LEDERER AND ANN SOTHERN
 IN GAY FL M
Comedy-Romance Reverses Theme of Title-Seeklng
 American Heiress

The romantic story of titled no- bleman who marries an American girl, and then sets about to prove himself a better American than she is and better cowboy than his neighbors in Arizona, is presented in MY American Wife, Paramount picture starring Francis Lederer and lovely Ann Sothern. The film is at the Capitol Theatre.
 The star of "One Rainy After noon" is given a story perfectly suited to his charm in My Ameri- can Wife" and Miss Sothern in light footed romantic sequences of the film, proves herself perfect screen mate for the European ac- tor. Fred Stone, Billie Burke, Ern- est Cossart and Grant Mitchell head the supporting cast.
 Giving a reverse angle twist 1 to the theme of the wealth-seeking Old World aristocrat and the title seeking American girl, the film introduces Lederer and Sothern after their marriage. Lederer finds Arizona, his brides home, to his liking. He wants to become ran- cher and make his living from the soil.
 His wife, however, is led by her mother into making capital of Le- derer's social prestige. She forgets her Arizona background and insists upon keeping her husband in braid and medals. The romance almost hits the rocks before the two are reunited.

 Sports poses are the modern equivalent of what lensemen still term categorically leg art" Pic lures of this type, provided the subjects are attractive, still are easiest to get published.
 Ordinarily leg art does not be- come an issue with movie girl until she has reached stardom or is pretty close. Then she says ..ycs' or "no' and what she says goes.
 IStWCOtiCIS ndACiy OoJ~NS Big stars permit bathing suit pictures more rarely than newcom- CTS or stock" girls. They have less time, for one thing. For an- other, they Gon't need the public ity as badly.

They don't mind a few shots showing them in outfits they normally wear at play. When Lombard plays tennis in shorts, it's all right if | the photographer happens by.

 Irene Dunne, who is Hollywoods s first lady in dignity and gracious ness, never has been photographed in a bathing suit. Now, whether she knows it or not, shes the object of campaign.

 Why not?" they argue. Pic lures like that are natural and hu- man, and certainly not undignified
 In "A Star is Born it is pointed out that only one in 100000 extras becomes star In the picture and all other Hollywood pictures the story deals with that one Seems to me the really good story would come from the other 99,999 :.

MOTHERS INFLUENCE

Dear Miss Fairfax:
my fiance is %, and still under
the complete control Of his mother.
He earns a good living, and is well
able to afford separate homes for
his mother and for myself and
my daughter by a previous mar
riage. However, this lady has set
his older brother, whom 1 have
never met, against me also.
ION the only occasion when /
met my future mOther-in-law, she
said that her son had only aSsOci-
ated nice girls those who
didn't smoke or drink. 1 happened
to be smoking at the time. John
was there, but didn't dare talk
back to her.
"AII his property and cars are
in his mothers name. I've told
him it would be just as easy for
him to take care of her without
putting everything in her name,
as her complete domination over
him makes it impossible for him
to have a mind of his own. She
has been the cause of his break
ing dates and leaving me stranded
on several occasions.
1--WE don't intend to marry i'm.
mediateIy, but it's certain she will
leave no stone unturned to break
up anything between us.
&C. S."
When mother has such an in.
fluence as you describe over a son,
it is doubtful if you would be
happy with him as a husband. It
would probably be a battle royal
between you, with all three
being desperately unhappy. And
I wonder If, with the looming diff
ficulties, such a marriage would
be worth while.

der the same company has now
brought out "air-spun" rouge. It's

vouch for its satin texture. 1t

Beauty
Perfumes for
Spring
By DONNA GRACE

Flowers and vivid colors have
been gradually appearing in our
fashions for the past few months,
and now we hear from no less
authority than the brilliant Car
mel Snow, they will be the vogue
for spring and summer.
The floral ornaments will finish
all formal and spring and summer
costumes, and for dinner or in
formal occasions we will have any
number of silk twists in all colors.
These, of course, are fashion
notes, but it is a thrilling oppor-
tunity for the girls who like to
match and harmonic their per-
fumes with their flowers and
colorS. Your suits will all have an
appropriate flower, and you will
have no trouble in finding just the
right scent to enhance their charm.
We find some of the best per-
fume houses are putting out mini
ature sizes of some of their best
aromas, so it will not be too ex-
penSiVe for us to have a purse
size for every variety of blossom
as well as the floral bouquet
scents for. the color combinations.
Hat boxes are so attractive now
they are included in the closet
color scheme, and to give each
hat it's own air of distinction we
would have sachet or a certain
perfume to place in the crown of
the hat when it is put away.
Now, of all times, you will find
it interesting to know more about
flowers and perfumes. You may
have my Language of Flowers and
the Perfume Chart, if you wish.
Enclose a stamped, Self-addressed
envelope for each and address
