It attracts and holds attention as noth- ing else will. “Long ago the directors in Hollywood found out that no girl could hope to win out on the screen unless she has the kind of skin that makes you fairly gasp with admiration. The close-ups, you know, are taken under glar- ing lights that would show up mercilessly even a tiny blemish. “And now that the talkies are here, there are more close-ups to face than ever, so you may be sure we all take mighty good care of our skin!” To Keep Skin Baby-Smooth “I can't remember who began it,” this charming star goes on, “‘but now almost every girl in Hollywood uses the same method I do—regular care with Lux Toilet Soap. We find it most refreshing. “Indeed it is Hollywood's fa- vorite soap. So naturally when girls write to ask me the secret of being attractive, I'd like to say to every one: ‘Keep your skin really lovely—smooth and flawless. This is all-important to any girl.
