...hair, because she looked "too much like a Hula-Hula girl." It is interesting to know that before every meal each of the waitresses in the Union must pass in review and execute an about-face in front of Miss Murray. Any traces of powder, rouge or lipstick call for serious rebuke. Little wonder that many of the waitresses resort to the Tent and Normandie ballrooms for relief. Well, despite our old-fashioned regulations, perhaps the situation down at Yale is worse. There no waitresses under 25 years of age are hired...

Hips, Hips, Hooray (RKO). "Frisby's Beauty Products" is another business enterprise in which girls sing, dance and tub. The opulent proprietress (Thelma Todd) and a pretty salesgirl (Dorothy Lee) meet two preposterous persons (Bert Wheeler & Robert Woolsey) who sell flavored lipstick. They dance a lively ballet in a stranger's office, plug a pleasant song: "Keep On Doin' What You're Doin.' " Admirers of the agonized smile of small Wheeler and the brisk dignity of cigar-chewing Woolsey will relish the automobile race which they win after a cyclone whirls them up into...

She finally got a contract broadcasting twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. E.S.T.) for Tangee Lipstick. Five years ago singing for her supper was the farthest thing from Greta Keller's mind. She was playing the lead in the Viennese production of Broadway. A Prussian with pretty legs had one of the minor parts. Her name was Marlene Dietrich...

Sargent & Ross are broadcasting for Tangee Lipstick with Greta Keller. They help give the program speed which, but for the excess of advertising comment, would make it one of the best on the air. Greta Keller has started making U. S. records. Best one so far is "Willow Weep for Me" (Brunswick). But her talent is wasted on stereotype jazz. With her warm, persuasive voice she can establish a dozen different moods.
