HAROLD LLOYD PICTURE

Paucity Of ideas Is one aiImen
i, of the cinema from which Harol,
Lloyd never appears to suffer. The
great comedian Is given credit for
developing more new comedy themes
situations and ideas than any other
man on the screen today. Hts
supply of new material seems mex
haustible. This will be quite ap
parent TO the host Of his admirers
who see him in HFor Heavens
sakelv his first Paramount release,
which is booked for Wednesday and
Thursday December 8 and Q at the
Pythian Theatre.
Lloyd is enabled 10 maintain the
pace he has set for individuality
because Of one thing: He never
makes his story idea fit the sit
uations, or "gags" as the funny bits
Of business he portrays are called
IN cinema parlance, but makes his
gags" and situations mould into the
general theme Of his story. For
his reasOn, he cannot use stock
Material. and thereby avoids the rut
nto which 30 many comics fall
The comedian is known to have
.arried in his mind for several years
,rcat comedy "gags" TO use them
MY when a situation developed int
ghich they could be logically and
placed.

BEAUTY CHATS
Cool Powders.

Most women consider bath powder
an expensive luxury to be used only
by the rich. Certainly the shops have
that idea. for bath powders are sold
in larTe beautifully decorated boxes.
or in ribbon.tied glass Jars. Actually
bath powders are so easy to make
that every woman can afford this ex.
ira dainty touch to her toilet.
A nice bath powder must be cooling,
refreshing. antiseptic. To achieve this
combination the foundation should be
a vegetable starch, and a large proper
ton should he bortc acid powder. a
vegetable starch is made from rice. po-
tatoes or wheat, the finest grade being
rice starch, which is the basis Of all
really first class face powders. But the
word rice powder" has become so
generally used that 1t is almost a class
name. Most OF the rice starch sold is
made from potatoes or wheat, it Is
much cheaper, and for bath powders
quite as good.
You can make an excellent bath
powder from one ounce Of bortc acid
powder and four ounces of this mex
pensive rice powder. You can make
one just as good. and even cheaper,
by mixing one ounce of boric acid
powder and four ounces OF ordinary
cooking cornstarch such as you use
for puddings. II you want a powder
that clings better TO the skin add an
ounce or two of scented talcuIn. Tai
cum Is powdered French chalk. If you
want perfumed bath powder tinted
