answer TO the question asked
in the song entitled Brown
i i Eyes Why Are You Blue?"
Results of survey just con-
Guided show that the chances OF
brown-eyed girls making good in mo-
ton pictures are slim compared to those
OF their blue-eyed sisters.
Tie usual odds against brown eyes
are shown in figures compiled at the
Paramount studios which disclose that
OF fifteen contract actresses there, only
one has brown eyes. while twelve are
possessors of orbs of blue. The two
remaining actresses have gray and
green eyes respectively.
Virtually the same overwhelming per-
centage in favor OF blue eyes is found at
other studios. according to the survey.
For every famous actress with brown
eyes, there are six or seven with blue.
Most directors and photographers are
Of the opinion that the popularity OF
blue eyes on the screen is caused by
their Photographic qualities. All other
things being equal, such as beauty, per-
sonalty and dramatic ability, the blue
eyed girl can get over" her express
sions more effectively than the others
because blue, particularly light blue,
registers to better advantage in the
camera.
Josef Won Sternberg is said to be
Of the opinion that Marlene Dietrichs
light blue eyes play an important part
in registering her personality on the
screen. In Blonde Venus" her latest
starring production, the color Of her
eyes is sharply accentuated in several
scenes by dazzling platinum blonde
wig.
Although blue eyes outnumber al:
others. brown has not been a handicap
to many outstanding stars.
Janet Gaynor, Clara Bow. joan
Crawford. Bebe Daniels, Dolores Del
Rio and Lupe Velez are only few OF
the actresses whose brown eyes have
in no way hindered their screen ca
reers. In many instances, certain
shades of brown photograph with an
attractiveneSs which outshines blue.
Claudette Colbert, only brown-eyed
contract actress at Paramount, owes her
greatest role to the fact that her dark
beauty is IN sharp contrast to that of
other actresses on the lot. Miss COL
bert was selected by Cecil B. DeMille
for the exotic role of Empress Poppaea,
wife of Nero. in the big Roman spec
tacle. THE Sign of the Cross
