LETTERS ¡FROM

EVE

NOW.

"How did you get on at Fanling yesterday, dear? When you drove off I thought you looked like a record round, but, of course,. ond never can tell. We were awfully late in getting away, and I always think that hanging about puts one off one's game. Fancy seeing Mrs. Phenacitin playing golf. What on earth next, because she is the last person in the world to take a spot of exercise. She never walks a yard without grumbling. I thought she looked quite smart, although it really is a pity that she will do her hair in that abominable way. Bungho's liver hasn't improved a little bit, and his game yesterday really was atrocious--he simply blamed everything for it, even said that I put him off his game.

I know what it was. The boy put out the wrong pair of shoes and they nearly pinched him to death, although he wouldn't admit that that was the reason. That is one thing I've learnt. Always wear Gordon's shoes, they're never wrong and all just too delightfully comfy for words--but then, you do don't you dear.

Stardom Doesn't Always Set Of Cap And Shoulder

Go To Youth:

SOME EXAMPLES · ·

The writer who coined the phrase, "Life Begins at Forty" ex- posed rather thoroughly the old logand that the choicest rewards go to youth. Particularly has it been a fetish fa motion pictures and that only the fresh cheeks dimples of the twenties are at- tractive, that gathering years moan disaster to сп actor or actress. Study of Alm statistics, however, proves that many of the "great" of the industry were olther failures until they passed forty, or at the beat, hadn't had more than a very slow start.

An amusing evening vogue of the moment in the "set" of cap and shoulder straps to match, the one, sketched being in black monkey fur.

Wallace Beery played in "Min and Bill" the latter part of 1930, his fortieth year. It made him a star. Previously he had many upr. and downs. By 1930 there were many who predicted his com. plete extinction.

Artist Paul Chabas is the man who painted September Morn, and he apparently nevar is going to haar the end of her..

"I wish you'd dispel the rumour that September Morn now is living In poverty," Chabas paid. "She Isn't. And I have't time to answer the hundreds of letters I get from Americans offering to help her.

"She is happily married to a wealthy French Industrialist and has three lovely children. I can not tell her name because she doesn't want to be embarrassed with remembrances of the days when she posed in the nude.""
