INF Miss Alice Joyce, in private
~ life. Mrs. James B. Regain, Jr.,
Miss Neysa McMein, famous illus
traitor, said: IF / were to die and go
to heaven, all / would ask for would
be to be made like Alice Joyce"
Curious to find out just exactly what
would inspire one woman to request
as the reward of a life's labor, to be
remodeled after the design of another
of her sex, | sought out Miss Joyce
and caught her about to embark On a
dress sightseeing jaunt. That glorious
pastime which never pals nor wearies,
or when it does there is every indica-
ton that hope were well abandoned.
So over the phone we planned to
meet. And the grave was not our goal.
No, there was an opening in town.
One of those ultra fraternity" estab-
lishments where, unknown, you are
suspected of concealing burglars tools
like pencil and sketch pad and ar eye
for detail. And where the. 'aughty
hostess shoots you a glance from be-
meath her plucked out eyebrows which
translates itself into: 'Out with all of
them, including your eye"
Arriving there first. / perforce must
wait in the outer reception hall where
passed Il stream of pretty ladies, who
upon showing cards or else giving the
Masonic grip Or whatever distinguishes
the ms from the outs, were privileged
to ascend the spiral staircase to the
tune of Poor Butterfly.
Has Lovely Eyes
My crude p~hilosophizing upon the
poor butterflies and the $3.50 dresses
you want without the disconcerting 0
after the 5, were interrupted fortu-
nately by the appearance of one who
walked with a brisk mir, a smart step,
a stunning little black satin turban
around the crown of which wound two
rolls of satin, ending in two jaunty
streamers on the right side, a dark blue
tailored dress, dark stockings and pat
ent feathers, d pair of arrestingly love-
" eyes and a face illuminated with ex-
preston. 1t was Miss Joyce. as I
suspected she must be, bringing along
with her many perfectly good reasons
why one might wish to be refashioned
and remodeled after her exclusive de-
sign.
Miss joyce is five feet seven inches.
with lark brown hair, beautifully
arched brows, and a pair of eyes which
could easily inspire the same flame
of devotion as those of the lady who
touched off the immortal Drink to me
only with thine eyes"
Particularly lovely are her eyes,
hazel brown in color, with the light
of health and a love of life in them.
Her full, warm mouth discloses beau
tiful aver white teeth, and lovely con-
tour of cheek and chin rounds out the
picture.
She was quite tanned from a sum
mer spent at the %seashore, where she
had gone in for golf and swimming, the
first time in her life she had had a real
chance at outdoor sports, heretofore
having had to report early and late for
studio work. But now become a stout
swimming devotee, having tasted the
fruits of this most excellent form of
exercise, Immediately she got in town
she signed up with a gymnasium with
swimming pool attached.
Has Charming Poise
There is n lovely natural wave to
Miss Joyce's hair, which ordinarily she
wears parted in simplest fashion on
the side and drawn into a knot at the
back. Sometimes for evening wear she
does it up into a modernized French
roll. which is most becoming. But she
is the type whom you could imagine
in any style Of couture, without its
changing the appearance any, so def
mite is the charm of her expression,
the perfection of her nose, and the
beauty of her face.
She weighs about 125 pounds, which,
with her five feet seven and the even
distribution of her weight. provides a
graceful, beautifully rounded figure.
She has charming polse and ease Of
movement.
You think Of Miss Joyce in terms
of warmth, whereas another beauty
- -s~ a--+ - ~AH ~ I3-4 .n-2
still another an atmosphere Of too
great vitality. You are not conscious
of her dress, for instance, nor of her
hair, nor of any u particular feature.
Yet YOU are conscious of a vast charm
throughout. She is all in the picture,
so to sepak. If one may be excused
for the use of the word which I'M
fortunately has been frightfully abused.
although in its proper sense none other
carries the meaning as we'll, she is a
lady in looks, in dress, in manner. You
| do not think of her as wearing any
particular type of dress, say. because
you feel she would still be lovely Alice
Joyce in any style, lavender and old
lace, ultra evening dress or sports
clothes.
/ think she would be the last person
in the world to believe that any one
would crave to be fashioned after her.
Tries Out Everything
II would like to be a more distinctive
type" she confided to me. Il would
love to be able to find a color, a style,
a perfume, anything to be individual,
like Catherine Calvert, for instance.
who wears red or black or white ex-
clusiyely. I'm not individual and / love
that in people. i just try out every
thing that comes along, from SOAP to
dress"
She named other girls whose beauty
she admired. Dolores, whom she
thought the most marvellous looking
creature she ever saw. Il have seen
her come into n room and pale every
one present, so superb she is"
Quit unlike a certain young person
whom i interviewed in California and
with somewhat Of a beauty reputation
who. when I asked her what woman
she thought most beautiful on the
screen, looked awfully panied. and
suffered, "Why, | never thought OF
that"
But it does take more than a pretty
face and figure to make a beautiful
