I wish you could picture the becoming kind I have in mind — the sort that makes men turn to admire. I can't tell you what the color is, but it's full of those tiny dancing lights that somehow suggest auburn, yet which are really no more actual color than sunlight is. It's only when the head is moved that you catch the auburn suggestion— the fleeting glint of gold. You have no idea how much your bob can be improved with the "tiny tint" Golden Glint Shampoo will give it. If you want a bob like that I have in mind, buy a package and see for yourself.

Reading good books is the only way in which an actor may further his education and entertain a balanced view of life. Working at all hours, he has less time for contact with men and women engaged in other fields of endeavor than have persons who are not so confined to one profession. Comprehensive autobiographies of interesting men and women are always worth one's time. Studying actual lives and reactions to true circumstances add greatly to one's fund of knowledge, round out a viewpoint that easily becomes warped, enlarge a horizon that otherwise might suffer through limitations. Of fiction, stories dealing with character studies rather than plot machinations have usually arrested my attention, though a good mystery tale often relieves my tired mind. Romain Rolland's "Jean Christophe" always interests me. It is impossible to absorb this book at a single reading, for only with time can every detail be grasped. The plot in this instance is negligible, yet every bit of the life and soul struggle of this man who becomes the great musician Christophe is vitally enthralling, and understandable to the attentive reader. Rolland writes dexterously of thought shadings so difficult for the less skilled to delineate. Marie Prevost and Kenneth Harlan. Our tastes seem to run along parallel lines, so may we write together? We're crazy about fiction and read all the new novels. At first we argued over which of us should have each new book first, but now we compromise by reading together. My favorites— this is Ken — are Harold Bell Wright and Zane Grey. That — Marie, pen in hand — is because he knows Mr. Wright personally and played in the film of one of his books. Catty — from Ken — she likes him, too. Besides, the man knows how to write. Marie — again — I can't pick a choice, but when, once in a while, I tire of the modern authors I resort to Dickens. I have always had a boundless" enthusiasm for "A Tale of Two Cities" and ''Bleak House." Joe Bonomo. I study* physical-culture books, but for recreation I pick mystery stories like Conan Doyle's. Lemuel L. de Bra writes vividly of San Francisco's Chinatown, and in the Hcrcule Poiret stories Agatha Christie has evolved a new type of fiction detective, and her trick of pausing near the end of the story with the suggestion that the reader, before going further, try to guess the solution, has always intrigued me. Sax Rohmer, Edgar Allan Poe, Emile Gaboriau and Gaston Leroux come next. William Desmond. The wild he-man of the great movie open spaces does not always care for raw, red literature. I never read Westerns, for that would be like talking shop at home. Instead, I'll take Irish sentiment, next to Shakespear, the poems of Baudelaire in the original French, Robert Burns, Locke, Sabatini, Conrad, and Poe, Wilde, and Holmes. Theda Bara. My reading has covered a wide range, both as to subject matter and authors. French literature from Balzac to Anatole France holds my interest. I have studied the philosophy of Hegel and have found comfort and inspiration in the humor of Mark Twain, while the wit and satire of Rabelais never dull for me. And of course there is always Shakespeare. Poets I have enjoyed range from Keats and Swinburne to Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman. Among the later writers whose literary products have given me pleasure are Fannie Hurst, Willa Cather, Sherwood Anderson, Arnold Bennett, Margaret Kennedy, Havelock Ellis, Carl van Vechten, and Ronald Firbank. Some Frocks for the Wedding Continued from page 67 The cuirasslike tunic is of beaded, pastel-tinted chiffon. The most distinctive feature of the gown, however, are the ornaments of paradise sprays which appear at shoulder and side. In this production, Miss Dolores Cassinelli also wears several beautiful gowns, one of which is the one in the center of this group. It is also of the ever-popular beaded georgette, with full circular skirt. An immense rose, with pendant leaves and buds, is its principal ornament. The last figure in the group is the exquisite dinner gown worn by Miss Vilma Banky in "The Dark Angel." Like the others, it is of georgette, with wide flounces of silver lace. A noteworthy feature is the scarflike arrangement of silver lace depending from the shoulders.
