 came voice conscious. Pictures started to speak. The entire film industry was in a turmoil. Old fa- vorites dropped into oblivion as new stars rose in their places. Among the newcomers was the Broadway favorite, Ruth Chatter ton.
 Miss Chatterton came to Holly wood in an aura of glory and ifn- mediately made the best of it. The climax came when studio execu- tive conceived the idea of calling her. "the first lady of the screen.
 That title captured popular fancy, and Mary Pickford acquired Q rival.
 This rivalry, felt immediately in professional channels, soon be came apparent in the private lives of the two women. The Chatterton home was the scene of social ac- tivities equally as lavish as those of Pickfair, and an invitation to a Chatterton party gave one the same social prestige as an invita- tion from Miss Pickford.
 No Social Strangers
 However, up to date, at least, this rivalry has resulted in no open hostilities. Rather, Mary and Ruth have ben quite good friends. They invite each other to their parties and always appear to be on the friendliest of terms when they meet in public.
 Nevertheless, they are conscious of the fact that they are rivals.
 Miss Pickford's background real ly is all that keeps her in the run ming for professional first lady honors. Her reight extended over such long time that the public still retains a havy recollection of her in this position.
 Each of the few pictures she has produced during the last few years has been made on just as lavish a scale as were those when she was queen in fact as well as in name.
 However, even that has not been able to do more than keep her or m even footing with Miss Chatter. ton, who has been making about four pictures to her one., -

 According to the stories circu lated in the firm colony. the higf spot in the Pickford-C d-ChattertoI rivalry came when both planned parties for the same night ant each went so far with her plans before learning that the other alst was entertaining, that neither could change the date. Unfortunately. certain big shots' got invitations for both af fairs. Further hostilities wer' avoided probably by the fact tha both parties drew about the sam' number from the group that hat received two invitations.

of the keenest rivalries in Holly wood.
 During the years that silent films formed Americas most popular form of entertainment, Miss Pick ford ruled the film world with lit- 1le difficulty. Recognized through out the nation as "America's Sweetheart" she received also in Hollywood those bows and curtsies que a queen from her subjects.

CLEANLINESS IS BASIS OF
 GOOD GROOMING
 Good grooming, like intelligent child training, begins at home; You can't expect bi-monthly vis- If fo the hairdresser and manicur- fist to keep you perfectly groomed. No amount of beauty treatments in salons can give that fastidious charm which comes only from the attention you give daily to your grooming.
 For instance, nothing is more essential to beauty than the daily bath. And more and more women are getting into the two-a-day habit = a warm, soapy bath at night and then an invigorating cool shower in the morning. But whatever your schedule, remem- Der that cleanliness begets charm and therefore beauty.
 We'll kept finger nails are also necessary for perfect grooming. Nails need not only a com plete manicure once week, but daily attention. One or two whisks with the file will smooth rough edges and a dab of cuticle oil, ev- cry now and then, will keep cuticle smooth and soft. When part of the polish wears off one nail, remove what is left and put on a new coat. Bothersome? Yes, certainly. But In the long run you'll reap your re- ward.

was as tinder to his tow. The party

threshold, regarded his sister with un-
smiling, brooding gaze. Then slowly
he came into the room.

very aloofness of his tone brought
