for May 19 36 69 emi i-nijii es Beauty's Day at the Morn! Coty's "blushing shades" of face powder make gray more becoming. w] V V your new gray costumes ! If you're one of the many who think "I simply can't wear gray," and you look on the vogue for those ladylike shades with consternation, let us give you a clear, strong ray of hope. We're convinced that gray can be made becoming to anyone just by giving yourself the complexion to go with it! Coty have solved the problem with "blushing shades" of their grand new Air-Spun face powder. The process of "air-spinning" makes it possible literally to shoot warmth into powder. The two new "blushing shades" of Coty's Air-Spun powder are Soleil d'Or, (a sunlight shade for the oliveskinned), and Rachel Nacre, with a peachy flush for blondes and lightskinned brunettes. Select the one that suits you — and wear gray to your heart's content ! FLOWERS of Spain, like Spanish music and dancing, reflect the romantic glamor of that Southern clime. It's a marvel to us that Spanish perfumes with their gay, intoxicating fragrance, have taken so long to make themselves known in this country. But right now they're building a popularity that threatens to be widespread and lasting. You who like to be among the first to adopt a new vogue will be wise Spanish perfume such as On in a "jiffy" — new "FlexZip" girdle secured with Talon fastener. ew hopes of clear skin are contained in Stillman's Actone. Icii For after-the-bath freshness — delicately scented Mavis talcum powder. in shape. There's a twincontrol model for the streamline figure and a super-control for the full silhouette. Whichever you choose will go on and off in a "jiffy," thanks to the Talon slide fastener used for side-closing. And it stays where it's put because it has concealed hooks and eyes at the vulnerable spots. There are two or three of these, depending upon how much control you need. "FlexZip" is made by Flexees and you'll find it at your favorite department store. I F YOU'RE discouraged and downhearted because your skin breaks out in pimples or acne, you should know about Actone. It's made by the same concern that make Stillman's Freckle Cream, and from what we've heard, it's wonderfully effective in clearing up blemished complexions. Good thorough soap and water cleansing should precede the use of Stillman's Actone. Then pat the liquid over your face with a pad of absorbant cotton. If you use it twice a day regularly for the first week and three times a day the second, you should see definite results at the end of that time. However, it's wise to continue using it a few times a week to prevent recurrence of the blemishes. to consider a "Umbrujo de Sevilla," "Maja," "Goyesca" or "Suspiro de Granada" made by the House of Myrurgia. Then when you're asked "What is that perfume you're wearing?" you can be proud to answer "It's Spanish !" YOU take your daily tub or shower, of course, but do you finish it off with a dusting of powder as Hollywood stars do? It takes so little time and effort to observe this beauty rite that we simply can't understand women who neglect it. Personally, we're addicted to Mavis talcum powder and we'd feel our bathroom sadly unfurnished without it. This may sound contradictory, but it's a fact that talcum after the bath keeps you cooler in Summer and also gives your body protection against cold on wintry days. Besides its deodorant qualities, Mavis talcum powder protects you against "girdle-chapping," reduces wear and tear on stockings. You can get a convenient small tin at five-andten-cent stores or larger sizes at drug ar.d department stores. a new, combative attitude. To reap satisfaction from creating a gallery of individuals he'll have to maneuver into a difficult spot. Certainly his budding ambition must over-ride his serenity. "My one rule to date has been shockingly unidealistic !" he exclaimed. "I've insisted upon a raise with each new contract. Oh, I've never attempted to hold anyone up. But, once I was under way, this vow to regularly improve my financial status seemed a good method for insuring my attention to details !" Pet of the discerning critics and fans, team-mate of Garbo, Dietrich, Norma Shearer, Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, and a dozen other of our most illustrious feminine stars, Bart's unassuming summary of his career is nothing short of extraordinary. As he analyzed himself I could glimpse the ramifications of his current situation. "I figured on coming and going between the screen and the stage, but look what's occurred to that nice notion !" He was alternating Broadway and films made conveniently in the East until Joseph von Sternberg sat out front one night in the New York theatre where he was playing. The capricious but clever director decreed that Bart was the one man suitable for the lead in Marlene Dietrich's "The Blonde Venus." So $35,000 was expended by Paramount to secure him ! Gilbert Miller had counted on Marshall's "There's Always Juliet" running for four more weeks. But von Sternberg demonstrated the movies' power. Miller was paid for the remaining, prospective profits, the theatre rent that would have been due was taken care of, and the rest of the cast was reimbursed. The show closed Saturday evening and Bart was hurried West. That was his introduction to Hollywood. Since he has been here he has bumped into the circumstance which confronts those other ace names who assume they'll return periodically to the footlights. The studios hate to relinquish a box-office magnet and hits in the theatre can't be depended upon in advance. Bart "owes" Gilbert Miller two plays and is continually wondering when he'll get away to do them. Incidentally, he still retains his British citizenship, but he believes his career will henceforth be ailAmerican. Now unless he makes a determined spurt this year to hold onto the theatre as a part of his life, his growing fondness for pictures will cut off that portion of his plans. He is anxious for the stimulation of audiences in New York, and yet already he is a bit appalled by the idea of a long run. Won't it be humdrum after the initial fun — after Hollywood? Meanwhile, Bart is keeping more than busy, for he is under contract to two top film organizations. In his spare moments he most enjoys the company of persons who can converse entertainingly. His closest friends in the colony are Gloria Swanson, Constance Collier, Merle Oberon, David Niven, and the Frank Lawtons, (Evelyn Laye). He reads extensively and he likes both the solitude of the desert and dropping in for supper at the smart night clubs. Daytimes you see him spinning about in a convertible Ford coupe. He'll never wail at the eventual dimming of glory, for he doesn't puff up at it now. Nor will he cry when there's a lessening of income. "When the clay dawns that I shall have to get along with a slashed budget I'll find a way. I've done it before." This is the momentous year for Herbert Marshall. Will he really strike out and tussle with fate, and with himself? In any event, you'll be in on whatever happens to Bart. Time will reveal the complete story. It alway" does ! YOUR Easter wardrobe should start with an efficient and dependable foundation. Such is "Flex-Zip." It's a quick, slick little girdle with a lot of power to hold you QUAND is French for "When?" and it's Corday's name for a mysterious "woodsy" perfume that now comes in those cunning little black one-dram bottles.
