 The returns are good for the time they spent in training. The men sax they figure women win find money for permanents and Mir-dos whether times are good or bad. And the fact that women. the country over. seem to prefer male beauty operators to female ones gives men an edge in the trade.
 The last reason is understandable in view of the fact that most wom- en prefer having men handle really important matters for them.

Ida attributes most Of her success to 10 hours of sleep nightly.

 Resting an hour after each meal is also part Of her plan. Also stay- ing of her feet as much as possible is schemed for by this actress. Her inslstence that the standing posi- ton contributes to weight loss Is confirmed by doctors.

There is joy quite like that of owning pet for the first time-but then there Is the gradual waning of interest the novelty wears on. Later the pet becomes nuisance and S subjected to cruelty by neglect. Mrs. Thomas G. Vail, director of Humane Education of the Connecticut Humane Society. says al this could be avoided if little more thought were given in the first instance by mpulsve donors Live animals should not be given pets unless s nrst aseertained that the pet is wanted: that it will have good home; that will receive proper care and thai there will be adult in the household responsible for the animals care. The donor should be the pur- chased pet Is free of disease especially distemper The donor should also consider the best type of pet suited for the child; lively dog for boy and quiet puppy or kitten for little girl Environment is also import ant. In crowded city districts apartments small dog or a eat would be suitable whereas large dog would have more room to exercise a farm Or in a suburban area. Parents and teachers are coming to realize and the educational value of pets and with the proper thought given to their and train ing they should be of constant joy to the house hold.

Only he won't sing like Jolson
Al will take care of that himself.
At home he played the Jolson
records. over and over. For enter
tainment, he and Betty saw old
Jolson pictures. At times, says
Betty. she felt like Ruby Keeler.
Parks set a studio record. working
before the cameras 127 continuous
days and nights - Sundays includ-
ed. He played under the very eyes
of the man he was impersonating.
Jolson was not an easy man to
please. And he was certainly the ac-
knowledged authority on the sub
ject of Al Jolson.
Running \ Temperature
LARRY ran temperature - as high
as l02 degrees A former medical
student, he doctored himself, told
no one. His weight dropped from
l6O to 146.
But when he sat with Jolson and
studio executives in tiny projection
room and watched the rushes, he
knew it was OK. The executives
said nothing, but Parks had been
around Hollywood long time, and
could sense their approval.
1t is considered dangerous to dis
cuss the marital happiness of Holly
wood couples in print. They have
been known to sneak in a divorce
between editions.
Don't worry about it," Betty
Garrett told me. Nothing is likely
to happen to our marriage until we
start living together"
The careers that parted them
will reunite them soon. Holly
wood has sent for Betty Garrett.
She should do well in pictures.
Her features are candid and photo
genie. Her singing voice is appealing,
in a low register but not husky. She
can act, and has an exquisite comic
sense Broadway is crazy about her.

The only break they got was when
Betty was able to join her husband
in Hollywood, between her Broad
way shows, just when he got his
chance in The Jolson Story"
1t happened, one report is, be-
cause Harry Cohn. president of
Columbia, had been interviewing all
too many Jolson impersonators,
amateur and professional. He was
afraid to leave his Office for fear of
being waylaid by hordes of aspirants
who would roll their eyes, stick out

Cohn was at first incredulous.
you mean to say you have never
tried an imitation of AL Jolson -
even in fun?"
Il wouldn't know how" admitted
Larry Parks.
We've Got Hizn!"
lHE effect of his answer was elec-
tric. Jolson wrung his hand warmly.
Cohn executed dance of triumph.
We've got him! The very man
for the role!'
And so Larry Parks got the job of
impersonating AL Jolson.
According to Betty, however.
Larry's success wasn't quite so SIM
pie. He spent three months as Jol-
sons constant companion. aping the
older mans tricks, watching his
movements - the way he walked
and talked, cooked his head, showed
the whites of his eyes. He even went
to the synagogue with Jolson, to ac-
quire a knowledge of the ritual.

hattan's stately towers. But at mid
night Larry looked at his watch and
said: Pretty late = I'd better be
taking you home"
Her good night to him was little
cold. 1t was only afterwards that she
realized that midnight might seem
a more ungodly hour to the early
rising Hollywoodians than to the
night owls of Broadway. When he
had returned to the Coast she found
herself strangely restless. Must be
love-" she reasoned.
The third time she knew. They

was told that if l interviewed
him he would probably talk only
about his wife. Betty Garrett. in
terviewed Betty Garrett instead.
She is the blue-eyed singing comedi-
enne, the hit of the Broadway musi-
cal, Call Me Mister" 1t would
have been all right for her to talk
about herself. But ineluctably, as
the fellow says. she talked only
about Larry Parks.
Theirs is not conventional mar
riage. He lives in Hollywood with
his mother. She lives in New York
City with her mother. The arrange
ment has certain disadvantages.
Home 10 Mother
In CASE of quarrel" Betty Gar
rett comments wryly, Il can hardly
threaten to 60 home to Mother"
There are other disadvantages.
But though continent divides it,
the marriage has held up we'll for
two years. Nor has it all been as dis
tant as it sounds. Miss Garrett esti-
mates that she and her husband have
been able to spend some seven
months together in all, "and that's
no worse than many a CT bride had
to be content with"
Larry Parks wanted wife he
could talk shop to. He never
sought to interfere with her
Broadway career. And SO they
married, and parted.
Larry was grinding out innumer-
able thrillers. He sped their court
ship as if it. too, were on a "B"
budget. Too little time for frills.
