Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1936)

without having to go looking the entire length of the floor and getting bumped on all sides. If you're danced out of your corner or 'headquarters,' just say to your next partner, 'Dance me back over that way, will you?' and he will. This is really an awfully good scheme; the stags will appreciate it and you're certain to be cut in on more frequently. "However, if it's a big dance and you don't know enough stags to assure you a successful evening, it's better not to stay in one place. "Another little trick that's a good way to increase cut-ins is to wear or carry something individual by which the stags who want to find you can spot you at a distance. I know a college girl who does an awful lot of promtrotting and does it darned successfully. She carries to every hop she attends a bright red chiffon handkerchief which trails from her left hand over her partner's back. On a crowded floor that girl can be seen for miles. Bright flowers in your hair or an unusual bow or something on the back of your dress can [effect the same thing. f'lTERE'S another point, too — if you want ^^to keep your stag line, don't sit out too many dances. When you want to rest sit on ihe sidelines somewhere and talk; you can 'still be seen there and the tempo of your rush .won't be lessened the way it will if you just disappear outside for three or four dances. "People have often asked me if I talk while I'm dancing. In pictures, no. But I must confess that when I'm just dancing for the :'un of it at a party I usually talk a blue streak. I always have. Somehow dancing and bright, PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE FOR MAY, 1936 charming conversation go together and I think the girl who can entertain a man, who can dazzle him with delightful patter while she's dancing with him, stands much more chance of attracting him than the girl who's just a good dancer alone. "Now and then, though," Ginger added, "you do run into a partner who takes his dancing seriously and doesn't like chit-chat, fust go ahead and dance your best with him and save your bright speeches for the stag who will appreciate them. " ¥ ASTL Y — and oh ! this is such a big point — ■^1 think it's terribly important at a dance for a girl to look like she's having a good time! If she's smiling and vivacious and wears an air of confidence about herself she's sure to attract partners all over someone who looks a little bored or scared or too sophisticated. There used to be a girl in my class at school who wasn't pretty nor was she such an expert dancer, but she always radiated such fun at our school parties, she always seemed to be having such a grand time, that the stag line just couldn't resist her. She got lots more cut-ins than the best-looking girls in the class just on the strength of her contagious manner. I think I first learned that lesson from watching her. And I don't think it can be emphasized too much. "It's really awfully simple. If you can just be on the dance floor what you are in your own living room — charming, and confident of yourself — well, whether it's a dance or a party or a picnic or a twosome, you're sure to slay the stags." 115 Equally happy in each other's company are Bernarr Macfadden, publisher oi PHOTOPLAY, and the captivating Shirley Temple when Mr. Macfadden visited the set at the 20th Century-Fox Studio on a recent trip to Hollywood have beautiful teeth (/} ( CLEANS TEETH Replace half way care of your teeth with a tooth paste that Odoes a Double job.
