EUROPEAN FILM FANS
WISH GRACEFUL GIRLS
Men and Women Tired of Seeing Ihe
Old And Famous Actors
Want Youth

Berlin, July 81. - Young women
with graceful hands and feet are now
being sought by European film direc-
tors in their efforts to compete with
American films. American pictures
long ago made it difficult for the film
studios of central Europe to market
pictures abroad, or even at home. II
the herones were not young and
beautiful.
The practice of featuring famous
actresses regardless Of their looks has
gone into the discard. For a long
time the German and Swedish NOV
ing picture producers chung tenacious
ly to the theory that histrionic art was
the chief feature of film, but today
they are looking for youth and beauty
of figure, as we'll as beauty of face,
Europe's tired business man wants to
see girl shows, and he wants youth In
his musical comedies and movies
alike. As a result German movie
actresses are all dieting.
There has been also marked
change in the types of footwear popu-
lar on the German stage. Long,
slender shoes on American and Eng
lish models are making their appear
ance. The short vamped shoe. which
central Europe used to believe made
the foot look small has been aban-
doned.
Shoe shops everywhere are sdver-
tising real American styles, and it is
no longer Possible to identify Ameri-
can men and women Immediately by
their shoes.
Russian women have beautiful
hands and feet, and have found great
favor with the film photographers
who are constantly on the lookout for
grace even in the humblest members
of their mobs

ACCUSED BY. A WOMAN
New Bedford Man Has Police Call
Her to Prove He is All Right--She
Orders His Arrest as Car Thief.

Stamford, July 21.-William Pima
of New Bedford, Mass, under arrest
on charge of stealing an automobile
in Philadelphia, got into the lookup
here through his own efforts to prove
that he was above suspicion. The po-
lice detained him last night to ques-
tion him about a machine he was
driving. He offered to call up a wom-
an in Philadelphia to identify him.
An officer accompanied Pima to the
telephone and after reaching the
woman Pima asked her to tell the Of
ficer that he was all right. The wom-
an, however, told the officer that Pima
should be held and that the machine
was stolen Then a man, who said he
was a detective, came in on the wire
and asked the Stamford officer to
hold Pima for him. 1t appeared that
the detective was making inquiries of
the woman just as Pima called by tele-
phone.
