nothing at all That sort of,thing gets
mighty tiresome along about MIDDAY,
but it's a big lift before breakfast"
K ATHARINE HEPBURN wins Berns'
personal acclaim as the best-in-
formed actress of his acquaintance
She is also the most punctual of any
of the makeup mans charges.
Katie knows everything there IS
to know about world affairs" he said.
"She specializes in current events ard
can discuss them in an authoritative
manner She must read every news
paper and magazine she can get her
hands on"
Ginger Rogers, who is immersed in
the building of new home, carries
building plans around with her these
days, and if her converse ton is
steered into other channels, it Is
quickly turned back into the home
building groove. incidentally, Berns
charges that Ginger is habitually
tardy. She's never on time for a
makeup appointment, it appears.
Most charitable player on the lot,
in Berns' estimation, is Joe Penner.
The comedian usually spends his
early makeup hours telling of some
new down -and-outer who has applied
10 him for aid.
RERNS spends about two hours each
day making up the stars on his
lot whenever they have pictures in
work, but he has no favorltes. at
least he's diplomatic enough to de-
clare publicly that ne has no favorttes.
Still, there's an extra sparkle in
his eyes when he talks OF william
Powell, Irene Dunno and Lionel Bar
rymore. Powell and Barrymore have
been coming over to make an occa-
sional picture, and Barrymore, Berns
says. always falls sound asleep. even
snores, in the chair while he's being
made up
Miss Dunno credits her neV-found
screen popularity TO Berns. Until
two years ago she was making little
headway with her career, as pro-
ducers were undecided how to cast
her.
One day Berns, in half-punning
mood, said to her, You'd make more
headway If you'd fix your head my
way"
He took her to his makeup room
and rearranged her coifure, which
was severely oId-fashIoned, into
modern, sophisticated style.

next picture, and for the first time
in her life began hearing herself re-
ferred to as "a glaaor girl"
RERNS has been making up actors
~ since 1925. Babe Ruth got him
his job The Bamb!no came out
to Hollywood that year TO make
short Directors, little bothered IN
those days about makeup, wondered
what to 90 about the large pores in
the ball players face. Berns,
laborer on the set. stepped up and
showed them what to oo-app,y a
heavy paste, work 1t into the pores
and cover the face with powder. He
has been a makeup man ever since.
Berns is a firm believer in spar
ing use Of makeup. His 17-year-old
daughter Toni, in great hustle of
/ excitement the other day as she
/ prepared for her first formal party.
called him on the phone to ask what
/ she should use on her face.

ONCE when the finest bird of para

Mann experimental with various foods
until he finally discovered that ant
eggs, dried, provided the elements
necessary to restore the attractive
colors and put the bird back again on
feed Dried shrimp fed to the scarlet
ibis resulted in similar color restora-
ton. Mocking birds at the Zoo thrive
best on a ration composed Of dried
meat, ant eggs and toasted bread
crumbs.
HAVE any of the ZOO animals ever
escaped and precipitated riot?"
this writer asked the zoo attendants.
Their reply was negative; one Of
them told me about the most startling
snake escape episode in the history
OF Washington. 1t occurred at lead
ing downtown pet store whose owner
purchased pair Of boa constructors
from circus for display purposes
These snakes, each about IA feet in
length and 30 pounds in weight, were
placed on exhibition in special pens in
a show window of the shop which
faced the street. The pet shop owner,
attending show one evening, was
surprised by policeman who raced
down the aisle crying his name The
officer told him to rush to his store.

That's the toll some of these be-
Wildered 500, ,000-a-year stars were
paying morning after morning. just
to produce on schedule the celluloid
dramas that you digest for as little
as 25 cents trip-and with an added
feature thrown in.
Stars were staggering out Of bed
before daybreak. and still rubbing
their eyes when they arrived at their
studio at g.
While an expert makeup worker
can apply the putty and paint in As
minutes, an unskilled actor must fuss
and fume a couple of hours before
eagle-eyed directors will allow cam
eras to record the transformation.
MOST of them were reporting to
makeup headquarters without
breakfast, and the disposition of
movie star minus breakfast is no
more angelic than that of the Woris
in factory, store or office who is
forced into the days grind without
| benefit of coffee
Long and weary faces stared back
at the stars from long mirrors, as
/ they sat at the little tables, dipping
unsteady fingers INTO strange cups of
| colored grease. There was none of
| the gay banter that usually attends
| these trips to the makeup counters
only silence, broken by sighs and
muttered profanities, as an eyebrow
! pencil broke, or an inspecting super
visor paused long enough to say,
! That's all wrong; wash up and start
over"
| Over at R-K-O tire situation wasn't
/ quite so tense, perhaps, as at other
/ studios, and that was in a large meas
ure attributed TO Mel Berns, who COM
| bined his duties Of makeup chief with
| those of chef 10 the early-rlslng stars.
Mr.. BERNs felt so sorry for his
breakfastless charges that he
went out the first morning CT the strike
and purchased coffee, a percolator and
case of oranges That broke the
tension. After coffee and juice, Berns
reports, the actors shook themselves
free Of daybreak gloom. The old care
free atmosphere Of the shop returned
Soon there was small-talk and banter
Only Fred Astaire, it seems. fails to
! catch the talkative spirit. Fred re-
/ ports dutifully each morning at the
specified hour, according to Berns, but
! no one would ever know he was
around He seldom says more than
Good morning" and then craWls into
a shell Of silence.
Jolliest of the early morning callers
at Berns' department are Helen Brod-
erick and Jack Oakie. If they hap
/ pen to come in together, they form a
veritable big-time vaudeville act.
Helen is the practical joker su-
preme,' says Berns, and she is one
of the wittiest Of conyersationalists
Never does she show up without some
! new gags. Her stories of the old
trouping days are also interesting. She
likes to recall the times when she
was struggling for stage recognition
when she didn't know where the next
meal was coming from.

NO DEADLY ELIXIR is
FOUND In DELAWARE
[Continned rom First Pagel

The drug itself is used in powder
ed form. Preparations bearing the
mark of reputable manufacturing
druggists to be found on the shelves
of conscientious neighborhood drug
stores need arouse no apprehension
on the part of the buying public, Mr..
Bosley said.
DR.. A. c. Jost, executive secretary
of the State Board of Health, Stress
ed that there is no objection to sui
fanilamide in its pure form. but that
only in solution with particular SOL
vent need it be feared.
DR.. Jost also pointed out that
symptoms of i'll effects will usually
develop within 4S hours after taking
the elixir, and if such symptoms
have not appeared in that time, it is
probable that no harm will result.
A representative of the principal
wholesale drug house of the State
said this week that no orders for the
elixir had been made through that
house and that as far as he knew
none of it had ever entered the State.
He pointed out, however. that some
druggists might have ordered 1t ei-
rect from the manufacturer or
through a large wholesaler in Phil
adelphia or New York. This, how
ever, he said was improbable.
Free samples may have been mail
ed to practicing physicians, but it is
also considerable improbable that
any of these samples, if received
here. would have been put into use
without full study by the physicians.
c. S. Brinton. in charge of the
Philadelphia district office of the
Federal Food and Drug Administra-
tion said that as far as he knew no
shipments had been made into Della

The war over, Mr.. Truss returned

ninth street, Wilmington. He is a
member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity.
Mr.. DUPONT was first appointed
State tax commissioner by then
Governor Robert p. Robinson in
1925.
The appointment was particularly
fitting because at that time Mr.. du-
Pont was engaged in helping to re-
build the State school system and
convince the State of the necessity
of building up the State Tax Depart
ment for the purpose of increasing
the revenue which went for schools.

AAATO MAKE PAYMENTS
TO DELAWARE FARMERS
[Continaed from First Pssel

H. r. Tolly, administrator of 'he
AAA, said today that payment of the
maximum rates originally authoriz-
ed will fully carry out the offer
made to cooperating farmers, while
still staying well within budget re-
quirements.
"A factor in the decision to cay
the maximum was based on the un-
usral character of local admins
trative expenses which this year are
deductible from payments to far
mers," Mr.. Tolly said. Local ex-
penses during recent months have
included a considerable amount of
aerial mapping work which will be
used in administering the program
in future years. Also. since the 1888
program was drawn up much ear
lier this year than in the past, a
disproportionate amount of current
local administrative expenses in
Cured in 1887 are in connection with
the 1888 rather than the 1887 pro-
gram.
ITO offset those unusual expenses,
the maximum rates will be paid to
cooperating farmers in the continen-
tai United States. The maximum
rates will not be paid farmers of the
Insular Regions. because local ad-
ministrative expenses are not de-
drcted from their payments.

Gay in Comedy.

"ERESH FIELDS" an English COM
edy in three acts by Ivan
Novello, proved a gay medium last
night for the talents of the Dramatic
Committee of the Arts Club to pro-
vide sophisticated entertainment before
capacity gathering.
The complex results Of a garble of
loves little deceptions and guiles
characterized by playboyish emotion.
were ably presented by a cast which
seemed to be aware of the proper de-
grees Of limning to accord each role
to prevent the plays falling into the
absured. This was due mainly, per-
haps, to the efforts Of Director Marie
E. Walcott, although several individual
performances stood on their own
merit.
Anne Ives as Lady Mary Crabbe,
and Maud Howell Smith as Mrs
Pidgeon are principal recipients OF
such laurels, having generated the
modern" mode of the piece with
timely and rarely erring bits of in
depreciation Of their parts. Tim and
Tom, the two lovers who were in hot
water most of the time. were ac-
quilted capably by Ben Smart and
Harman Riess respectively.
Other performers who proved capa-
BILE yet shade paler than the quartet
mentioned include Dorothy Winchcole
as Miss Swaine, Paul Murphy (always
dependable) as Ludlow. Elizabeth
Sypher playing Mrs. Pidgeon's daugh-
ter, and Wilma Flood in the part OF
aristocratic Lady Strome. Ruth
Blaine Piggot, playing Lady Lillian
