It Is difficult to say hut sufficient that the present " day flapper never sits at home to mope as her ugly .duckling sister; does, but dances her Impudent way from one riotous evening to another, with telephone calls during the day and' luncheons at noon to save her from boredom. Besides , the glittering , pnlchrl tude of the beautiful white swan, with lustrous, spreading feathers, the plainer sister looks like the "dark swan s the changeling In the brood, who misses the color and romance of life as it rushes past her. She may have the deep I fine qualities to hold the interest of a man, but is handicapped by her failure to attract him at the be ginning, and in this wcrrld of hur ry and rush, there aren't many who will wait and learn the stored up sweetness that can be theirs for the asking. , Many have decided that rouge and powder is the answer, -and bi zarre make-ups of every descrip tion ' have transformed the' pale, Insignificant faces and made them more arresting. Perhaps that does the trick in some instances. Others, again, have affected "Indi vidual" attitudes and mannerisms. with questionable success, but be that as it may, this is a problem uppermost in the minds of all wo men. , A very Interesting treatment of this problem occurs in Ernest Pas cal's ' novel, "The Dark Swan,1 which concerns Itself with two sis ters, one. lovely of form and face, the other brilliant-minded but plain, and the Joys that life hold for each of them. Even the one man who might have loved the charm of the plainer sister, is blinded by the physical allure of the other, but the 'book Is partic ularly noteworthy because of' the unusual development of the plot. which struck Warner Bros, as be ing one admirably suited for trans lation onto the screen, and conse quently the emotional struggle that,, the "dark swan" makes for happiness , will be eeen In motion pictures, as well as print, with Marie Prevost, Helene Chadwick, and Monte' Blue enacting the story. The picture, "The Dark Swan.' will be offered local enthusiasts of the film at the Hollywood today.
