Advertising Section 111 If You're Letting Your Hair Grow Continued from page 95 you never can be sure that, at some crucial moment, the false hair won't fall off, too. "So the headband is the best expedient I've found. And it's becoming to nearly every type. But oh, I do love bobbed hair ! It's so comfortable and so little bother. I love to be able after a swim to get dressed without waiting for yards of hair to dry. I love it for horseback riding, dancing, and all the other sports. I decided, though, that I'm not the bobbed-hair type." Lillian Rich is relying upon hairpins and a high-powered hairdresser to carry her through the trying period. She has succeeded so well that the public and many of her friends do not know whether her hair is short or long. Most of her movie characterizations had been of flaxen-haired blondes for which she had worn wigs. But along came "Simon the Jester," in which Lillian had to be a sleek-haired circus queen. Hastily, she let her cropped tresses grow. "I began brushing it one hundred times each night and morning," she says. "That's wonderful treatment for the hair — makes it grow faster and helps it to stay in place. Now I have a very tidy knot at the back of my neck." Shannon Day also recommends brushing. "Keep it up!" she says. "All the time. It adds luster. First, use hair nets ; then curl it under. And you'll have weeks of wrestling with pins — you can't avoid it. When the hair gets below the point where it was bobbed, you can get a very nice effect by rolling it around the curling iron. And you may improve even on that by wearing a net which reaches just to the 'point of bob.' " Bebe Daniels finds that white camelias, worn at the side, tend to hide the effects of the struggle she is having with her growing locks. She has been appearing usually as a speedy, fast-stepping miss with tresses as short as her skirts. But for "Martinique," a quaint, oldfashioned story of hoop skirts and curls, she let her hair grow. Bebe isn't sure, though, that it's going to keep on growing. She is weary of pins and nets and curling irons, and she admits that, every time she passes a barber's pole, she wants to spend money. "You'd better call me up before you write this story," she said. "Because, by the time you begin hammering that battered old typewriter, I may be minus some of this mop — ■ and a few dollars. And then vou'll be 'in bad.' " Little Betty Bronson's hair is the envy of all the stars. It's so curly that she had no trouble with it at all when she let it grow after it had been cut for "Peter Pan." It's quite amenable at any length whatever. So if you're having a hard time with an abandoned bob, try Evelyn Brent's headbands, Lillian Rich's course of combings, Shannon Day's curl "below the point of bob," Bebe Daniels' trick of wearing flowers on the side, or else steal Betty Bronson's natural curls. How the Battle Scenes were Filmed for The Big Parade" 4 i Continued fr battlefield, and sometimes swooping low to drop death-dealing bombs. Rifles spitting fire, Big Berthas booming. And through it all, the steady advance of men and guns into what appeared to be the jaws of death. To make realistic the effect of bursting shells, professional powder men planted mines which, as they exploded, sent showers of dirt upon the soldiers. The big guns seen in action had been used on the German front in France. The four hundred trucks which hauled the human targets to the film trenches, had also done their part in the real war. Some were battle-scarred. Some had been pierced by bullets. Some had not been in om page 19 use since their motors were killed — "over there." The ambulances, too, were veterans of the war. The buildings raked by shell fire and blown up, as seen in the picture, were constructed on the Metro lot in Culver City, where materials were more readily available. There, too, the comedy scenes were made, and some of the shell-hole close-ups. Only the fearfully realistic battle was filmed in Texas. Of course, all the tricks of the trade were employed to safeguard the soldiers from injury during the mimic battle. The shells from the big guns were not murderous, and the mines were exploded when no man was over them, or near enough to be hurt. »#Tf If F0X TROTS (Many with vocal | ff iw2L!S choruses) I J JSl HMIWIM Sleepy Time Gal I flHL, FOR Then I'll Be Happy \ *msS ALL !6, IflHada Girl Like You Sieeet SVian Upll'em Girls (%oll You Own) Clap Hands, Here Comes Charley That Certain 'Party Head-in for Louisville Fire Foot Two Eyes of Blues — Don't Wait Too Long Peppy Charlestons I'm Gonna Charleston 'Back to Charleston I Wonder Where SMy 'Baby Is Tonight Dreamy Waltzes 'Dream 'Pal—Let Us Waltz cAs We Say Goodbye V®eals Show £Me The Way To Go Home I'm Sitting On Top of the World Here they are?
