...girl can get a free (and good) hairdo at the National School of Cosmeticians (33 West 46th Street) but she probably is starving herself to keep in stockings and clothes...
...much in salutation to the memory of England's well-loved "Old Girl" (scrapped in 1935) as in greeting to her namesake, 2,000 welcomers hallooed, waved, blew whistles, made comparisons. They found the new Mauretania a sturdier but less speedy version of the old, nearly two knots slower (average speed: 20.7 knots); less roomy (1,300 passengers); 13 feet shorter (length overall: 722 feet), but 4,000 tons heavier. Built for comfort, she will never duplicate the speed record of the "Old Girl," who held the mythical Blue Riband 22 years, until Germany's Bremen took...
Maisie (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is quite a girl. A tank-town showgirl from Denver, but no blowzer, she is frank, fresh, full-blown, natural, vibrantly on the up & up. Maisie lets the cinemaudience know early that life has braced her for a right uppercut and a left to the jaw, so being stranded in Big Horn, Wyo. with only 15? during rodeo week puts no undue strain on her morale.

Cinemaddicts know curvilinear Ann Sothern as a glamor girl, and as a glamor girl she has endured all the familiar permutations. When she was born in North Dakota, her name was Harriette Lake (of the submarine Lakes). When Columbia Pictures signed her, Harriette changed her name to Ann Sothern, dyed her brown hair to varying blonde shades, got nowhere in particular. RKO took her over, let her hair drift back to its natural shade, called her a "brownette," let her endorse Luckies...
...Streets of Paris (produced by the Shuberts and Olsen & Johnson). Once Broadway had a summer season when producers trotted out fleecy and filmy girl shows. But with the decline of musicomedy and the growth of the straw-hat theatre, producers took to estivating. Show business decided months ago, however, that, with World's Fair crowds in the offing, this was to be no ordinary summer. The World's Fair began by knocking show business groggy; but by last week, when the first of the summer musicals opened, show business was up on one knee, with a chance...
