Advertising Section 103 Are These Your Stars? Continued from page 52 most individual hits of the season in "The Trial of Mary Dugan" and "The Broadway Melody," both M.r G.-M. pictures. Norma Shearer and Anita Page have had no stage experience whatever, and with the exception of a few months on the road in vaudeville, Bessie Love has spent all her acting years behind a camera lens. Clara Bow is another player whose knowledge of acting has only come via the silver sheet. But in "The Wild Party" she proves that she can hold her own with the best of them. Her voice is exactly suited to her personality, a fact which should make her a bigger box-office attraction than ever. Corinne Griffith, William Haines, Janet Gaynor, Charles Farrell, Eleanor Boardman, Norma Talmadge, Billie Dove, and Charles Rogers are other screen favorites without benefit of stage training, who have no need to fear the Broadway invasion. Add to these such established stars as Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Ronald Colman, William Powell, Jean Hersholt, Richard Barthelmess, Evelyn Brent, Clive Brook, Conrad Nagel, and Baclanova, all of whom have had stage experience, and one finds that the competition between stage and screen isn't as ominous as the alarmists would have us believe. It is the favorites developed by the screen who will survive. What the Fans Think Continued from page 98 was not yet sufficiently famous for their company ? The truth is that Hollywood has shown its true colors. Well, those responsible for this outrage will suffer. In justice to Miss von Berne, we hope you will see fit to call for an explanation of something that has left a dark smudge on Hollywood's escutcheon. Pat O'Donovax. Michael Malachy Doyle. London, England. Audiences Go to Gary. Gary Cooper has greater possibilities as a dramatic player than any young actor in Hollywood. Why? Because he does not throw himself to his audience in large gestures, but makes his audience come to him. In music the tones we have to listen for are the most fascinating. In great pictures those whose outlines are not quite clear make us look more deeply and hold us more strongly. So with moving pictures, so with Gary Cooper. And more than this is his ability to show by a fleeting gesture, a twist of the mouth, a change around the eyes, the whole gamut of human emotions as plainly as by capital letters on the screen. And under all a magnetic personality shining through every characterization, a serene spirit that rings true. Continued on page 107 Not even the outdoor girl is free from fear of offending others at times. She now learns with relief of a new process which deodorizes this modern sanitary pad. NO woman is sure, when she learns the possibilities of this offense against daintiness, that she, herself, may not be guilty at certain times. But she is sure, today, that she need not be guilty. Kotex Laboratories have discovered (and patented ) a process which deodorizes perfectly. Each Kotex sanitary pad is now scientifically treated by this formula. The results, in peace of mind, are vitally important to women. The fear of being conspicuous Equally important is the fact that the new pad is shaped to fit. Corners are rounded and tapered to permit no evidence of sanitary protection when worn. All the clumsiness of old-fashioned methods is overcome. Nothing is like the softness and delicate protection of Cellucotton absorbent wadding. The identical material used by surgeons in 85 fo of the country's leading hospitals, it must be hygienically superior and comfort -giving to the utmost degree. Greater softness of texture; instant disposability— no laundry; and the fact that you can adjust the layers of filler— these things arc of great importance for comfort and good health. And the remarkable absorbency is still one of the important advantages of Kotex. Cellucotton absorbent wadding takes up 16 times its own weight in moisture — 5 times more than cotton itself.

Such Fleecy Softness can come only with this downy filler. The fleecy, delicate folds of Cellucotton absorbent wadding offer a type of softness that no substitutes can equal. Because of its downy white cotton-like structure and its correct absorbency, surgeons insist upou Cellucotton absorbent wadding. KOT6 X The New Sanitary Pad which Deodorizes
