STAES are busy people, From morning till night they ATO----- engaged on flims-that is provided they are on location. But even if they are not engaged before cameras, spotlights and studio directors, they still have their hands full reading över film „ scripts, delving into history books just to acquire the right atmes- phere for a particular picture, keeping up their film publicity, and taking a vadation.
Perhaps you do not think that a vacation is really part of their business It is No play and all work makes the stars tire easily and when they tire...well, that means a closed chapter for the star concerned.
Take that young actress Fay Wray tor example. Remember her in "King Kong" recently? Well, Fay Wray is one of the hardest worked stars; perhaps you "don't see all her pictures, but she makes many of 'em. And yet she manages to keep young and charming with no signs of over-work or film strain at all,

JOE BROWN. IN "THE GLADIATOR”
In the film which opens to-day at the King's Theatre, Joe E. Brown, the cave-mouthed comedian makes his greatest appearance! A haman guinea pig, unwittingly turned into a superman by the scientific magic of à han-pecked college professor, Mr. Brown'a role is like nothing he has ever before: portrayed. It is different, gloriously exciting and hilariously furiny. And Mr. Brown supplies the proper balance of whimsy and Lokum | which makes The Gladiator" "be- llevable in spite of the trummorous intent of its Columbia technical.

TRIPLE ROLE
Fay, às most everyone knows. is one of Holywood's busiest young women both on the ..... screen and off. She plays # triple role in real life: 10- tross, wife and mother. Each "part" demands enormous time and energy. In acting alone she once achieved the record of appearing la 13 pictures lo as. many months-and the plotures were big ones, with Fay as the lead.

Explaining why she seldom needs a regular vacation, Fay said, "I have followed the same routine for years.
"After making my first few pictures, 1 realzed that acting was pretty hard work-not so hard f one did nothing else but too demanding if one ever hoped to have any home Mfe too. So I worked ont a rough set of rules. They might not, as they stand, mean much to any-one else. But they have a special significance for me, I try to follow them even when resting."
SET OF RULES
The rules are:

(2) No drinking
(3) Stop whatever you're doing before you tire.
(4) No temperamental bursts-they wear one out.

(7) Relax completely about twice daily for 15-minute periods.
"Write those out," the actress urged women, "paste them on your mirror, and you'll find them more useful than cosmetica, 'massages and such for preserving health and beauty."
