PERSONALITY

Beauty Is Only Secondary

PRE-VIEW

Here in the make-up departTM. ment, we don't marely put coa- metics on faces." declared, Mel Berns who is master of the gresse paint at RKO Radio, and who has glorided the beauty of such glamourous screen stars as Ka- tharine Hepburn, Ginger Regers, Ann Harding, Irene Danne scores of others...

"Rather, we deal almost entire- ly with personality. The fact That it is generally radiated through at least one of three fea- (utes, the eyes, eyebrow

mouth, means that we have to decide where the most personal- ity lies and bring out that feature. through proper make-up."

"Then beauty itself is of miner importance?" he was asked.

"Yes, if you mean the beauty which was standard a few years back. Show ̈me ̃ ̄a!"Actress with and, rine times

Berns works on the natural- ness theory in his art the trim- ming of an eyebrow, bringing out the line of a mouth, coaxing hatr into ita natural Hne.

DIFFERENT THEORIES

"Of course," he explained, "like anything else, there are differ ent thories of make-up,`and, al- though they all undoubtedly have their good points, it's my per- vonal optrison that freak' eye-

brows, unnatural mouths, ar strange hairdresses detract from, rather than add to, the person- ality of an individual.

"The nim-goer is all too apt to häve "his eyes riveted on some -overly-played-up feature to the extent that he is not fully con- scious of the player as a complete unit"

With some players, Berns de- clared that more than the usual' caution has to be maintained in order not to spot the illusion of complete naturalness. He cited such actresses as. Barbara Stan- wyck, Anne Shirley and Heather. Angel in this class.

"Miss Angel, for example, pos- sesses such delicate features that anything more than the minimum of make-up throws her fresh and rather unsophisticated personal- Ity completely off-balance." She wears just enough lipstick to help. bring out the "expression of her Ups. Her eyes, naturally lovely. need little done to them. We keep her "eyebrows practically as na- ture intended them. Can you see her with the wing-like eyebrows of Princess Natalie Paley? On Miss Paley they are perfect for they conform with the odd struc ture of her face.".
