Silver Screen for May 1939 81 Flashshots [Continued from page 19] It is filled with beautiful things chosen with great knowledge and distinction. Wayne's pretty and charming wife, the former Bubbles Schinasi, was lunching at "21" with some girl friends so we had lunch in the sun room off Mrs. Schinasi's Louis XV bedroom. Both of the Morrises were anxious to get back to Hollywood where their wedding present from her family was being readied for them. It's a large rambling house in Bermuda style, with white walls and glistening white roof. Many movie people run down Hollywood in their private conversations the minute that they are out of the place, but not so Wayne, who genuinely likes the place, the climate and the work. "What's this supposed to represent," I asked Sylvia Sidney when I spotted her sitting alone one evening, "the lonely hearts club, or waiting for the evening male?" "No," she laughed, "only the price , one pays for going out with men who get long distance calls from Hollywood." Sylvia is doing very well in a class-conscious play called "The Gentle People" in which Franchot Tone plays a gangster. Sylvia doesn't like to go out a great deal at night and, in spite of all her stage and screen experience, still has an underlying shyness about photos. You can't get it over with soon enough to suit her. John Barrymore has come back to New York with his wife, taken an apartment on Central Park West, and has announced their intention of doing a play. They have chosen "My Dear Children" by Jerry Horwin. Brock Pemberton is to produce it sometime in the Spring. I got several unaware and several aware shots of them one night, and afraid I might have double REMOVE HAIR without razor, liquid QC paste or powder hVC Baby Touch Hair Remover is the new, amazing way to remove hair from arms, legs and face — quickly and safely.

When they were leaving I apologized for having made such a nuisance of myself and Barrymore replied with that line, which, if old, is at least still good. "My friend," he said, "when you boys cease taking photos of me, then I'll know I'm dead." Errol Flynn showed himself an adept rhumba and la conga dancer on his several recent visits to New York lately. One of the times his great friend, Bruce Cabot, was with him and they certainly covered the town, never dating the same girl twice. Bruce went down to Washington for the President's Ball and stayed at the Mayflower Hotel. After he left, the hotel found he'd forgotten to take half his clothes and also forgotten to leave a forwarding address. Errol did a bit of quick hopping between New York, Washington, Hollywood and Palm Beach where his wife, Lili Damita, had decided to take a house. There is a singer and golf player in Palm Beach named Tommy Goodwin, who is the double of Errol and who is always mistaken for him, much to their mutual embarrassment. Imagine the excitement, while Errol was still on the Coast, for the local yokels to see a man they thought was Errol, but who was really Tommy, dancing by Lili's table with a beautiful blonde without even nodding. I hear even Lili had a moment's start. Clare Boothe Luce, whose husband is editor of "Time" and "Life," and who herself is the authoress of those two stage hits, "The Women" and "Kiss The Boys Good-bye" gave a bang-up party at El Morocco one night. Her guests were all the cream of the theatrical crop with a few from the movies. Gladys Swarthout was in a gray woolen evening robe with an amazing crystal and emerald necklace. Freddie March was ill with a cold but wife Florence Eldredge wore a very off the shoulders brown silk dress with clips of diamonds and crystal. Others there included Eddie Garr, Robert Morley. Clifton Webb, Lillian Gish, Helen Chandler and Bramwell Fletcher and Orson Welles. The party didn't break up until a late hour and then not until everyone had had a supper of green turtle soup with dry sherry, and chicken Tetrazinni, umm-h-h! The Ralph Bellamys were other New York visitors. They manage to come East several times a year, usually staying at the Drake Hotel and having a grand time. Gracie Fields stayed some weeks and was constantly ou£ with that great comedian, Monty Banks. Without any doubt Gracie Fields is the most natural and unspoiled woman in the movie industry. Earlier in this article I mentioned the Fredric Marches. They, incidentally, are having the most tremendous success in the play "The American Way" and it may be some time before Freddie will return to the movies. I know they are planning to find a charming little house in Connecticut to live in during the hot summer months. After the failure of their first play they are naturally only too enchanted by the success of "The American Way." Soon Spring will be upon us and again to the East will come for brief visits hordes of refugees from Hollywood, and I hope new and interesting shots for you. HeducMe FAT e"S! She Lost • Don't just sit back and envy slender women' If many fat people only knew it their type of fat often may be reduced. It is possible that you ^n^of„these Pe°P'e If so, try the modern RE-DUCE-OIDS Way, like Mrs. L. R, Sehulze of Jackson, Mich. *She writes: "After being overweight for years I tried RE-DTJCE-OIDS and lost 55 lbs. I look 10 years younger I" Mrs Porter Tyler of Crandon, Wis., writes: "Lost 67 lbs., felt better from the start." Mrs. Gladysse Ryer, Reg. Nurse, Dayton, Ohio, writes: "Lost 47 lbs. with most satisfactory results!" Miss Elnora Hayden of Marion, Pa., writes: "Lost 30 lbs., left me looking fine." Miss Loretta Lee of Los Angeles writes: "My sister's physician recommended RE-DTJCE-OIDS. I lost 21 lbs. Feel -so much better." Many others write of their success with RE-DTJCE-OIDS. Since individuals vary, as do the causes of overweight, we do not claim that everyone using RE-DUCE-OIDS will receive the same splendid results. RE-DTJCE-OIDS are intended for the reductionof reducible fat, to be used only by adults who are otherwise healthy and normal, and whose fat is caused by a disturbance of some of the glands of internal secretion, known as hypothyroidism and accompanying subnormal metabolic rate, one of the common causes. In other words, when these glands do not aid the system in using a sufficient amount of calories, energy is not made available for the system to maintain proper functioning. Therefore, weight usually increases. RE-DUCE-OIDS are intended to aid these glands. RE-DUCE-OIDS must be used according to the easily understood full directions given on the label and pamphlet accompanying each package, which may be seen at your druggist's. No other claims are made, and as you can readily understand, we do not diagnose or prescribe. We believe that you will agree that RE-DUCEOIDS are worthy of a trial. Surely no woman would want to be burdened with reducible fat by choice. Don't let this ugly reducible fat rob you of your success and happiness! RE-DUCE-OIDS have been on the market for over twenty years, and millions have been sold. Testimonials tell of their results. If your druggist is out of REDUCE-OIDS, have him order from his wholesaler today. If still unable to obtain RE-DUCEOIDS, write at once, giving druggist's name, to American Medicinal Products, Inc., Dept. S539, 6630 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, Calif.
