Edge of Darkness (Warner Bros.) (1943)

CHANGE OF MAKE-UP DURING DAY KEY TO FRESH WORK A change of face during the day will serve as an injection of energy to the busy woman. Maybe tied-up nerves have been the cause of untidy hair, what with misdirected fingers tugging and pulling at it, or of lipstickless lips suffering from an hyasrit ais’s erd. chewing: seige. Perhaps the work that’s being done is itself the cause of the dishevelment. But whatever the cause, a change of make-up, a recombing of the hair and a brushing of the clothes will do much _ to give one a new, if comparatively temporary, lease on energy. Nancy Coleman, lovely Warner Bros. player in “Edge Of Darkness,” now at the Strand, avers that concentration on applying a new make-up during the day is enough to take one’s mind off all else, and is therefore a most relaxing antidote to “nerves.” “Besides,” adds Nancy, “the sparkle and neatness of a fresh make-up is like trying on a new dress—your spirits are bound to soar.” And by applying a new makeup, one not only starts from scratch, but tears down what went on the face before. Never put on new make-up over old. There is nothing more harmful to the skir. A mild soap and water is still the best cleansing agent. If the skin is dry, however, follow with an application of coid cream, gently patted into the skin, then removed with cleansing tissue. Foundation cream, lightly and smoothly spread, is the next in procedure, with a follow-up of whatever eyeshadow, rouge and lipstick is correct for you, then a light powdering and brushing off of the excess particles. Take a look at your -finished product. Go back to work on lighter feet, with a less ruffled state of mind and ready to tackle new jobs.

Shoe rationing, with its three pairs per year for each person, is responsible for a sudden and definite trend toward the importance of buying shoes that not only will wear long and well, but will retain their style. This fact will undoubtedy have an influence on the type of buying a woman will henceforth indulge in. But just as important as buying clothes of long life and simple style is that of taking thoughtful care of them to make them last even longer. Ann Sheridan, who is currently co-starring with Errol Flynn at the Strand Theatre in Warner Bros.’ “Edge of Darkness” perhaps quite naturally comes by her creed for insuring the life and looks of her clothes. Believing in outdoor and fresh air activities as the best perpetuators of health and beauty, she applies the same regimen to the care of her clothes. Frequent airings out-of-doors — if in the sun, they are turned inside out—and never wearing the same outfit twice in succession are two of the heips that prolong the life and beauty of her clothes. Cleanliness, according to Ann, is the greatest safeguard to the life of clothes. But the importance of brisk brushings in between cleanings can’t be overlooked by women, is the way they are hung in a closet. Ann conscientiously avoids hanging clothes in a _ crowded closet. There should be at least a small space between outfits to allow them air. Make That Two blouses that act as a Spring tonic for that war-time wardrobe are modele d by Ann Sheridan and Nancy Coleman, both in Warners’ ‘Edge Of Darkness’, the Strand Theatre's current attraction. Left: Glamorous Ann Sheridan shows to great advantage this stunning shirtwaist of printed silk. The floral motif in two shades of blue on a white background is used in an interesting sleeve treatment. Full sleeves fasten at the deep cuff with buttons of self fabric. Right: Talented young Nancy Coleman chooses a “Gibson Girl” blouse of eyeletted white pique. The charming treatment on the ruffled neckline is repeated on the cuffs of the very full sleeves. Narrow Navy blue velvet ribbon is used as trim. Because of the new upswing of skirts and jackets, women are turning their attention to the proper selection of shirtwaists and blouses, that definitely “make” an outfit. High up on the lists of attractive accessories is the silkprint blouse. It is so adaptable that it has a definite place in every wardrobe. Ann Sheridan, glamorous Warner Bros. player, evrrently starring in “Edge Of Darkness” at the Strand Theatre, has several of these indispensables in various color combinations. They feature the soft, full sleeve, nipped in at the wrist. One in particular is a soft, shirtwaist in a beautifully patterned tie-silk. Another, in a poppy print, features the flattering-to-the-face bow at the Art and Type of Illustration —45c—from Warner Bros. chin. The classical shirtwaist, of course, still holds good as it has for so many years. But Spring 1943 sees, in some cases, a definite feminine fillip added. Softness may be achieved through front hand-tucking, and _ the feminine touch may be felt through the use of three heartshaped diamond studs down the front. Other softening effects may be achieved by the use of tailored bows, shirring at the shoulder line, or tiny peter-pan collar, fastening with a luminous pearl button. A modified Gibson Girl style is the blouse favored by Nancy Coleman, currently featured in Warner Bros.’ “Edge Of Darkness.” In crisp white eyelet embroidered pique, it has very full Above Available on Mat.

Systematic A pproach Necessary In Preparation of Lunch Box Meals If you are a wife, sister or mother of someone who works in a defense plant you are playing a vital part in your country’s war effort. Your job is the tremendously important one of packing wholesome and _ nutritious food that will keep him, or her, in vigorous health. Ill health or a tired, run-down feeling may mean loss of valuable time, which is an all-important factor in winning this war. Therefore, a systematic approach to the preparation of lunch box meals will save time and energy, and insure a meal that is not only nutritious but attractive and appetizing. Ann Sheridan, recently starring at the Strand Theatre in Warner’s “Edge Of Darkness” is a hard worker and frequently resorts to the lunch box to supply the energy required for a difficult day on the set. Ann, who has given much time to the planning and preparation of healthful menus, offers some suggestions for lunchbox meals that she has tried and found excellent. First factor in the planning of the lunch is the care of the kit itself. Whether it be made of metal or the new plastic now 18 on the market, it should be thoroughly cleaned and aired each day. The same applies to the thermos bottle, which, incidentally, should not be exposed to extremes of hot and eold liquids as the inside lining may crack. Since the lunch box ealls for as much as one third of the day’s food supply, it is wise to set aside a corner of the kitchen for the preparation of such meals. This will speed up the process, and help to make certain that nothing is left undone to insure a satisfactory meal. In this corner, have on hand waxed paper, paper napkins and covered containers. It is also wise to have cans of fish, cheese, peanut butter, salad dressings, etc. for making of sandwich spreads, which can be prepared cheaply at home. : Because’ sandwiches are a large part of any lunch box meal, they should be planned with great care. The bread used should be highly nutritious, and may be cracked wheat, rye, or enriched white bread. Fillings should add variety and zip to the worker’s lunch. Here are a few suggestions for fillings: 1—Left-over cold meats, to which may be added chopped, cooked vegetables, lettuce, celery or other greens. 2—Fish, such as sardines, salmon, or cooked fresh fish. 3—Eges, cooked and chopped, or devilled and moistened with mayonnaise or salad dressing. 4—Cream cheese with chopped raw vegetable, or bacon. 5—Peanut butter with bacon or chopped vegetable. Salads are excellent to carry along. Here’s one that’s both attractive and nutritious: 2 hard cooked eggs 4 teasp. dry mus \% teasp. grated tard onion 1 teasp. lemon 1 tablesp. chopped juice radishes 14 teasp. salt mayonnaise to moisten dash of cayenne Cut eggs in halves lengthwise; remove yolks and mash. Combine with onion, radishes and seasonings. Moisten with mayonnaise. Fill egg-white centers. Put halves together and wrap in waxed paper. Chill before packing. To satisfy that sweet tooth and to round out the meal, Ann offers the following easy-to-make recipe: QUICKIE COOKIES 144 cups condensed milk (sweetened) 1% cup peanut butter 2 cups bran flakes Mix condensed milk, peanut butter and bran flakes very thoroughly. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased baking sheet. Bake in moderate oven (375) until brown—about fifteen minutes. Recipe makes about 2% dozen crisp cookies, shoulders with square neckline outlined with a flattering ruffle that is interwoven with velvet ribbon. It is ultra-becoming and extremely feminine. Definitely “news” is the overblouse that will see wide popularity in a variety of colors and fabrics, particularly in woven silks, cottons, and linen. Worn over a skirt, with a wise choice of accessories, it is a fresh note for Spring-into-Summer. Bow ties, as aforementioned, will be frequent accents on blouses, ties in self-fabric, velvets, ribbons, or the more tailored type in suit-matching fabrics. The softer, flattering bows will be clipped or pinned to the blouse with jeweled pins, real or simulated—for afternoon or evening’ wear. “FASHION MAT ED 301B” Still ED 3; Mat 204—30c Ann Sheridan is co-starred with Errol Flynn in the Strand Theatre’s current attraction, “Edge Of Darkness,” Warner Bros.’ film of Nazioccupied Norway, based on William Woods’ popular novel. %,
