Paula knows we'll the heart-aches
OF the homely girl. She grew UP an
ugly duckling-skinny. dark. with
enormous eyes that seemed too big
for her face. a high forehead and
q chin that was as indefinite as her
nose was prominent. In spite Of
them, she was determined to have
q stage career and has had very
successful one. She has played
every kind Of a role on the stage
and is adored by night-club goers
for her pert mirnlcry and gay.
satirical songs.
Had Good Beginning
At first the actress tried out all
the beauty tricks that were sug-
gested to her. She tried soft" hair
dos that were supposed to do some
thing for her irregular features
she looked q mess. She tried max
ing up her mouth this way or that
no luck. She tried plucking her
eyebrows, Strengthening them, ex-
tending them, turning them up and
looked worse than ever.
Finally, like the girl in the Millay
poem, she said, If I can't be sorry.
might as we'll be glad" and there
after decided to be herself, even
with a little exaggeration. With
this decision her real personality
and striking. individual kind Of
beauty began to emerge.
All was not bad even in the be-
ginning. She had clear. pale olive
skin, big, long dashed brown eyes, a
slim but beautifully proportioned
figure. She has passion for neat
ness and beautiful. simply tailored
almost Severe-clotheS. She loves
white and pastel colors. even in the
wintertime, and they make lovely
foil for her dark hair, even COM
plexion coloring and the rich, red
lipstick and nail polish she uses for
accent.
Natural Lipline
She no longer tries to change the
shape of her mouth, but follows its
natural lipline. Eye makeup is
conservative. She uses mascara for
the stage and lines the upper lids
carefully, but uses nothing for the
street. Her eyebrows, which are
naturally thin and highly arched.
are darkened and accented for her
night club appearances, but left
natural at other times. Her stage
makeup, which differs very little
from that used every day. except in
quantity. is aimed to make her'ap-
pear from a distance as She does
close up. A deeper foundation
cream Is blended carefully along
sides Of her face to accent its sleh-
derneSs.
Hair drawn up at the sides and
back is more flattering to the nose.
so she wears 1t UP, pinned securely
into place. Only the top section Of
the hair Is shaped and waved SO 1t
drops slightly forward on the fore
head in fluffy curls. Since her face
as a whole Is tiny. she likes to give
it a graceful background. as lace
mantilla. a cowl or drapery.
For night club appearances she
adds some sort of exotic headdress
of flowers. fruits or feathers. which
has become a sort Of trademark her
audience has learned to look for.
This. she admits. is theatrical
trick, but one that's justified by
less-than- perfect features. Not one
of these tricks adds "prettiness."
but each one contributes something
to her stunning. memorable APP
pearance.
