reads:

Take out tine lines that care has set,
Obliterate ali traces of fret,
Remodel men grown old and gray,
Make them LOOK sprigntly, young and gay,

"A good actor has as much system about
his makeup" sid he, "as a success

Rer against time, even il he knows that the
end will find him beaten. There are lines
along the size OF the nose, from the side Of
the eye down to the lower part OF the ohses
and down along the ear, which an actor

While horizontal Lines along the cheek are

ing directions on how youthful face IL
made which quote from the book Of q
make up artist:
Smear the face well with what in the pro-
| fexsion Is called COCOA butter, or the ordi-
nary vsseline. Rub the face we'll with a
towel, and then begin the application OF

chin. The task of blending the rouge ID
considered a very delicate operation by the
actor. It must be rubbed smoothly and
gently over the cheeks on either side OF the
face, conforming as nearly as possible TO
the contour Of the face. Rub IL up clio Q to

nostrilS aud toward the ears, high on TO the

spots have become blooming cheeks.

ance of high cheek bones, put dark red high
on them and lighter red In front, with dark
red on all protesting points and lighter red
on the sunken places.
II the face ia too full and plump put 9
red on 1t, which invariabls makes IL appear
smaller. Put the rouge near the nostrils
but avoid extending 10 too near thu cheek

Now then, so come to your prominent
nose. You wsGt IL to look smaller. Well
here is the way an actor does it. He extends
the rouge from the cheeks to the sidss OF
the nose, but not TOO much. In fact, he il
