If you like the bracelet-length sleeve, then be sure you cover the wrist area well with bracelets. Bracelets and earrings are the most nattering of all jewelry. So much for a few points on the appearance of hands. And now the touch, for here is a subtle power. The feel of hand skin should be soft and smooth, of course, but what your touch radiates can build lasting personal relationships. The handshake is very important. The firm, sincere touch makes a good impression. The limp, lifeless shake is forbidding, to say the least. Always let a man offer his hand to you, literally in this case. When you touch the hand of one whom you love, that touch should express love. We put our hands gently on children and I think they feel the gentleness and affection. Oddly enough, when we become aware of the power within our hands and train ourselves to touch all things gently but firmly, we are developing a great source of attraction when those hands touch humans. People will like, indeed love you for the touch of your hands. Your Guide To Current Films Continued from page 14 problem, I'll bet things would still be in a mess. . . . Whispering Smith C Techn icolor ) Paramount THE picture opens with some tough hombre shooting Alan Ladd's horse out from under him. and from then on, Ladd is a rip-roaring, one-man posse in this super-duper Western. In addition, Alan is a railroad detective on the trail of a gang of train wreckers who are looting the derailed trains. Suspicion about his best friend, Robert Preston, finally sets Ladd on — excuse me — the right track. This is crammed with ornery critters, including Frank Faylen and Donald Crisp. Love interest takes a side seat, but the finale shows it's more than possible that Alan will get the gal. Brenda Marshall too. Fighter Squadron C Technicolor ) Warner Brothers AN EXCITING action yarn woven around an English-based squadron of fighter planes and pilots during the last war. It has an all-male cast and the humor is along the same lines — masculine. Among the young men who live and die bravely are Edmond O'Brien, as the squadron leader, and Robert Stack, as the pilot who takes time out to marry the girl back home. There are many actual shots taken from Air Force films which lend excitement and authenticity to the picture. Outstanding among the roles is the one done by Tom D'Andrea, a sergeant who goes around chasing British damsels and using the well-known name of "Kinsey." The Man From Colorado (Technicolor ) Columbia GOOD, fast-moving drama about a Civil War colonel, Glenn Ford, who during the war has developed the lust to kill and destroy. When he is mustered out of the army, Ford is appointed as a Federal judge, and he in turn appoints his comrade and fellow officer, William Holden, as marshal. However, it rapidly be comes apparent that Glenn is using his job to turn himself into a dictator and takes delight in imposing unjust laws on the townsfolk. After ordering the hanging of an innocent man, Glenn gets told off — but good — by Bill — and from then on it's open warfare between the two, with Glenn's wife, Ellen Drew, in the middle. Justice finally triumphs and Glenn gets what's coming to him. Mexican Hayride V niversal-t international WITH Abbott and Costello as the two main zanies, what more can you say? Except, perhaps, that friend Lou eventually finds himself in a bullfight arena which makes for more laughs than his "love scenes" with sultry Luba Malina. There's a slight plot in which Costello is the innocent fall guy for swindler Abbott, and is therefore known to American police as a cagy confidence man. Of course he is no such thing, and in his own screwball fashion manages to prove his innocence, and is allowed to return to the U.S.A. Ah, yes, Miss Malina finally succumbs to the Costello charm and as the two love-birds fly into the sunset — yup, you guessed it — Costello falls out of the wagon. Three Godfathers ( Technicolor ) MGM THIS certainly is an unusual Western — three bank robbers, while fleeing a posse, find a deserted camp and a lone woman about to give birth. Before the mother dies, she makes the three outlaws the baby's godfathers and asks that they look after the child. From then on, John Wayne, Pedro Armendariz and Harry Carey, Jr. are no longer concerned with themselves and escape. Instead, with a minimum supply of water, they set out across the desert to bring their newborn godson to civilization and safety Definitely a tearjerker, the picture, nevertheless, has its happier moments, as in the scene where the godfathers read a book on baby care. Harry Carey, Jr. does well in both acting and singing a cowboy song which turns out to be his own dirge. 72 SCREENLAND
