six most beautiful women?
 Ever since the motion picture in- dustry began the battle over beauty ihas ragged merrily in Hollywood where the most beautiful women in lthe world are assembled. Numerous girls have been presented for beauty honors, but seldom has 1t been possi- ble to get even any two "experts" to lagree on certain one.
 The greatest difficulty. in making a selection is to determine exactly what constitutes beauty. Should physical features alone be consid- tered, or should personality, disposi- tion and ability to wear clothes en- hard one.
 But NEA Service and The Wa Iterbury Democrat wanted "The Six Most Beautiful Women of the Talkies" selected and now this has been done with the aid of a special board of judges composed of six of lHollywood's most noted directors, each an unquestioned judge of beau- lty. Of course, you may not agree with their selections-in fact, they had hard time agreeing among lthemselves-but if you know of any better method of choosing beauties, I'd like to know it.
 The famous directors on the NEA Service Democrat board are: ] Mack Sennett, Josef von Stern {, berg, George Fitzmaurice, Mervyn lLeRoy, Edward Sutherland and Allan Dwan. Each submitted his choice of the six outstanding beau ties, then the six girls receiving the highest number of votes were de- clared elected"
 Marlene Dietrich!
 This blond German actress is the first beauty that we shall discuss, not because the judges decreed her "the most beautiful of the six" (they lcertainly weren't rash enough to at tempt any such distinctions as be- tween the sixD but merely because the story of somebody has to be told first.
 | "Arother Garbo!" was the word passed around when Miss Dietrich Iarrived in Hollywood from Ger many. Everyone immediately start ed comparing her with this mys- Iterious and aloof Greta. In the Iopinion of this writer such com lparison was entirely unwarranted While each is g. great actress, they lare entirely different both from a standpoint of appearance and per- sonality.
 They are no more to be compared than are Charlie Chaplin and Har' old Lloyd, both comedians but how totally different.
 Marlene is a discovery of Josei lyon Sternberg's-at least insofar a. | s, lopposite Emil Jannings in "The Blue Angel" which he went to German, direct. In her he saw grea and beautiful dramatic actress wht lcould inject a note of humor at jus |the proper moment. With i've year contract she came to this coun |try to reap fame and riches such al she never had known in Germany. There is in our opinion only ont way in which the Misses Dietrich land Garbo can be likened-botf shun publicity But they have differ ent reasons for doing so. To Garbt lit is purely business. Largely be- Icause 1t is impossible for news Ipaper or magazine writer to see hei she has remained good copy all these years.
 For a short time after Marlene larrived here she faced interviewers almost every day. And her conver- sation with them centered chiefly laround the young daughter whom she left in Germany with her hus- band.
 "Please don't talk so much about your daughter-it Is bad publicity, ladmonished studio representatives.
 "All right, if I can't talk about my baby won't talk at all." re- piled the actress. And she has stuck to that.
 doubt if any actress ever at ltained stardom as quickly as Mar llene Dietrich. One picture was all she needed.
 Immediately after her arrival she was cast in Morocco" co-featured with Gary Cooper and Adolph Men iou. Unknown and unseen by the American public prior to that pie lure. she became an instant box office hit and was starred in her second production. "Dishonored.'
