DEW CRYSTALIN STANT PURE N ON DEODORANT PERSPIRANT Photoplay Magazine for March, 1930 After returning to the living room, Lupe gave a guitar selection, did a number on the piano, and turned "Piccolo Pete" on the phonograph, as loud as it could be played. "Nice and loud," she called, "just like an orchestra." "Yes, it's loud enough," said Gary, wincing. SHE played her own Victor recording of the theme song in " Lady of the Pavements." "You know," she explained, "I'd just had my tonsils out before I made that record." Well, tonsils or no tonsils, it's a good record. Her voice has developed amazingly since that time. Then she was a contralto; now she is becoming a really remarkable coloratura soprano. She is studying with the same teacher responsible for Bebe Daniels' vocal success. But there are few voices on the screen that can rival Lupe's for warmth and beauty of tone. Never before had I realized just how far this little tornado can go, if she can only keep interested in pictures. There's no one like her. Card tricks were next on the program. Lupe has some good ones, and she is as proud as Punch in trotting out her stunts. The famous solitaire game came next, played for five cents a card. I don't know yet exactly how it is played, but it seems that I came out $2.55 to the good. Nothing was said about paying it, and, after all, I didn't think it was my place to suggest it.

Don't you have to be at the studio early tomorrow morning, Gary?" "No," said Gary, making himself comfortable. "One fifteen?" screamed Lupe. "I thought it was about ten." It was darned nice of her to say that. I said I had a swell time, and I meant it. Lupe is a grand hostess. If you don't have a good time at her house it is your own fault. She, herself, is as free and natural as the air she breathes. She expects her guests to be the same. GARY and Lupe both accompanied me out into the patio. Gary must have had a twinge of conscience. "Come over to the studio and have lunch with me some day," he said. I bet Lupe will be there, too. You can't fool me twice. I'm $2.55 to the good. This has been my most successful date, financially.

Loretta has just turned nineteen and is in for a long career as a professional beauty, with luck. As for the superb Billie Dove, her beauty is classically perfect in all specifications and yet thoroughly and typically feminine. She is one star who always gets the perfect tribute of stares and exclamations when she enters a room. "Isn't she the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? " is the customary remark, and those who have enough strength after the apparition of such unusual beauty always nod "uh-huh." BILLIE DOVE is inclined to look upon her beauty as something of a handicap. For one thing, we run-of-the-mine humans are always inclined, stupidly enough, to couple such perfection with extreme dumbness. Ridiculous in many cases, and certainly in Dove's. Again, while she longs to play colorful heroines, her classic type has always condemned her to silks, satins and sequins. She longs for screen rags, and all she gets is riches. (Five minutes out while you shed a tear or two for the poor little rich girl. There! Feel better?) There are those who will quarrel with tagging Greta Garbo a beauty at all. If there are any in the house at present, will they please leave quietly and without disturbance? Point not to a tendency toward a bit too much width in the mouth, nor to any other hints at what might be flaws in a person of less fascination than to millions — the One and Only. We must now leave the realm of the eye for a minute and get sufficiently metaphysical to point out that there is a beauty that defies yard-sticks, measuring tapes and micrometers, and passes into the shadowy realm of the spirit. That's Garbo's beauty. It shines out of that white face — a certain intangible quality of the inner woman — and makes us fall back on all the old shop-worn adjectives such as "odd," "mysterious," "exotic" and "weird." We can deal fairly with such tangible facts as a pretty nose or a gorgeous pair of eyes. It's the indefinable qualities of the soul that stymie us — that tie up our vocal cords and make all the good old words seem pale and meaningless. Ic isn't Garbo's archicectural qualities that knock millions of us out of our seats these days — it's those vague qualities from behind the eyes that make her so enormously fascinating. If the human spirit has anything to do with Hollywood beauty, Garbo is certainly elected to the Big Four here nominated by the film colony. WELL, this, then, is Hollywood's slate. Will you accept Gloria's dictum as to Corinne Griffith's position, in solitary grandeur, on the pinnacle? How do you stand on Loretta Young as the representative of beauty's Younger Set? Just what is your attitude on the Dove? And the old eternal question — What about Garbo, just to give the soul a chance in the beauty sweepstakes? We submit that this is the strongest ticket we can run in the early spring of 1930. The party needs girls like these! And you needn't write in any letters denouncing us for forgetting your pets — and please omit bombs. We have been around long enough to know that when we tackle the subject of feminine beauty in the public prints, we are monkeying with the business end of a rattlesnake. Taking advantage of a few weeks' head start, by the time this appears in print we shall be chasing butterflies in the glamorous isles of the South Seas.
