HOLLYWOOD, May II (N.AN.A).-
Laura Hope Crews, foraging in San
Francisco for movie talent, reports sew
eral promising finds, garnered from
among the theatrical clubs and small
theater movements in the northern part
Of the State.
Now, strange as it may seem, in view
of the fact that every incoming train
brings its quota of the young, hand
some and ambitious. Hollywood insists
that there is dearth of leading man
material.
So the venture of Laura Hope Crews,
which may carry her to farther fields
than. these in which she is now work.
ing. Is for the express purpose of finding
everybody's Romeo.
Time was when every little stock COM
pany had leading man who slipped
Rraciously from the role Of Sydney Car
ton In the tale of Two Cities" to the
lead ina"Brewster's Millions" and so on
through the season, being convlncingly
romantic in them all, devastating the
feminine element of the entire town.
That Hollywood which points out
Bob Montgomery as one of the sole sur
vivors of the leading man type among
its many handsome young genties is
desperately starting on a hunt to find
more like Bob
Edmund Lowe, it points out, is a
leading man type, but of late he is be-
coming identified with the successful
man-about-town because he is pro-
crossing in years little beyond the re-
mantle Romeo type. His waist line is
q good as any village Romeo's, how
ever.
Robert Ames is quoted as another
leading man type who is becoming a
bit too successful and established look

The young brother of Buddy Rogers

been one of the outstanding heart
wrenchers Of the industry. Young girls
adore his limpid eyes and dangerous
smile.
But it seems they are only part of
his following. Middle-aged ladies have

the youth of the country are legion.
The young men of America find 1t
easier to watch Buddy Rogers of Olathe,

Scenery on Postage STAMPS.

The French government has started
to boost its architectural and natural
attractions by depicting them on post
age stamps. Engravings for this pur-
pose have been made of churches, mon
uments and scenic sights in different
parts ok the country.
Three of the new stamps are in cir
culation, the latest OF which, the 20
franc stamp, represents the Point Du
Gard, the Roman acqueduct near Avig-

bridge at La Rochelle. while the Island

VOU are urged to try Listerine Tooth Paste,
Il made by the makers of Listerine and in
every way worthy of the Listerine name.
We ask you particularly to note how swiftly
1t removes stubborn discolorations, tartar
plaques and fermenting food particles.
Note, too, after few brushings how white,
lustrous and brilliant your teeth become. Such
results are due to modern cleansing and pol
ishing agents present in this unusual denti-
frlce. Many years of study preceded their
selection. Their purpose is to cleanse speedily
but with absolute safety. They do this be-
cause they are harder than tartar and conse-

quently remove it. But they are softer than
the precious enamel, and so are harmless
to it.
Listerine Tooth Paste not only gives you
ideal cleansing but definitely improves the
hygiene of the mouth, for it also contains the
antiseptic essential oils of Listerine with their
marked potency to inhibit the growth Of
dangerous bacteria in the mouth.
Incidentally, at 2st Lsterine Tooth Paste
