Pictures and the Picturegoer (Jan-Dec 1924)

54 Picture s and Pi chare pver JANUARY 1924 A NEW DISCOVERY Every Weil-Groomed Woman Needs Hair-Growth on the face is most disfiguring and makes even a pretty face ugly.. Likewise nothing is quite so objectionable as a growth of hair on the arms, under the arms, or visible through the fine cobweb mesh of thin silk stockings. I'ntil the discovery of Veet Cream, women have used scraping razor blades and evil-smelling, irritating chemicals to remove unwanted hair. A razor only stimulates hair growth just as trimming a hedge makes it grow faster and thicker. The burning Barium Sulphide used in chemical preparations causes red blotches, painful irritations, soreness and skin blemishes. The new Veet Cream does not contain any Barium Sulphide or other poisonous chemicals. Whereas razors and ordinary depifatories merely remove the hair above the skin surface, Veet melts the hair away beneath it. It has no offensive odour and is as easy to use as a face cream. You simply spread Veet on Just as it comes from the tube, wait a few minutes, rinse it off, and the hair is gone as if by magic. Satisfactory results guaranteed in every case or' money is returned. Veet may be obtained for 3/6 from all chemists, hairdressers and stores; also sent post paid in plain wrapper for 4/ (trial size by post for 6d. in stamps.)

Martha had just come back into movies seriously, and was at work on one when her light frock caught fire and she died of the burns. Her first prominent part was in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and more recent movies are Potash and Ferlmutter, released this month, The Silent Coward (Fox), and The Warriors of Virginia. She was only twenty-four and commenced her screen career in Max Linder comedies. I^ing Baggot is coming to England to A^ film Ivanhoc once again. It is probable that English capital will finance this picture. T*he hunchback of — no not Notre Dame but The Merry-go-round, George Hackathorne, is playing lead in The Turmoil, another Universal special. He appears as a dreamy lad with ideals, and this " Bibbs " is, he says, the most convincing character he has ever attempted. Claire MacDowell is his film mother, and Eleanor Boardman and Pauline Garon are also in the cast. LJuntly Gordon seems to be the favourite leading man of the moment in Los Angeles. Since his " Bluebeard " in Bluebeard's Eighth Wife, opposite Gloria Swanson, he has been very much sought after. Huntly powdered his hair to make himself look the part in this movie; then he went to Paramount again for My Man opposite Pola Negri. Almost everybody has read 'Gene Stratton Porter's story A Girl of the Limbcrlost, which is being filmed under her own supervision. The publishers of this authoress's works estimate that more than, a million volumes were sold last year. The heroine " Elnora " is played by Gloria Grey, a pretty blonde, seventeen-yearold girl, and James Leo Meehan, director of Michael O'Halloran is in charge here also. A ccording to the experts in such ■^^ matters, every precious stone has its own meaning, and pearls mean tears. But there are pearls and pearls. Mikaras, for instance, emphatically do not stand for tears. They denote delight on the part of the recipient, and excellent taste on the part of the donor. You can obtain a free catalogue of these pearls in various forms of jewellery from The Mikara Pearl Co., 6, Mikara House, 48, Piccadilly, London, W.l. Inhere is still a great demand for original scenarios, and any experienced film fan who has a really good idea for a film plot should send a P.C. to The Fleet Street School of Writing, 92, Fleet Street, London, E.C.4, for the Booklet, " A Chance for New Writers." This gives the particulars of a course of study in Scenario writing, and also of the £500 offer on the part of Graham Wilcox Productions, Ltd. for any one scenario accepted by them and written by a student of the school. Come confusion has arisen as to the *^ price of the PAMOL Preparations owing to a regrettable indistinctness in the printing of the figures in their December announcement. Will readers please note that PAMOL, a preparation for making infants' hair GROW naturally curly, costs 5/ post free, and that PAMOL shampoo powders are three for 1/3 post free. PAMOIL is the latest invention for waving the hair perfectly and permanently and may be safely tried without fear.
