"Have you ever caught eight of your
face in soma mirror when you weren't
expecting to, and Men terrified to see
your features all gathered up into the
most unbecoming frown?'' she asks. "Or
have you seen others who let worried
little wrinkles creep into the corners of

. "Of course, we- live unaer a great
strain these days, and unless we are
careful, our faces proclaim this. My
favorite way of discouraging wrinkles
Is to give my face a good bath in soap
and water every evening, followed by a
cold pack. Then I work la my favorite
cold cream, patting it la and rubbing
my face upwards. And I keep on until
my whole face feels rested and the skin
relaxed and smooth.
"In the morning X use a different

English Producers
Are Searching for
'Movie' Queens
A London paper says:
To compete with American films, which
have formed to per cent of the films
shown in England for the last five years,
British producers are trying by means
of a nation-wide search to augment the
ranks of the film queens here with
national beauties with possible screen
talent Ivy - Duke Is among the well
known British actresses now starring in
films. Many others are being weaned
away from the stage by the picture
producers. .
Moving pioture manners In the home
are worrying many Englishmen. There
are some, though, who believe that

Straw Ballot i i
Planned by

DrSTZUBtmOK or .000.0 prjnted -straw
' ballots already called for by
1000 ' motion picture theatre! In ths
United States for ass In ths toost fsr-"-
reeoatng - straw vote ever planned la,
presidential history is being undertaken
this week by Associated first National
Pictures, Additional ballots will be
supplied to - theatres requesting them,
It ' is expected tha straw voter' will re
veal the political leanings of between
.uou.uw ana s.wu.ww voters, v i
In addition to giving an opportunity
to both' men and women to express their
presidential candidates In the field, the
straw ballot will afford an expression of
the sentiment of the people on ths uss
of light wines and beers, on tha League
of Nations issue, , and aa woman
suffrage. The straw vote will be
launched simultaneously throughout ths
country. A "Straw Vote week" will be
eet aside, the date of which will be an
nounced at tha expiration of tha 10-day
limit given to theatres for filing requests
for ballot forme.--.The
launching, of the straw 'vote has
awaited 'the now .delivered speeches af
acceptance by ths presidential., and vtoe
presidential nominees, , outlining their
platforms-and policies. . This was done
In order to obtain a more accurate can
vass of public opinion, which may have '
undergone a change of viewpoint sins
the nomination of the candidates, and
also to perfect the eoonnouS organisa
tion of exhibitors who will conduct ths
straw, vote In their theatres.
During the last 14 dsys zOOO requests
for ballot forms have been received at
"straw ballot headquarters," at Asso
ciated First National Pictures, West
Forty-eighth street New Tork, and It
Is expected that within the next 10 days
the total will be swelled to mors than
000. The average request from a thea
tre has been for 10 00 ballots, but many
are expected to call for additional forma,
as their patronage at a alngts perform
ance more often than otherwise runt
higher than that figure.
Is not necessarily Injurious. As it
per cent ef the films shown la Great
Britain are of American manufacture,
the "manners" complained of axs pri
marily of the American screen brand.
What some fathers object to is ths af
fection of their dsushters as a result
of frequent visits to picture palaoss.
They find that these flappers ape ths
mincing steps of noted film queens or
try to Imltata the scornful glances of
vamps on the slightest provocation. One
father, however, publicly states that the
manners of his children have Improved
from studying the actions of screes
stars.
