse at all times. Drug and department stores throughout the world feature Perstik at 50^.

But, in the end, Clark (with an eye on the Hays office) decides to make an honest woman of Jean, discovering that, after all. Miss Russell would hardly fit in with his rough-house design for living. Jay Garnett directed. Hugh O'ConFRISCO IVIGHTS neil had just • returned from UNIVERSAL a trip to New York when we caught him on the set and demanded to know all about it. ''Well . . ."he said seriously, "I was sort of disappointed all the way along. Y'know, I stopped off at all the towns I'd played, thinking perhaps I'd see a familiar face or something to remind me of all the good times we had in those road show days." He sighed forlornly. "It was pretty discouraging. Hotels had changed . . . the theaters were all stepped up . . . depots were bigger and better. But, one thing had stayed the same. The hash we got at the lunch counters! And boy! Did I eat a plateful! Hugh is playing a dumb detective in this L. G. Blochman story, and having a lot of fun doing it. That's if Director Murray Roth isn't looking, Hugh is having a lot of fun. And if Director Murray Roth is looking, then they both have a lot of fun! Anyhow, in the story, Lyle Talbot is a demoted government agent who is driving a Chinatown sight-seeing bus to keep the gas heater burning. Escorting his party through a chop suey joint he runs smack into a mysterious murder, and it's like the smell of the smoke of battle to a war horse! Sleuthing around, he discovers Valerie Hobson acting very strangely and wanting to get out of there. Well, that looks bad. But the dame's so beautiful, and . . . you know our Lyle? He just tucks her under his arm and makes the best of it. It's exciting enough, as mysteries go. Anyhow, there are secret panels, dark alleys, apertures opening to admit hands with revolvers, knives, etc., and finally, the real culprit dragged through a sliding panel right alongside the booth where the body was found. We won't tell you who done the dastardly deed. It'll be more fun if you go and see for yourself. And with O'Connell. Henry Armetta and Andy Devine in the case, there ought to be enough laughs to make it interesting. Our old friend Leslie Fenton is there, too, playing an Oriental. BUT swell! If you read GIRL FROM Hubert Henry TEXTH AVENUE Davies' novel, • '"Outcast," then WARXERS we won't have to tell you the plot of "The Girl from Tenth Avenue." Ian Hunter is the man, and gals, here's something you're going to learn to care for! Tall, handsome, with a charming British accent. And he can act. too. We watched him at a table in a French cafe, where Bette Davis had steered him after dragging him away from the scene of his fickle sweetheart's wedding. Ian is filling the champagne glasses. Bette says: "Say, mister . . . I'm beginning to feel this!" "You're lucky," he says bitterly. "I wish you could have the fun I BABIES BY THE HAVE THRIVED OJV GERBERS <zDtrcu4tecL \ \ SIX years ago Gerber began saving young mothers hours of daily tiresome work . . . began giving babies strained vegetables richer in vitamins and minerals, more scientifically prepared than home equipment permits.

"You've been swell . . . keeping me from going nuts all day," he looks at his watch. Bette covers the watch with her hand. "Please don't . . ." she begs. His eyes are heavy with bitterness. "The boat left the dock half an hour ago. . . ." "Let's dance," she is trying to get the man's mind off his tragedy. "What do you say?" Hunter looks blindly into space. "She . . . she's alone with him now." Impulsively Bette puts her arm around him. "You've been swell up to now," she says. "Don't go to pieces!" "Don't leave me!" he groans. "I can't be alone. . . ." "I'm sticking." Bette assures him. "I have my arm around you . . . right here in a public place." She puts her lips on his hair, gently. "You're just a poor little kid that wants to be petted. . . ." He moves his head on her shoulder. Le's get drunk. . . ." "Sure!" Bette agrees. And do they get drunk? My goodness, so much so that they wake up next morning married! And it works out nicely, too, until Ian's erstwhile fiancee gets tired of listening to her ancient hubby's bones creak and goes on the make for Ian again. But Bette stands by faithfully and you just know that even though her husband makes a fool of himself, well . . . what are wives for but to stick around until their men get sense? Al Green directs, capably as usual. SHE It KO If you go for the bizarre in pictures, then this is the one to check for future reference. H. Rider Haggard could have written it for no purpose other than pure entertainment, because we're telling you right now that it couldn't possibly have happened. And, if it did — we still don't believe it! Randy Scott and Nigel Bruce go off in search of an element of "eternal life." They believe this is a flame, so hot that, instead of destroying, it preserves, just as a million volts of electricity may be harmless, while a mere thousand volts will kill you. Furthermore, there is a family legend to the effect that, five hundred years before, another explorer (who looks so much like Randy that we suspect it might have been Randy!) had found in Muscovy a flame of eternal life! Crossing the unchartered Sugul Barrier, Randy, Bruce and Helen Mack find a perilously poised glacier and . . . will you believe it? . . . frozen in it are the members of Randy's ancestorial expedition! In attempting to cut through to get at it. Helen Mack's father causes a landslide that destroys the entire expedition, with the exception (and didn't you guess?) of Scott, Bruce and Helen! Rescued from a savage tribe by Gustav von Seyffertitz, they are led before the throne of "She" (Helen Gahagan) and. because she has had a big crush on Randy's ancestor, five hundred years before, she is just in the mood to carry on from where she left off, all those years ago ! Jealous of Helen Mack, "She" diabolically plans to use the poor girl as a living sacrifice at the yearly Ceremony of the Flame. Incidentally, the fire dance is one of the most colossal (really) spectacles we have seen in many a day. Wearing gold masks, a la Benda, the dancers execute a weird routine to the maddening beat of the tom-toms and, watching 60 The New Movie Magazine, July, 1935
