 Nose Is Important
 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 mo- ton pictures is represented by "Whoopee.' This picture, produced by Samuel Goldwyn from the stage Aiuoitdi oildoil Ol tilC odillC lldiilS, brings to the screen for the first time the results of MT. Ziegfeld's connoisseurship of feminine beauty
 And according to him, noses are the most important considerations in beauty.
 What Ziegfeld Says
 Eyes, hair, complexion and fig ure she must have, of course" he says, speaking of the ideal beauty "A beautiful mouth is not abso- lutely 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 the other per- sons nose first"
 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. For anyone who is going to do stage dancing, an excellent figure cannot be dispensed with.
 Great Assembly of Beauty
 One of the greatest assemblies of feminine beauty ever seen was gathered together for this Goldwyn Ziegfeld production of "Whoopee." /" Five thousand applicants were in terviewed, comprising the prize beauties of Hollywood and New York, the centers of beauty in nation known the world over for beautiful women. The combined of Samuel Goldwyn and Florenz ziegfeld was guarantee of infallible selections.
 Then the cast had to be properly 
 Many of the costumes designed by John Harkrider, in charge of costuming "Whoopee," cost well to- ward a thousand dollars and had to be manufactured as carefully as a wedding dress.
 220 StetsOn Hats
 The mere scale of the produc- ton produced the necessity for getting such items as AS pairs of black and white cowboy leggings exactly alike, 220 Stetson hats of the same make and patterns, cost ing $50 apiece and 250 Colts re- an order which caused the Colt Arms company to wonder who was starting a revolution in South ern California.
