 So Linda half-heartedly dragged her skates from her trunk, and putting on Q gray woolen skirt, Q short gray fur coat and Q cap and scarf of jade green, started out for the lake.
 As she passed Judge Baldwin's house, she remembefed that she had an errand there. She and Barry had been % hurried yester- day that they had not waited for their marriage certificate. Judge Baldwin was to fill it out and have it recorded for them this morning, Linda had promised Barry to call and get 1t. He had been very insistent upon this.

Hadn't she heardT Judge Baldwin had gone out to see . friend off on the train the evening before, had suffered . heart attack on the platform of the depot, and had been taken to the hospital.
 Linda thought of asking if the judge had left Q paper for her; but if Judge Baldwin had been stricken almost as soon as she and Barry had left him and Mir.

KorIoff Ends Making Faces
Gets q STRAIGHT Role

HOLLYWOOD, April "a QN.sO.
The man who ratified more spineS
than any actor in the history of
movies, has joined the ranks Of
players who use their own faces.
Boris Karloff, famous Universal
star Of such fright pictures as
"Frankenstein" and 1.-THE Mum
my" has, in curious contrast to
such roles, chosen the part Of O
kindly old inventor for his initial
Straight" picture.
But If Karloff-who in private
life, incidentally, is a soft-voiced
genteel Englishman of distin-
guiShed appearance-was pleased
to shed those groteSque make-ups
for something human and normal,
think what a sigh Of relief came
from Jack Pierce, makeup expert
who had to work out those diff.
cult faces for the star!
In Karloff's latest - and
straightest-pictCre. his makeup
consisted merely Of his own hair
with scraggly cut and a touch of
gray, thick-lensed glasses to indi-
cate poor eyesight Of the aged, q
mustache and a baggy suit Of
clothes.
It took an hour and a half to
apply it, according to Pierce, but
for Karloff that is practically no
makeup time at all! He is accus-
toned to spending more time in
Pierce's makeup chair than be-
fore the cameras.
In 1.-THE Mummy" for instance,
1t took nine hours to prepare Kar-
loft for six hours work on the
set. Once during the filming Of
"FrankenStein," the star remained
before the cameras for % hours
just to get a difficult sequence
finished and to save him the or.
deal Of having the makeup ap-
piled an extra time.
Karloff, of course, is one Of the
most familiar figures around the
Universal lot because OF his many
years Of successful stardom there.
Yet when he visited the studio
commissary in his new makeup,
half the personnel failed to recog
nize him in spite Of the fact that

Hollywood Has
Dropped the
High-Hot

HOLLYWOOD, April 24.-Keep-
ing UP q front in Hollywood has
gone out Of style.
"A star no longer has to-" said
Clark Gable, whose actions speak
louder than words.
Gable owns no palatial man
sion, lives in a hotel, dimes in the
M-G-M coffee shop, never attends
SWank affairs, hasn't had on q
tuxedo in 10 months.
He lives simply, normally,
dresses as he pleases, goes where
he wants to 60.
More often than not, he drives
q roadster with a market value OF
$3.50, or his station wagon.
"Why not2" Gable asks.
All of Hollywood has been ask
ing itself the same question.
When Gloria Swanson shopped
around for house in 1924, moth
ing would do but 24-room home.
MYRNA TOOK A RANCH
Sounds silly, now," said Gloria,
''but what sold me on the house
was the fact that it had an ele-
vator. The next home I buy will
be q Six-room bungalow. Why, 1t
was IA years after I bought the
house, before I discovered that IL
had an attic"
When Myrna 10y decided to
build her first home, recently COM
pleted, she was deluged with plans
for marble palaces and SWank
estates. What the star purchased
was part of an old California
ranch. Her home is typical ranch
house style, unpretentious, but
comfortable and livable.
Robert Taylor is another who
has helped free his fellow stars
from stiff collars, high hat, white
tie and tails. Bob prefers sweat
ers to shirts, slacks to tailored
trousers, and wears what he
pleases. He recently attended a
preview costumed in a buckskin
Jacket and corduroy trousers after
a day of riding in the hills. Will
liam Powell has disposed Of his
huge home and lives in what he
refers to as "a shack, neat, but not
gaudy."
st guess I had to get the big
house bug out of my system" said
Bill. Il had swimming pool, but
don't swim, and more rooms than
I knew what to do with. 1t was q
painful operation, but the patient
I am glad to state, lived"
Wallace Beery, who has made
three fortunes, and been broke as
many times, believes that stars are
much smarter today than they
were is years ago.
"Stardom Is expensive" sale
Wally, "and it is o simple matter
to break your back putting on the
dog"
When Wally was an EssanaJ
star, making $75 week. he owned
a yellow roadster, the sensation
Of Chicago. Today, he drives 6
car Of the most modest model.
NUM- LIVES QUIETLY
Paul NUM-, recent Academy
Award winner, lives quietly on his
San Fernando Valley ranch, anc
cares for his place himself.
Jack Haley also lives very mod
estly. He Is seldom seen at the
gay spots, has been working hard
and Stardom is again predicted
for him.
Claire Trevor, who has firmly
established herself in the from
rank Of feminine players in the
past two years, rarely entertains
and then only for a few friends
Gloria Stuart lives a retiring lifC
off the screen, giving her entire
attention to her home.
The list is endless. Hollywood
has found that q front not only
doesn't pay, but isn't necessary K

a fantastic one," Karloff said.
Study must be given even to
such relatively small details as
glasses and mustaches and facial
lines, or the character will strike
a false note. The casual observer
might not notice slight facts OF
makeup, but an audience will
sense q false note and it will de-
tract from the picture"
The Washington times., 1937-04-24

I must confess l don't
know, but it served to re-
mind me that leading men
aren't menacing any more.
The accent is on humor,
charm. They re all kindly,
regular fellows who can slug
in a pinch but aren't particu-
larly anxious to go to town
with their fists.
To a fellow who never felt
particularly menacing, this is
reassuring. It's also reassur-
ing to note that women's
taste in leading men seems to
be more catholic than ever.
In other words, there's a
larger variety of male types
playing leads on the screen
today than ever before, and
1 think it reflects feminine
taste because it is unques-
tionably women that go to
the theaters in the largest
numbers and that dictate,
not only by their attendance
but by letters to the studios,

haze which consists of particles of
water vapor. This may result in over
exposure and yelling over of the more
distant parts of the picture. A yellow
filter, when placed over the lens, will
absorb the shorter wave lengths of
light so that the picture will be made
by the other colors which are not so
much affected by the haze. The filter
will not, however, be of any particular
value in eliminating the haze effect
produced by particles of dust and
