MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, March % (NANA.).
"A new wave of reducing and beauti-
flying sweeps over the colony with in
creased vigor. Marie Provost. first of
its devotees to collapse under the strain
Of more stringent weight standards, is
confined to the hospital today.
The Diana type Of beauty demands
more of its protagonists than the boyish
figure of yesterday. The curving slen-
derness required by the new mode
means both diet and strenuous mas
sage.
A village maSseuse will guarantee to
reduce hips inches in three weeks.
But the proceeding, an extremely pain
full one and one requiring no end of
physical fortitude, must be accompanied
by a rigorous diet.
A Hollywood luncheon hour today re-
veals more divinely slim figures than
any city in the world. This is not a
rash statement Women pledged to the
cameras must keep 10 to Is pounds I'M
der the strictest athletic weight stand
ards.
Marie Provost has always been the
plump type of beauty. Her screen career
has represented long and bitter fight
against fat. The straight-line dresses
Of yesterday hid imperfections and de-
vtattonS In body contour But tight
beholder's entire attention to the body
silhouette.
This is the most radical reduction
wave to strike the colony since the 18-
day diet became a mania in Hollywood.
Then q grapefruit constituted a meal,
more or less, a cup of coffee being
thrown in often for good measure, and
o hard-boiled egg as sort of luxury.
Bess Meredith, one of the highest
paid woman scenario writers, was a
victim Of this diet wave. 1t required
two weeks disqualification to save her
life.
Barbara La Mari was undoubtedly a
victim to the get-thin craze of the
village. Destined by nature to be a
woman Of somewhat plump proportions,
she kept herself skeleton weight for the
cameras. The resulting anemia could
not be checked.
And Ntta Naldi forfeited a career be-
fore the cameras when her robust health

the weight required by her contract.

George Arliss in a talkie version of
"Old English" is one of the greatest
compliments yet paid the American
public.
That village producers, with their
knowledge of box-office, dare risk the
amount of money necessary to a cellu-
loid production on play of such high
caliber is sufficient evidence that Is
months of talkies have advanced the
taste of the moviegoing public.
Sex has been boX-office in the past
Two years ago no producer in the bust
ness would dare put out film with the
title Men Without Women"
The antics of one red-hot village star
have been the despair of her producers.
A riot throughout the country and the
recipient of fan mail galore, success has
not polished of any of the rough edges
she brought with her when she began
her career.
Nor has a fat salary check served to
surround her with any superficial gloss
She remains the Same-uncouth, and
with the vocabulary of a stevedore, the
laugh Of a coal miner, and unique ideas
as to what constitutes the social eve
ming.
Recently a get-together meeting was
held, in which the wives Of various
executives took themselves to task for
not encouraging the lass a little more,
and pledged themselves to social cam
paign which would draw her into higher
ways.
They gave her a heart-to-heart talk,
and told her she could travel with any
set she chose, so why not choose the
best? Then they threw a party. The
lady came, dressed like q Chinaman.
The evening began auspiciouSly, and the
wives, circulating through the assem-
bly,, smiled Sagely at one another and
flashed silent I-told-you-so's.
They gathered together to discuss the
successful opening of their campaign,
and a bit later were interrupted by
volumes of masculine laughter. Glanc-
ing supposedly toward its source, what
should they see but group Of their
husbands crowded about the lady's chair
the while she RECALLED them with some
of her choicest stories.
