Without Calomel— And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go The liver should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. A mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause. It takes those good, old Carter's Little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." Harmless, gentle, yet amazing in making bile flow freely. For a free sample of Carter's Little Liver Pills, also free book entitled "The Interesting Storv of What Makes You Feel Good," address Carter's, 19 Park Place, N. Y. C.

If you are using hothouse mushrooms, give them about half an hour as they are less tender than the homegrown variety. "Another thing Gene likes very much — as what man doesn't? — is onion soup," remembered Jeanette. "I believe my cook makes this especially well." Jeanette never plans anything for her guests to do at her parties, because she always tries to invite people who will be congenial. Everyone has so much to say, and they all try to say it at once, so that the result is quite hilarious. [f they want to do anything, there's certainly plenty to do; if they want to do nothing, there are a good many restful places to relax in. The atmosphere is informal. The hospitality truly "recreates." Lond on Arlen's New Hobby Continued from page 59 in no time. It was a straight shot, no filter." Dick shoots scenery when it suddenly strikes him as beautiful, but he never goes out looking for it. "I like to take pictures of people, kids especially. I like kids and they usually make cute shots, if you can catch them quick enough. I believe I'll get a Rolleflex — they say it's the swiftest lens on the market. "Maybe when I get the Leica under control, it will do the kid-snatching pictures, but I'm no expert yet. This shot of the Crosby twins was shot when they were creeping toward me. I called out 'Dennis — look here!' and snapped my fingers. They both looked up and I clicked, but the forward one kept on coming, so he's the least bit out of focus, but it's so like them, it's funny. "I used the Pressman on this shot of Helen Twelvetrees and Arline Judge with their babies. The kids were quite small then and Joby was having a party for Ricky. This was more luck than judgment. It was made before I got the camera bug. "If you want a 'how not to do it' example, here's one : Joby took this shot of me in the baby cage. The background is a hedge, but it's too dark. She should have shot up so as to show the top of the hedge or to give an idea of what it is. The towel is too white. A filter might have helped. "They tell you always to use a filter at sea, but I made this shot of Jack Oakie without one, and it's clear enough. And this one of Gary Cooper, Jack Oakie, and me (all but my head) was made by Max Miller with my camera and without a filter. "I believe I had a yellow filter on this one of Gary with the towel, taken over near Catalina. "Talking of water shots, Joby got this one of me, overboard from the deck, one day. That's an example of a lucky shot, because the boat moved a little all the time. "Joby also got this shot of me with Babe Didrickson of the golf course. You can see her shadow in the foreground. She couldn't have used a filter or there'd be more detail in the sky and background, but it's remarkably clear. "I never fool around with dark rooms, or try to tell the people at the camera shops how to print up my stuff. I suppose if I were farther along with it, I'd be on their necks all the time bellowing about the way a shot's printed, or why wasn't it printed for contrast, or all the usual squawks. "But to my mind, printing isn't going to remedy the mistakes of the man with the lens. You have to get it right in the first place." . Continued from page 62 was feeling too bruised and shaken to come to Maureen O' Sullivan's cocktail party. Characteristically Maureen sent out invitations from "Mrs. John Farrow" with her acting name just printed underneath in the smallest possible letters. She was all in her favorite blue, with the most amusing spotted veil over her hat, and had her young sister Sheila as assistant hostess. Maureen enjoyed her brief ice-skating scenes with Robert Taylor in "A Yank at Oxford" so much she decided to learn the art thoroughly. So she went off to Streatham Rink and had tuition from veteran Benny Lee, who was Sonja Heme's instructor. Her progress seemed rather slow and it was a great surprise when Benny presented her with a silver cup after her last lesson as souvenir of her accomplishments on skates. Proudly Maureen bore her trophy home and then she read the inscription : "To the girl who of all my pupils is the least like Sonja Henie." (Of course, Maureen is back with you in Hollywood now — and how we miss her!) Noel Madison was at the party and I learnt that my favorite film gangster is exceedingly superstitious. He is convinced that his lucky charm on the screen is his battered four-year-old hat so he has donned it, doffed it, and been shot at in it in his last thirty-nine films. (For the fortieth he could only get it into the picture by having the prop man hang it on the hat peg in another character's lobby!) Now hcrefuses to appear without it. It has duly adorned his head as the press agent in Jessie Matthews' latest musical, "Sailing Along," and now it is helping him to perform successful villainy in "Kate Plus Ten." This is the British thriller of the year, based on an Edgar Wallace story. Genevieve Tobin has travelled across the Atlantic to play the crooked Kate who gets away with a million in bullion from the gold train she has wrecked. Noel is her gangster lieutenant and tall Jack Hulbert plays Detective Mike Pembcrton who eventually nabs them. I met Genevieve dining out in a small party the other night, gracious in a draped black velvet gown with a single diamond bracelet. She doesn't care for the nightspots very much but prefers a quiet home evening with a few chosen friends. Talking of parties, there was a jolly little one at Denham the other afternoon to congratulate handsome dark-haired Griffith Jones who has just been signed up for a long term by M-G-M and leaves for Hollywood soon. You may remember him with Elisabeth Bergner in "Escape Me Never." but if not you can meet him again as Bob Taylor's undergraduate friend in "A Yank ' at Oxford" and you will agree he still looks good beside those romance-compelling Taylor features, too! Griff, as we call him, was originally intended for a doctor but preferred the films instead. He was born in London though his parents were Welsh, collects tiny model animals of which he possesses hundreds, and has a pretty nonacting wife, a passion for chocolate layer cake, and the most unusual keen eyes of any actor I know. Somebody at the party described Griff as "the only good-looking man in the studio who isn't making love to Merle Oberon this week." Explanation being that Merle plays a wealthy heiress in her latest Korda picture, "Over the Moon," and no less than eight leading men are acting with her. which must be something of a record for high-speed screen romance.
