Dekker plays the heavy" In

when he is particularly annoyed,
he whips out his six-shooter and
kills his victim.
In filming this sequence Direc-
tor John Farrow planned to pho
tograph Dekker shooting the

Apparently Dekker didn't un-
derstand all the details of the di-

camera swung around TO atch

Expert makeup men agree
that the actress Is by long odds
the most beautiful woman in
Hollywood and wonder what the
result might be if she were to
submit to their re-touching art.
They have never had q chance
because Miss Bergman has pass
ed them all by with a smile, al
ways completely lovely and
looking as If she had just washed
her face in spring water and
dried her fine hair in sunshine.
AS a matter of fact, she has
resisted all of Hollywood with
the same kind of firm but soft
denial - never aloof or foreign
and superior, but as if she were,
say, a housewife from San Fran
cisco, Cal, in town on some in
teresting business. She is, of
course, a housewife from San
Francisco, and although motion
pictures mean a great deal to
her, her doctor husband and
young son mean more. She likes
movies and acts in them. Other
housewives like movies and 60
to see them.
When she came to Warner
Bros. to make Saratoga Trunk, "
with Gary Cooper as her leading
man and contrast, the House of
Westmore, famed for makeup,
was delighted and made certain
elaborate preparations for the
comfort of the beautiful Swedish
star. But outside of wearing a
black wig and having her eye
brows darkened for her role as
a beautiful Creole, she was never
seen in the makeup department.

and Mrs. H. T. Bailey, of Lexington.
Sherman received the bull throu-
gh the HUMPHREYS Stock Farm at
Durant for the price of the registr-

fees. This stock farm has only good
registered Jersey dairy cattle and
offers to any worthy All boy in

through the same procedure.
The All Club boys deserve the

no inferior cattle are being given
to All Club boys through Humph-
ries Stock Farm.
