Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1931)

Photoplay Magazine for July, 1931 "5 And so there's Jimmy Cagney today in Hollywood — rive feet, eight and a half, redhaired, Irish as a shamrock, talking Yiddish, sort of cynical about the whole business. He gives you the impression that whatever he does in and out of Hollywood, he's doing it with his tongue in his cheek. He's not thrilled by film fame coming suddenly as it has. "All a lotta luck," he says, half grinning, half sneering. He doesn't pal with the movie crowd. He has his own circle of friends — most of them connected with pictures, but not of that silkand-ermine clan that call themselves "the" people of the movies. He likes to go down to the beach on his days off — the beach where the common people go — not Malibu where the stars fence themselves in. JIMMY doesn't know how long he's going to ride the crest of popular fancy on the screen. He doesn't seem to care a great deal. "It's all a lotta so-and-so," he says, only he sometimes uses other words. His big ambition, he says, is to make enough money so he can get out of the limelight and take life easy, being just Jimmy Cagney — and drawing pictures. He has stuck to that. It's his hobby — making sketches of people and things. His other hobby is hoofing. He breaks into a tap dance at the slightest provocation. He is one of Hollywood's happy husbands; says he thinks domesticity is "swell." He likes to go to prize-fights, and he likes to read good books. He isn't getting one-tenth the salary most of the recognized stars are getting. But out of what salary he does get, Jimmy Cagney is still contributing his share to the support of the folks back home.

During her first trip abroad, she helped to design this outfit. They are created to the Swanson size and Swanson figure. Since that first day, she has been ordering them in every color, but from the one, original design. "One always looks right in tailored things. If I am shopping and must stop for a luncheon, I am properly dressed. If there is a tea in the afternoon, I am still properly dressed. If there is a business appointment— -don't you see how I save money? I have worn the same suit for years and yet no one knows the difference. Since it fits me, it is always in style. And I don't have to pay so much to have copies made as I would for new creations. " TT is the personal attention to a style which J-makes private-life dressing effective. As for the screen — it is a double, no a triple anxiety and a far more difficult art. "The creator for the drawing-room has material, color and lines at his disposal. "The creator for the screen has only lines. " When you see a dress on the screen, you see it for two minutes at most. Two long-shots, perhaps, and the rest in close-ups where only part of it shows. You may have the most exquisite and most expensive material, yet the effect is lost. Remember, there is action to counteract the dress. Only the lines of a gown catch the eye and those lines must be exaggerated if they are going to catch the eye. "Suppose you wear a new dinner gown in private life. You sit at the table for two hours. Every one at the table has a chance to study that part of the gown which shows (like a close 9L 01 c-nt ti i L'tihli and ZJ nexpe-itsive U/ay, to ELIMINATE SHINE FROM NECK and ARMS /vfter a Link Beauty Bath there is left on the skin an even, invisible "coating" of Linit which makes the usu* ally heavy whiteners unnecessary .This Linit is absolutely harmless ...and absorbs perspiration WITHOUT CLOGGING THE PORES !
