Mat 204—=30c (Beauty ) Calling All Outdoor Girls To Sun-Kissed Loveliness ‘By ANNE BROWNTON If you're heading for the beach with your head ringing with so much advice about protecting your body beautiful from the ravages of sun, wind and salt water, that you don’t see how you are going to be able to enjoy yourself, why not take a few timely tips from Ann Sheridan? Ann, the beauteous redhead who has a featured role in “Cowboy from Brooklyn,” now showing at the Strand Theatre, is very much the outdoor girl off the screen. With the first hint of summer she makes tracks for the beach and when she gets there, she likes to plunge in for a swim, go belly-wopping on an aqua-plane, have a fast game of beach tennis, loll in the sun for a bit, then start all over again with a plunge into the sea. Which leaves very little time for worrying about what the elements are doing to her fair complexion. That's why Ann does her protective work at home before and after a day in the sun. And it’s all just as simple as one, two, three. On her bathroom shelf she keeps a large bottle of her favorite sun lotion, a thin, nongreasy preparation that does double duty as protector and powder base. Before she steps out of the house she applies the lotion to all parts of her body that will be exposed to the sun. Of course dry sun-streaked hair is a nightmare to any girl, but Miss Sheridan doesn’t worry about that either. She simply ties a becoming little bandana around her head and under her chin, changing to a thin rubber cap when she goes into the water. A thorough brushing every night removes any stray grains of sand, and helps to 8 a gg GS NG keep it manageable, and an oil shampoo once every two weeks is double insurance against dryness. Then there’s the matter of well-groomed hands. Ann knows that the sun and salt water are apt to result in brittle, splitting nails that simply won’t respond to a manicure—so she counteracts this effect by dunking her finger tips in warm olive oil every night. An outdoor girl by day, she usually turns. glamor girl by night. Here are a few of her pet tricks for capitalizing on that sun-kissed look by moonlight. She brushes her hair away from her face and tucks a white or yellow flower at her temple to accentuate her tan. To add a sparkle to her eyes she blends a pin-point of rouge at the outer corners of her eyes and smooths a tiny bit of olive oil over her upper lids. For an exotic touch, she sometimes uses chalk white nail polish to give an added fillip to her tanned hands. The new strapless evening frocks require a perfectly even tanning which is sometimes impossible, but Ann has solved that problem neatly with stage make-up. She keeps a_ tan grease-paint stick for just such emergencies, and if her decolletage reveals an inch or two of untanned skin, she simply blends the make-up on until she achieves an even tan. Remember this one, too, if your up-swept coiffure uncovers a patch of too white skin behind your ears. One more hint from the sunwise Ann. Once you've achieved the golden glow that seems most becoming to you, don’t let it get any darker. You can avoid this easily by doubling your applications of protective lotion. FAS SS A Gy ee SS (Opening Day) New Film ‘Cowboy From Brooklyn’ Is Strictly for Laughs Although it starts in a western locale, ‘“Cowboy from Brooklyn,” the Warner Bros. musical farce which opens today at the Strand Theatre with Pat O’Brien, Dick Powell and Priscilla Lane in the featured roles, is definitely not a western picture, for it takes nothing in the western scene seriously. It is a hilarious tale of the complications which ensue when a New York theatrical producer, played by O’Brien, comes to a Wyoming dude ranch and assumes that a trio of stranded eastern musicians who dress up in cowboy duds while they entertain the guests are authentic cowboys. Taking the leader of the trio, played by Dick Powell, back to New York and launching him on a highly successful radio career as a cowboy crooner, he discovers his cowboy is really a Brooklyn youth who has-never ridden a horse. When an enemy of Dick’s tries to expose him as a fake, Pat arranges to have the timid youth ride a bronco at a rodeo in Madison Square Garden, and, in a fantastic and delirious sequence of events, Pat manages to get his Flatbush cowboy to perform precisely as advertised. Music is. plentifully interspersed with the action. Some of the music consists of famous cowboy ballads, but the real melodic feature of the picture is the five new songs written for the production. (Current) Buck O'Brien Rides Again — Says Ouch! Pat O’Brien was the first and the last to try out Dick Powell's mechanical horse. The mechanical horse was a prop on a_e set. representing Powell’s New York apartment in “Cowboy from Brooklyn,” now at the Strand. Powell, portraying Wyoming Steve Gibson, is the idol of the nation as a crooning cowhand supposedly from the western state. Actually he is deathly afraid of horses and the closest he ever gets to a horse is the mechanical one. O’Brien was like a small boy the first time he saw the hobby horse. He had to try it out, and try it out he did. With Director Lloyd Bacon, Powell and other members of the cast and crew watching, he pressed a button and the hobby started the motions of a walk. In succession he pressed other buttons and the hobby trotted, loped and galloped. Then he pressed another button and, to the amazement of the onlookers, he left the saddle, sailed over the hobby’s head and crashed into a light settee. When the company returned from lunch there was a neat row of tacks, points upward, in the saddle. But it seemed an unnecessary precaution, because O’Brien and the others were through hobby riding. (Current) Hollywood's Best All-Around Sport Is Ann Sheridan Ann Sheridan is a very unusual person. She is a man’s woman but is equally popular with women. Which is admitted by all students of human nature and women themselves to be quite an achievement. She is capable of sitting up half the night playing red dog with her husband, Edward Norris, and his friends (usually coming out the heavy winner and still retaining her popularity )— and taking her crocheting to join a group of women in a gabfest the next day. If there were more women like Ann Sheridan there probably would be fewer bachelors. If Norris says, ‘Come on, Honey. Let’s hop in the plane and fly to Yosemite for some skiing,’ she is ready to go. That’s the way she spent her weekends during the filming of her new Warner Bros. feature, **Cowboy from Brooklyn,” which is now showing at the Strand Theatre. The fact that she dropped in to see the writer while this was being written and did a bit of kibitzing has nothing whatsoever to do with the tone of this. “It does read nice, doesn’t it?’’ she said. ‘But I think you're making a big fuss over nothing. The mere fact that I like to do the things my husband likes doesn't strike me as anything unusual. I think there would be a lot more happy marriages if women tried to be companions more than wives.” (Current) Love Johnny Davis Love His Trumpet Some day Johnnie Davis may pose for a picture in which he is not playing, waving or just holding a trumpet, but he is beginning to believe that this day will be many, many years hence, when he is too old and feeble to hold a trumpet in his hand. Johnnie ‘is currently appearing in ““Cowboy from Brooklyn.” Not, you understand, that Mr. Davis has any aversion to trumpets, for they've been very good to him, but he fears that this thing of photographing him with his trumpet all the time may be creating erroneous impressions in the public mind. After all, he argues, he does not sleep with his trumpet, it is not on the table when he eats (not every time, anyway), it is not always under his arm when he steps out at night, and it is never with him when he takes his shower. But how are his fans to know that, he wants to know—oh, yes, there is no doubt that he has a number of fans, for he gets quite a lot of fan letters. In the movies, he has won his spurs both as an actor and a singer, but he has not been able to discard the trumpet yet, and he wonders whether it will become as inseparably associated with him as Charlie McCarthy is with Edgar Bergen.
