Nothing like them ever known or dreamed of. Worn at night, while you sleep, they work a miraculous transformation in the hands. They turn the hands white — as white as a lily, and as soft and smooth! Your hands may be "a sight" ; they may be a raw red or an "old-age" yellow; they may be dark with tan or blotched with freckles or liver spots ; they may be sadly seared by housework, deeply lined, rough and c o a r s e — yet they become hands of the whiteness of snow and the softness of velvet under the magic of these gloves. Wear Them While You Sleep or an Hoar or Two a Day While Doing Your Work No Hands Are Hopeless The marvelous gloves are the invention of that great physician, the famous Dr. S. J. Egan. Their magic lies in a remarkable substance with which they are treated or impregnated. This substance or preparation, perfected by Dr. Egan, is worked into the very fabric of the gloves. And when activated by the natural warmth of the hands, it has a peculiarly potent whitening and softening effect upon the hands. The hands actually turn white — a charming natural white. They become soft and smooth, exquisitely so. Even hands that have had no care for years, hands that look hopelessly worn and old, take on the beauty of lovely whiteness and softness and become fresh and young-looking under the action of these wonderful gloves. Results in One Night What does it profit a woman to have beauty of face or figure or the clothes of a queen, if her hands are uncouth? By your hands more than anything else, docs the world estimate you. What about your hands? Do they attract or repel? Are they hands to show confidently or hands to hide? The poignant attraction that lies in pretty hands is now yours to command. The magic of Dr. Egan's impregnated gloves makes it possible. Tust one night's wear of these marvelous gloves is enough to show you. Send today for a pair of Dr. Egan's Magic Gloves for free trial. Note that a jar of Dr. Egan's Pore-Lax accompanies the gloves, all in a neat, attrative container. The Pore-Lax is a special cream to apply before donning the gloves to open the pores for the purpose of quickening the action of the impregnated gloves. Use gloves with or without Pore-Lax Cream, but preferably with it. Dr. Egan's medicated gloves not only beautify the hands but they make manicuring easy because they soften the cuticle.

Frederick James Smith's The Screen Year in Review was easily the most important feature of the October Screenland — a timely article of unusual interest. Mr. Smith's accompanying remarks provoke me to argument. He claims that there is a steady and increasing decline in the market value of stars, and to balance this, a rise in favor of the pictures with featured players — some of whom are erstwhile stars. This latter clause is true enough, proven by the popularity of Where the Pavement Ends, Driven and others. But as to the falling stars" — I do not think 4he really great stars have yet lost their hold. For instance, Mr. Smith mentions the mighty names of Fairbanks, Pickford, Talmadge and Negri as examples of the decline. Pola Negri's Mad Love played to two weeks of S. R. O. at the Capitol, and Bella Donna, bad as it was, had an equally successful Broadway existence at the Rivoli. I literally fought my way to Norma Talmadge's The Voice from the Minaret, also the despair of the critics, and Within the Law which had extended runs in all the neighborhood theaters. Perhaps many went to see Pola out of curiosity, but Norma is no novelty. The fans go to see her because they like her as much as ever. You can't get around that. The box office knows. As for Constance, whatever ground she may have lost she lost because for seven or more months after East Is West she did not appear. Dulcy will find her as popular as ever because the screen can't afford to lose a clever farceur — the only one it has. Personally, I think that Fairbanks' popularity is a question of the picture he is in. A marvelous film like Robin Hood would compel admiration no matter who the star. With many, Wallace Beery's Richard was the outstanding characterization — the one personality in a memory of gigantic sets
