Mat 202—-20e¢ Margaret Lindsay Urges Girls To Humor Faces Too Much Cosmetics Not Good For Skin Says Feminine Lead In “Isle of Fury” Probably no other actress in Hollywood has so little to do with beauty artifices as Margaret Lindsay. Her type of beauty is the honest kind, as natural as the waving corn in the mid-western State from which she hails. It is as frank, sincere and free from mystery as Margaret herself. However, she is the girl who got her start in pictures through a mild deception, having posed as an English actress to win a role in ‘‘Cavaleade.’’ ‘All this talk about glamour, mystery, seductive allure as woman’s greatest weapon strikes me as just being so much bunk,’’ she says. ‘‘Maybe it’s all right for some girls, if they happen to be the type that can get away with it. Personally, I’d rather be myself.?? And evidently she’s right. For men like Margaret Lindsay.

She never has any dearth of boy friends. Born in Dubuque, Iowa, where her socially prominent family still resides, this popular young Warner Bros. actress attended the public schools as a child, and confesses that she was a ringleader in a fun-loving gang that was always up to mischief. They never had any time to worry about cosmetics or their looks, nice little Iowa girls didn’t, you know. And now that Margaret has developed into a famous picture actress, fundamentally she hasn’t changed a bit. Take her thick, naturally curly dark brown hair, for instance. It never has a permanent wave. In fact, only for picture purposes does it ever have any set wave ut all, and then it’s a natural one that Murgaret has pressed in with her own fingers after washing it herself. Between times, she lets it fly away, as though she had been driving hatless in the wind, which is really the fact. There’s no mystery about Margaret Lindsay’s honest comeliness. No Hollywood beauty parlor has her name among its patrons, and it’s the kind, based on healthy skin and good features, that will wear. So she’s smart enough to let it alone, treating it, but not killing it, with kindness. Miss Lindsay has the feminine lead in ‘‘Isle of Fury,’’ a rousing romance of the South Sea islands where the only law is the one of might. It is based on the novel of blazing adventure by Somerset Maugham. Others in the cast are Humphrey Bogart, Donald Woods, Paul Graetz, Gordon Hart and E. E. Clive. The picture was directed by Frank MeDonald. ‘mail. .

What I’m trying to point out is that there’s only one thing important to me. That’s acting. I must never share my interest and enthusiasm for the theatre with any other thing. ‘*This attitude applies to everything else.
