Miss Lupino is not the only
actress who finds herself posing
for pictures that are mysterious
not only 10 the celebrated sub
jects but to their admirers among
the theatre-going public. The
other day Eleanor Parker,
Warner Brothers starlet, found
herself in a sarong, with one arm
on a bamboo cage and her feet
on a shimmering silken drapery.
Somebody told her that she
represented the primitive i'm
stincts in civilized races. She let
it go at that.
Equally artistic and ineXplica-
Bile was another still of ac-
tress Dolores Moran. She was
poured into a satin evening gown
and draped on a gigantic target
punctured here and there with
assorted arrows. Nobody told
her what this means and she
doesn't care so long as she gets
her picture in the papers.
