the one in doubt has to make up his
own mind and try his best to be
right"
Trends in pictures, trends in cur
rent events and fads always exert
their pressure on star, Miss Young
believes. There is the bugaboo of
becoming typed" in a certain
Characterization, the worry over
stories and directors and the always
shifting public likes and dislikes.
Every one of these troublesome
problems comes home to roost" in
a stars mind.
Throughout the 13 years she has
>been before movie cameras, Miss
Young has never lost sight of being
the "GretcherT her mother and her
sisters know at home This she
feels has been her principal asset
and guiding star. Her only motto,
she says, has been a paraphrase of
Shakespeare: BE true to yourself
and you can't be false to any one"
so" she says, Il don't fool myself
by trying to presume.
Feeling that many times success
can be its own enemy, Miss Young
has chartered a conservative course
around Hollywood's shadows. She
has chosen friends carefully and
limited their numbers, meanwhile
living quietly and modestly without
the elaborate movie set" frills
many stars incorporate in their
mansions.
The above considerations have
largely influenced her decision to
become free lance player. She be-
lieved this would enable her to help
choose stories, directors and starring
mates to the ultimate benefit of her
career. By this token, she was
happy to be selected for the role of
Anita in Externally Yours" story
which she feels offers every mood
and range an actress could reason
ably expect. When Producer Walter

famous salary of $4,000 a week and
riding high on the glamour wave.
The slenderest but strongest
thread that hitched her frail wagon
to the star of film celebrity was the
fact that she in no way resembles
her sister Constance, in appearance
or in screen personality. From the
first, Joan evinced a distinct per-
sonality and ability of her own.
Her climb to her own separate and
lofty pinnacle of screen success has
been steady and sure, and her pres
ent position has been gained en-
tirely on her own efforts and ability.
Perhaps the keynote to Joan Ben
nett's character is her strong spirit
of independence. She has consist
emily refused to depend on any
member of her family from the age
of Is, when, in seeking this much
priced independence, she made her
first marriage when she was mere
schoolgirl. She began making her
own mistakes and learning from
them at an age when most girls are
well content to let papa pay the
bills and buy the luxuries they
crave. When the marriage, to John
Marion Fox, turned out to be mis-
take, Joan took her medicine and
went ahead on her own.
Joan refused to lean on her fam
lily for help at this time; she sought
extra work in the studios and was
bravely struggling to make her own
way. Previous to this she had re-
fused stage offers. feeling that they
were made because of her famous
father or sister, not on the basis of
her own possible ability, which at
the time had never been demon
strated professionally.
Richard Bennett, father of the
three sisters, Constance, Barbara and
Joan, is as strong an individualist
as the American stage has known.
He fostered this spirit in his girls,
teaching them to make their own
decisions from their earliest years.
Hearing of Joan's battle to gain a
foothold and knowing of her real
talent from her childhood days.
Richard Bennett offered her a part
with him in "Jarnegan," the Jim
Tully play. Joan sold her household
belongings to get the fare to New
York; not that this was necessary,
so far as her family was concerned,
but she wanted to go it alone.
Joan acquitted herself creditably
in this first stage role, and from it
came the soffer which launched her
on her screen career, the role as
Ronald Colmans leading lady in
Bulldog Drummond, an early talk
ing melodrama which brought much
favorable comment to her. Her
wistful fragile beauty was in marked

One of the painless" systems to

Correct Bad
Speaking
Habits
Detecting Mistakes
Easily Done With
Record of Voice
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

1t is difficult task for any beauty
editor to instruct you on how to
change your voice! The majority of
girls and women who have not been
so fortunate as to have voice in
struction included in their schooling
would greatly benefit by reading an
elementary book on voice control,
and by taking voice lessons from a
creditable instructor. A poor in
structor can take away what natural
loveliness you have in your voice
and leave you worse off than you
were before you sought his training.
Hollywood charm authorities think
the best step you can take alone is
to have your voice recorded on a
record so that you may play it back
to yourself to detect what is wrong
with it. Then you should attempt
to make your voice more vibrant,
warm and sincere by correcting bad
speaking habits.
Every worthwhile instructor will
tell you that good posture and deep.
even breathing are most essential to
voice quality and appeal. If you
walk and sit in correct posture, your
vocal apparatus in your neck can
function as it should, and your ribs
will be held up in place so you may
breathe properly.
Once good posture has been mas
tered, learn to relax. Tension does
horrible things to your voice. You
cough nervously, swallow your words,
sneeze, croak or get your throat
passage otherwise congested. The
result, as you know all too well, is
anything but alluring!
So relaxing or "limping" exercises
are in order if you are inclined to be
either nervous or tense. Yawning
and stretching as you lie on the hard
floor help great deal. My "Slum-
ber Inducing Exercises" would also
aid you to better voice control. You
may do them before going to bed
or just before you step out to a
gala evening, when you want to be
languid, relaxed and fascinating
You know, my dears, poise gets the
mans interest every time, and poise
infuriates competitive females. You
really should strive to master it!
Each locality has a local accent
Quite unconsciously you adopt it
But if you want true voice appeal,
you will do everything in your power
to drop it. Turn on your radio and
listen to good English-speaking
voice-he or she may be an actor
or an announcer. Initiate that voice
Initiate that diction. Initiate that
rhythm.

New Publications
Offer Helpful
Beauty Hints

That complicated and all-impor-
tant subject of "how to look your
best" has added two more recruits
to the ranks of advisers. New books
and magazine are constantly being
presented in the hope that women
will CLEAN helpful advice on beauty
and charm from them, and these
latest additions are no exceptions.
A recent publication called Your
Beauty" by Jane Grey, takes in al
most every phase of loveliness from
advice on proper cleanliness to words
of wisdom on your personality.
Presented by the Farrell Publishing
Co., it is a small, concise volume of
interesting and helpful material.
Reducing and keeping fit is dis
cussed in a new book titled "The
Vincent Method of Bathtub Exer-
cises." The author, Vincent Tum-
minello, explains his system as one
which conditions and reduces the
body through keeping the muscles
compact instead of permitting them
to become soft and bloated. This
is accomplished by pressure and
massage in the exercises explained
In diagrams throughout the book.

Needlepoint
DOilies Are
Nice to Put Under
Lamps in Place
OF Lace Mats
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: I read in q re-
cent article your suggestion about
using doilies under lamps and vases
on tables. You suggested small
squares of Chinese brocades or very
fine needlepoint. Up to this time,
I have been using crocheted pieces
which made myself, on my tables
and on chair backs. I thought Of
making new ones for this winter, but
I like the idea of needlepoint doilies
for under lamps. Can you tell me
something about their design? And
if put needlepoint on the tables,
what would you advise me to use
the way of material for chair
backs to go with them? And would
a small lace and embroidered linen
centerpiece be suitable as between
meal dining room table cover?
Answer: Any little vine or mold
ing design for border with plain
center (Which is covered by the
lamp would be suitable. You might
quite possibly make your chair and
arm backs Of the material with which
each chair is covered, with tiny or
very small matching fringe to go
around it. Or if your room is at
all Victorian, embroidery or lace
such as filet-looks well. If too
white for your room, you can tint
it ecru or cream or oyster gray. On
the dining room table. the CENTER
piece you suggest would be all right,
or small square of Chinese brocade,
which seemingly looks we'll every
where. At the same time, I should
perhaps add that in the fashion of
today, the center decoration of silver
or glass or china or whatever you
use on your dinner table, is left
standing on the otherwise bare table
throughout the day.
