Silver Screen (Nov 1938-Apr 1939)

Silver Screen for February 1939 RAW THROAT? Start Gargling Now! At the first sign of a raw, dry, ticklish throat, gargle with Zonite. Gargling with Zonite benefits you in three ways: (1) it kills the germs connected with colds — at contact; (2) eases the rawness in your throat; (3) relieves the painful swallowing. If you're looking for antiseptic resuits, and not just a pleasant-tasting mouthwash— Zonite is your product 1 So be prepared. Get Zonite from your druggist. The minute you feel rawness in your throat, start gargling. Use 1 teaspoon of Zonite to XA glass of water. Gargle every 2 hours. Soon your throat feels better. ranging from a piece of the dock at Bombay to a dainty Japanese geisha house in Tokyo, a set which was the first authentic reproduction of such a Nipponese house ever erected in a studio. The walls were of oiled paper and bamboo, the floors covered with rattan matting. The only furniture was a tea table 18 inches high and about 40 inches long, a tea stand with a dwarfed maple tree in a simple pot on top of it, a small platform for the native musicians and a small silk tapestry on one wall. Into this set comes Fredric March, and later Ralph Bellamy, in search of Joan Bennett, who is trying to flee from the police in San Francisco after she thought she had shot Sidney Blackmer. March is a private detective, Bellamy a member of the regular force— a self-righteous fellow who took his 90 days' training too seriously and frequently becomes more amusing than he intended. Ann Sothern created a new character for herself in "Trade Winds," a type of DANDRUFF ITCH? Heres an Antiseptic Scalp Treatment Here is a simple treatment that does what skin specialists say is necessary if you want to combat dandruff caused by germs: — 1. Add 2 tablespoons of Zonite to each quart of water in basin. 2. Massage head for 3 minutes with this Zonite solution. This gives head an antiseptic cleansing — stimulates scalp — kills germs on hair and scalp at contact! 3. Lather head with good shampoo, using same Zonite solution. This loosens dirt and dandruff scales. 4. Rinse very thoroughly. This leaves scalp clean and sweet. 5. If scalp is dry, massage in a good oil hair dressing. This reheves dryness. Do this twice a week at first. And later, once a week. MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE We are convinced that if you use this Zonite treatment faithfully, you'll be delighted with results.

She is March's secretary, hungry for romance but well enough acquainted with her boss to know that he should be watched if the $100,000 reward, he is after, is actually won. Matching Garnett's Asiastic atmosphere scenes with studio sets gave the production department some real problems at times. The first day on the set Director Garnett learned that his two sound men were former navy men who had once rescued him at sea when he 'pancaked' a 21 passenger flying boat to avoid a fire in midair, off La Jolla, California, in 1920. Their enlistments in the navy at an end just as motion pictures became 'talkies' Commander Paul Neal and Radio Officer 'Curley' Nelson took up film sound recording. Their work with Lieutenant Garnett was one of the many happy coincidences which made the filming of "Trade Winds" almost as romantic as the story of this new film play. Allure! Mysterious— Provocative [Continued from page 34] not until she sluffed the crinolines and stood revealed, small waist, shapely bosom, heavy-lidded eyes, quite remarkable legs that she came into her own. What lesson does this teach? I'm not trying to answer a question, simply to propound one . . . which is that Bette's ability was always there, no doubt, but not until she added glamour to her handful of talents did she set off a star which now glitters round the world. (Hollywood not glamour-conscious? When they tried to glamorize mouthy Martha Ray, need you ask???) And there is Ann Sheridan, right here among us, at Warner Brothers, Texas born and bred. I ask you to consider the pictures of Ann Sheridan and then tell me that glamour must be a foreign import. Ann with her tawny red hair, jewelled darkling eyes, 109 pounds of richly curved beauty. Ann has talent, yes. Ann has courage. Her pals call her "Annie." She has the kind of popularity which was Jean Harlow's and, like Jean, she has astonishing beauty of face and form. She can sleek her hair back from her lovely face, let it fall into cascades of curls on one side. She is snaky and sinuous in a satin negligee, one leg showing, slippers with glittering, jewelled heels. Ann knows how to pose on a tiger skin . . . and does. For five years Hollywood kept the simply sumptuous Sheridan hidden under a bushel of "B" pictures . . pictures in which she played a shop-girl, a school-marm . . . drab parts, drably dressed . . . and during this time people would see her around the lot, around town, in her effulgent loveliness, and they would exclaim "Good God, who is THAT?" And wouldn't believe it when they were told that "That" was Ann Sheridan, the Lost Lady of the "Bs." Then she played in "Letter Of Introduction." She wore smart clothes. Her beauty began to "so shine" that her studio rubbed its eyes and opened them wide on the glamorousness of Sheridan. They asked themselves "What has Hedy got that our Annie doesn't have?" And there was no rational answer to the question. Orry Kelly himself began to dress her (his assistants 'had "done for" Ann before). She made "Broadway Musketeers" and shook a sheathed and shapely hip and sang a song in a bluesy, come-hither voice. Then she made "Angels With Dirty Faces" and now Hollywood is Awake to Annie, all eyes, all ears . . . catching up her resemblance to Harlow . . . now they are giving us Ann as she really is and could have been from the beginning . . . imperiously lovely and vibrant and velvety and satiny and ripe with song and summer and the joy of living and all the wine-of-life qualifications which go to make for Glamour. Now the Warner Brothers, even when remembering Hedy Lamarr, can sleep in peace. The late Irving Thalberg realized the value of glamour when, a year or so before he died, he advised Norma Shearer to give no more interviews about herselt as a wife, a mother. He well knew that the Helens and the Guineveres are not remembered for their stable virtues but for their dangerous allure. Dorothy Lamour brings glamour with her. It is in her soft, dark folded hair, unawake eyes, full soft mouth . . . her quietness gives us something of that dark throb which is the pulse of glamour. Her voice when she sings is like the scent of the gardenia, throaty and laden. There is a suppression about her which provokes and arouses the heady passions of men who admire women in kitchen aprons but throw over kingdoms for a Dietrich. For Dietrich, too, has glamour. Hollywood laughs a little at Marlene, at her temperament, at her Narcissism . . . but Dietrich never enters a room, a theatre, a cafe but what every head is turned in her direction, but what the eyes of men keep wandering toward her, the lodestone, and the women instinctively "fuss with" their hair, take out their lipsticks, adopt more alluring poses. In Hollywood we say that Paulette
