what I said, as you'll find out. She
asked how I dared accuse Neal of

something which definitely linked
them both with the crime. That I

Jack Dawn Keeps
Age on the Shelf

Hollywood is the one place in the
world where it is possible to. see
oneself as he will look 20 years
from now.
This is because of a mask library"
which Jack Dawn has equipped at
the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios.
His nucleus is every player under
contract to the studio and he is
rapidly adding every free-lance
player possible.
Dawn, head of the makeup de-
partment, has made life masks of
the players and aged each, at five
year intervals, up to 20 years.
The system has proved an in
valuable time saver for instances
where players must age during the
course of a film. Instead of the
actor sitting long hours for expert
ments, the masks are consulted and
makeups created on them if age
changes are needed.
The library" also proves an aid
in finding persons best fitted to play
real-life or historic personalities
since the measurements and facial
structures of actors can be COM
pared with the characters needed.

Too Many Lassies

He Says
By the Associated Press,

HOLLYWOOD.
The reason q dance directors Job
isn't such a snap, LIE Roy Prinz will
tell you, is because all the beautiful
girls do not have legs to match.
Its a shame, too," he says, "be-
cause most Of them might have bet
ter legs If they cared for them prop
erly. Girls, not only dancers in
Hollywood, but all girls, pay too
much attention to their faces and
too little to their bodies, and espe-
cially their legs. They ought to
keep them young looking.
This can be done by exercise and
the best one is riding a bicycle, or
doing bicycle exercise. A girl can
DO this by lying fiat on her back and
pumping her legs to simulate bike
riding"
Too much exercise or too much
dancing, as every one knows, causes
muscular knots, says Prinz. He
won't permit his 11-year-old daugh-
ter to take toe dancing and advises
against 1t for other youngsters. He
says when a girl is 16 it is time
enough to start learning to dance on
her toes.
Pr1nz didn't want to lead with his
chin, but he reluctantly admitted

OF the so-called beautiful girls have

Abashed, Fonda plunged his hand

in the rural districts.

gan twiddling the handle. Rhyth-
mic melody began to pour forth. 1t

playing Dixie" on the jews harp.
He played the number through with
only couple of minor breaks, then
gazed out proudly on the little audi
ence of grips that had gathered.
Part of the atmosphere, he ex-
planned. "You see, Lincoln played
the jews harp in his leisure moments
and so Fonda plays it, too"
Three days before that Fonda had
never seen Jew harp. A member
of the musical staff at the studio
took him in hand and turned him
out, almost a master, in less than
70 hours.

The epidemic sputtered away until
today 1t has narrowed down to a

come under the heading of Young
Mr.. Lincoln, at Goth Century-Fox.
It's the first day of shooting over
