This regulation made an art out of the business of osculation. Motion picture stars have become expert in this art by reason of the fact that they are required to interpret every known type of kiss in front of the motion picture camera. Censors decided to regulate kissing because a great number of pictureplay goers resented an overplay of passionate embraces. The so-called vampires of the silent days, Theda Bara, Nita Naldi and Virginia Pearson probably hold the time records for sereen kisses yet the screen stars of today are said to be the more perfect lovers. Dolores Del Rio, now playing in “The Widow from Monte Carlo,” the Warner Bros. picture which COMES, LO NC. .ars cout escrucs Theatre Olea ie eee » has some definite ideas about kissing. To a recent question as to whether a star can remain indifferent while being kissed in front of a motion picture camera, Miss Del Rio says: “A kiss in itself is not important. One cannot remain entirely indifferent to all screen kisses nor can one be moved by them all. The situation of the story, the amount of emotion in the scene and the sincerity of one’s co-player must all be taken into consideration. “Frankly I have been kissed before the camera and remained indifferent and I have also been kissed before the camera and got a thrill out of it.” Miss Del Rio is well qualified ——---__to-disctuss-screen-love: She has por — trayed a number of lover roles. As Charmaine in “What Price Glory,” it will be remembered that she divided her love between Edmund Lowe and Victor Mc Laglen. She was the reason for= the most of the dissension _hetwéen these two war huddies. More recently she portrayed the role of Madame DuBarry in the picture that was named for one of the most famous lovers in history. No amount of persuasion would induce Miss Del Rio to divulge the names of the leading men whose kisses were sufficiently vibrant that they came under the classification of those about whom she had “not remained indifferent.” “The Widow from Monte Carlo,” is a gay romance based on the play by Ian Hay and A. E. Mason. In the cast besides Miss Del Rio are Warren William, Louise Fazenda, Colin Clive, Herbert Mundin, Olin Howland and Warren Hymer. Arthur Greville Collins directed the picture from the screen play by F. Hugh Herbert.

Mat No. 101—10c Not All Screen — ins Designed For Youngsters It is often complained by older women that fashions, and especially Hollywood fashions, are all designed for the youngsters. In “The Widow From Monte Carlo,’ a Warner Bros. Picture, now:.showing -at othe so, ee. Theatre, Mary Forbes, mother of Ralph Forbes, not only plays a prominent role but also illustrates just how smart a woman past fifty can look. For a dinner dress, she wears a cool, luscious “sea mist”. green crepe, designed by Orry-Kelly. The long skirt is extremely full, but has a slender silhouette, and the shoulders are~ covered with short sleeves, more correctly, simply a wide armhold coming from the waistline. Then there are thirty-six strands of silver cord, “plaited,” according to the designer’s own description, “about the shoulders and extremely low neckline, and then allowed to fall free in an Egyptian panel, to the floor.” This trick of braiding or twisting cords, by the way, and then letting them swing loose from belt to hemline, has been found most flattering to the figure. It takes the place of the now-popular front fullness, and covers up that telltale “balloon tire” round the middle that proves all to plainly how Milady has been shirking on her daily dozen! “The Widow from Monte Carlo” is a gay romance based on the play by Ian Hay and A. E. W. Mason. In the case besides Miss Forbes, the cast includes Warren William, Dolores Del Rio, Louise Fazenda, Colin Clive, Herbert Mundin, Olin Howland and Warren Hymer. Arthur Greville Collins directed the picture from the screen play by F. Hugh Herbert. Dialogue is by Charles Belden.

In addition the tractor motor can be turned into a pump to use in a fire emergency to siphon out the 40,000 gallons of water in the William swimming pool. A compressed air tank on the tractor keeps the tires op the cars in the William garage inflated and can also be used as a paint spray unit or for spraying the trees in the orchard. When he first began to plough the ground on his Encino Ranch in California, he found so many rocks that the blades in the furrow maker were ‘broken three times. He set to work and built an ingenious device which now picks up rocks first. The section of San Fernando Valley in which William lives is one in which the fire peril is particularly hazardous. It is in a heavily forested section, one of the more or less unpopular “No Smoking Zones.” He realized that in the event of one of those unfortunate forest conflagrations he would practically be without water to protect his own property. For this reason he purchased the water pump which operates from the motor of his tractor. His swimming pool which—is—always kept full, contains 40,000 gallons of water and this he can now turn into a reserve supply in the event water pressure from the main system is being concentrated at some other nearby point. It was a simple matter to aad the compressed air tank which now offers a three-fold use. It is the same type tank with which many automobiles are equipped for tire inflation. In addition to supplying his tire air, a couple of simple attachments and the tank supplies the necessary pressure for either painting or spraying his trees. William has been credited with inventing a number of devices but none that have caused so much comment as his “jack of all trades” tractor. In “The Widow from Monte Carlo,’ William plays the role of a gay lothario who sweeps a duchess off her feet into his arms. The picture is a rollicking romance based on the play by Ian Hay and A. E. W. Mason. Besides William the cast includes Dolores Del Rio, I.ouis Fazenda, Colin Clive, Herbert Mundin, Olin. Howland and Warren Hymer. The picture was directed by Arthur Greville Collins from the screen play by F. Hugh Herbert. Miss Fazenda Wears Beautiful Gown As a wealthy woman with social aspirations, Louise Fazenda wears an evening gown designed by OrryKelly in “The Widow from Monte Carlo,’ the Warner Bros. picture now showing at the............. Theatre. Of a soft metal cloth in bronzes and browns, the gown has a high draped neckline in front, and a low back. Three back godets extending into a train give both dignity and fullness, and the belt is trimmed simply with scrolls of blonde braid. Over the gown goes a kneelength cape of the same material, fitted about the shoulders, and adorned with a shaggy corsage of flowers in harmonizing autumn colors.
