HOLLYWOOD, Dec. g. The
worlds most famous platinum locks
are no more. Jean HarloW's hair is
now honey colored, shade that has
been christened "brownette," and
will be exhibited for the first time
in Riff Raft"
The change in hue is said to have
effected also a decided change in
Miss Harlow's personality.
Ray June, her cameraman, says,
Jeans platinum hair was the prob
lem child of cameramen. 1t re-
quired the most delicate and pains
taking lighting. You never really
saw Jean Harlow. you saw her hair.
In order to photograph it, values
were necessarily lost in the most
photographically beautiful face in
Hollywood"
Now" June adds, instead of
predominating, her hair acts as
frame for her face. She can have
the full benefit of high lights, which
bring out the true character of her
face"

Ballet Master
Famed Dancer
Massine Has Proven Ability
in Productions.

One Of the most significant figures
in the modern dance world is Leon
ide Massine, maitre de ballet and
leading dancer of Col. w. de
Basil's Ballet Russo, which the
Junior Chamber of Commerce is to
present at the Murat Dec. Is and rs
He has created more than half
the productions in the company's
repertoire, among them THE Three
Cornered Hat" LES Presages,
"Choreartium, Beautiful Danube"
Union Pacific" and Public Gar
denS."
While acting a minor role in a
Moscow theater, Mr.. Massine was
discovered by Diaghilev, who was
impressed by his bearing as he
walked across the stage. He joined
the Diaghilev Ballet in 1916, when
the breach between Nijinsky and
the famous director had begun to
widen.
Massine's artistic. integrity and
tremendous energy have been de-
scribed by Arnold L. Haskell in his
recent book, "Balletomania."
At Height of Power
"Massine today is at the very
height of his powers" says the Eng
lish ballet enthusiast. He is the
biggest personality I have seen in
ballet, and certainly the most in
telligent. Daighilev once told me
that Massine was the only dancer
who was his intellectual equal. He
understands things before one says
them. Coming from Diaghilev at
time when Massine was no longer
in the company, and was actually
promoting rival ballet, it was the
highest praise possible.
"MaSsine's knowledge in every
branch of art is encyclopaedia
He is exceptionally calm, with a
quiet, dry humor, and is very
strong disciplinarian. I have seen
him quell an extremely self satisfied
male dancer, leaving him in tears
after a few short, quiet sentences.
AS he is today, his company loves
him . He does not command, but
asks for things to be done, and they
are.
Il have seen him compose and re-
hearse on many occasions, some
times seated quietly on chair, at
others IN the front row of the dress
circle, armed with a megaphone,
shouting III three languages and
actually dancing in the limited
space, to illustrate some point"

screamed and fell unconscious. The
family rushed in to learn the pro-
spective bridegroom had been run

King, Dancers
Enjoy Evening
Crowd, Too Big for Dane
ing, Demands Autographs.

Thousands of indianapolis music
lovers went to the Indiana Roof
ballroom Saturday night to listen to
Wayne King, the waltz king" Few
of them had room to waltz About
all they could do was to lean against
each other and listen and jam
around the stage for autographs.
Mr.. King seemingly enjoyed the
entire evening, which is not always
the case with orchestra leaders
especially those of the over-worked
variety. He tapped his feet, swung
his body and waved his hands much
like other band leaders.
He is not as good looking as his
pictures, but much more genial. He
doesn't look like the farmer he
claims to be. His music on the
stage has more personality thar
when heard over the radio. 1t lacks
the soothing quality to some extent
perhaps because he varies his tempo
more when playing for dancers ir
ballroom.
Mr.. Kings saXophone solos were
the most popular part of his pro-
gram. The way this young mar
handles the instrument is remark
able. He seems to be speaking tc
the audience, showing all the &C.
ccmpanying expression with his
eyes.

We have chosen David Copper

of the Charles Dickens novel, to
head the list. Not that it is so
much better than the other nine
in the "All-America" team, but it
is, to our knowledge, the greatest
contribution to the entire movie
public that the film industry has to
offer for the year 1t is a fitting
start for a list of the best pictures
chosen from a crop that never has
been equalled. The year just closed
raised the standards for making mo-
ton pictures several notches. 1t is
almost wrong to choose ten pictures
when there are at least 20 which are
very close to ten best" rating.
However, our other choices follow:
"Ruggles" Ranks High
2. THE Informer," because of it's
fiawless production and the acting
of Victor MacLaglen. An R-K-O
production.
3. "Ruggles of Red Cap" be-
cause of Charles Laughton's comedy
Characterization. A Paramount
production.
4. Les Miserables, because,
again, of Mr.. Laughton's fine work,
and also for Fredrio Marchs por-
trayal of the lealing character. A
United Artists production.
5. THE Dark Angel because it
was the best of the sentimentalities
the screen offered, and was the up
ward turning point in the career of
a great cinema actress, Merle Ober-
on. A United Artists production.
Bengal Lancer" Approved
6. Lives of a Bengal Lancer"
because it was the most genuinely
exciting picture of the season, due
to the work of Sir Guy Standing,
Franchot Tone and Gary Cooper. A
Paramount production.
7. Broadway Melody of 1885,"
because it gave us Eleanor Powell,
swell music, Jack Benny, and the
"snore specialist A Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer production.
8. "Sequoia," because it contained
the best animal photography yet
seen, and was as refreshing bit
of celluloid as came out from the
Coast last year. A Metro oldwyn-
Mayer production.
9. Roberta" because it had the
best musical comedy music of the
year, and also Fred Astaire, Ginger
Rogers and Irene Dunno. An R-K-
o production.
Scarlet PimperneP Tenth
10. The Scarlet Pimpernel,,' be-
cause of Leslie Howard. A United
Artists production.
Just as sports writer's are up
against it when they pick an All

men are stumped more or less by
the bountiful array of good movies
