Screen Star Capita|izes on Bad Features
: BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

MY mouth is large, my teeth are
irregular, my eyebrows are crooked,
and my hair is streaked," says
blcnde-maned Lauren Bacall, new
est sensation of the screen, whose
admission should hearten girls who
think they're licked by non-con-
forming features.
What might be considered faults
are turned into compelling virtues
by this high-voltage charmer. Bright
red lipstick points up her generous
mouth Instead of hiding sunstreaks
in hair by devious Golf, she wears
long flowing bob to play up two
toned colors. Eyebrows which might
be tanned with tweeZers or pencil
markings remain natural and add
their fascinating quirks to tilted
green eyes.
Like Lauren, you can wear irreg-
ular features as badge of distinc-
ton; put premium on individual
ity by refusing to be a carbon copy
of somebody else.
Because she dared to walk, talk,
dress and act for the camera as
naturally as if there had been no
lens to face, this former fashion
model Zoomed to stardom in one
picture-''To Have and Have Not"
and has won fame, while many
pictorially perfect girls in Holly
wood remain unsung and unhonor-
ed.
To her natural endowments she
has added some of her own choos-
ing. One attribute is poise, which
she says you develop by mingling
with people; by thinking of the
other person instead of yourself:
by refusing to show embarrassment.
The other attribute is voice"
A distinctive voice, she insists, is
important to have, if you want peo-
pie to listen to you. With training,

 From the time the 35th doughs hit Omaha beach in France in July, l944, until the Germans sur rendered, they served with the American First, Third, Seventh, Ninth and Fifteenth Armies. and fought the Wehrmacht from St.. Lo to the Elbe River.
 In the line two days after hit- ting the Omaha beach, the men who wear the Santa Fe cross on their shoulders fought their way across the Cherbourg peninsula, and in one of the most vicious battles in France, repulsed Q counterattack that threatened to overrun AvrancheS. The 35th continued to drive straight across France, spanning the Loing, Seine, Loire, Marbe, and Mouse Rivers. It liberated Nancy, and on Dec. 5, fired its first round into Ger many, and then crossed the Saar.
 During the Battle of the Bulge, the 35th made three great jumps. It was shifted to the First Army. During the Christmas holidays 1t plunged into battle. It repulsed four crack German divisions on the right flank of the Bastogne highway. This threat ended, the men of the Santa Fe made a dra- matic leap to the Seventh Army in the South, where breakthrough was threatened. Again the S5th held, and in bitter weather was rushed 292 miles north to join the Ninth Army. Worn from con- stant battle, the 35th doughs banged away at the Germans trapped in the Vessel pocket, and drove into the Ruhr. Later, the l 35th joined the Fifteenth Army.
