Over World Do you think that there Is only one Clara Bow? If you do you are wrong, ac cording to George N. Kates, head of the foreign relations depart ment of the Paramount studios, who says that there are literally thousands of Clara Bows all over the world. Among the conclusions Kates made in a study of foreign needs in motion pictures was the one that Clara Bow Is no longer an In dividual but a type. "Had Clara Bow been a cashier in a vinegar factory she would have grown up solely herself," Kates said recently. "But Instead she chose to enter the motion pic tures and because she has become the most popular of feminine stars, she has followers all over the world. One Informant recently wrote that the shock of his life came while strolling down a quaint old land in Spain when he came face to face with two AndalusUn girls wearing their hair exactly as does Clara Bow and looking strikingly like her. "It's the same the world over. Go into any high school today and you'll see Clara Bow there. On a recent trip to New York I pur posely studied the groups of vil lagers at the stations in each town and in each gathering there wu a Clara Bow." Greater impetus to the Bow mannerism vogue and to the fad for Bow hair-dressing is expected rrom the next Bow release, "The Wfld Party." an all-talking pie ture of flaming and unbridled youth on the campus, is now the current attraction at the Elsinore with Fanchon A Marco vaudeville as the stage attraction.
