80 Beauty Goes To War Dorothy Sebastian is the typical Southern beauty. that of the tall pines, the pounding sea, and the strange, irresistible beauty of Northern lights. Greta is the crotiquc, a woman of moods, turbulent emotions hidden under a cold mask. She is like a fresh wind blown out of the North. Thelma Todd's beauty is of the Grecian goddess type. Blond and statuesque, Miss Todd is the Diana, the Aphrodite, the Terpsichore of the Grecian myths. She might be the princess in a mythical kingdom, or the lady-in-waiting to the queen, a little lovelier than the queen herself. Pearls and ermine add to her blond charm. The piquant, illusive Jetta Goudal is a breath of old Versailles. Subtle as incense, or a whiff of lavender, delightful as a Watteau painting, she brings back the minuet to our modern jazz-jaded life. She brings to mind laceedged bouquets of moss roses, silhouettes in miniature, mellow tapestries, brocades, and powdered wigs. She is a pink lady, framed against the Iriaiions and lagoons of an empire that lived for loveliness. She should be a Madame Pompadour, with the grace of the century she represents. Renee Adoree— the gamin, child of the cabarets. A bewildering little apache girl of violent loves and stormy tempers. Tousled hair, silken legs. A type distinctly Parisian— beautiful in an amusing, impudent way. Jacqueline Logan is an evening girl. Gloria Swanson — a beauty purely theatrical ; the jeweled, gilded beauty of an actress. A lady of moods and whims. Aileen Pringle — the beauty of smart worldliness. A refined beauty capped with effervescent wit. Carmel Myers — the alluring beauty of exotic flowers and perfumes. The spell of the siren. Desire for things luxurious. Joan Crawford — the beauty of madcap youth; gay, carefree, alive. The beauty of things modernistic. Betty Compson — the beauty of wistfulness — a little of sadness mingled with smiles. Leatrice Joy — the beauty of happiness and one that goes with pretty things and feminine luxuries. Dorothy Sebastian — the typical Southern beauty. The warmth and dark color of old New Orleans women. Patsy Ruth Miller — the party girl, the debutante. Sparkling, winning, the hostess at teas and buffet suppers. Fresh, captivating, popular. Dorothy Mackaill — the old-fashioned charm of quaint New England. A plain beauty that goes with grandfather clocks, patchwork quilts, and four posters. The beauty of larkspur in a brick-walled garden. Jacqueline Logan — the evening girl. Best in the smart supper clubs. Chic but never extreme. A beauty that is best defined as costly. Mae Murray — the beauty that goes with things bizarre and strikingly novel. Exaggerated beauty ; the enchantress in a fairy tale, a lovely, unreal creature in a dream. Lupe Velez — a beauty that is like a skyrocket, dashing color through space. The beauty of brilliant butterflies, red shawls, birds of paradise. A beauty essentially of rich coloring. [Continued on page 115] The beauty of radiant happiness is reflected by Leatrice Joy.
