Gregory La Cava, who is reputed
to write his scripts as he goes along,
and hereby definitely proves it, has
directed one of his most feather
Drained ideas in Lady in a jam"
Broadly speaking, it involves
subject that is not precisely the
reverse of that of Lady in the
Dark" It also deals with scatter
Drained female and her psychiatrist,
a combination that was virtually
bound to become standard comedy
theme.
Miss Dunno, naturally the lady
In the jam, is an heiress so poor
of intellect that she cannot compre-
hend the stark fact of bankruptcy.
She thinks it is a special kind of
practical joke her guardian is play
ing upon her, a little irritating in
some aspects, but not without its
moments of amusement. Her single
reliance during the ordeal is young
psychiatrist who has attached him
self to her with that frightening
Platonism of young scientists. special
izing in Strengthening out the love
lives of women who don't know how
unmysterious it all actually Is. She
interests him as a sort of special
case, a pretty thing whose emotions,
he thinks, may have become added
as result of an unfinished fight
with her first beau in Arizona when
she was 8.
Within that outline, the story goes
on and on through some scenes that
are funny in slapstick way, few
that approach subtlety, and many
from which any cleverness is so
starkly absent that you wonder what
Miss Dunno is doing in them. There
Is one, for instance, in which she
emerges from a dunking in the stope
of an abandoned gold mine looking
like something from the primeval
ooze. Instead Of being funny. it
leaves you with merely the feeling
that somebody was trying des-

perately to be funny at the expense
of Miss Dunno.
There is less of humor, too, than
Mr.. La Cava realizes in the role as
signed to Bellamy. He plays love-
sick cowboy, including an endless
song which Bellamy croons in the
best coyote tradition to Miss Dunno.
and ending in calf wrestle that
is slapstick at its dullest.
With her flair for comedy, Miss
Dunno retrieves enough from the
script Of Lady in a Jam" to re-
mind her fans that she still is one
of the loveliest and most capable
ladies in the business of arousing
laughter.
But her latest definitely is not one
of her best pictures.

facial features. The ones that ]
am asked about most often are a
large nos and prominent jaw, q
small chin and a receding or pro-
truding forehead.
In the case Of a prominent nose
and jaw, shorten the space between
your ear and chin by eliminating
waves that slant in the same d.
recti0n as your chin. Waves should
slant up toward your forehead. To
further break the long line from the
top of your forehead to the end Of
your nose, bring your hair forward
in rolls or curls over the brow.
To make a small chin look longer,
slant your wave down toward the
chin rather than up toward your
forehead. Never wear bangs or rolls
out over your brow. Comb your
hair back off your forehead and
leave it fiat. This will give your
chin more prominence.

It's january Time to turn over
a new leaf. Resolve to be q lovelier,

yourself a thorough check-up. Have
you been making the most Of your
good points? Have you been play
ing down your bad points? Let's
start with your hair, because the
one thing that men notice most
about q woman Is her hair.
The right hair-do can do wonders
in correcting feature defects and
creating the illusion Of a perfectly
balanced face.
For instance, if you have a broad,
square face, find a hair style that
makes your face seem longer and
less wide. Bangs may be cute on
your slim-faced sister, but they're
not for you. Stay clear of a short
bob with curls punched over your
ars Don't wear your hair parted
in the center or fiat on the top of
your head. All Of these things only
tend to accentuate the broadness of
your face. The most f1~attering style
for you is a fairly long bob with
soft curls around your neck. This
will make your face appear longer.
Build out your top hair to CORE
spOnd with the width of your cheek
bones and train it into a forward
roll that dips slightly on the center
of your forehead. This will break
the square, broad line at the top.
On the other hand, if your face is
long and narrow, your problem is
to affect a hair-do that makes your
face seem shorter and wider. In
this case, the popular, high pompa-
dour styles are out. Don't go In for
severely sleek hair styles. For ex-
ample, a long, straight bob will
make your face longer and
narrower than it actually is. The
most becoming style for Your type
is a low side part with the hair
combed fiat across the top IF your
head. This gives you a horizontal
line that makes your forehead
seem broader. A fairly short hob
with curls punched out at the side
will give the lower part Of your
face a wider look. Beware OF plac-
ing your curls too far forward on
your face.
The right hair style can do much
