Advertising Section 111 and amuse yourself reading the outbursts of Queen Marie. "She really has done a great deal for Hollywood and the film colony, and all fans who wish composure and happiness for their friends should be duly grateful. Queen Marie has helped to rout the inferiority complex. You know, girls in pictures have cold chills and fright every time a publication asks for a gushing interview on love, matrimony, or bright thoughts of the day. They utter a lot of bromides, as who wouldn't? And then dread having their friends read them. But since Queen Marie has boldly discarded her reputation as a brilliant woman by the inanities she has been giving out, the film belles are quite encouraged and have decided they aren't so dumb after all. "I don't suppose you are interested"— there was a warning note in her voice — '"but I'm going out to see Pauline Starke's whippets race. There's sport for you !" But I doubt if even Pauline's whippets could have made better time than I did in following Fanny out. The Americanization of Anna 0 Nilsson Continued from page 19 remain entirely idle. She insisted on taking in one or two roomers and, when Anna came home, she had a hard time finding a place to occupy in her own domicile. Sharp of wit Anna is, and quick with an answer. She has been known to annihilate at times with a few good-humored and well-chosen words, and she plays no favorites. During a visit of the Swedish reporters on interviews bent, she threatened to throw one of them out bodily — she emphatically declared she was fully strong enough to do it, too. He had inferred in a story he had written about her that her marriages had been undertaken for publicity. He had returned a second time to obtain pictures of herself and her family. "My Swedish may be bad," says Anna, "but I knew it wasn't so bad that he could get away with quoting me to that effect !" There is no doubt that Anna has been fully transplanted. The world she lives in now is far removed from the one of her origin. She has departed from all her earlier traditions, and now lives a life that is quite definitely her own. But though she has been thoroughly Americanized, she retains a lingering devotion to her "hem" — I believe that is the word for home in Sweden. She plans to return there for a vacation every summer from now on, in order to maintain her family ties. Later on — well, perhaps it may be Italy or France. She and Alice Joyce have been planning dream castles for over there for years, and have studied the languages of both countries. If Anna is a Cinderella, there is comparatively little evidence of it now. Only the beginning of her career might be described as singularly fortuitous. The rest of her success has been gained very largely through her own steady and capable efforts. Itsthe Smartest Dress of the w Season" "I've never had so many compliments about any dress as I've had about this one. My friends all say it is the smartest dress of the season. They just can't believe I made it myself for only $9.65." ITetty dresses like this at just such savings are bringing joy to thousands of women, who have learned at home through the Woman's Institute to make smart, becoming clothes.

I Why Is Ronald Colman So Aloof? Continued from page 45 Colman can be seen reading at his own fireside. He has delved through such books as "Astarte" and "Ariel," for he has a great worship for Byron and Shelley. At present he is devouring "The Glorious Apollo," E. Barrington's biographic romance. There is no ostentation about Ronald Colman. Although he could occupy a palatial residence in Beverly Hills, and exhibit all the show that goes with that kind of dwelling, he doesn't. His home is a moderatesized place. But then, of course. Colman still retains the frugality of the Scotsman. Vilma Banky seems to have become Ronald's permanent leading lady. Besides "The Night of Love," he and she have made "The Dark Angel" and "The Winning of Barbara Worth" together. George Fitzmaurice. who directed the former production, and who is now directing their present vehicle, should be kept exclusively for the Banky-Colman team. He knows how to make what we want. As to what Colman himself wants, I believe he is not quite certain now, after all the trials and tribulations he has been through. He regards his film fame as something like an anticlimax. He took his youthful setbacks too seriously, and they left him sadly disillusioned. However, won't you fans clap your hands and let the poor fellow see that there are others who still believe in fairies, in spite of all reality? ?"1 WOMAN'S INSTITUTE Dept. 59-P, Scranton, Penna.
