evening use bit of eyeshadow on upper lids, just above the lashes Blend it upward toward brows only on outer edges. However, if your eyes are very deep set, never use eye-shadow at all.
 Use Light Rouge
 According to Perc Westmore, inl- portant Hollywood makeup expert, the oblong- g-faced girl should choose the lghtest rouge possible with her complexion. It ought to be applied, he says, in circular spot in the cen- ter of cheeks and the edges carefully blended until no harsh lines remain. Don't he continues, elongate your rouge. Or bring it too close to nose or two far out on the sides of the face.
 Also, do not widen your mouth in an exaggerated manner or make it up as cupid's bow. Motion picture stars with oblong faces (Loretta Young, for example) always apply lipstick in such way as to make the lower lip slightly fuller at the corners.

h The Local 7heaters
POLI'S

Huckleberry Finn, boy roamer of the Mississippi, goes through his adventures, read by millions in Mark Twain's sequel to From Sawyer" in the person of Mickey Rooney, in his first solo starring vehicle, now show ing at the Loew Poli theater.
 An elaborate production was pro- vided for "The Adventures of Huc- kleberry Finn" much of it filmed on the Sacramento river, which serves for the Mississippi in the picture, and the picture has been directed with a very delft touch, by Richard Thorpe. Mickey is Huck Finn to the life. His character might have stepped direct from the pages of the book, which the picture follows with fidelity.
 His attempts to aid runaway slave to Freedom; his adventures with the King" and Duke" a pair of comical swindlers; the negros sacrifice of his own freedom to save the boys life; and the mad dash by steamer down river to save the slave from a mob of lynchers, are among the dramatic highlights, and the ab- surd "Romeo and Juliet" perform ance with Mickey as Juliet and Wall ter Connolly as Romeo, is the com edy high.
 Connolly and William Frawley are the two swindlers of the story. Jim, the slave, is compellingly played by Rex Ingram, noted Negro actor, who played De LaWd" in Green Pas- tures." The heiresses whom Mickey saves from the swindlers are en- acted by Lynne Carver and Jo Ann Savers. Minor Watson plays Captain Brandy, the slave-running steamer captain, and Elizabeth Risdon, Vic- tor Kilian and Clara Blandlick lend excellent supporting characteriza- tions to the heart-warming story. Be sure not to miss "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" for it's the grandest picture of the year, and 8 real treat for every member of the family.
 On the same program is another big hit, depicting the thrilling and dangerous life of a newspaperman, "Star Reporter" Featured in this thriller are Warren Hull, popular radio and screen star, and in the feminine lead, lovely Marsha Hunt.
