Silver Screen for March 1932 57 So ashamed of her Poor Complexion she locked herself in her room! way I pictured it," he grinned. "I used to imagine its streets must be paved with gold —and all you had to do to see stars was to nonchalantly enter the nearest stuflio and look 'em over! I quickly awoke from my dreams when I landed here. I like Hollywood, though, very much, and would be quite content to spend the rest of my days here, I think." He always enjoys seeing travel pictures, and juvenile pictures interest him, too. "1 thought 'Skippy' was wonderful," he exclaimed. "In fact, I enjoyed it as much as any picture I've ever seen and far more than most. Young Manners has had a varied, interesting career. Once he was a lumberjack in the woods of Canada. He says those were very happy days. Again he was a cowboy on a ranch in Arizona. And once he was in business for four years dabbling in rare art objects. This venture kept him busy traveling between New York and London. "My health was one reason why I eventually came west," he remarked. "Every time I happened to be in England, I was ill— the last time -ivith pneumonia. Finally my doctor ordered me to Arizona, where I stayed for six months and then came to Hollywood. At first I was rather lonely, but now that my mother is out here and I have made a number of good friends, things are different. You know, my mother always insisted she would never leave the East coast because there she felt nearer to her native land— England. But, eventually, she relented and came west and now she says she hasn't any desire ever to leave California! "I must tell you about her arrival here, though," he continued, blithely. "Coincidently, she came out on the same train that carried Constance Bennett. Fans knew Miss Bennett was coming on that particular train, so scores of them had gathered at the Pasadena station. As the train pulled in. my mother, of course, saw the crowd, many waving great bunches of roses and other flowers wildly in the air, and she wondered what it was all about. As the train stopped and a porter swung a box at the foot of the steps of one of the pullmans, my mother stepped onto it and stood there gazing at the enthusiastic throng. I hurried forward and greeted her and then, as she didn't budge from the box, exclaimed: 'Come, mother, let's make way for Miss Bennett.' She quickly retorted: 'Miss Bennett? 'Why, who is Miss Bennett?' Mother finally realized she was 'holding up the show' and descended. I told Connie about the incident the other day and she laughed heartily over it. 'I'll bet your mother thought all the time that the ovation was for her!' " she declared. Among other things, David has been struck by lightning twice and doesn't like the sensation. And, by way of celebration, he went down to the William Seiters' beach cottage one day and nearly drowned in the rip tide! He didn't like that especially well, either! He has several favorite mottoes. You might, he laughs, call them the code of Davicl Manners. Here they are: 'Laughter plays a more decisive part in life than tears'— 'Nobody wants to hear about your troubles'— 'You reflect what you think' —'Success doesn't care who has it— don't let it go to your head— it's apt to leave at any time'— 'Don't let life get you down'— 'The real test of a player's popularity is not in the ninnber of letters received, but in the types who write them'— and, last of all 'Be yourself!' " All in all, you're sale in betting your last dime— if you've still managed to hang onlo one— that Da\ id Manners is going to do big things on the screen. He might not have been any "great shakes" as a cowboy or an art expert, but to Hollywood, Manners is important, as Emily Post' wouldn't say. 3 ■weeks later she had a gorgeous skin — a better figure! No use! She'd powdered and powdered but still those pimples showed — red, ugly, glaring.. . She couldn't keep that date. Couldn't, couldn't — no matter how much Mother scolded ! Broken-hearted over her complexion. Hiding away in her room — ashamed, afraid to face people. That's Virginia when her story starts — but she's a "changed creature" when it ends! She confesses . . . "My complexion has always been dull and muddy and sometimes it broke out. Recently I have been in a badly rundown state, thin, stomach often upset and feeling low generally. My skin got worse than ever. I was so ashamed of it that one night when I had a date I actually locked myself in my room. "Lucky for me, a friend advised Ironized Yeast. It purified my blood so that my pimples vanished. It gave me an appetite and I was able to take care of all I ate. I gained six pounds in three weeks." Miss Virginia McPherson, 6726 Honore St., Chicago, 111. Many quick results A radiant complexion is only one of the many benefits Ironized Yeast brings.
