But Mr.. Laughton is. Before he did the
current Henry VIII" he played in
something called Payment Deferred"
the most diabolic character this side Of
the Styx, and before that he had done
only a half-score years of acting on
the London stage, jumping from youth
into old man roles with alarming excel
lence
Why have these two become more
than gentle rage on both sides of the
Atlantic? Why does Grandma Whatnot
go home shaking her head at Miss West
and Grandpa Whathaveyou go into a
small fit because Laughton whisks
chicken bones over his shoulders and
behaves otherwise unseemly as Henry?
Reasons for these are obvious. In
their time no one who hoped to be
asked into civilized community would
have dared to act in the -Laughton
manner No one could possibly have
afforded to bestir herself in the "can
can" dance fashion which is Miss Vests
salvation in I'm No Angel" No one
IN their right mind would have enjoyed
his food the way Laughton does ana
drive it home with such evident gusto.
whether there is any harm in this
depends on how the rest of the cinema
reacts to it. Already there have been
far too many Mae West imitators. No

In Newport and Paris the season has
been stuffed 18th aigrette feathers and
hats which no one but Dubarry or a
West would have consented to wear.
Now what will the imitators of Laugh

borrowed from Alfred Lunt which can
not be readily seized upon, and the rest
OF his acting eccentricities are curiously
lis OWL. If people insist on copying
tlm there probably will be as much act
Ing vulgarity around as there is with
those who believe that they can initiate
Mae West.
1t happens that Miss West is a per-

THE amorous adventures of a king
who won the title of the Bluebeard
OF Kings because Of his six wives, two
of whom he beheaded, is depicted, hu-
morously, in THE, Private Life of Henry
VIII" now being presented at R-K-O
Keith's. Charles Laughton, who in less
than two weeks and only six roles on
the screen has risen to peak which
places him where he is discussed as
greater than Jannings," plays Henry
VIII, King of England. AS written by
Lajos Biro and Arthur Wimperis, the
story Is Of Henry the man rather than
Henry the monarch and England's
greatest King. In comparison one
chronicler has said Of Henry VIII. all
who have since sat on the English
throne are pygmies. The story begins
on the day Anne Boleyn, Henry's second
queen, was beheaded, and Jane Seymour,
whom he called sweet but stupid, be-
comes his third.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Milk Beneficial

QuestiOn-Is milk beneficial
to the skin? How does it act on
dry and oily skin? My skin is
quite dry under my eyes and 1
have large pores on my cheeks.
What should 1 do? What can 1
do for frOwn lines? They are
like Jumps on my forehead. My
eyes are puffy in the morning.
Do you think the cream left on
all night would cause it?
MISS A. ]. X.
AnSwer-Yes, milk is benefi-
cial. Plain milk patted over the
face and allowed to dry will act
as a mild bleach and astringent.
You might try using a pore
cream on your cheeks. It is an
astringent cream which you
leave on for an hour or so to
refine the texture of the skin.
Massage is best for frown lines.
If you can't correct the lines
yourself, you might try a few
facials at the hands of an ex-
pert. If the cream happens to
be too rich, it might possibly be
the couse Of the puffiness. Try
leaving it off for a few nights
to test it. Pat an astringent I'm.
der your eyes-ever so gently. If
the condition is rather bad, you
might try an eye strap.
The Washington times., 1933-09-06

bland soap, and a face cloth
not too rough, is therefore as
sential. Furthermore, keep the
skin that way-that is, clean
during the night. Another SINH
lar wash upon arising is none
too much before powder and
other adjuncts to beauty are
used.
Daily bathing of the entire
skin surface is likewise neces-
sary. A hot tub with plenty Of
soap once a week is often
enough unless the skin is thick
and oily when twice a week
will propably do. A cool or
cold shower on the other days
is advisable.
At any rate, never forget that
when the body skin as such is
stimulated and the blood flow
in it increased, it directly in
fluences the health of the skin
in the face.
Other requisites for a lovely
skin are adequate kidney and
intestinal elimination. Here
fresh fruits and green's are nee
essary, and plenty of water be-
tween meals.
Daily exercise in the open air,
from eight to nine hours Of
sound sleep, open windows in
the bedroom, no excesses in
smoking and drinking are all
highly important, as well. And
last, but not least, if you would
covet fine complexion be sure
you free your mind from worry
or other conflicts.
Cosmetics are useful. They
should never be employed, how
ever, to cover up skin defects.
First get a healthy skin; only
use cosmetics to heighten its
attractiVeness if, indeed, that
will then be necessary.
For a beautiful skin, patience
is required as we'll as scrupulous
care. A few weeks of right liv-
ing, however, makes a tremen-
dous difference.

It's one of our revilvals of the
Victorian age, but we do it diff
ferently. We not only quilt our
bedspreads, but We quilt our
dresses too.
In Wide Revers
Quilting gives a soft look to
the collar of the dress we've
photographed today. Double
faced satin makes the rather
wide collar, and it's quilted in
white thread, in attractive de-
sign.
The dress is Of rough crepe,
black with a white collar. The
belt buckle is smart, metal
with a big jade colored stone in
it. The dress comes in misses
sizes, and is priced $16.95.

Remember always that the
skin is an organ equal in i'm
portance to the lungs, kidneys,
heart, liver and to any of the
rest of them. The state of
these organs influences the
state of the skin. Conversely,
the condition of the skin has
it's effects on the inside of the
body.
After all, the skin is an
organ of elimination as well
as protective covering. Its
structure is a complicated one
and it contains millions of
sweat glands, nerve endings
and hair follicles. Particu-
larily must the sweat glands
be kept open if the body is
going to be able to rid itself
of excess heat and moisture.
And the best way of aiding
this process, which is a kind
of breathing, is to keep the
skin clean.
Many compilations leave
much to be desired for the
simple reason that their own
ers are afraid of soap and
water.
Such persons are not neces-
sarily uncleanly or careless.
But they actually believe that
soap and water is bad for the
skin, and when they do use
them they are mighty careful
not to get any of either on the
face.
Although the face may not be
visibly moist or greasy there is,
nevertheless, always a certain
amount of elimination via the
pores. This, combined with
dust, face powders, creams,
rouge and the like, readily
makes a kind of paste jacket
that effectively hampers the
normal functioning of the skin.
The inevitable results are
blackheads, pimples, discolora-
tions and other blemishes.
Giving the face a good wash
with lukewarm, soft water, a

Women are going to look to
their stitchery this fall. Not
only are they going to sew a fine
seam themselves, but they are
going to expect their ready
made clothes to have bits of
stitchery to make them more in
teresting, to be ornamented
with fine hand sewing here and
there.
For years we've demanded
hand finished seams in better
dresses, and hand sewing in all
places that showed. This year
we're going further and have
stitching, whether it be done
by hand or not, used as trim
ming on our dresses.
Victorian Origin
Quilting is the newest form of
stitchery for enlivening a dress.
You'll find it used in many
ways, to stiffen wings that jut
out suddenly on shoulders, to
soften collars and cuffs of satin,
as a bit of trimming when the
dress needs nothing but some
decoration in self color.
