In a nim star's life there is little time for elaborate dieting, for lengthy beauty culture or for hours of gym-y- nastics. What's more, stors can't afford to starve them;" selves to slimness, because that road leads to haggard faces and frayed nerves..

Health and Beauty Methods

S

OUND common sense is the foundation of health and beauty methods at Hollywood and Elstree. Fresh air whenever possible, sensible food, scrupulous cleansing of the skin, and, of course, physical jerks. Sparkling eyes and a beautiful figure are. often the assets which lead to a name in coloured lights.

Nearly all the stars (and the starlets, too!). have. their. own pet daily, dozen, and here we show you one of these special sets of exercises-the one Priscilla Lawson pins lier faith to..

You probably saw this young Paramount player last year in "O'Riley's Luck," or in "Flash Gordon." She has A graceful supple figure, bright laughing eyes, and sho puts a lot of her health and looks down to her "Jerks."

Actually, here are three exercises to start with. Look at the photographs and follow the movements carefully and smoothly-jerkincas should be avoided.

As I have said before, practising to muslo la advisable, nol only because it's more fun than in grim alience, but because it induces rhythmical- movement, which is important.

In America they teach physical culture on the radio, and every exercise is accompanied by a gay, swinging tune.

Start off with breathing. Long, deep breaths which fill every bit of your lungs with fresh air. Exhale the air completely after each breath,

Hold your breath for the fourth bar, exhale for the next three (the nith, sixth and seventh), and pause on the eighth bar. You'll get a "swing" this way.
