Here's good advice for a woman during her change (usually from 38 to 52), who fears she'll lose her appeal to men, who worries about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells, upset nerves and moody spells. Just get more fresh air, 8 hrs. sleep and if you need a reliable "WOMAN'S" tonic take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made especially for women. It helps Nature build up physical resistance, thus helps give more vivacity to enjoy life and assist calming jittery nerves and those disturbing symptoms that often accompany change of life. For free trial bottle tear this out and send with name and address to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., 973 Cleveland St., Lynn, Mass. Pinkham's is WELL WORTH trying.' VEGETABLE COMPOUND have the privilege of doing stage plays. Robinson has never done a play since he first came to Hollywood. Muni went back east, did one play, returned to the west coast and promptly sank into the desuetude of Hollywood life. When Robert Montgomery signed a new contract with M-G-M it carried a provision enabling him to do stage plays. He has never availed himself of the clause. Spencer Tracy used to moan that Robinson and Muni had the only worthwhile contracts in the film industry, because they had the privilege of doing stage plays. Yet, when he left the Fox company he promptly signed with M-G-M — signed without even a backward glance at the legitimate theatre. All this was pointed out to John Gar dropped a forkful of egg on his new gray slacks. "You're going to start that again, eh?" he muttered, cleaning himself off. "I haven't changed !" "You're bound to have changed some," I insisted. "You don't need to have changed for the worse but you're bound to have changed somehow." "I haven't!" he yelled and added defensively, "ask Robbie." "Robbie," I put it up to his wife, "you tell me." "I don't think he has changed," she replied. "When we came out here he didn't care about night clubs. He still doesn't. We've only been to one in all the time we've been here. He didn't care about parties—and he still doesn't. He's only been to Polly Ann Young, Sally Blane, Georgianna Young, and Loretta Young, Hollywood's most famous quartette of off-screen sisters, appear together in "Alexander Graham Bell." field. He shook his head stubbornly. "I don't give a darn about your Hollywood life," he argued. "Your sunkist climate doesn't mean a thing to me. I love the hustle and bustle of New York. It's my home. And the theatre is my life. I don't care about your Hollywood gold. A lot of money isn't important to me. It isn't important to my wife. She never wanted me to come here in the first place. I'll stay as long as they give me good parts. When they start shoving me around into B pictures that don't mean anything I'm getting out." Strong words. But we had all heard salty language before. Almost every writer who interviewed him made a date to interview him a year hence — to interview the new John — the Hollywood version of _ Garfield. Well, the year is up. I've been in almost constant touch with John for months and I am obliged to state I have not been able to detect a change in him. But after more years than I like to remember of watching people go Hollywood, it didn't stand to reason John could have escaped entirely unscathed. -I went out to his home one morning before he was wide awake — before he had had time to collect his wits — thinking to catch him off guard. "Have some coffee," John invited, prying his eyes open with a knife and fork and interestedly contemplating the pair of eggs smiling up at him with big, yellow eyes. "Hey, Jack," I burst out, "how do you think you've changed since you've been out here?" John cast a startled glance at me and one Hollywood party and that was one night when he'd worked late and his director made him go along. He didn't care anything about clothes. He's still the worst-dressed man in Hollywood. He still doesn't pay over $5 for shoes or $2.00 for a shirt." I glanced down at John's feet. He had on a pair of sandals such as I have never seen anywhere but in Hollywood — and hope I never do, either. "Haven't changed, eh?" I chortled. "What about those shoes? They're not Hollywood —not much." "You're crazy," John shouted. "I bought these in New York three years ago. Only in New York you can only wear them in summer. Out here you can wear them all year round." He turned to the cook : "More eggs, please,", he suggested politely. I watched him down a breakfast consisting of orange juice, four eggs, six slices of toast, jelly and two cups of coffee. "Did he always eat this much in New York?" I asked hopefully. "No," Robbie said promptly. "We never had enough money for him to eat this much." "Well, then he's changed that way," I exulted. "Why, he's eating you out of house and home." "He always ate us out of house and home," she retorted. "I only said we didn't have as much in the house in New York.'| "You won't get anything out of her," John warned me. "She knows better than to talk." "Don't goad me too much," Robbie cau 86 SCREENLAND
