 Under Contract
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, May 12.-You car see Freddie Bartholomew working on the Metro lot again, but you asK about Ronald Sinclair and people out there look a little vague.
 He isn't with us any more," they say.
 Ronald's the lad who was sup posed to take Freddie's place in pie lures when Freddie's Aunt Myllicent took him out in strike. Ronald. sing ularly like Freddie in appearance and manner, made one picture called "Thoroughbreds Don't Cry"
 And then Freddie came back.
 It's that same old movie game they've been playing siuce the days when producers woke up to find that their anonymous screen players had been made into stars" by fans. And they're still playing it no less craftily, no more subtly.

Gladys went on and got her millions, and in this case Mary Miles Minter caught on with the public too. But it doesn't always work that way.
 Every studio likes to have un- der contract, at the proper time, a it can promote as an ace in the hole or a bluffing threat in the movie poker game It's sup posed to help keep stars in line.

 One of the most amusing stories of the sort centered around George Bancrofts refusal to play in The Wolf of Wall Street" several years ago. Then a big star, Bancroft re- tired to his Santa Monica home while Paramount fused, fumed, and subsequently, schemed.
 Result of the scheming was that Bancroft one afternoon, reading his paper, saw that Wallace Beery, then under Paramount contract, would play the Bancroft role. Next morn ing George was at the studio-and The Wolf of Wall Street" was one of his most successful films. But what he didn't know was that Par amount made the Beery announce ment for his benefit-and never intended to put anybody but Ban croft in the picturel

little shadow upon the upper lids
also tends to draw attention to the
eyes, rather than the glasses.
II the lenses are round or oval,
your brows should never be shaped
in straight lines so that they are
broken by the curve of the rims.
The brows should be arched so that
they follow the curve of the rims.
Il glasses are straight across the
top, follow he straight lines of the
lines of the lenses.
In applying rouge, care must be
taken not to run the color up
harshly under the glasses, or it
will look even heavier through the
lenses and call conspicuous atten-
ton to the glasses To avoid an un-
even effect, the rouge should be
blended very subtly and gradually,
just under the glasses edge, to
make the softest possible transition
from cheek to glasses. If you have
nice lips you may use more than
the average amount of lipStick,
for a vivid and interesting mouth
a do a lot to draw attention a
way from the glasses. In no event
should the lips be left pale and
unrouged, for this gives too much
prominence to the upper part of
the face.
The woman who wears glasses
can go a step further in this di-
rection than the one who does not
and keep within the bounds of good
taste.
