 Hollywood-All over the lot: There was a first scene between Ma rie Antoinette and Louis XIV (Norma Shearer and John Barrymore) {. Lords and ladies of the court stood about in their brilliant costumes and overstuffed wigs, and looked on with flickerings of special interest.
 MT. Barrymore recently had been aroused from his snoozing chair and was ready for the action. Whatever his state of somnolence away from the camera, the actor has been snapping into his lines with the old Barrymore fire. Miss Shearer al- ways knows her part, never blows a scene.
 Director Van Dyke told the as- sistant cameraman to Spin 'em." After a few seconds he called, "Ac- tion!" Miss Shearer looked at Bar rymore as though to speax. There was a long silence. The camera continued to turn, and onlookers fidgeted. She had forgotten her lines. When the lines finally came they were spoken in a rush, as though by a Stage-frightened in- genue in a high school senior play. Van Dyke said, Cut"
 A few minutes later, a:;er a suc- cessful take, Miss Shearer ex- plained: She said that almost as long as she could remember she had wanted to play opposite Barrymore She used to see him on the stage Later, when he was working on the Metro lot, but always in other pie lures, she'd visit his sets and watch him work. They had no scenes to- gether in "Romeo and Juliet"
 So when this scene came along she was stricken speeches. by her long-standing awe of great actor. And Says WoO-WOO

These are monkeys with certain characteris- tics, such as mother and baby, or ones which will obey certain com mands. Like character actors, they cost more to hire than ordinary ex- tra monkeys. Actors on the set amuse themselves by picking re- semblances among the monkeys
 The two most outstanding are one that looks like Katharine Hepburn and one that looks like Hugh Her bert and says "Woo-woo"

Norma Gets Stage Fright
 It's The Barrymore Effect

she and Robert Wilcox were dash ing, with a car and trailer, through a barrage of vegetables thrown by an angry crowd. The scene was supposed to end with ripe tomato squishing over the frightened face of Miss WitherS.
 They tried it five times, and the players were well pelted with cab bageS, carrots and such. But pro- perty man, former pitcher, had difficulty attaining accuracy with the tomatoes. A dozen of them had been prepared by hollowing them out and stuffing them with catsup, and they were hard to handle. There was applause when he finally con- nected, perfectly, Splattering the star.

STYLE CHATS

Paris, (UP)-Fur is completely forgotten on the new spring coats and suits, although occasionally the new trimmings suggest it.
 Bands of black feathers, re. sembling silver fox, form the collar and revers of smart dinner suit while curls of braid, shaped like caracul, trim the three-quarte1 length jacket of two-piece suit at the collar, down the front, and around the hem.
 Velvet trims the lapels of a tailored classic" created by Creed The wool of the suit is designed with very wide pale-gray and OK ford-gray stripes. In between the pale stripes of gray is stripe bound from shoulder to hem with velvet.
 Unusual pockets are the fea- lures of both Lucien Lelong's and Jean Patous new suits. The foui are buttoned and open at the side pockets of Lelong's rough tweeds facing the shoulders and hips Patou's suit has cor dtrim which edges the collar, revers and extends straight down the front. His wide pockets start at the waist and cross diagonally to the hips. A high box hat, with a red pom-pom on the summit, tops the ensemble.
 Stark simplicity in material ano cut mark the tailored, padded "sheltie" redingotes that Francois Sarazin is featuring. These are fit- ted at the beltless waist and are full-length, with the skirts slightly flaring.

 Yourself

 An excessively oily condition of the skin can be corrected, of course but careful treatmen, time and a good deal of patience are re- quired. No woman whose complexion comes in the category can expect any sort of treatment to work overnight miracles, yet she should realize that cure really is possible.
 Normally, the pores exude just enough serbum to keep the skin soft, smooth looking and flexible. When they habitually discharge an over abundance of this oily substance, the complexion often becomes not only looking but darkish, drab-sometimes quite rough because of small blemishes just beneath the surface. Furthermore, blackheads are likely to appear-simply be- cause dirt and dust accumulate in the pores which are enlarged by the excess flow of oil.
 Frequent soap ufl0 water cleans ings are the first step in the right direction. Forget about cleansing oils and creams, scrub your face with soap and water at least twice day, and, between times, cleanse with one of the slightly astringent, special cleaning lotions.
 There are special creams for oily skins, too, and one of these may be used after cream at night and after the morning soap and water cleansing, usually is recommended.
 If you skin is abnormally oily, by all means consult your family doc tor. He'll probably give you a thoro- ugh physical examination, discuss with you the corrective creams you contemplate using, tell you whether or not you ought to see a skin specialist and recommend one if the answer is "yes." The matter of your diet comes under his jurisdiction. More than likely you'll be told to drink more fruit juice, eat more leafy salads and green vegetables, fewer starches and Sweets-no fried foods at all.
 NEXT-Your share of beauty.

A QUART OF MILK A DAY-2

A QUART OF MILK A DAY.
 The protein (nitrogenous, curd, cheese) part of milk is of the high est biological quality, having the as- sortment of amino-acids whose effi- ciency in promoting growth is unex- celled, and being the most con- pletely digested and absorbed of all food proteins.
 Ten years ago the Department of Health for Scotland studied 12,000 school children who received milk daily at school to supplement their ordinary diet, and 12,000 school children who did not receive the extra milk at school. The final con- clusion drawn from this extensive test was that the

 There's more to a waffle than good morning." They show up at some of the best luncheons and go out in the evening with the great est of ease. It's largely matter of sauces. You must make the waffleS fresh yourself, but many of the sauces you can buy, such as choco- late sauce, strawberry preserves, pecan sauce ans various lively mar malades.
 Debutante WaffleS (4 four-section Waffles)
 Two cups sifted pastry flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1-2 tea spoon salt, egg yolks, 1-2 cup cream, 1-2 cup milk, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 3 egg whites beaten as stiff as crinoline.
 Sift pastry flour and measure. Add baking powder and salt, then sift again. Combine the well-beaten egg yolks with the milk. Add the egg-milk mixture slowly to flour mixture, beating to smooth con- siStency. Stir in the melted butter, anG then at last fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in hot waffle iron.
 ButterScotch Sauce
 (MakeS 1 3-8 cups)
 thirds cup white corn syrup, 1 1-2 cups medium brown sugar, 1-3 cup water, tablespoons butter, IA teaspoon vanilla, 6 tablespoons heavy cream.
 Boil the first four ingredients until sauce reaches heavy syrup consistency. Cool. Add vanilla and cream. If consistency gets little too heavy, add more cream.
 Another sauce which widens the social horizon of waffles shave maple sugar and add to lightly whipped cream. It's great eating. Be careful not to whip the cream too much.

1 the addition of milk to the diet of children has striking effect in im- proving physique and general health and increasing alertness. They sug- gest also that, apart from its own food value, milk enables the other constituents of the ordinary diet to be fully utilized as growth factors"
 In the final weeks of the test head teachers of the various schools were asked to submit their impressions of the effects of the extra ration (about 2i ths of pint) of milk daily at school. Then mentioned among other things "an increase in the bloom of their cheeks and the sleek ness of their skins" and even "in the playground buoyancy and pugnacity are developing to an alarming ex- tent" The physician who observed the test concluded:
 ". startling to learn, as we do now, for instance, thaS the addition of one pint of milk day to a diet which by itself satisfied the appetite of growing boys, could convert an average annual gain of weight of 3.85 pounds per boy into one of 6.98 pounds, and an average annual in- crease of height from 1.84 inches to 2.63 inches"
 At the same time they point out that this unmistakable betterment in nutrition was proved by the actual test to be due nto to the relatively small increase in the fuel value of the diet, nor to the extra protein supplied by the milk, but rather to more specific qualities of milk as a food"
 I, OF Doc Brady, believe these more specific qualities" are nothing else than our old friends the vita minS in milk.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Charcoal Absorbs Odors
 Will a piece of fresh charcoal ab- sorb odors if placed in a refrigera- tor? Will it neutralize odors of cooked cabbage, melon, etc., or just mask them? (W. E. S0
 Answer-Fresh charcoal, that has been recently burned or heated in the air or in steam and so "acti- vated" absorbs various gases, odor- ous or not. It does not neutralize them. It must be reactivated or re- placed with fresh chaircoal every few days, for the best results.

 Constipation Habit" some months ago. Of the four members in our family, not one has used any sort of physic or other laid" for more than two months now. We are grateful to you for this and for many other valuable things we have learned from "Or Dor Brady" e. L)
