16 SCREENLAND NOW and What a Whale of a Difference Just a Few Years Make! Marion Davies. Above, today; right, as she looked in the days before she became the screen's leading comedienne. Discounting the change in styles, Marion is younger and prettier than ever, the princess of piquancy. One of Norma Shearer's chief charms is her sleek, beautifully-shaped aristocratic little head. Her slick coiffure helps her to achieve the effect. That's why Norma looks so different now from her old self, shown in the lower picture at the right. Left: Lewis Stone, twice! Mr. Stone as he looked when he first made a success on the screen; and, extreme left, as he looks right now. It should be noted that the immaculate Lewis no longer poses with the Lord Byron collar effect. Here indeed is a matinee idol whose appeal has strengthened with the years.
