THINGSACTOPS
REGARD AS
JINXES

Superstitions of the vaudeville
stage come in for one Of the most
interesting episodes in William
Haines' starring picture. Excess
Baggage which is now playing
at Loew's Palace.
For example. Neely Edwards,
the ''hoofer' in the production,
never fails to spit on the wings be-
fore he starts on the stage to do
his act. TO fail to do so would
result In certain misfortuneor so
he believes.
Haines as the sIack-rope walker
has his own personal superstition
that he doesn't dare to do his act
unless his wife is waiting at the
foot of the rope to watch him do
ing his slide for life. " Without
her he knows he will fall.
Many other old superstitions of
the stage are shown IN the pic
ture. For example. in most other
walks of life black cat is con-
sidered the height Of misfortune
but when a black cat walks across
the stage it is considered the
height of good luck.
According to research conducted
by o-Goldwyn-Mayer before
making the picture, no theater
dressing room shown Is permitted
to have Grapes in it. Grapes in
dressing rooms are considered
very unlucky.
1t is also considered unfortunate
to whistle in a dressing room.
All trunks used by the actors who
are supposedly theatrical artists.
must be square, "camel-back"
trunk is unlucky.
When a company rehearses, the
last word of every act is never
spoken until after the premiere
performance. It would jinx the
show.
An excellent example of actors
beliefs in superstition was afforded
in Hollywood while Excess Bag
gage" was in course of production.
1t seems that certain Holly
wood theater went into bank
ruptcy. All the actors knew the
reason There were peacocks
painted on the front curtain and
it doomed the house to failure I'M

enough the new management did

This picture reaches high
emotional point when Lieutenant

down over the German lines, but
steals a German fighting ma
chine and flies toward his own
field.
The picture is satisfactory even
to an aviator. The Germans send

bombers, which in real life are
American machines. at the suicidal

TELLS
SECRETS OF
MAKEUP

Irene Bordoni, the popular
French star, who will be seen
at Polls Theater beginning Sun
day night in Martin Browns
new music play, Paris" has de-
cided ideas on the subject of
makeup, both for the stage and
for the street, which are the de-
SPAR of the various beauty-lo-
ton manufacturers.
Il have been asked many times
by my friends to give them the
names of the various creams,
lotions and beauty washes which
| use on the stage. People whom
/ have never met write me, and
manufacturers are always sug-
costing that / try and iT1dOrse
their products. When tell them
that my favorite skin food is
white vaseline, they think that
am joking.
Contrary to many opinions.
vaseline does not grow hair on
the face. Aside from my own
personal experience, am sure
Of this by the number OF bald
heads can see in the audience
at every performances. Ii 1t
would grow hair on the face 1t
would grow hair on the head, is
it not. So"
Miss Rordoni's nightly makeup
is an interesting exhibition. First
comes the vaseline, and this Is
worked into the pores. What
is not absored is wiped away
with a soft cloth. and then that
stanch supporter of Thespis
comes out of the makeup box,
grease paint. Miss Bordoni's is
especially made for her and Is a
family colored flesh tone. This
is applied and then comes a
black crayon, with which She
draws an arrowhead at the outer
corner of each eye. This ex.
tends the apparent outline of the
lashes and gives that wide-eyed,
wondering look which is so typi-
cal of this stars stage appear
ance. Creamy white powder fol-
lows.
1t is an interesting feature of
Ia Bordoni's makeup that she
does not use the customary hot
cosmetic on her eyes. Instead
of this she uses layer after layer
of mascara.
'1f one has high check bones"
Miss Bordoni was asked how
should the rouge be applied to
make them less prominent"
ION the stage" she answered,
rouge offsets the shadows cast
by the lights. You must rouge
the high cheek bones. since the
light will cause them to recede.
On the street it is the other
way. II the bones are high they
must be rouged very lightly or
not at all or the contour will BE-
brought out more plainly"

Finally her father replied some

nothing by impatient teasing.

Beavers Clearly Animals

Beavers are wonderful housekeepers,
clean and orderly. Their beds, which
are on the floor q few inches above
the water level, are usually strewn
with bits of bark, grass or roots left
from their food, and while they are
always damp, they are clean and well
drained. There is no unpleasant,
murky odor to their beds. Fresh food
is constantly being brought In and
eaten and the refuse carried out. The
bed of the newly born beaver differs
from that of the adult in that 1t Is
softer, being made of grass. leaves.
