MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 28.— There are two kinds of movie stars, the type who finish work and look for an- other job and the ones who complete a picture and trek off to Florida for a | rest. Estelle Taylor comes in the latter . 'She has been playing the lead in a film opposite Lon Chaney and, the last reel made, she wiil see if the palms are still doing sentinel duty at Palm Beach. Her Hollywood home, on Los Feliz ‘boulevard, is in the most exclusive resi- dence district. Cecil de Mille is a neigh- bor. De Mille is hard to work on a talkie— ®& modern picture of modern people in a modern situation. The name, appro- priately, i “Dynamite.” De Mille has gone back to ladies whose gowns make you gasp, and genties whose antics make you gurgle. Biblical tales end religious propaganda have not been the type of thing to enable him to re-| main on the same footing on which the society spectacle placed him. There is a demand for nickel-in-the- | #lot machines. Local purveyors of such furnishings discover suddenly that they are 18 to far different use than they have enjoved of yore. ‘They may still ornament drug stores, cigar counters and Tia Juana joy pal- aces, but they have ¢ome into their own in the Hollywood drawing room, where they are making much whoopee for the guests. If the lady is dull one can always say, “Le's play the 1’ old machine. Eh?” And if the gentie becomes overcom- plimentary the lady can silence him quite effectually by suggesting the gal- loping nickels as a bit of diversion. In a weak moment I wrote a sto about_artificial eyelashes and my daily mail has increased as a result. 1t seems that girls from all quarters of the globe are just panting to get into movie lashes. But movie lashes, made on movie lots by experts, differ widely parlors and drug stores. Another thing, I wonder if the girls realize that when wearing them they must forfeit a priceless prerogative of women: They just can't indulge in a good cry. Montague Love is known as a villain. In the pictures. But in private life he's quite a dashing Britisher, with a de- cided flair for the niceties of life and an accent which is the despair of all talkie-ambitious. Last night he donned his evening ap- parel and went over to Los Angeles, where an English company is doing Gilbert & Sullivan to the vast delight of the movie colony, who are flocking in great numbers to hear English as she should be spoken. Montague Love was having a lovely time. Until the woman in the row shoulder and catch his intense counte- nance. The lady fainted.

It frequents both shores of | the Atlantic, is found far inland on lakes and rivers. I have seen the her- ring gull on Lake Superior no less than on the Mediterranean. One need not go so far, however. Any time, from the Key Bridge, you can see them falling and rising, or paddling about in the still icy waters, apparently as com- fortable as old cats by a fire. Good old Thomas Nuttall, our most graceful writer on ornithology, could not find a single pleasant thing to say of the herring gull. As he says, “they are resentful and clamorous when a) proached, screaming or barking with a souna like akak kakak.” It is also true | that they are disposed to eat dead fish, | garbage and sewage—not a delightful diet, any way you look at it, except that as scavengers they deserve our gra | tude. If I mistake not, the gull is pra | tected by law for this very reason.

Please | suggest some different w of dressing my hair. (2) My measurements are: Ankle, 9 inches: calf, 13; thigh, 15 hips, 32; waist, 29'.: bust, 33. I weigh 1110 pounds. Am I too heavy? ! DOROTHY. | Answer—(1) A pretty way to dress | your hair wou'd be to divide 1t from jear to ear. Arrange the back section {in three or four long curls and fasten | them together at the nape of your neck 'with a long barrette. Brush the top | section of hair straight back from your | face, curl the ends in three or four i ringlets and fasten them together with anothe | crown of your head. This will give y | two tiers of curls behind. Another be- coming_coiffure has a part on the left side, which divides the a small left-hand section and a Iz i right-hand section. Brush the right section dow to the right. Brush the I small left plece of hair back of your left ear and around to the back. Now {comb and brush all the back hair jaround to the right side of your head and make it into a cluster of long curls hanging in front of your right shoulder. Fasten with a barrette. ¢2) You forgo to state your height. If you are between 5 feet and 5 feet. 3 inches in height, your present, weight is good. If you are taller than 5 feet 3 inches, you are under- | weight. ~Your thigh seems very small, | but. the other measurements are fair for | a girl of your age.

I have been using a commercial henna shampoo that gives my lifeless hair a remarkable red tint. Will it make it auburn in time? (2) I use as a skin bleach the juice of one lemon and two tablespoonfuls of peroxide. Is this harmful? (3) I have dark hazel eyes, a light olive skin and dark-brown hair. What colors are becoming? MARCIA. Answer.—(1) The lifeless look in your { hair is doubtless due to lack of groom- ing. You should brush and comb your hair until it is glossy. Keep it free from dust by regular shampooing and scalp massage. Wash your brush and comb twice a week. Add a few drops of am- monia in the water in which you rinse the bristles of the brush and the comb and your hairpins. I do not think the henna rinse will harm your hair. Camomile tea or peroxide is used by hairdressers to make brown hair turn auburn, I do not know whether there is anything harmful in the particular ampoo you are using. The pure henna is not injuriou: (2) The skin bleach you are using is too strong and will tend to make your skin yellow and parched in appearanc | Add two tablespoonfuls of glycerin and jenough rose water to make a pint of liquid.
