Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1935)

Photoplay Magazine for February, il ut my likes! This is a chance of a lifetime! To begin with, I like my high cheekbones, ai I like one side of my face, and the area it tnd the eyes and the cheek bones. I'm gi eful that my ears don't stick out, although I have no lobes and fall, therefore, into the cninal class. I like my voice because it is U beautiful and therefore does not detract rn what I am saying. My legs are good, a 1 the exception of my knees, which knock, a my back is all right. Outside of that, I'm tciible. I'm a great disappointment to mysci as an individual and as an actor." rlissa Landi dislikes her mouth on the sc en. She likes her walk — the way she rryes. Off, she likes her ability to tell the ti[h under all circumstances, and she dislikes hi quick temper. Both, she said, get her in the same amount of trouble. And I like tl way she answered those questions — qfckly, and honestly, and straight from the slulder. une Knight likes her voice and the fact tlit on the screen she has more personality tin beauty. She dislikes the way she walks. S likes about herself her inability to say "n't." "I have overcome so much (she was opled for years and by sheer determination n de herself into a very fine dancer) that I h»e a feeling there is nothing I cannot do." Bt she dislikes her wholesale trust in people. Evelyn Venable said, "I can't stand various life idiosyncrasies I have that I never knew 0 until I saw myself on the screen. For hjtance, I never knew that I raise my eyebjws every time I smile. Ever since I first s,' myself do that in a picture, I have tried to cltrol it and now I am quite self-conscious ajmt it. FI didn't like the way I walked when I first s I myself. So I set about to develop an eirely new carriage. I use my pictures as i)1 examination papers, and I'm still far from g duation. ''What do I like about myself? I'll tell you vat I would like. I would like, some day, to g a chance to do Shakespeare on the screen. \ien I do, I'll tell you if I like myself." kittle Raquel Torres could think of only c: like — her loyalty to her friends. She dis 1 ;s her ability to be fooled in her judgment c people, and she dislikes (of all things!) her a::ent on the screen. \nd so I went back to report to my little 1 ;h school friend. I* I've found out something," I told her. ' 'he bigger you are on the screen, the more sf-critical you become. Because a million pple write letters of admiration to you does rt mean that you become serene with a feeli|; of perfection. The more seriously you t:e your screen career, the more attention Ji pay to your faults." \nd I told her the results of my investigate. 'Then you think it is all right for me to go 1i plastic surgeon and have my nose changed? " x said eagerly. "But Mother has forbid me I go," she added. 'Your mother," I said firmly and with great iginality, "knows best. All I wanted to l>ve to you is that famous people of the seen are human beings and not conceited licocks. Fame has not dulled their capaci s for self-analysis. So admire them for tat they are, and don't envy them for a self::isfaction they haven't got. A lot of them ve mothers who won't let them cut off their ses, either." And with that I went home to my mirror to |: what I wanted the plastic surgeon to irt on. 1935 <t 83 % of my mail says Wondersoft Kotex ends chafing entirely!" A MILLINER, who sits at her work all day, writes to tell me that Wondersoft Kotex has relieved her entirely of the chafing that used to make her "perfectly miserable." That's because Wondersoft Kotex is filmed in tender cotton at the sides, where the pad touches, but the surface is free to take up moisture. A housewife, on her feet from morning till night, says pads always used to rope and pull and twist but "Wondersoft seems to adjust itself perfectly to the body." Mary K. writes me: "The best thing about One Woman Tells Another Abouf This New Comfort Wondersoft is that the sides are always dry and next best I like those smooth, flat ends. One can wear any sort of dress and not feel a trace of self-consciousness." Yes, Mary K., this new Kotex gives greater security against soiled lingerie, too. Notice what some of the usets say about Wondersoft Kotex. Then, try it yourself and I am sure you will agree with them. Author of "Marjorie May's Twelfth Birthday" Free Booklets!
