not get enough men to make our city safe.
Here is a city that is spread all over creation
with only 1897 policemen to guard it, These
men do splendid piece of work You don't hear
of shakeups in OUR police force such as you
do in New York city.
We ought to have the largest and the finest
police force in the world.

When you take the health department of

Nature Makes Work
For Makeup Men

A motion picture made outdoors,
with nature furnishing the back
grounds and the light, requires the
services of more makeup artists for
the actors than picture produced
on a sound stage indoors.
This is because a different quality
OF light demands constant changes
in makeup shades. On a location
set in the mountain and desert
country near Kernville, Calf, where
Harry Sherman is producing Zane
Crews Heritage of the Desert for
Paramount. the light changed so
suddenly that Evelyn Venable and
Tonald Woods, who we're enacting a
scene. appeared almost black to the
cameras eye.
Cameraman Russell Harlan de-
tected the change and Director
Lesley Selander called in the make
up experts to tighten the faces of
the two players.
A little later their countenances
took on a purple hue and again the
makeup men got busy. Still later
they became green and another
change was necessary.
A makeup man on an indoor mo-
ton picture set is compelled to carry
20 different shades of powder and
grease paint to meet these condi-
tons On an incloSed set where
lamps furnished the lighting. it is
seldom that more than two or three
are needed.

Not all the girls who want to

work behind the scenes. Budding
actresses are referred by Mrs. Hunt
to the always new stories of the
newest discovery's discovery. Get
ting in as an actress often follows
as much painful waiting as for any
other job as rule, since the COM
petitors are without number.
One of the so-called mems job
held by a woman is that of chief
of the transportation department at
Paramount. Mary Eicks fell heir to
that position years ago when the
studio boasted one touring car and
one truck Miss Eicks directs the
activities of dozens of drivers, those
who handle the sleek sedans as well

The divorce rate among the ca

have been married, although one
wonders how they ever found time
for romance, if they always are so
busy as Mrs. Hunt swears they are
"a few of them, like Marcella Ban

Writers Anita Loos and Lenora Cof-

says. They must be exceptional

Mrs. Hunt, the career specialist,

clares, whether they want to be
studio mattresses, hairdressers, set
designers, secretaries or scenario
writer's. This, she admits, is con-
trary to the deluge of discouraging
stay-aWay from Hollywood advice
people have been offering for years,
but Mrs. Hunt can cite case after
case to prove that serious minded
girls, with ingenuity, need have no
fear of knocking at the forbidding
gates.
Fifteen years ago Mrs. Hunt took
over the job of greeting the maga-
zine writers who visited a certain
studio. So amazed were they to
find woman at what, by custom,
was a mans desk that they usually
mentioned her in their pieces and,
until recently, her name always ap-
peared in the stories about women
in the movies.
Her letters of advice 60 something
like this:
For the woman who is really seri-
Gus about career, Hollywood
to New York, perhaps-is the best
place to come. Hollywood would
as soon hire woman for an i'm
portant job as a man, and very
often does.
However, she must be prepared
to make a great many sacrifices if
she is to succeed. Careers and mar
rlage don't mix here. (The majority
OF career women in Hollywood are
single)
She must. in addition, be able
to keep pace with the man alongside
whom she works, suffer along on
minimum sleep requirements, per-
haps forego vacations, give up social
contacts that have nothing to do
with business-in short, to turn her
life over to her bit in making the
sprockets go round.
And for what? For the satisfac-
ton she will get from doing it,
mainly, says Mrs. Hunt; for the
excitement of helping to create
something new, for fame, perhaps,
and for more money than she could
earn doing something similar in
her home town.
II the inquiries appear to be from
Well-lntentioned girls, Mrs. Hunt
gives tips picked up from hairdress-
erS and secretaries and others on the
amount of money necessary to tide
one over during the siege the train
Ing essential for various departments
and some of the adroit ways of get
ting positions.
AS an example of how one girl
got a well-paylng permanent studio
job, Mrs. Hunt tells about May
belle Carey from Blue Earth. Mimi.
Maybelle arrived several years ago
with about 5000 and very strong
desire to get on somebody's pay roll
for $75 a week. The studios took
her name, but that was all.
So she started little beauty shop
just opposite the M-G-M studio
and because she had the only shop
In that area, secretaries and others
from the lot began dropping in.
When an unexpected rush occurred,
one of the secretaries suggested
Maybelle be summoned to attend
some of the extras. Other occasional
jobs followed and Maybelle was far
seeing enough to study period hair
styles. More than a year passed
before her campaign ended in the
success she deserved Maybelle is
getting $75 week. plus the eXtrav-
agant gratuities of the Crawfords
and the Logs.
