"Oh, and by the way, did you know that Mabel Xormand was back from abroad? She arrived wearing a dia ; mond-studded ring on her third finger and refused to deny that she was married. "By the way," I broke in, "have you seen " "Louise Huff ?" Fanny finished the question for me. "Yes. and she is so darling on the stage as 'Mary the Third' that I'm afraid pictures have lost her for a long time. She plays a modem flapper, and the flapper's mother as she was twenty-five years ago. and the flapper's grandmother as she was fifty years ago. Sounds like a movie, doesn't it?" "You've been talking for at least an hour," I rebuked her after she had prattled on about Louise's loveliness for ages. "And you haven't once mentioned Mabel Ballin. I don't see how you could do it. Don't you like her any more?"' "Like her !" Fanny sputtered. "I adore her. But she is way out in California, and even though she has finished 'Vanity Fair' she never finds time to write to me. But she did send me the most interesting picture of her as Becky Sharp. You would never have believed that Mabel could look so hard and shrewd." "You forget that she is a good actress." "Never !" Fanny proclaimed. "Mabel can keep her face straight when her husband is kidding me unmercifully, and if that isn't the test of an actress I don't know what is. You look as though you were harboring a desire to argue about that with me, but really I must hurry along. Ann Forrest is making a picture up at the old Metro studio called 'Morals and Marriage.' and I want to rush up to see her. And I simply must get to the Silk Show. Hope Hampton has been elected queen of the affair, and they say that the frocks she wears are simply ravishing. So good-by. And if you happen to go up to the vaudeville do go behind the scenes and give Mildred Harris my love. She is leaving for California to make a picture right away, and I'd just love to go up to see her with you, but— — " Fanny's conversation was cut short by a sight of Glenn Hunter just outside, and she rushed away leaving her unfinished sentence hanging in mid-air. And I'd be willing to bet she didn't keep her engagements that afternoon. How the Shape of My Nose Delayed Success By EDITH NELSON I HAD tried so long to get into the movies. My Dramatic Course had been completed and I was read} to pursue my ambitions. But each director had turned me away because of the shape of my nose. Each told me I had beautiful eyes, mouth and hair and would photograph well — but my nose was a "pug" nose — and they were seeking beauty. Again and again I met the same fate. I began to analyze myself. I had personality and charm. I had friends. I was fairly well educated, and I had spent ten months studying Dra matic Art. In amateur theatri lp cals my work was commended, I and I just knew that I could succeed in motion pictures if only gh-en an opportunity. I began to wonder why I could not secure employment as hundreds of other girls were doing. FIXALLY. late one afternoon, after another "disappointment," I stopped to watch a studio photographer who was tak 1 ing some still pictures of Miss B , a well-known star. Extreme care was taken in arranging the desired poses. "Look up, and over there." said the photographer, pointing to an object at my risrht. "a pro file ." "Oh, yes, yes," said Miss B , instantly following the suggestion by assuming a pose in which she looked more charming than ever. I watched. I wondered, the camera clicked. As Miss B walked away, I carefully studied her features, her lips, her eyes, her nose . "She has the most beautiful nose I have ever seen.'' I said, half audibly. "Yes. but I remember," said Miss B 's Maid, who was standing near me, "when she had a 'pu<r nose, and she was onl\ an extra girl, but look at her now. How beautiful she is.': T X a flash my hopes soared. I pressed my Jnew-made acquaintance for further comment. Gradually the story was unfolde.T to me. Hiss B had had her nose reshaped — yes. actually corrected — actually made over, and how wonderful, how beautiful it was now. . This change perhaps had been the turning point in her career ! It must also he the way of my snccess '. '"How did she accomplish it." I asked feverishly of my friend. I was informed that M. Trilety. a face specialist of Bingbanitoii. Xew York, had accomplished this for Miss B in the privacy of her home ! ITHAXKED my informant and turned back to my home, determined that the means of overcoming the obstacle that had hindered my progress was now open for me. I was bubbling over with hope and joy. I lost no time in writing M. Trilety for information. I received full particulars. The treatment was so simple, the cost so reasonable, that I decided to purchase it at once. I did. I could hardly wait to begin treatment. At last it arrived. To make mv storv short — in five weeks my nose was corrected and I easily secured a regular position with a producing company. I am now climbing fast — and I am happy. ATTEXTIOX to your personal appearance is L nowadays essential if vou expect to succeed in life. You must "look your best" at al! times.
