BEAUTY'S A CHARM
by HARRIET HINSDALE
CHAPTER XVII
"There," Jim Smith said as he
drew back to observe the effect.
"Just a little more of this sun-tan
powder and youU do."
Lucy Lee stared at her reflection.
"Oh, do you really think sol; I I
look so queer. Why, even the stuff
on my mouth Is brown I " She
thought herself a hideous object in
these varying shades of tan and
brown, even to her lips.
The make-up man chuckled.
. "Don't you worry, girlie. YouH
screen like a million, take It from
, me. I ought to know, I've made up
, thousands in my timel"
"Of course ifs all right, i Lucy
Lee," Pearl broke in. V? You have to
get nsed to it, that's all. How do
you think IT! screen, Mr. Smith?"
He regarded her critically; "You
going to take a test, too?"
"They want me jta," Pearl lied
glibly. "But I'm not at all certain
. I care about it. Perhaps some other
time, when I am more in the mood.
With all my stage experience a test
Ss really hardly necessary, is it?
Except for the photography, I sup-
. pose." , , . - :
'Well, I don't know. People like
"Yes, I I reckon it does," she
faltered..
All the big studios have voice ex
perts to iron out the rough spots,
make ladies voices more ladylike
and gentlemen's voices more mascu
line! I am going to send you to our
trainer a delightful chap. You'll
like him and he knows his stuff."
Pearl always sat through the en
tire lesson, keeping very quiet and
listening attentively. She began to
imitate the teacher's intonations,
even his figures of speech and the
turn of certain phrases, in her own
conversation. A marked improve
ment in her diction and vocabulary
became increasingly evident.
Don Ames spoke of it one night
when they were dining and dancing
at the Cocoanut Grove, It was Ne
ville Preston's little party of four
and at the moment the host and
f earl were on the noor, weaving
through the crowd in a languorous
tango which held their lithe bodies
closely entwined.
"I take off my chapeau to Pearl,
Ames remarked as they watched the
dancers drift by. "A couple of
months ago when I first saw. her
down there in Carterton, she was
Kathryn Hepburn and Harriet! just a too-fat dame pushing thirty

contracts," Mr. Smith replied dryly.
. gathering up his cosmetics and re
placing them carefully in the black
tin box. "It's kind of a custom
around the studios, you might say.'
He was at the door now. "If you
need any more help with your make-
op. Miss Carter, just give me a call.
Good luck, and don't be nervous.
- A month later and it would have
appeared to a possible observer
from Mars that Lucy Lee and Pearl
. Carter had become authentic and
rather Important denizens of the
film world. They reported to the
studio each day, usually in the late
morning, which gave them about an
hour to put in there before hunching
and not doing anything about either
calamity. Now look at her: Fifteen
pounds slimmer and ten years
younger, wearing her clothes like
the best of 'em and with a broad A
that Merle Oberon herself wouldn't
be ashamed of."
"Pearl is awfully clever and am
bitious," Lucy Lee agreed.
"Ill say she is," replied Ames
emphatically. '
Wonder if the kid doesn't savvy
what goes on ' between her step
mother and Preston, he continued to
himself. Is is possible anyone can
be so dumb after a few weeks in
this town? Everybody is talking
about them around the studio and
it's got the gossips jittering. They
figured that of course Lucy Lee was
hia girl and they can't dope this
other doll out. But migosh, it's easy
it on
at the studio cafe or. perhaps at
Sardi'a or the Brown Derby.

But no sooner did the story appear
to be "set," as they called it than
something happened to spoil it alL

"Sure, I know. I'm going to help

Trom the Cocoanut Grove
they
oci Queer tricks, you know, . were going down ta Neville Pres
ton's cottage at Malibu Beach, for
the week-end. Lucy Lee had been
there several times before and she
oved it There was the delightful
house itself, more luxurious than
any beach cottage she . had ever
imagined. There were warm sands,
soft breezes, and stretching to the
horizon, the glorious Pacific While
the background were the tawny
Malibu Mountains, rugged yet ac
cessible for hiking or riding.
It was thrilling to know that in
almost every house along the beach
dwelt some celebrity. True, seeing
them playing about on the sands
they appeared no different from
ordinary folk and often she was dis
tinctly disappointed. But that feel
ing was quickly repressed. What if
many-of the people she had seen In
pictures usually were much more
commonplace in real life than on the
screen? She told herself it wasn't
nice to be critical of them, especially
when they were so friendly to her.
Tonight as they drove down Wfl-
shire Boulevard to Santa Monica,
Lucy Lee's thoughts dwelt on how
fortunate she was. Though of course
there were some things she wished
could be different.
Daddy Carter, for instance.. She
often didn't see him for several
days. He had fallen into the habit of
not getting up until very late and
usually he had gone to bed when she
and Pearl came home at night from
the theater or wherever they may .
have been. She was afraid Daddy
Carter was drinking quite a little,
too. He said his constitution needed
tonic. Often at dinner he hardly,
uttered a word and his hands
trembled. Nerves, he said it was.
Then there was Clyde. She had
not had a letter from Clyde in weeks.
Perhaps it was that long since she
had written him. She could not re
member, exactly. The days flew by
so rapidly, it was all so exciting,
there never was time. Anyway, it
was hard to explain this thrilling
new world to Clyde because he did
not know the people and so of course
he could not possibly understand
them.
There was a great glowing blaze
of driftwood in the living-room fire
place, when they reached the cot
tage, and an attentive Filipino boy
to serve drinks as they sat before
the fire with the soothing sound of
the surf In their ears. Preston ad
mitted he was dog tired weary
after weeks of battling over stories
and production. But on Monday the
picture was to begin and. there was
a nice little part ia it for Lucy Lee.
He smiled at her and she thought'
how kind he was. She no longer felt
terrified at the thought of appear
ing in a picture. She knew he would
tell her exactly what to do. One
only had to follow the director's in
structions V.'It waa -really very
simple.' .. ; . :
"How about yon, Pearl ?" Preston
continued. "Do you still think you'd
like to do extra work as a native
woman in the Algerian sequence?
It means dark make-up, black wig
and so on, you know." ; .
- "Wait till you see the swell pub
licity I'm gonna put out On Pearl."
Ames told him. "Supreme will be
begging her to sign a contract, and
so will all thai others. Why don't
you take her on for a "bit" in your
picture, Instead of only a lousy
extra job. Eh, Fear IT"
Pearl was smiling a little as she
rose. "It would be marvelous, of
course. But dont let's talk about it
now. Everybody's sleepy. Ifs three
o'clock. Why not go to bed? Lucy
Lee here, cant keep her. eyes open."

(JP)At the tag end of a sorry sea

It was a Princeton football

been another tormenter and gave
Navy a 26-6 pasting.
Thus the Tigers salvaged some

CURTIS
The "roar of the crowd" in
spires halfbacks to make 80-yardTl
runs, kindles a spark that causes
the batsman in a pinch to smack
out a home run, spurs the star
forward to let fly with the how
itzer shot that wins the game. At
least that's the theory. Personal
experience, though limited, leads
us to suspect none of the boys
ever hear the noise, once the game
is under , way.
In tennis, boisterous ap
plause is frowned upon. Mild
hand clapping after the point
is permitted. In golf, a whisper
or a 'cough while the player is
swinging is supposed to ruin
everything. Deathlike silence is
the rule.
Last Sunday Babe Ruth's ad
mirers from the Bronx yelled
"Knock er out of the lot, Babe"
and "Clout one for me, Babe"
while the renowned bambino was
taking his backswlng at the Fresh
Meadow Country club during his
match with John Montague et al.
George Herman had heard those
shouts before and probably , they
didn't bother him much. Anyway
he turned In a card of 32 tor the
eight holes they managed to play.
Shouted encouragement while
swinging wasn't the biggest han
dicap; there were flocks of hu
manity all over the course at all
times. It was too much for the
steely-nerved Montague, who took
two fives and a six and picked up
on one hole. Babe Didrikson was
the star of the show, turning in
a better score than the ex-mysterious
phenom. The two Babes
won the match, what there was
of it.
' But the interesting question
, is just why strict silence is
ordinarily imposed, by custom
and admonition, In the inime
dite vkinity of a golfer while
in the act of doing bis stuff. It
does take concentration, no
doubt about that. But only rela
tively more than 1 required of
. the pitcher or the batsman In
baseball. We've hunch that
custom Is nine-tenths of It.
The drainage ditch that Joe
Herberger has been excavating
along the south edge of the ninth
fairway, out at the Salem Golf
club, is now complete and Joe
thinks the water will! stay off of
there this year. Likewise,, In ad
vance of a volume of water which
would make wading through the
gully on No. 12 uncomfortable,
the new . bridge there has been
floored not as substantially as
it will be later, but It's possible
to walk across Instead of down
through. The fairways have been
mowed again in spite of the diffi
culties, and they're keeping the
greens in good condition, weather
considered.

The Fighting Irish of Notre

Sweeney also who contributed de

their final game of the season,
from scoring.
The bit of Irish good fortune
which led to the only score of a
