Vary Coiiieur
Often, Advice
From Fred Graf
Fred Graf, coiffeur extraordi
naire at Paramount'a New York
studio, who has dressed more fa
mous head than any executioner
of the French Revolution, be
lieves ! that womffn should vary
their styles of coiffeur as often
as possible. These changes will
change a woman's personality as
well as her looks, he believes.
"Straight, regular features
lend ' themselves easily to such
changes." Graf explained. "We
can make a girt gay and viva
cious, demure and Innocent,
wicked, flirtatious, merely by
changing the style of her hair
dress. "Claudette Colbert, for exam
ple, has such perfect features
that we can work miracl.s in
varying her characterizations.
We can make her a modern pro
fessional or business woman by
giving her a simple, modish bob.
That is how she wore her hair in
Young Man of Manhattan.'
t !Th tlffhtlv enrled bob. with
ringlets caressing her face, gives
Miss Colbert a roughish air and
that is exactly the ef'ect de
lired if she were to play a gay
Parisian mademoiselle.
Lon$ hair, hung loosely
about her shoulders, transforms
Miss Colbert Into a lovely
Juliet."
Any woman can change her
personality as easily as this, the
hairdresser went on. Coiffeurs
ihould be given as much atten
tion as clothes. No woman feels
smartly dressed unless every de
tail of her ensemble is carefully
chosen. She wonld never -think
of bearing a business outfit to a
fermal dinner, yet many women
dress their hair the same in the'
morning as they. do in the evening.
Maude Staunch
Champion of art
In Talkie Films
L I :
Talking motion pictures as a
medium of art as well as enter
tainment, have a champion in
Cyril Maude, stage star for al
most a half a century.
Maude is as enthusiastic about
the audible films that he left re
tirement in London to come to
Hollywood and appear In Para
mounbt's "Grumpy."
"Talking- pictures not only
provide entertainment," says
I Maude, "tbfey also are a great
medium for dramatic art. They
are adapted for both the heroic
and the Intimate. They are able
to register the sweep and dash
or great movement and the sub
tlest human emotions equally
well."
Maude made his stage debut in
1184 and has been starred In
more than 100 different plays.
Four years ago he retired. His
enthusiasm for the talking screen
as a new medium of flramatic ex
pression caused him to give up
that long-planned retirement and
jourbney all the "way from Lon
'den to Hollywood.

Low-downs
By HARRISON CARROLL
HOLLYWOOD, Cal. The death
of a baby has thrown Pathe's Jo
cation for "The Painted Desert"
Into gloom. r j t
With high hopes, a Los Angeles
mother boarded a train a short
time ago, accrying her 18-months-old
child. She was on her way to
the painted desert where the baby
was to appear in a motion plc-
ture. It was to portray Bill Boyd
as an infant. Later on, thousands
would see it on the screen. The
future, perhaps, might hold a suc
cessful screen career.
But tragedy intervened. The
baby died.
Now, as ever, the show must go
on. Patbe officials have secured
tnother baby. It Is a 10-month-old
boy, who was born on the des
ert. He will take the part, and he
will be seen by thousands.
Other troubles have beset the
film troupe. Storms hare- swept
the location which Is out in the
desert, 21 miles fro inthe little
town of Cameron.
But they will regain until the
necessary scenes era shot. In the
meanwhile, they feel sorrowful
about the mother, whose baby is
dead. It la one of the tragedies
that are hard to bear.
ALL PERFECT BUTLERS
The perfect butlers are not In
England, but la Hollywood. At
least six players are noted for
their Impersonation of butlers on
the screen.
Nicholas Soussanin (husband of
Olga Baclanova) Is still remem
bered for his portrayal of the
butler who wept in Adolphe Men
Jou's "Service for Ladies." Edgar
Norton is another actor .who is
noted for his perfect buttling. You
saw him in "the Love "Paradise."
Others are Bar Harburgh. Wilson
Bangs. Harold Nelson and Sidney
Braey.
Many of these actora hare
stolen scenes from principals. But
tling is a profitable prc3ssion out
here.
e .
LOIS' BET
Lois Moran has a 'nev young
man, but it's probably not serious.
. He has gone so far, however, as
to bet Lois $500 that she can't
lay off cigarettes until December.
She's taken the bet and that s
that.
According to friends, the pair
met on ship-board when Lois was
17 years old. The young man was
returning from Cambridge univer
sity. He la now in his father's
contracting business In the east.

REGULAR MENTOR
According to a studio publicity
story, a certain foreign actor,
learning English, spends hours a
day listening to a good radl, an
nouncer. Considering the other hours he
must spend trying to find one, it
Is difficult to Be how he even
makes a picture.
FOR POSTERITY
Film people a.re flocking to a
Hollywood concern which makes
disc records for home consump
tion. They record your voice on an
aluminum disc, and you have it to
hand down to the grandchildren,
some of the stars entertain their
guests with ready-prepared skits
and monologues.
TIP OFF
Look for the best of all the
screen fights In Pathe's forthcom
ing picture, "Her Man." This free-for-all
took five days to filar, and
sent several men to the hospital.
The TJ. S. C. football team, all the
available Hollywood stunt men,
and a sprinkling of professional
boxers were used. I've seen the
episode at a preview, atd take it
from me it is the acme of screen
brawls.

Maurice Chevalier Comes in
"The Big Pond;" Then
"The Lone Rider"
The Hollywood will start the
week with one of the biggest re
turn shows, "Paramount on Par
ade." Full of life and pep this

theald of many, many stars, many
wise cracks, and many, many un
usually spectacular stage sets.
This show is a Paramount pic
ture In technicolor and will ap
pear at the Hollywood today,
Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday at the Hollywood
will be shown "The Big Pond,"
the amusing and very worthwile
picture of Maurice Chevalier and
Claudette Colbert. It is the story
of a Frenchman brought to Am
erica by the girl with whom he is
In lore. Here he trains for busi
ness in the factory of the girl's
father. How the father and the
early sweetheart of the girl, who
is Claudette, try to overwork
poor Maurice and force him to
quit, and how Maurice fools them
is a good story in itself aside from
the love story.
A dashing wild west picture.
Buck Jones in "The Lone Rider"
will be the Friday and Saturday
Hollywood attraction. How love
and romance makes a hardened
outlaw give up his wild game and
become a tender husband is the
theme of the story. Vera Rey
nolds is the girl who turns the
trick.
George Arliss In "Old Eng
lish" was released September 2T.

A second good return show in
town this week is "On With the
Show" now at the Grand. It is
one of those shows that has so
much In it that one does not have
time to get bored. There is a
large cast of stars and there is
music, and tun . aad a dancing
enough to. make several shows.
A poor, old showman trying to
make his" way with' his show, a
pretty daughter, a rascal and a
nice boy In love with the daugh
ter, and ultimate success after
many tribulations make of this an
exciting venture. Joe Brown
Louise Fazenda, Sally O'Neilr
Arthur Lake, Lee Moran, aad
William Bakewell, all and many
more help to make the show
good one.
Wednesday will see the first day
for "Spring Is Here," with Ber
nlce Claire and Alexander Gray.
Songs mark this show which has
to do with young love and untlme

"The Light of Western Stars"
will be the weekend bill at the
Hollywood. Richard Arlen and
Mary Brian make this western
picture something sweet and very
pretty to remember.
Richard Arlen has not done a
better piece of work than he does
in this "western." A wild west
cowbdy, drunk, makes a promise
to marry the first white girl he
meets. He leaves the saloon and
meets Mary Just coming from the
depot. She has arrived to take
charge of a ranch left by her
brother who had been mysteri
ously shot. Richard was trying to
drown his sorrow over the death
of this man when Mary meets
him. Then complications begin.
The key man in the whole show
is Harry Green and he Is so fun
ny at times that he causes roars
of laughter and In other spots the
tears are not far away just be
cause of something sweet in the
action of splendid Harry Green.
Word 'Darky9 is
Ruled out of Al
Jolson Vehicle
1 m
When so-called obscenity is
not the object of attack from the
various boards of censors, poll
tics plays' a paramount part, de
clares Albert Howson, scenario
editor of Warner Bros. Pictures.
Mr. Howson, a veteran fn per
suading and dissuading censors,
was deeply surprised this - week
upon discovering that the Chica
go board of 'censors took excep
tion to the word "darky" in Al
Jolson's forthcmnoig film, "Big
Boy." Deletion of the allegedly
offensive word was demanded by
'the . board before they would
okeh the picture.
In a long distance phone call,
Mr. .Howson ascertained that ne
groes might take umbrage at the
word "darky."
