new stars to add to the cinema
armament and at present the
lens is being focused on Swiss
miss, Elisabeth Mueller.

lead with Robert Taylor in

suggest so many changes that
I would look like everybody
else. But I found they had no
desire to destroy my individu-

everyone can be beautiful but
we can be individual. never
