Goering tried hard. He appears
to have read the book on acting,
the one prescribing the following
for the actor succumbing to an in
soluble problem: Wrinkled brow
stormy, baffled eyes. dangling arms
opened mouth, loosely hung lips
bowed head and slouched body. He
tried to do it all and there ne
stood. with a face like pumpkin
on Halloween and with no more
/ hope OF putting slouch to his body
than to an inflated balloon.

And still and then beginning to un-

Hitler, too, is an unfortunate
choice for the role of Hitler. He
has allowed his mustache to spread
out from under his nose and to
turn up at the ends-not very high
not much higher than a wet ny can
kick. But he still cannot seem
able to look like anything but a
man who is sure his clothes don't
fit him and in addition, are un-
huttoned somewhere.
He has read the book on acting
too. He steps to the maps, points
to this and that and the other
sutters the magical words that turn
the world upside down and turns
his back austerely on the array ol
sarestruck faces. The generals take
only a moment out for awe before
springing into action and If an ex'

Bill Powell Long has been

Walter Pidgeon beams when any
one calls him Nick Carter: and
plenty of them do from the roped-

him with old Nick Carter books and
he has rare collection in his

Ann Sothern thinks the strangest

urgent plea from group of Brook
lyn school teachers who asked her

for the upper part of the head. An
exposed hair-line would further
accentuate roundness. The high
lights and shadows Of makeup are
also very important for the round
faced girl-particularly If the nose
is short; then rouge should be used
close to it. The lipline must not be
too small"
Trend to Naturalness.
Another OF my long-standing
wonders is Norma Shearer's eyes.
In real life they are small. On the
screen they are large and luminous,
This simple magic is explained by
Factor: Small eyes look larger
when the lower lid and lashes are
entirely free of make-up-no mas
cara, no defining line. Accentuate
the upper lid; use heavy mascara
and dark shadow Immediately above
the lashline" For her movies. Miss
Shearer uses lengthy, artificial eye
lashes-on the top lids only.
Remember when Marlene Diet
rich and her upward slanting, pen
cil-thin eyebrows and sunken cheek
bones were the standard Of femi-
nine beauty? Her eclipse as a
beauty standard setter came with
the natural eyebrow and freshness
of Deanna Durbin. The trend now,
according to Mr.. Factor, Is for nat
uralness In manner and makeup
except when your type is denitely
exotic.
Merle Oberon, for example. When
she first came to Hollywood she
highlighted her cheek bones with
powdered gold to catch the light

many diseases. such as beriberi,
pellagra, or diabetes, neuritis is
a frequent complication. These
diseases are associated with loss
of appetite and failure of the
bowels TO absorb the necessary
materials. In such cases, vita
min B1 is very helpful in con-
trolling the symptoms.
yitamin BI is available in
fresh foods, such as potatoes. ma
tive vegetables, pork and liver,
eggs, milk, fruits and especially
beans and whole grain cereals.
The substitution of such ma
terials for refined cereals and
for dried foods will frequently
bring about improvement. II
vitamin B1 is needed. dried yeast,
wheat germ, liver. kidney. and
pure vitamin B1 added TO the
diet will help TO take care OF
the deficiency.
Special attention must always
be given to the diet of people
who have debilitating diseases
of the types that have been men
toned: and especially to people
with fever. excessive action of
the thyroid gland, or severe
gastro-intestinal diseases. The
amount to be given must be de-
termined by physician who has
studied carefully not only the
patient but also the nature Of
the case.

Your HEALTH GOOD TASTE TO-DAY
Winter Goats At A Wedding


Dear Mrs. Post. Does the
groom's mother wear her heavy
street coat in to the church at an
afternoon wedding this season of
the year? If she does, then the
dress and hat that ! wanted to
wear at my sons wedding are not
going to look very pretty in
church because my coat is being
worn this winter from necessity
and not because it is still good
looking or even becoming.
Answer: There should be some
body to look after your coat as
well as all those of the bridal
party. But if you find there is no
one, then it is question of how
crowded the church is. II there
is plenty of room at the back, you
could ask the usher to lay it in a
rear pew. Otherwise the alterna-
tive would be to roll it up and leave
it on the floor at the back of the
church, or to ask the usher or your
husband to carry it up the aisle
for you.

BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Chiefly significa an among
symptoms associated with de-
ficiency of vitamin B1 is neu-
ritis. Sometimes neuritis merely
means localized pain due to dis
turbance in a nerve. Frequently
the nerve which Is at fault can
be determined by careful ex-
animation on the part of the
physician.
In some instances the prescrip-
ton of large doses of vitamin B1
has resulted in the disappearance
of localized pain of such charac-
ter. Sometimes there are infec-
tions of the human body which
interfere with proper nutrition,
and the patient develops a de-
ficiency of vitamins. This is
true in typhoid fever cases,
where the requirement for vita
min B1 is increased because of
the fever. lack of appetite or ex-
cessive diarrhea.
Unquestionably the patients of
a previous generation who had
typhoid fever developed neuritis
which was ascribed to the ty-
phoid, but which was apparently
due to lack of vitamin B1 in
the diet.
There are some cases In which
poisons are particularly detri-
mental to the nerve tissues.
Sometimes vitamin B1 seems to
bring about relief. but not al
ways. Apparently this is con-
cerned with the manner in which
the poisons absorb vitamin B1.
There are a number of causes
of vitamin B1 deficiency which
are associated with the general
metabolism of the body. In
