Foreign-Looking Leading Man
With "Patent-Leather" Hair
Going Into Discard.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, July 26.-The day
Of the ''sheik' in motion pictures is
gone, killed by the American type"
according to leading stars and direc-
tors of Hollywood.
The foreign-looking heroes have
lost their vogue, and fall styles in
leading men for the films demand
plain Americans.
The women who have to play oppo-
site the male stars Of the screen are
said to have had a great deal to do
with the passing of the sheik.
Said one: "'See America first Is my
slogan. and that goes for leading men
as we'll as for the Grand Canyon"
"Patent-leather hair and passionate
black eyes---worn half closed-are all
right in their places, but they are not
part of the makeup Of a real Ameri-
can," declared another star.
