Many q Beauty Wins BY A Nose

Many a Beauty Wins BY A Nose
Anybody who thinks that eyes or
lips are important to a beautiful
girl Is barking up the wrong tree,
according to Florenz ziegfeld,
world-famous glorifier Of the
American girl, whose first venture
into motion pictures is represent
ed by "Whoopee", starring Eddie
Cantor, which comes to the Ok
ford Theatre Sunday and Monday.
This picture, produced by Samuel
Goldwyn from the stage musical
smash Of the same name brings to
the screen for the first time the re-
suits Of Mr.. Ziegfeld's connoisseur-
ship of feminine beauty.
And according to him, noses are
the most important considerations
in beauty. Eyes, hair, complexion
and figure she must have of
course, he says, speaking Of the
ideal beauty, "a beautiful mouth Is
not absolutely necessary, but her
chin Is second in importance to her
nose. A girl may have all the other
things that make for beauty, but
she must have a good nose before
she may be called beautiful. think
we naturally look at other persons
noses first. zoe4
Good legs are important too, he
thinks, but in this day Of longer
skirts, the Importance they had
two or three years ago Is on the
wane.
