Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1930)

Photoplay Magazine for June, 1930 *45 who stepped into her shoes in "What Men Want. " When you see her in that picture you will see a gorgeously beautiful woman. You will forget the little Cinderella heroine you knew in the old silent days. The battle for success, which she wouldn't go through again, but which she would not trade for anything, gave her character. Her love and understanding of life have given her beauty. The ugly duckling has become the lovely swan. No girl has had a harder struggle. No one has come through it more bravely. And she is without pose of any sort. She'll be the same tomorrow, whether you left her just last night or haven't seen her for five years. He Has the Girls Gasping [ CONTINTED FROM PAGE 65 ] I realize that all this sounds like Elinor Glyn in her most vibratory mood and I shed a tear for our good old pal, Cal York, who'll be laid up with writer's cramp from rumoring Walter's engagements. (No less than eight charming damosels have confided a secret crush and have offered me huge sums of money for an introduction.) But Walter is a bit too suave, a bit too sure of himself to let the world in on his affairs of the heart. And surely he'll never talk about them. But he is, without doubt, the most attractive man who has graced these wan shores in many a California sun. It is not snap judgment (at which, I must admit, I'm never any good, anyhow) that makes me go on like this. The first time I saw him was at the studio. He had been held up by a fencing lesson, and the studio commissary was crowded when we arrived. The only small table was occupied by a solitary and very grumpy looking gentleman. "I'm afraid we'll have to sit at this big table," I said. "Nonsense," said Pidgeon. "No such thing." He strode across the room to the man at the small table. What he said I don't know. I expected to see frowns and black looks cast in my direction. On the contrary, I watched Walter move the man — coffee cup, sandwich and all — to the big table while we took the small one. And the man smiled and bowed and seemed pleased that he had been allowed the privilege of moving. A FEW evenings later we dined at Pidgeon's home. There were six of us (Walter seldom entertains a larger group) . He opened the door himself. "I haven't a butler," he said, "but I rather like doing the job myself." The drawing room to which we were admitted is charming, with no hint of bizarre Hollywood in its dull drapes, its soft, rich rug and the excellent collection of books that line the walls. At dinner (a perfect meal, sturdy and a bit English, for Walter was born in Canada) he managed the roast and the conversation with equal grace and facility. Coffee and cigarettes were served in the living room. And'very good talk, not brilliant, not highflown but just nice and comfortable. The whole evening was touched, magically, by charm. There was music later. Walter at the piano thumbing through various scores and singing whatever bits were called for. Wagner's "Dreams," Brahms' "Sapphic Ode," Schumann, Shubert, "Duna" and a Negro spiritual or two. He insisted that we were leaving much too early when he took us to our cars.

If she wants her hands to be as smart as her frock, her hat or her coiffure, she has no recourse but to use liquid enamel on her nails. "The use of liquid polish has several definite advantages. In the first place, it is quick, more lasting, supplies a much higher polish to the nails and gives them a delightful color." What woman need neglect her hands — now? With the new liquid polish, so easily applied, even the busiest women can have nails always lovely. One manicure a week, when you use liquid polish, will keep your nails radiant — with only three minutes' care each day. Just enough time to mould the cuticle and cleanse the nail tips. ~Xhe Alaniawe Method Hlfomen with fair, mild) ate using The new CutexLiquid Polish or Polish Remover 355!.
