but also as a picture. Her main concern in discussing tile contracts was that there should be doubt that she would play both the stage and the picture versions of “Joan of Lorraine.” She was in such great demand in the studios that she felt she could give only one season to Joan in the theater, and so she asked that the run be limited. At first, it was set at eight months, then, since she felt that was more time than she could afford to give, because she was the perfect Joan, and because she intended to play the picture as well as the play, the Playwrights’ Company agreed to a six-months’ contract. “Joan of Lorraine” has more pull at the box office than any other play I can remember. It is harder to get seats for it than for any other play the Playwrights have produced, or for any now running in New York. It could remain at the Alvin Theatre at least three years.

The gist of the matter seems to be: "Haggis is an over-sized sausage composed of a sheep’s heart and liver, with onions and suet, mixed with oatmeal and boiled in a sheep’s stomach. Scots __ have been known to walk miles for it, but other inhabitants of the British Isles claim it is unfit to eat.” Thought you might be interested so I am passing it along although perhaps the subject is less suited to Photoplay than, say, to "The Readers’ Digest.” (Ouch!) With best wishes for the New Year, I am Sincerely, There is only one Life-Bra— and it’s made by Formfit. Only Life can give you the firm, curvaceous upper Lifeline you dream about! Because no other bra is so cleverly tailored-to-fit ... no other bra has the scientifically designed quilted cushions that Lift, Mold, Correct, Hold — all at once. See the proof today, at any of the better stores and shops. P H 0 T 0 p L A Y 107
