Editor of Vogue itself is Edna Woolman Chase (mother of Actress-Author Ilka), an amber-eyed, blue-haired, 66-year-old. An able, experienced judge of style trends, Mrs. Chase started in the circulation department 38 years ago, in no time was writing picture captions.

Miss Hobson, besides being a sensible actress, is one cinemactress who can really be described as beautiful.
