For this reason, the composite, or nondescript type, must choose colors that are startling. If your hair is not decidedly one thing or the other, then play up your eyes. If they are blue, wear this color in all the vivid shades and always be sure there is a wee dash of some other color on the costume to bring out the beauty of the original shade. “If your eyes are green you have a wealth of colors from which to choose and instead of trying to make your eyes appear less green, make them more so, because green eyes are fascinating. All of the marine colors are delightful on the woman with green eyes. Nile green, aquamarine, love bird green and mauve blend with your eyes and bring them out to their best advantage. “Brown and black eyed damsels are lovelier in warm, deep shades than they are in pastels and light colors. Warm _ shades of reds, browns and purple bring out the depths of their eyes. “The composite type need have no fear of passing without notice, if she selects gowns that possess vivid color combinations.” STRAND 14th Street NOW!

RELL EE ve mili, erring Cut No. 3, Biography of BILLIE DOVE Billie Dove spent just four and a half years in climbing from a “bit” player of the screen to the position of a First National star, the proud possessor of a long term contract... However, her rise has been a steady succession of better and better roles, rather than a leap from obscurity to fame. Miss Dove was born in New York City and received her education there. Physical culture in school led to amateur dancing and so to amateur dramatics, but it was the recognition of her beauty in particular that first induced many of her friends to join in an attempt to persuade her screenward. Her first role was with Constance Talmadge—a modest bit in ‘Polly of the Follies.” Lois Weber then decided that Miss Dove was not only a beautiful photographic subject but an exceedingly clever actress-in-the-making, and as a result she was given excellent roles in two of Miss Weber’s productions, “The Sensation Seekers” and “The Marriage Clause.” After that her recognition was widespread and rapid. In “The Black Pirate” she played the feminine lead opposite Douglas Fairbanks. Her first picture under the First National banner was “Three in Love,’ and her subsequent vehicles include “The Tender Hour,” “The Yellow Lily,” “The Heart of a Follies. Girl,’ “The Love Mart,” “Night Watch,” “Adoration,” “The Man and the Moment,” “Careers.” w Cut 60c, Mat 15c. @, os ee rhe . +h ave : o <3 ito yal cote rere pro <i Actor Was Soldier John Loder’s father was a general in the British army, and his early ambition was to be a soldier.
