We remembered her radio pro-
grams and heard her sing a num-
Der Of times, but had not heard
she had been secured by the
Hollywood scouts. Ever since her
school days she has shown an un-
usual ability in everything dra-
matte, so her contract for pic
lures is the ultimate reward for
such ambition.
Her first pictures were with
William Powell and Carol Lom-
bard in my Man Godfrey" and
in Cain and Mabel" with Ma
rion Davies and Clark Gable. She
is now in Warner Brothers new
picture mo Hard Feelings" un-
der the direction Of Frank Nc
Donald, and quite definitely on
the road to success.
NATURAL BRUNETTE
Hers is q natural brunette type
of beauty with large brown eyes
and dark brown hair. She likes
to wash her face thoroughly with
creamy lather of soap and
water every day, and when there
is time she goes to beauty salon
for facials and hairstyling.
When she first started to use
the screen makeup and grease
paint, she found it irritated her
skin and at times even bliStered
it, and after trying a number Of
lotions to relieve this condition.
she decided to experiment in a
cure of her own.
After the makeup was removed
with oils or creams, she applied a
compress of witch hazel or a for
mula made up Of the witch hazel
and other simple ingredients.
This, she told us, worked like a
charm and gave her skin the
firmneSS and resistance it needed
for protection. Jane thinks it Is
the very best thing for skin
beauty. She bathes her eyes with
it and applies it as a cold pack
to refresh the skin after a IA
tiguing day.
For this ice pack she takes
a large piece Of thin absorbent
cotton, then puts it in bowl
with a few ice cubes and two
tablespoonful of the witch hazel.
When it is thoroughly saturated
and ice cold, it is squeezed out
and spread over the face and
neck.
When doing this, Jane advises
one to cover the pillow with a
bath towel and lie down in a
darkened room for a while. The
rest will relax the nerves and
facial muscles.
She loves perfume, but thinks
it should never be sprayed on
the face as it may be irritating
to a sensitive skin.
Unlike many of the young girls
out here, Jane has no need for
a restricted diet, but eats all
kinds of foods and plenty Of it.
She loves avocados and arti-
chokeS, and drinks a half-pint
of cream every morning for her
breakfast.
GOOD DANCER
Her home is in Hollywood
where she lives with her sister,
Cherie. Both parents are dead.
Her mother was a French actress
but her father never had any
connection with the theater. Be
sides her musical education, she
has been trained as an expert
dancer and realizes the impor-
lance of keeping the feet in
good condition.
She told us that the muscles
of the toes need much more
exercise than we give them and
really good dancing calls for
plenty of trained muscular
strength in the toes as well as
the leg muscles.
The following are some of her
own foot exercises:
Take a handful of beads and
place one between all the toes,
then walk or run about the room
for a few moments; rest, and re-
peat the exercise.
This will strengthen each toe
as they are spread apart and the
muscular strain will be felt in
each toe rather than the foot,
as in the case when they are
pressed together. Jane says she
uses pearl beads, but any round
object or marble will do. She
