96 SCREENLAND New Life to Hair from Tropical Tree /AM writing thisfrom my uncle's plantation in the v JU ANITA REQUA West Indies, where I came recently to live. The first thing I noticed was that all women on this island have the most beautiful hair — thick, abundant, and shining with life and health. Today, my once scraggly locks are long, and I, too, have loads of hair. No doubt many would welcome this secret of the tropics that makes hair so long and luxuriant. It is the use of Kakoa seed, that Nature must have just meant for people's heads. Just a tiny bit of this pure, white paste nourishes hair marvelously— for all types. Young and old, darkest natives and fairest blonds from England, enrich hair roots and pigments with Kakoa and soon have a wealth of soft, glossy hair. Tourists know the secret, a"d many send for Kakoa every year; it seems as if every boat brings more requests for this wonderful natural stimulant. But now my uncle has permitted preparing and packing enough Kakoa for all who may write and ask for supply.

J ack Daugherty, -who is an actor and somewhat of a celebrity in his own right in addition to being Barbara La Marr's husband, wanted enormously to fly from Venice to Paris, on their recent honeymoon trip abroad. But not Barbara. "Go ahead and fly, if you want to," said Barbara. "I look very well in black. But I'll take mine on terra firma, thank you." They didn't fly. Kenneth Harlan as The Virginian ife is drab at best but the clouds are occasionally brightened by the little rays of sunshine cast by the gents who write the newspaper advertising for the picture theatres. Our morale was strengthened by this gem of literature apropos of the presentation of The Virginian at a Los Angeles theatre: "Against the wild, colorful background of the American plains is pictured a sweettoned symphony of a woman's soul, blended with a clean-cut herculean chap's terrific struggle against overwhelming odds." Dear! Dear! The clean-cut herculean chap in question was played by Kenneth Harlan and if he was the Virginian as Owen Wister pictured him we're Little Eva! At least the Virginian was a graceful romantic figure. Harlan looked and acted like a farmer, successfully concealing his emotions, if any, behind a perfectly blank countenance. Which, of course, is perfectly good form in our best film circles this season, which advocates reserve to the extent of concealing all human intelligence. We know of a clothing-store dummy which would be a knock-out on a good many Hollywood sets. Social Life in Los Angeles The dinner at the Montmartre almost any evening may see so many stars as to be quite dazzled. Celebrating the opening of The Ten Commandments, more than a score of celebrities entertained at dinner at the Montmartre before the performance. The room fairly blazed with jewels and gorgeous raiment. Enid Bennett was the prettiest thing imaginable m a gown of burnt orange crepe embroidered in gold, with a bandeau of orange and gold. Her wrap was of ermine, and Fred Niblo's look of smug satisfaction in his lovely wife was wholly understandable. Pola Negri came with her bosom friend, Mrs. Charles Eyton (Kathlyn Williams). Mrs. Eyton wore black velvet, brilliant with rhinestones, and was enveloped in a marvelous mink wrap. Pola was a radiant flame in burnt orange trimmed in silver, with a silver bandeau about her black locks. We couldn't truthfully say that Constance Talmadge "dined" there that evening, for she spent most of her time fighting off admirers who begged to dance with her, but she looked wholly adorable in black velvet trimmed with little tails of ermine. Sister Norma looked on indulgently in a lovely affair of nude-colored chiffon with pearl trimming. Viola Dana brought her sister, Shirley Mason, under her wing. Both girls wore simple black velvet gowns. Viola's wrap was of ermine, while Shirley's was of sable velvet with an ermine collar. Others who furnished a soothing and restful treat to the eye included Helene Chadwick, in a gold gown and wrap of American Beauty velvet; Agnes Ayres, in turquoise satin and ermine cloak; Julia Faye in flesh-colored chiffon and ermine; Lucile Carlisle, regal in cloth of gold and a gold bandeau in her hair; Pauline Frederick, in cloth of silver with a magnificent sable wrap, and Mrs. Conway Tearle, in black chiffon beaded in silver, with a mink wrap. Gloria in The Swan Cjloeia Swanson seems to have safely passed the program picture prrgatory, in which she suffered so long. If rumor is to be trusted, Gloria is to be starred in Franz Molnar's The Swan, competition for which has been so keen among producers for months. Gloria ought to be in her element as the capricious princess whose so-human instincts strive constantly with hauteur and pridefulness. A, Mickey and Blanche nd he fell in love with his wife! Isnlt there a play by that name? Anyway, that little drama is being enacted here in Hollywood, it is said. Blanche Sweet, with her full return to health, is showing herself so altogether adorable, and proving herself so fine an actress in her recent pictures that her husband, Mickey Neilan, is falling in love with her all over again. Not that he hasn't loved her all the time, you understand, but this new tide of feeling is almost a return to the first-love era. Who could blame him? Blanche is a darling. Harold at the Races Some folks have all the luck. Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis motored down to Tia Juana the other week-end to watch the horse races and maybe to lay a few pennies on some likely horse's nose. Harold spotted one, Chiva, that looked good to him, and Mildred thought the name was pretty, so they hunted up a bookie and discovered that they had picked about the least popular nag on the track. The odds were 70 to 2. Well, they bet ten dollars on Chiva in spite of [Continued on next page]
