blow of all, will not stop his interesting career. Robert Taylor is another Leo-born star who has suffered somewhat in his career in past months ; but this affliction is by no means a total eclipse, for the Taylor lad has staying power, and may make certain prophets of the past eat their words. Although Andrea Leeds, another Leo subject, is happy in the personal side of her life, her career has suffered several setbacks. In last July's issue of Screenland, I predicted her marriage, but now unless Andrea is cautious her home duties may interfere with her screen career. I do not feel she will retire, but predict that she will be able judiciously to combine her future maternal duties with new artistic triumphs. Gene Raymond, another star born in Leo, is emerging from his retirement. Goaded by unfair publicity, Mr. Raymond was forced to return to the screen. He will not regret it, for new laurels await him. A Leo lady whose light has been buried under a bushel of Lane sisters is Gale Page. May I call to the attention of the brothers Warner that right on their own back lot they have a potential star ? Her chart shows great ability and determination to succeed and her 'oomph' (or hadn't you noticed, boys?) is not something that comes out of a paint pot. Another Warner stock player who will emerge is Gloria Dixon. Gloria gave one of the most brilliant performances ever seen on the local boards in a WPA production. It had the drama lovers agog. Signed by Warners, she was cast in tripe and photographed badly, but time will prove her an actress and make her a star. Gloria, as you no doubt guessed, was born in the Sign of Leo. You can't imagine the voluptuous Mae West lingering under the slight shadow of any solar affliction. Neither the Hays office, the New York Police Department nor the Radio Communications Commission has ever stopped this merry gal on her appointed rounds. She suffered perhaps less' than any Leo star from the fatal Sun spots. Her temporary retirement from the screen was a manifestation of her ruling sign in affliction — now witness her triumphant return in "My Little Chickadee," which is proof again of Leo triumphant. Jumping from Miss West to the sublime, let us consider the case of Ingrid Bergman, another Leo-born. In Miss Bergman the solar rays have blossomed in the fullest effulgence ; not only does she possess the great talent often found in these clever persons but her destiny is so manifest that home ties, marriage — nothing will keep her from being one of the greatest stars the screen has ever known.

Most of your progress this month is up to you, for the vibrations from the stars are of a mixed nature and you can make them good or bad, depending on your attitude.

Change cf residence is favored this month ; also travel by land or water. Favorable Myrna Loy and her husband, Arthur Hornblow, Jr., entertain Gwili Andre at the Cocoanut Grove. Proof that Myrna is still crazy about her husband is the fact that she can still laugh at his jokes. However, Gwili must have heard that one before. 84
