A review of some of Hollywood’s most famous movie queens proves the truth of this assertion. Though the artistry of Greta Garbo is recognized all over the worlt!, it is problematic as to whether any of her millions of tans would regard her as the same Greta, were it not for the characteristic long bob she has made famous Another star whose hair is her fortune is gorgeous Jean Harlow, whose platinum tresses proved an outstanding asset in her climb to stardom. The same is true of Clara Bow, the carrot-topped “It’ girl, whose flaming thatch became a model for millions of girls ail over the world The girl who wishes a coiffure to lend any desired personality may find a model among screen royalty. For those who desire to appear sophisticated, the coiffure es Joan Crawford could not be improved upon. Though Joan was a box office draw before she experimented with her hair, it was not until she adopted her present long bob with ear bangs that she became the glamorous personality she is today. At the other extreme is tl.e demure type of coiffure, of which Ann Hard.ng sis a s’, ining example. Ann’s beautiful blond? hair, simply fastened in a knot on the nape of h*»r neck, enhances her natural a*r simplicity and maidenly modesty.

Hollywood —(We've often heard, i and laughed at the idea, of a man attempting to lift himself up by his bo (strips, but it is a fact that , many a movie a.tres- has virtually lifted he self to stardom by her , hair.. Altin ugh it s unds incredible, it ■ is t tie that the crowning glory is one of the nt st important factors I in movie success and the whole career f an aspirant to fame may hinge upon the manner in which -lie dresses her hair. Most of the studios maintain high i iced c :iffure experts, whose sole ; job it is to i reate distinctive styles of hair-d.ess for the screen luminaries—coiffures that reflect the personality and makes it more pronounced. Some stars have gained entirely new pens nalities by nte-e---ly changing the style in which they wore their hair. Othe.s experimented with different coiffures until they hit on one that was distinctly out of the ordinary and de1‘ ted their fans. 1 t\ distinctive hair-dre s his been given icedit as the key to popularity and that is why one sees s> many different styles among the brilliant constellation that ; ules the screen today.

SYNOPSIS At 11t30 on New Year’s Eve, Police Comissioner Thatcher Colt arrives at the exclusive Mayfair (Tub in response to a mysterious summons from District Attorney Merle Dougherty. The latter informs Colt he believes Lola Carew e, known i as "The Night-Club Lady”, widow I of Gaylord Gifford, the cotton mil- j lionaire is the “higher-up” respon- J sib'c for numerous jewel robberies J perpetrated recently which baffle the I police. Though her husband died • practically penniless. Lola lives in 1 luxury. She arrives at the Mayfair accompanied by Vincent Row land, j an attorney. Following a spirited , discussion. Lola sends a note to Colt, I urging him to join her. stating that I a life is at stake and she must speak I with him. I CHAPTER THREE A S Thatcher Colt reached her A table, Lola Carewe extended -s >■ one hand, exclaiming: “Forgive me, Mr. Commissioner. I I would not have done this’for the world if I had not felt driven to it." Extra chairs were brought and presently five of us were gathered around the table. All felt at least ( a little self-conscious. There was a moment’s awkward silence. On nearer view the effect of Lola Carewe’s beauty was still startling. If she did not look so youthful, her expression was more mobile, her glances even more brilliant. The woman’s eyes were extraordinarily large and alive, with a cat-like trick of changing their lustre. Behind her outward poise, I sensed a fierce nervous tension. “Mr. Colt,”—she began boldly • enough, but her lips were trembling —“I hope—l—l ” “Better wait a moment,” suff- ' gested the Commissioner, soothing- 1 ly. “There's plenty of time.” And i then, turning the subject, he added, “What a magnificent ruby you are wearing tonight.” ■ His eyes dawdled admiringly on a gleaming, fiery stone, pendant on a chain of pearls around her throat. With a little humming cry, Lola lifted the stone, fixed in a gold setting of exquisite craft, and held it up in her palm. Colt's dark head inclined forward, as he studied the shining bauble. “So much more beautiful than the purplish color of most large . rubies!” he remarked softly. “You talk like a connoisseur, Mr. Colt!” Lola exclaimed. The subject of jewels seemed to lull her ner- . vousness; she was at once more ' j composed. “Do you know precious stones?” “A police chief has to know something about jewels,” Dougherty inserted with a wink at Rowland and a noisy chuckle. “He has to find so many stolen ones.” Colt’s eyes, leaving Lola’s face, ’ returned to the ruby. ■ “The weight of this one,” he murmured, "must be at least twentyfive carats.” "Twenty-five and a half,” she corrected him proudly. "There are so many famous diamonds—and so few famous rubies," lamented Colt. “I suppose this one I came from some old Burmese king who needed ready cash?” His brows lifted in well-disposed curiosity. r I"I do not know the ruby’s history,” Lola answered, with a rest- ; less fidget of her shoulders. “I have had it for many years. Mr. Colt, I shouldn’t be troubling you like ! this. .. .” Her voice died away, but it was plain she now wished to turn the talk back to her own purpose. Colt lingered, absorbed in the jewel. i “Nearly all large rubies are at t least slightly striated,” he rambled on. "But this one is virtually flaw--1 ' less. It is even more beautiful than the famous Lucky Baldwin. Such a

stone enters the market only about once in a century. Os course you 1 realize that you are taking a great i risk in wearing it around New York?” “Just what I was telling her,” agreed old Rowland crisply. “But it’s New Year’s Eve!” protested Lola Carewe. As if her words were the cue to Father Time, a bell began to chime. It was the long-awaited signal for noise. The remaining midnight strokes were obliterated in the clamor instantly let loose in the Crystal Room; a brattle and brangle of cheers and shouts, knives and forks drumming on china, the froglike croaking of rattles and a hoarse blast of horns. Many stood and waved their napkins while others sang “Auld Lang Syne.” The little New Year was getting "a great big hand” in Mayfair. Brightly Lola Carewe glanced around het. She lifted her napkin, as if intending to rise and wave and sing with the rest. Then a change came over her; she put down the napkin and clasped her hands rigidly as she looked at Thatcher Colt. "I am not afraid of jewel thieves.” she declared, a trace of challenge in her voice. “There are things in this world worse than jewel thieves.” In the din her voice was almost lost. Every minute the revel grew more boisterous. We could only sit and wait until a fanfare of clarinets and saxophones signalled the first dance of the New Year, and the charivari gave way to a fox-trot. “And what is it you do fear?” resumed Colt, his glance leaving ! the dancers and lingering on the , ruby. i “That you, Mr. Colt, will not ; take my story seriously.” i “I shall ask only for facts.” . “Will you recognize them r.s . facts? Or will you think me mad?” t Her sidelong glance might have I been demented oi sinister —or ■ merely a look of deep-rooted fear. II “1 shall listen attentively," prom--11 ised Colt.
