00:04:50♪♪
00:05:00What's wrong with that?
00:05:01Plenty. Maybe I want to come home at night and scatter newspapers on the floor,
00:05:04have people drop in for potluck, or suddenly both of us go out on the town.
00:05:08I'd like to see you open a bottle of champagne just once
00:05:11instead of putting every dime into some new gadget for the house.
00:05:15John, what's happened to you?
00:05:17What's happened to us?
00:05:19We've simply grown up.
00:05:21Or at least I have.
00:05:24John, if you still want to ask Harvey and Jane to...
00:05:28Forget it. I'll take them out to the country club.
00:05:37Well, Miss Ginger Waldron.
00:05:41Mrs. Winkle, please.
00:05:44Mrs. Winkle. Mrs. Winkle, please.
00:05:49Mrs. Winkle. Mrs. Winkle, please.
00:05:54Aren't you a little late, Ginger?
00:05:56I'm sorry, Miss Turner.
00:05:58You'll find that in Hollywood, as elsewhere, promptness is a virtue.
00:06:01I've taught you that success comes only with hard work.
00:06:04And we all expect you to make the Lake House Dancing School proud of you.
00:06:09Yes, Miss Turner. I'll tell everyone that you taught me my dances, too.
00:06:13That'll be very nice. Yes, that'll be very nice indeed.
00:06:17All right, children. On your toes.
00:06:22Smile, children. Smile.
00:06:25Mrs. Winkle, now.
00:06:47Ginger, what's the matter?
00:07:17Hi, Ginger. I saw your picture in the paper.
00:07:20You sure must be a happy little girl.
00:07:23Thank you, Becky. Is my Uncle Marty here?
00:07:26He's in his office. Go on in.
00:07:31Well, my little girl that got a picture in the papers.
00:07:34Ginger, honey, your Uncle Marty's sure proud of you.
00:07:37I'm sure of it.
00:07:39I'm sure of it.
00:07:41I'm sure of it.
00:07:43I'm sure of it.
00:07:45Ginger, honey, your Uncle Marty's sure proud of you.
00:07:48You know, I always said that you were the most talented kid in this whole state.
00:07:52Which reminds me. Where's that dime you bet me? Come on.
00:07:55That's what I like. A woman who pays her debts.
00:07:58Another dime for the community chest.
00:08:00Of course, when you're a big movie star, you'll have to come across with lots more than that.
00:08:04Now, tell me all about it. When do you leave?
00:08:07I don't know. Well, I guess the studio will worry your mother.
00:08:10You know, you just take after your Uncle Marty. You know that, don't you?
00:08:13I was no mean hoofer myself a few years back.
00:08:19Hey, you look kind of gloomy for a little girl that's going to Hollywood.
00:08:24Uncle Marty, I'm afraid.
00:08:27What do you mean afraid? Making pictures is no different than dancing right here in Lakehart.
00:08:31In fact, it's easier with the good directors they have out there.
00:08:34Well, I don't mean that part. It's just that maybe if Mama takes me to Hollywood,
00:08:39she won't come back here to Daddy.
00:08:41What ever gave you a silly idea like that, huh?
00:08:44Just old Uncle Marty. They had an awful argument this morning.
00:08:49Ginger, all married couples argue sometimes.
00:08:52That doesn't mean they want to leave each other.
00:08:55Mom and Daddy do. I know, because they said so.
00:08:59Ruth and Doc? I can't believe it.
00:09:03Ginger, tell me, what's this all about, huh?
00:09:08Daddy got mad because Mama won't have his swimsuit for dinner.
00:09:12Oh, that's nothing serious. That happens every day in thousands of homes, everywhere.
00:09:17But Uncle Marty, you don't understand. There's more.
00:09:20Sure, there always is.
00:09:22And then tonight, he'll bring home a box of candy, and all will be forgiven.
00:09:26You know something? That's one of the reasons I never got married myself.
00:09:29I can't afford all that candy.
00:09:32But they said something about getting a divorce.
00:09:36Well, if it got that bad, you'd be stuck for at least a bottle of perfume.
00:09:41Uncle Marty, do you think they'll be all right?
00:09:43Sure. And you'll get to Hollywood if I have to take you there myself.
00:09:48Hey, that's not a bad idea.
00:09:51I've got a few thoughts of my own about making pictures.
00:09:54Tower pictures?
00:09:55That's the kind I'd make.
00:09:57Now, will you stop worrying?
00:09:59Uh-oh. The doors are open.
00:10:02Better hurry if you want a front row seat.
00:10:06Uncle Marty, I love you so much.
00:10:10Oh, that's just because I own a theater.
00:10:18Okay. Is there a doctor in the house?
00:10:20Just by accident. There happens to be one in that office.
00:10:24Marty, you can go right in. The doctor's alone.
00:10:26Thanks.
00:10:30Hello, Marty.
00:10:31Okay, okay. You were right about Ginger.
00:10:34Yes, but I'm not here to talk about my favorite protege.
00:10:37Oh, is that back troubling you again?
00:10:40No, John. This isn't a professional call. It's personal.
00:10:44In fact, maybe it's too personal.
00:10:48Well, now, Marty, you know there's nothing we can't discuss.
00:10:52You're not in some kind of trouble.
00:10:55Look, Doc, we were pals for a long time before you married my sister.
00:11:00We never pulled any punches.
00:11:02So here it is straight.
00:11:04What gives with you and Ruth?
00:11:09And Ginger did hear us this morning.
00:11:12Yes, she did.
00:11:13That youngster actually thought you and Ruth were on the point of a divorce.
00:11:17I assume Ginger's just imagining.
00:11:20I don't know, Marty. I don't know.
00:11:23But you and Ruth unhappy?
00:11:25Why, if two people ever spoke the same language, what's happened?
00:11:30You really want me to answer that?
00:11:32Of course.
00:11:33Then I'll have to speak to you man to man and not as Ruth's brother.
00:11:37Sure.
00:11:39Marty, a marriage contract's an odd thing.
00:11:43It's made up of many compromises.
00:11:45Now, you said yourself that Ruth and I used to speak the same language.
00:11:49Well, that's true.
00:11:50We shared the same likes and dislikes and even the same ambitions.
00:11:54She's a good mother?
00:11:55There's no doubt about that. I'm very proud of Ginger.
00:11:58She keeps a lovely home.
00:12:00And that's very true.
00:12:02But Marty, a husband wants more than just a housekeeper.
00:12:06If he's faithful, he wants his wife to keep alive that urge that attracted him to her in the first place.
00:12:12Well, I...
00:12:13I've made you uncomfortable. I'm sorry.
00:12:15Well, let's drop it.
00:12:17No.
00:12:18If there's one thing that's got to be smelted, it's this.
00:12:21Not because of you and Ruth.
00:12:22Although that's important.
00:12:24But for Ginger's sake.
00:12:26John, if you could have seen the look on that child's face this morning.
00:12:30I did see it.
00:12:31Then in heaven's name, don't let this thing happen.
00:12:34And about your private life with Ruth, well...
00:12:37It is possible you might expect too much of her.
00:12:40Why is it too much to expect a woman to keep herself attractive?
00:12:44After all, a man falls in love with a woman who appeals to him physically as well as spiritually.
00:12:49It's their mutual duty to keep those qualities alive.
00:12:53But they don't die, do they?
00:12:56Let me explain it to you this way.
00:12:59Marriage is a cycle.
00:13:01Two people meet, are attracted to each other.
00:13:04They find mutual likes and interests.
00:13:07Then comes courtship, then love, and then marriage.
00:13:11Well, that seems a natural course of events.
00:13:13It is, but the cycle continues.
00:13:16As a doctor, I see living examples of it every day.
00:13:20After marriage, there comes a period of the delights of newly married life.
00:13:25Well, from feverish intensity, there comes a warm contentedness.
00:13:30Well, that's how a marriage should be, isn't it?
00:13:32Of course.
00:13:34When this cycle continues, as it has with Ruth,
00:13:38there follows a period of complacency,
00:13:41then patient submission,
00:13:43and finally a total disinterest in marital relationship.
00:13:48And then they're right back where they started.
00:13:51If the doctor won't go to lunch...
00:13:53Thank you, Kay.
00:13:54You know, Doc, such a nurse can make a long illness a pleasure.
00:13:57I don't know what I'd do without her.
00:13:59I wish he meant that.
00:14:03You know, Doc, with Ruth away,
00:14:05you'll both have an opportunity to think things over.
00:14:08I hope you're right.
00:14:09I've certainly tried hard to be reasonable.
00:14:11Ah, there's nothing wrong with you two
00:14:13that this vacation away from each other won't cure.
00:14:16Thanks for the diagnosis, Doc.
00:14:18Think nothing of it.
00:14:20I'll send you my bill the first of the month.
00:14:23So long, Doc.
00:14:24Goodbye.
00:14:35Hiya, sis.
00:14:36Oh, hello, Marty. Come in.
00:14:38I just vacuumed the rug. Did you wipe your feet?
00:14:41Sure did.
00:14:42Oh, of course, if you'd like me to take my shoes off now.
00:14:44Don't be silly.
00:14:45How about taking time out for a cigarette?
00:14:47I want to talk to you, huh?
00:14:48You know I don't smoke.
00:14:51What's on your mind, Marty? Anything special?
00:14:55Ruth, um...
00:14:57Yes?
00:14:58Everything okay, I mean, with you and Doc?
00:15:02Well, yes. Of course.
00:15:05I'm glad.
00:15:07What should be wrong?
00:15:09Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.
00:15:11I just thought, well, after all, what's a brother for
00:15:14if he can't help a sis, even if it's just to listen?
00:15:18Everything is just fine.
00:15:20Good.
00:15:22What do you hear from the studios?
00:15:23When are you going to leave, you and Ginger?
00:15:25I don't know.
00:15:27I don't know if I should go.
00:15:29Not go? Why not?
00:15:30Well, no reason except...
00:15:33Well, just John.
00:15:35Yeah.
00:15:36Well, he'd have to eat out and...
00:15:38So what?
00:15:39There's nothing like a diet of restaurant food
00:15:41to make a husband appreciate his wife's cooking.
00:15:44For a bachelor, you have a lot of ideas about marriage.
00:15:46You don't have to be a weatherman
00:15:48to know which way the wind is blowing.
00:15:54Ruth.
00:15:57I get a feeling maybe you're holding something back.
00:16:00Oh, for heaven's sake, Marty, I told you.
00:16:02Everything's all right.
00:16:03Okay, okay, but just remember this.
00:16:06Too many women nowadays let down after their marriage.
00:16:09They think the home is a safe, that a child is a chain,
00:16:12that a home-cooked meal is much better
00:16:14than a pretty blonde, and that's where they're wrong.
00:16:17Now, if I were you, I'd make my mind up right now
00:16:19which is more important, Doc's face on the opposite pillar
00:16:23or the living room rug.
00:16:44This is the third glass of water, young lady.
00:16:47What are you trying to do, float to Hollywood
00:16:49on your own power tomorrow night?
00:16:51I can't help it, Daddy.
00:16:52I'm so excited thinking about it, I just can't sleep.
00:16:55I know, baby.
00:16:56Trip to Hollywood's a big event in anyone's life.
00:17:00Daddy, talk to me till I'm not sleepy.
00:17:02Well, that's a compliment.
00:17:05Are you gonna miss me, Daddy?
00:17:07Like the dickens.
00:17:09And will you miss Mama, too?
00:17:10Oh, naturally I will.
00:17:12How much do you love Mama, more than me?
00:17:15Well, the answer isn't yes, and it isn't no.
00:17:20I'll get to sleep.
00:17:21You're late for Sunday school tomorrow.
00:17:22Daddy, tell me again how you met Mama.
00:17:25Ginger, you're stalling.
00:17:27Please, Daddy.
00:17:28Well, it was a blind date.
00:17:31Senior problem.
00:17:33Your Uncle Marty asked me if I would take his sister.
00:17:36She was a nice girl with a pretty name, Ruth.
00:17:39Because she was coming up to the college to see him
00:17:41and he had a date with a blonde.
00:17:43And you didn't want to take Mama because you said
00:17:45twin sisters were always fat with buck teeth.
00:17:49See, you know it better than I do.
00:17:51But Mama wasn't fat.
00:17:53No.
00:17:54No, she was beautiful.
00:17:57What was she wearing?
00:17:59Fluffy pink dress.
00:18:01Last time you said it was blue.
00:18:03And she was so lovely, I never paid much attention to the dress.
00:18:07And you kissed her and proposed to her that very night.
00:18:15Good night, sweetie.
00:18:31I thought this would be nice for Ginger to wear
00:18:33when we go to the studio to make the screen test.
00:18:35Sure, they'll love her in that one.
00:18:37What a job, ironing all those ruffles.
00:18:39But it was worth it.
00:18:41Have you much more to do, dear?
00:18:43No, thank heavens.
00:18:44Good.
00:18:46Did you pick up the plane tickets?
00:18:47Yeah.
00:18:49You know something?
00:18:50I kind of wish I were going too.
00:18:52Is that a lie?
00:19:06What are you doing?
00:19:08Shaving, my love.
00:19:09At this hour?
00:19:35Thought we'd never get together
00:19:44You finished packing yet?
00:19:46I'm going to do the rest in the morning.
00:20:06Do you have to do that now?
00:20:08If I didn't, my hair would be a mess tomorrow.
00:20:11Could have gone to a beauty shop today.
00:20:13With the refrigerator to be defrosted?
00:20:15All Ginger's dresses to iron?
00:20:17There just wasn't time.
00:20:20Why didn't you have Miss Bogan come in and help you
00:20:22instead of tiring yourself out?
00:20:24Because I'm sick and tired of doing her work all over again
00:20:26after she leaves.
00:20:27Anyway, she charges me too much.
00:20:30I'm sure she'll be fine.
00:20:31Doing her work all over again after she leaves.
00:20:33Anyway, she charges me too much.
00:20:36You just can't get good help anymore.
00:20:37If you want things done right, you have to do them yourself.
00:20:48Exhausted.
00:21:01I'm sorry.
00:21:02I'm sorry.
00:21:03I'm sorry.
00:21:04I'm sorry.

00:30:11Am I glad to get that wiggle you know I actually felt like a woman of sixty seven
00:30:18that's psychological and it works both ways you know proper makeup can make older
00:30:23Ask his wife.
00:30:24Hello, darling.
00:30:25This is my wife.
00:30:26Betty, this is Mrs. Walden and her daughter Ginger.
00:30:28How do you do?
00:30:30Ginger just made a test with me.
00:30:32I know, I was on the set.
00:30:33You both were wonderful.
00:30:36But I don't mind telling you our son Bobby was burned up
00:30:38because he couldn't get a part in this picture.
00:30:41Joe Carroll, I just couldn't believe it was you.
00:30:44Darling, you did a wonderful job.
00:30:46Thank you, dear.
00:30:47My wife is my most severe critic.
00:30:50OK, old lady, let's get this age off.
00:30:52What's it like, Mrs. Westmore, to have a husband
00:30:54who's so glamour conscious?
00:30:56You mean, do I have to work hard to compete with a screen
00:30:59star's earn works with every day?
00:31:01Well, yes, I suppose I do.
00:31:03Well, Mrs. Waldron, all wives are the same.
00:31:06I think we all try to be the best looking woman
00:31:08in our husband's life, don't we?
00:31:10Yes, of course.
00:31:11Mrs. Waldron, how would you and Ginger
00:31:13like to have dinner at our house tomorrow night?
00:31:16Thank you very much, but.
00:31:17Oh, that's a wonderful idea.
00:31:19Ginger, how do you get along with boys?
00:31:21Well, I do all right.
00:31:22Then it's a double date.
00:31:25Now get right to sleep, darling.
00:32:21My, that was a delicious dinner.
00:32:23Thank you, Mrs. McFadden.
00:32:25Judy, would you help me, please, dear?
00:32:26Oh, I'll help, too.
00:32:30I hope she doesn't break a dish or anything.
00:32:33I don't believe she will.
00:32:35Mrs. Waldron, your daughter's posture is certainly correct.
00:32:38What a lovely carry.
00:32:40That's very gratifying.
00:32:42Coming from Mrs. McFadden, that's a real compliment.
00:32:44You're very kind.
00:32:45I mean it.
00:32:46The name McFadden has become as synonymous
00:32:48with physical culture as, uh.
00:32:50As Westmore is, with beauty and glamour.
00:32:56Oh, Judy will get those, honey.
00:32:57Bobby, suppose you take Ginger to the playroom.
00:33:00I got to work on my super cheat.
00:33:01Girls don't understand what trains.
00:33:03Bobby, this is a woman's world.
00:33:06They understand everything.
00:33:08Oh, all right.
00:33:09Do you want to watch me fix my trains?
00:33:10I'd love to.
00:33:12Seriously, Johnny Lee, I've looked
00:33:14forward to this dinner date.
00:33:15I'd like to hear firsthand the McFadden theories.
00:33:18Well, talking about it won't streamline anyone.
00:33:21You know, you could use some physical culture yourself.
00:33:23You tell him, Johnny Lee.
00:33:25He won't listen to me.
00:33:27Tonight, let's concentrate on the female of the species.
00:33:29Well, if you want my observation on women
00:33:32as related to beauty, well, here it is.
00:33:35We'll use Judy for an example.
00:33:36You're about 15, aren't you, honey?
00:33:38That's right.
00:33:39I'll be 60 next October.
00:33:41I believe that if Judy would start right
00:33:43now, storing youth for the future,
00:33:45she could guarantee herself long-lasting youth.
00:33:48Unfortunately, most women wait until the traces of age
00:33:51have caught up with them.
00:33:52That's true.
00:33:53However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't
00:33:55hope for the woman past 40.
00:33:57All women, regardless of their present age,
00:34:00can actually have health, beauty, and long-lasting youth.
00:34:05The first and the most important step is this.
00:34:08Every woman must dedicate a small part of her day
00:34:10to herself, 30 minutes at least, more if possible,
00:34:14but a set time to practice her exercises
00:34:17for health, beauty, and peace of mind.
00:34:20These are her moments to get her thinking straight,
00:34:23to get her emotions under control,
00:34:25and try to rid her mind of jealousies, fears, hates,
00:34:28suspicions, grievances of all kinds, imaginary or real,
00:34:33that are robbing her of that inner stability that
00:34:36is absolutely necessary for a woman
00:34:38to attain health, beauty, and long-lasting youth.
00:34:42I guess all of us could use a little mental cleansing
00:34:44every day.
00:34:45I've seen many a motion picture star
00:34:47break up during a scene because of some inner disturbance
00:34:50she couldn't leave in her dressing room.
00:34:52Now, along with health, both mental and physical,
00:34:55a woman must have love.
00:34:57She must love and be loved in return.
00:35:00If she hasn't someone to love, for goodness sakes,
00:35:03get work of some kind, but some outlet for her emotions.
00:35:07What is the McFadden thinking on diet?
00:35:09A woman must take four days out of the seven.
00:35:12And in those four days, she must abstain totally
00:35:15from all of the things that she knows are wrong for her,
00:35:18controlling her appetite and eating in normal proportions.
00:35:22What about the other three?
00:35:23Well, I don't advise going overboard,
00:35:25but in the remaining three days, the average woman
00:35:28can indulge in occasional sweets, cocktails,
00:35:31or cigarettes.
00:35:32But the important thing is not to cheat on your four
00:35:35good behavior days.
00:35:36Make a note of that, Betty.
00:35:38Oh, look who's talking.
00:35:39What about the exercises, Mrs. McFadden?
00:35:42Oh, yes, that's what we want to hear about.
00:35:45I'll show you, then there'll be no misunderstanding.
00:35:50A woman must remember that this part of her body,
00:35:52from here to here, must be kept firm and alive.
00:35:56This simple exercise will accomplish this.
00:35:59Just sit down on the floor and put your legs out straight.
00:36:02And remember, you must do this exercise slowly.
00:36:05Put your hands back to the floor and come up slow and pull.
00:36:10It's that pull that firms the bust line
00:36:12and the tummy and the hip.
00:36:14Go back to the floor, slow, and pull, pull, pull.
00:36:19Then you pull up straight and you pull your feet together
00:36:22and go back over your head.
00:36:24See?
00:36:26Now, isn't that simple?
00:36:27Golly, some of the kids at school can't even do that.
00:36:30No wonder you've retained your youth like you have.
00:36:33And remember, here's another important exercise.
00:36:36To keep the bust firm and youthful,
00:36:38put your hands behind your back and pull down.
00:36:41Stretch, ooh, and release.
00:36:44Pull up, down, pull, stretch, and release.
00:36:47That firms the tummy muscles and the bust and the hip line.
00:36:50Now, here's our second exercise.
00:36:52Let's reach for a star.
00:36:54Up high and on your toes, stretch.
00:36:56Up high and down, and stretch.
00:36:59Up high and down.
00:37:01I thought a woman got off exercise with housework.
00:37:03Well, perhaps in grandmother's day,
00:37:05but not in the age of the vacuum cleaners.
00:37:08Johnny Lee, you're going to kill me for this,
00:37:10but how old are you?
00:37:12I have a daughter, 26, a son, 25, and I'm a grandmother.
00:37:16Johnny Lee, you're a remarkable woman.
00:37:18Thank you, Ern.
00:37:20But if you think I'm remarkable,
00:37:22you should spend a week in following Bernard McFadden.
00:37:26Tell us about him, won't you?
00:37:28Is it true that he has this tremendous virility and health
00:37:31now that he's past 80?
00:37:33Yes, that's true.
00:37:34He's a living example of what sheer determination
00:37:37can accomplish.
00:37:38I'd sure like to have a recording of all this.
00:37:40I wish women would learn how correct posture
00:37:43and confident carriage can improve
00:37:44the appearance of their clothes.
00:37:46Incidentally, I brought that reel of film with me
00:37:48that you've wanted to see.
00:37:50Good.
00:37:50Let's run it in the den.
00:37:55Here it is, Ern.
00:37:57Clear the screen for me, will you please, Norma?
00:38:11Amos Jennings and George Arliss, what great stars they were.
00:38:20Great people, too.
00:38:22The pictures were the way of all flesh and disraeli.
00:38:25Oh, isn't this Frederick March?
00:38:27As a handsome Dr. Jekyll, and also as Mr. Hyde.
00:38:30My goodness, what a contrast.
00:38:33Well, these are Academy Award winners
00:38:34whom Ern has made up at one time or another.
00:38:37Isn't she lovely?
00:38:38She's one of my favorites.
00:38:40You know something, Mrs. Waldron?
00:38:42You have exactly her shape, too.
00:38:44I have?
00:38:45Hello?
00:38:49Oh, great, Eddie.
00:38:51Thanks a lot.
00:38:52Goodbye.
00:38:55Bobby, bring Ginger in here.
00:38:57Have I got news for you.
00:38:59What?
00:39:00They like Joe Carroll's tennis.
00:39:01What?
00:39:02They like Joe Carroll's tennis.
00:39:03What?
00:39:04They like Joe Carroll's tennis.
00:39:05They like Joe Carroll's test very much.
00:39:07Oh, that's wonderful.
00:39:08She'll be so thrilled.
00:39:10Hey, Dad, Ginger fixed my train.
00:39:12What do you know about that?
00:39:13I know something more important than that.
00:39:15Ginger, you passed your screen test with flying colors.
00:39:18And the boss is crazy about you.
00:39:20Mama.
00:39:21Honey, I'm so proud of you.
00:39:24She fixed it with a bobby pin.
00:39:25Look at that.
00:39:26I know.
00:39:27Mrs. Waldron, they want to talk to you
00:39:28at the studio in the morning about a long-term contract.
00:39:31We'll be there, all right, won't we, Ginger?
00:39:33You bet.
00:39:34Let's call Betty and tell her what happened.
00:39:36Oh, yes, we must.
00:39:37May I?
00:39:38I'll reverse the charges.
00:39:39Wouldn't you rather use the other phone?
00:39:40You'll have more privacy there.
00:39:41Oh.
00:39:42Oh, what time is it?
00:39:4410 o'clock.
00:39:45Well, and it's midnight back home,
00:39:46but I don't think you'll mind.
00:39:47I don't think so.
00:39:49Thank you, Mrs. Westmore.
00:39:50In fact, thank you so much for everything.
00:39:54Oh, forget it.
00:39:55And please call me Betty, Mrs. Westmore's earned mother.
00:39:58OK, Betty, dial 110 for long distance.
00:40:05Tell Daddy to be sure to call Uncle Marty.
00:40:07Yes, dear.
00:40:09Long distance, I want Lakehart, Indiana, 2514.
00:40:14And would you reverse the charges, please?
00:40:16This is Mrs. Waldron calling.
00:40:18That's right.
00:40:19Won't Daddy be proud of me?
00:40:21He'll be just as proud as a peacock.
00:40:24No answer?
00:40:25Aw.
00:40:26Well, then would you please try the office at 6274?
00:40:30Maybe Mrs. Sutton is having her baby now.
00:40:32Maybe.
00:40:34No answer?
00:40:36Well, then would you get me Mr. Marty Wilson at 2575?
00:40:40I bet Uncle Marty would want to come right out here.
00:40:45Hello, Marty?
00:40:46Oh, wonderful, Marty.
00:40:48Ginger's screen test was splendid.
00:40:50They want to sign her to a contract in the morning.
00:40:52Are you happy, Uncle Marty?
00:40:54Happy?
00:40:55Eh, you have no idea how proud this makes all of us.
00:40:57Oh, Doc took a patient up to Rochester to the clinic.
00:41:00He can get him at the Blackburn Hotel.
00:41:02Oh, thank you, Marty.
00:41:04Good night.
00:41:09Operator, would you get me Dr. John Waldron's room
00:41:12at the Blackburn Hotel, Rochester, Minnesota?
00:41:15What else did Uncle Marty say?
00:41:17He thought it was wonderful.
00:41:22Oh, Doctor.
00:41:23He thought it was wonderful.
00:41:29Hello?
00:41:30Hello?
00:41:31Oh, I'm sorry.
00:41:31They must have run the wrong room.
00:41:34I wanted Dr. John Waldron.
00:41:36This is Dr. John Waldron's room.
00:41:38Who's calling him, please?
00:41:41Who is this?
00:41:45Miss Joyce?
00:41:47You're in Rochester, too?
00:41:50Oh, hello, Mrs. Waldron.
00:41:52How's Hollywood?
00:41:53How is the...
00:41:58Doctor's at the clinic.
00:41:59I expect him back soon.
00:42:01Oh, you do?
00:42:06No, thank you.
00:42:07That won't be necessary.
00:42:11Is Daddy going back home, Mama?
00:42:13No, Ginger.
00:42:15But we're going home.
00:42:17Tonight.
00:42:23Don't do it.
00:42:24Mommy.
00:42:25Don't do it.
00:42:26Mama.
00:42:30Who are you?
00:42:31I'm doctor George.
00:42:33I don't want to be here.
00:42:35I don't want to be here.
00:42:36I want to go home.
00:42:37And then you'll die.
00:42:38I don't want to be here.
00:42:46I want to go home.
00:42:47I want to go home.
00:42:49Take me home.
00:42:50Take me home.
00:42:52Take me home.
00:42:53Mama, daddy's home!
00:43:14Mama! Daddy's home!
00:43:25Daddy! Aren't you surprised?
00:43:27Of course. I thought you were in Hollywood.
00:43:30They like me, Daddy. I'm going to be in the movie.
00:43:32Well, that's wonderful. Hello, darling.
00:43:35We were supposed to go to the studio this morning, but Mama said we must come home.
00:43:39What? They brought you home? Well, why?
00:43:41Did you change your mind about Ginger's career?
00:43:43No, of course not. You run along to bed, Ginger dear, and get to sleep.
00:43:47It's very late. You can tell Daddy all about Hollywood at breakfast.
00:43:50All right. Night, Daddy.
00:43:52Good night, honey.
00:43:54What happened, Ruth?
00:43:55Don't tell me you got lonesome for your old man.
00:43:58If I was, it wasn't reciprocated.
00:44:01I don't understand.
00:44:03You should. I called you at the Blackburn Hotel.
00:44:08Or didn't Miss Joyce tell you?
00:44:10Your good friend Cora James probably owes her life to Kay.
00:44:15Oh, so it's Kay now.
00:44:18What's that supposed to mean?
00:44:19The same thing it means when I call your hotel at midnight and she answers the telephone.
00:44:25What was she doing in your room?
00:44:26Now look, darling, I asked her to wait there because I expected several calls.
00:44:30Now do you understand?
00:44:31No. I certainly do not.
00:44:34Why was it necessary to take Kay with you at all?
00:44:37Because I needed my nurse to help with the patient in this case.
00:44:40And that was her sole capacity.
00:44:42Now are you satisfied?
00:44:48Oh, I'm not.
00:44:49I told you I had to take Cora James to the Mayo's, but it didn't even register.
00:44:53You went to school with Cora.
00:44:55Her husband was Marty's best friend,
00:44:57but you're so wrapped up in your own little world
00:44:59that you didn't stop long enough to even ask about Cora's condition.
00:45:03That's just like you.
00:45:04How dare you speak to me in that tone?
00:45:06Because you've got it coming to you.
00:45:08I've put up with your selfishness long enough.
00:45:10If there's one thing you can't accuse me of, it's of being selfish.
00:45:14What else do you call a wife who thinks her relationship with her husband ends when the dinner dishes are done?
00:45:19Or on rare occasions bestows her affections like it's a special compensation?
00:45:23I won't listen to any more of this.
00:45:25You will listen, or you'll be sorry for the rest of your life.
00:45:29Tried to be a good mother?
00:45:31And to fulfill my duties as a wife?
00:45:34You've hit the nail on the head, Ruth.
00:45:36You've been a good mother,
00:45:38but you've made a duty out of what should be an enjoyable relationship between husbands and wives.
00:45:42You never acted this way before.
00:45:45But now that your Miss Joyce has come into the picture...
00:45:47Oh, leave her out of it.
00:45:49There's always a Miss Joyce if a man wants one.
00:45:51And while we're on that subject,
00:45:53there's nothing in our relationship but doctor and nurse.
00:45:55However, I'm warning you, if you...
00:45:57Oh, so you just want a good excuse to salve your conscience.
00:46:03This is it, Ruth.
00:46:05I've had enough.
00:46:06What do you mean?
00:46:08I want a divorce.
00:46:10I think we'll both be happier.
00:46:13For Ginger's sake, I'll let you divorce me.
00:46:15I don't know what the grounds will be, but the lawyers know how to figure that out.
00:46:20Shouldn't we...
00:46:21Shouldn't we think this over?
00:46:23I have thought it over for months.
00:46:26But tonight, this miserable homecoming,
00:46:28the unfair accusations, it's too much.
00:46:32You can have the house, of course.
00:46:34That will make you happy.
00:46:35Have you anything else to say?
00:46:37Yes.
00:46:38Even though you didn't ask,
00:46:40Cora James has cancer.
00:46:42So you see, all wives don't get the same fighting chance.
00:46:46I'll be out of here.
00:46:49I'll be at the hotel.
00:47:11Well, look who's here.
00:47:14Now tell me all about Hollywood.
00:47:16I called your mother this morning.
00:47:17She said you were a great big hit.
00:47:19Is that all she told you?
00:47:21Sure.
00:47:22Hey, don't tell me you're engaged to Gregory Peck.
00:47:25No, it's...
00:47:27Uncle Marty, I want a lawyer.
00:47:29You want a what?
00:47:30I want a divorce.
00:47:32A divorce?
00:47:33Oh, come now, Ginger.
00:47:35How Hollywood can you get?
00:47:37It's not Hollywood.
00:47:38It's here.
00:47:39My mom and daddy are getting a lawyer
00:47:41and getting a divorce.
00:47:43So I want one too.
00:47:45Ginger, I'm sure you misunderstood this thing.
00:47:48You mustn't talk about it.
00:47:50You know what a divorce is?
00:47:52Yes.
00:47:53It means the people don't want to live together anymore.
00:47:56My daddy told my mama he wants a divorce.
00:47:59If they don't want to live together,
00:48:01I don't want to live with them.
00:48:03Ginger, honey,
00:48:05I don't think your daddy really wants a divorce
00:48:07or your mother either.
00:48:09But if you could have heard the way they were talking
00:48:11so loud at each other last night...
00:48:13That's because they were angry.
00:48:15Remember the time you had a fight with your best friend Carol?
00:48:18How mean you talked to her.
00:48:20How you called her a red-headed gollywop.
00:48:22Well, she called me a stinker.
00:48:24But you both felt awful bad.
00:48:26And then you cried and you made up with her.
00:48:28And you never had a fight again.
00:48:30And deep down inside, you really liked her, didn't you?
00:48:33Uh-huh.
00:48:34Well, that's how it'll be with your mother and daddy.
00:48:36You'll see.
00:48:37But Uncle Marty, you don't understand.
00:48:40Daddy didn't even stay at home to sleep.
00:48:46Well, Ginger, just what were they fussing about?
00:48:49I heard Mama say something about Miss Joyce.
00:48:52And that made Daddy awful mad.
00:48:55Oh, I see.
00:48:57Uncle Marty, I thought I wanted to be in the movies
00:49:00more than anything else in the world.
00:49:02But now I don't even care.
00:49:04All I want is for my daddy to come back home
00:49:07and for everything to be like it used to be.
00:49:10There, there.
00:49:11Now, come on.
00:49:12It'll be all right.
00:49:13You'll wait and see.
00:49:15And you'll go back to Hollywood, too.
00:49:17Come on.
00:49:18Now, look at that.
00:49:20Would you stop crying all over my hand-painted tie?
00:49:23We could only make them love each other again.
00:49:26You always fix everything up, Uncle Marty.
00:49:28Won't you please fix this?
00:49:31Well.
00:49:35Honey, uh, this is something I don't think
00:49:38that even Uncle Marty can interfere with.
00:49:41But there is someone up there.
00:49:43We'll watch over them and see that it's all right.
00:49:46You mean if I pray real hard, it might help?
00:49:49Of course.
00:49:50You prayed about Hollywood, didn't you?
00:49:52I sure did, and I won.
00:49:53See?
00:49:54Then you just pray this through, too.
00:49:56You bet I will.
00:49:57I'll go right home now.
00:49:58Good girl.
00:50:01Oh, Ginger.
00:50:02Yes?
00:50:03I'll throw in a few prayers for good measure, too.
00:50:26Dear God.
00:50:28Dear God, I know I'm always asking for something.
00:50:32But honest, this is just about the most I ever prayed for.
00:50:37Please, God, help me make my daddy love my mama again.
00:50:43Oh, that's a wonderful idea.
00:50:50Amen.
00:50:58Hello, Mrs. Waldron.
00:51:00The doctor's out on his calls.
00:51:02I know.
00:51:03That's why I came.
00:51:05I wanted to talk to you.
00:51:07Alone.
00:51:09Yes, of course.
00:51:10Won't you sit down?
00:51:11This isn't going to be pleasant, so I'll
00:51:13come right to the point.
00:51:15Miss Joyce, you've caused trouble
00:51:17between my husband and me.
00:51:19But you're wrong.
00:51:20This rift between you and your husband
00:51:22is just the beginning.
00:51:25But you're wrong.
00:51:26This rift between you and Dr. Waldron
00:51:27has nothing to do with me.
00:51:29Oh, you know there's trouble.
00:51:31He's taking you into his confidence,
00:51:33and yet you say it has nothing to do with you.
00:51:35Mrs. Waldron, I'll come right to the point also.
00:51:38And I won't pull any punches.
00:51:40In the year and a half I've worked in this office,
00:51:42I've been nothing more to your husband
00:51:44than a well-trained nurse.
00:51:46And now you come here accusing me.
00:51:48You make me feel like a character in a play.
00:51:51The other woman.
00:51:53You know, the type that's always telling
00:51:55the other woman's side of it.
00:51:58The miserable lonely nights.
00:52:00The holidays spent alone.
00:52:02The few bright moments snatched at like crumbs.
00:52:06And all because she happened to fall in love
00:52:08with a man whose wife didn't have enough sense
00:52:10to hold him in the first place.
00:52:12That's why I've tried hard not to be the other woman.
00:52:16And what about the wife?
00:52:18I'll tell you what.
00:52:20In spite of the ratio of divorces,
00:52:22the average husband goes along year after year being faithful.
00:52:25Call it loyalty duty or the children or what.
00:52:28But given half a chance,
00:52:30I don't believe the average husband wants to break up his own.
00:52:34For a woman who isn't married,
00:52:36you seem to know a lot about husbands.
00:52:38Mrs. Waldron, I'm a nurse.
00:52:40I know the human anatomy.
00:52:42And I know what makes the male animal tick.
00:52:48And there's nothing between you and my husband.
00:52:50You can believe that.
00:52:52But frankly, if he does go through with this divorce,
00:52:55I'll be the first one to put in my application.
00:52:58Just like that.
00:53:00Don't you realize what this means to me?
00:53:03Yes, I do.
00:53:05But this has nothing to do with me. It is my fault.
00:53:08Is it mine?
00:53:10After 10 years of marriage, my husband suddenly wants a divorce.
00:53:13Why?
00:53:16You don't really want me to answer that, do you?
00:53:27Please don't tell the doctor I was here.
00:53:46Are you sure you've packed everything I need?
00:53:48Yes, darling. Everything.
00:53:50And I ordered a cab, so stop worrying.
00:53:53Oh, here it is now.
00:53:56Yes?
00:53:57I have a special delivery addressed to Mr. Westmore,
00:53:59makeup artist, Hollywood. Could that be you?
00:54:01Well, it could be, except that I have four brothers and three nephews,
00:54:04and they're all makeup artists here in Hollywood.
00:54:06Who's it from?
00:54:08It's from Ginger.
00:54:09Ginger?
00:54:10Yes, look here. Lakehart, Indiana.
00:54:12It's for me, all right.
00:54:13My congratulations to the Postal Department.
00:54:15The mail does get through, doesn't it?
00:54:17You know our motto.
00:54:18Neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night.
00:54:21Nor smog.
00:54:22Thank you. Good night.
00:54:24Good night.
00:54:32Dear Mr. Westmore,
00:54:34please come to Lakehart
00:54:36and make my mama real beautiful
00:54:39so Daddy will come back home.
00:54:41Amen.
00:54:42Your friend, Ginger.
00:54:44Ern, what are you going to do?
00:54:46Lakehart's just south of Chicago.
00:54:48We can't let that child down.
00:54:52Give me Western Union.
00:54:54Western Union, I want to send a night letter to Miss Ginger Waldron,
00:54:58Lakehart, Indiana.
00:55:00And mark it personal, please.
00:55:11Tell her...
00:55:12Shh.
00:55:13Gram for Miss Ginger Waldron.
00:55:14That's me.
00:55:15Sign here.
00:55:16Hey, why are we whispering?
00:55:18Who's sick?
00:55:19Nobody.
00:55:20Oh, that's too bad.
00:55:21Huh?
00:55:33Keep your chin up.
00:55:35Arriving Lakehart tomorrow morning.
00:55:37Love, Ern Westmore.
00:55:41Dear God, leave me.
00:55:43That's what I call service.
00:55:45Amen.
00:56:04Hello, Ginger.
00:56:05Shh.
00:56:07Thanks for coming, Mr. Westmore.
00:56:08Thanks a lot.
00:56:09Don't tell Mama about my letter.
00:56:11Oh, I get it.
00:56:12Come on in.
00:56:13All right.
00:56:19Where is your mother, dear?
00:56:20She's in the kitchen.
00:56:21You stay right here, and I'll go get her.
00:56:23Well, for goodness sake, the Westmore.
00:56:25How are you?
00:56:26I'm glad to see you.
00:56:27What brought you to Lakehart?
00:56:28Ern speaks at a convention in Chicago Monday,
00:56:30so we thought we'd just drop by and say hello.
00:56:32How wonderful.
00:56:33Have you had lunch?
00:56:34No, we had nothing but coffee on the plane, and I'm starved.
00:56:37Well, then I'll fix you something.
00:56:39Oh, Ginger dear, look at the time.
00:56:41You'd better run along, or you'll be late again.
00:56:43Do I have to go to dancing school today?
00:56:45You've got to keep in training, young lady,
00:56:47if you're going to be in the movies.
00:56:48All right, but I'll be back by 1.30.
00:56:50We'll be here.
00:56:51I'll help you get lunchroom.
00:56:53You certainly have an adorable home.
00:57:08Ruth, you don't want to divorce your husband, do you?
00:57:12Of course not.
00:57:14But what can I do about it?
00:57:15Well, what any intelligent wife would do, put up a fight.
00:57:19Betty and I'll help.
00:57:20I'm afraid it's too late for that.
00:57:22It's never too late.
00:57:24Well, I'd do anything in the world.
00:57:27Oh, excuse me.
00:57:30Hello?
00:57:32Hello?
00:57:35Hello?
00:57:37Oh, hello, Marty.
00:57:39Look, I'm in no mood to go to any country club dance,
00:57:41so please don't reserve a table for me.
00:57:44Thanks anyway.
00:57:46Bye.
00:57:48That crazy brother of mine.
00:57:51When is this dance?
00:57:52A week from today.
00:57:53Is it quite an affair?
00:57:54For some people.
00:57:56It's the biggest thing in Lakehart.
00:57:58I've got news for you.
00:57:59You're going.
00:58:00But first, you're going to Chicago with us for three days.
00:58:03What in the world?
00:58:05Don't bother me.
00:58:06I'm hatching a plot.
00:58:08But I can't.
00:58:09I've got ginger.
00:58:10Phone Uncle Marty or the mayor.
00:58:12Hire a babysitter.
00:58:14Please, what is this all about?
00:58:16Don't ask me.
00:58:17But when Ern sets his mind to hatching a plot,
00:58:19anything can happen.
00:58:22Thank you, Miss Flatterswood.
00:58:25Now we come to the event, ladies and gentlemen,
00:58:27that we've all been waiting for
00:58:28since it was announced at last year's convention
00:58:30♪
00:58:42Thank you, Miss Flatters-Whitmore.
00:58:47Now we come to the event, ladies and gentlemen, that we've all been waiting for
00:58:50since it was announced at last year's convention
00:58:53that we would have with us today, Mr. Ern Westmore of Hollywood.
00:58:56Possibly for the benefit of the younger beauticians and hairdressers
00:59:04who are attending this convention, I should mention that Mr. Westmore
00:59:07is one of the world's foremost authorities on beauty and glamour.
00:59:12His work these past 25 years as a director of make-up
00:59:15in Hollywood's motion picture studios has made him the dean of make-up artists.
00:59:21Many of the great stars and screen characters of Paramount,
00:59:24Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, Eagle Lion, Hallmark, and other films
00:59:29owe much of their fame to him.
00:59:31Ern has operated his own beauty salons in Paris, in London, New York, and Hollywood,
00:59:38and we like to think of him as one of us.
00:59:40I am honored and happy to present Mr. Ern Westmore.
00:59:45Thank you, Miss Flatters-Whitmore.
00:59:47I've received three more applause than I've received in my entire life.
00:59:55And I don't mind telling you it makes me feel awfully good.
00:59:58I know that all of you are here to see if I can prove what I have always contended,
01:00:03that there is no woman in the world who can't be made to look more beautiful.
01:00:08To understand the secrets of beauty, glamour, and personality,
01:00:12we must first review the simple fundamentals, such as the proper application of make-up,
01:00:18the proper distribution of color, the proper redistribution of hair,
01:00:23the arch of a brow and the shape of a mouth.
01:00:26And by applying these simple fundamentals, a woman gains complete command and control
01:00:31of herself, and in doing so, she destroys self-consciousness.
01:00:35And in the destruction of self-consciousness, she develops an entirely new personality.
01:00:41First and most essential, a woman must be honest with herself.
01:00:45She must know her face shape before she can create the illusion of proper proportion.
01:00:51In recent years, we've simplified this problem.
01:00:53We now think and talk in terms of five basic shaped faces, namely the oval, the round,
01:01:01the square, the oblong, and the triangle.
01:01:06Before we get started with the demonstrations, I would like you to know Miss Norma Gilchrist.
01:01:12Norma's one of our leading young authorities on fashion and charm.
01:01:17Norma's going to assist me.
01:01:23On last Saturday afternoon, we selected five women from a group provided by your committee.
01:01:29They represent the five basic types of faces, namely the oval, the round, the square,
01:01:39the oblong, and the triangle.
01:01:44We'll take the oval type first, since the oval is the ideal face.
01:01:49Mrs. Waldron, will you take your place behind the before frame, please?
01:01:54With the oval face, for the most pleasing and attractive appearance, a woman must retain
01:01:59the oval shape.
01:02:01With all other types, a woman's job is to create the illusion of ovalness.
01:02:09Before we get started with the oval face, I should like to explain to you exactly what
01:02:13we expect to do by using these charts as illustration.
01:02:19The oval is the shape of an egg, which stands on end.
01:02:22The forehead is slightly broader than the chin or the jawline.
01:02:28Even though this woman has a perfectly shaped face, its beauty can very easily be destroyed
01:02:33through the incorrect application of makeup and hairstyle.
01:02:37Note here in this incorrect makeup, the hair is dressed low.
01:02:41The brow is arched high.
01:02:43The rouge has been applied in a circle.
01:02:46And the lip has been made up high.
01:02:50This, in contrast, is the correct application of makeup and hairstyle.
01:02:56The hair has been distributed more evenly.
01:02:59The rouge has been blended back up to the temple, down under the eye,
01:03:06and slightly down the cheek line.
01:03:08The arch of the brow is more natural.
01:03:11The lip has been made up to follow the natural lip line.
01:03:17Here, pictorially, we can see the amount of distortion and correction
01:03:21through incorrect and correct application.
01:03:25A perfectly beautiful oval face destroyed through the incorrect application of makeup
01:03:29and hairstyling.
01:03:33Here is Miss Oval Face looking her best.
01:03:39Am I the oval face type?
01:03:44Now, Mrs. Waldron, using you as our model, we will depict for this fine audience
01:03:49the proper application of makeup and hairstyling.
01:03:54All of you will recall the articles in our magazine inviting questions.
01:03:58Now, many of you have written asking Mr. Westmore to explain many things.
01:04:03Now, Miss Gilchrist has sorted your letters and eliminated duplicates.
01:04:08These are questions asked by patrons in salons most every day.
01:04:12She will read your questions, and Mr. Westmore will answer them as he proceeds.
01:04:17The first question comes from a salon in Des Moines, Iowa.
01:04:21Quote, is there any particular brand of cosmetic which we should use?
01:04:27I'm glad that question has come up first because it's to be definitely understood
01:04:31that I personally do not recommend any particular brand of cosmetic.
01:04:35Any nationally advertised product is all right.
01:04:38Ladies, it's not the brand of cosmetic that creates glamour.
01:04:41It's the manner in which you apply it.
01:04:43Use any brand of cosmetic that you choose to use and enjoy.
01:04:49Here's a question from the Nancy Lee Beauty Shop in Seattle, Washington.
01:04:53How many types of foundation base are there?
01:04:56There are three.
01:04:57There is cake makeup.
01:05:01There is liquid makeup.
01:05:07And there is cream base.
01:05:12This is pan stick cream base which I'm using on the oval face.
01:05:15There were several questions regarding the use of cream rouge.
01:05:19What is the purpose of cream rouge?
01:05:21When using a cream or liquid foundation base, you must always use cream rouge.
01:05:27Then dry rouge may be applied after powdering.
01:05:30Mr. Westmore, many at the convention would like you to explain the proper location
01:05:35and distribution of rouge on the oval shaped face.
01:05:39No matter which kind of rouge is used, moist or dry,
01:05:42on the oval face it must be placed in the center of the cheek,
01:05:47blended up over the cheekbone toward the temple,
01:05:52and carried lightly up under the eyes.
01:05:56This salon operator would like to know what the basic colors in eye shadow should be.
01:06:01That's a good question.
01:06:03First of all, there should be no fads in makeup.
01:06:06In order to create the illusion of glamour,
01:06:09there are hard, fast rules which must be adhered to.
01:06:14As far as I'm concerned, we need only two shades of eye shadow, brown and blue-gray.
01:06:20And above everything else, it must be remembered that eye shadow at all times is to be applied sparingly.
01:06:26There were many questions sent in regarding the use of a pencil in outlining the eye.
01:06:31Quote, is it necessary to outline the eye for good makeup?
01:06:35It is just as important to outline an eye as it is to frame a picture.
01:06:39Remember, the eyes are the windows of your soul.
01:06:43However, you should never use an eyebrow pencil on your lower lid.
01:06:47And never use anything but a shade of brown.
01:06:50Black is taboo and only tends to age you and harden your expression.
01:06:55Now friends, let's stop for a moment and examine this makeup to see if everything is well blended.
01:07:02First, let's view the overall picture.
01:07:06A clean hairline.
01:07:10The base is blended well down under the chin.
01:07:16Around the sides of the neck.
01:07:22And the cheek rouge is properly blended.
01:07:28Now, let's clean up under the eyes.
01:07:32This is the region we'll powder first.
01:07:41Carefully blend your eye shadow.
01:07:54And powder the upper lids next.
01:07:58A thorough powdering, you know, will result in a long-lasting makeup.
01:08:04I hope you all noticed that neat trick of powdering above and below the eyes.
01:08:09Here's a question that might seem like a very simple one.
01:08:12But actually, Mr. Westmore always emphasizes its great importance.
01:08:17A beauty salon in New Orleans asks, what is the proper procedure in powdering?
01:08:22The first thing a woman should determine is whether she has any unusually prominent features.
01:08:28If so, they should be powdered last.
01:08:30As an illustration, if you have a large nose, a prominent chin, a bulging forehead, or very high cheekbones,
01:08:39powder these sections of the face last.
01:08:41We must always keep in mind, when your powder puff comes out of the box,
01:08:45it has an abundance of powder on it.
01:08:48Therefore, it should always be applied first to those sections of the face where you need to create a highlight.
01:08:54Be sure you pack your powder up.
01:08:57Don't rub it, don't scrub it, and don't try to remove your surplus powder with your puff.
01:09:03You should always use a powder brush.
01:09:05Do you recommend any certain type of powder puff?
01:09:08The only powder puff that I recommend is a clean one.
01:09:11And that goes for the face, too.
01:09:13Cleanse your face well before you start your makeup.
01:09:16Wash it with a good soap and warm water.
01:09:19Brush the powder off of the forehead first,
01:09:22then the nose,
01:09:24and over the eyes.
01:09:27Down under the chin,
01:09:30but with upward strokes.
01:09:33Never brush the cheeks down.
01:09:35Always brush them up.
01:09:39Now then, we will use a smudge brush to brush that hairline so that it is clean and defined.
01:09:45Next, you brush the surplus powder off of the face.
01:09:50Next, you brush the surplus powder from your brows.
01:09:54And here is the time to wash the surplus powder from around your eyes.
01:09:58Simply saturate a Q-tip with water.
01:10:01You'll find it lends freedom to the expression of your eyes.
01:10:04Many women fail to remove the surplus powder from around their eyes,
01:10:08and that's a bad mistake.
01:10:13It should be remembered that the eyebrow is a very important feature of the face.
01:10:17It expresses every human emotion.
01:10:20Happiness, sadness, joy,
01:10:23whatever the case may be.
01:10:25And a properly arched eyebrow is a valuable asset to every woman's beauty.
01:10:30Let's start the eyebrow directly above the inside corner of the eye.
01:10:37I want you to pay particular attention to the sharpness of your eyebrow pencil.
01:10:42It is very important for the creation of fine hair stroke lines.
01:10:46Create the proper arch above the brow.
01:10:50Then brush up to the arch.
01:10:54Then brush down.
01:10:57Keep in mind Mrs. Waldron's is the oval face.
01:11:01There's a salon in Pennsylvania that wishes to know the right shades of eyebrow pencils.
01:11:06That all depends.
01:11:09Every woman must select the eyebrow pencil color that most closely matches the shade of her hair.
01:11:14With one exception.
01:11:16Never use a black pencil.
01:11:19Many letters were received about the use of mascara.
01:11:22In mascara there are any number of tones of browns and blacks.
01:11:26Never use any artificial shades.
01:11:29I'll cover this subject more thoroughly as we go along.
01:11:33Next we apply dry rouge.
01:11:35And never apply dry rouge over a moist base until you have powdered it.
01:11:40I prefer applying dry rouge with a brush.
01:11:43It prevents spottiness and blends so much more beautifully.
01:11:52Always remember to powder after you have applied your dry rouge.
01:12:02More questions were received regarding lip problems than any other one.
01:12:07For the successful application of lip rouge,
01:12:10women must follow a few simple rules.
01:12:13Just the same as baking a cake.
01:12:16The first and most important rule is the proper selection of color.
01:12:20Never use lip rouge with blue tones.
01:12:23They're cold and hard.
01:12:26Never match your lip rouge to your nails.
01:12:29But you may if you choose match your nails to your lips.
01:12:33See that your lips are perfectly free of other makeup.
01:12:36Remember that oil and water do not mix.
01:12:39Your lips must be fairly dry to prevent your lip rouge from rolling.
01:12:49Be sure you blot your lips with cleansing tissue.
01:12:54This will make your lips stay on longer and look more natural.
01:13:02Now then, here is a properly made up oval face.
01:13:09I've arranged with one of your members and his staff, Mr. Comer Seifert,
01:13:13to do the hairstyling for me today according to the basic fundamentals
01:13:17as I've set forth for the five various typefaces.
01:13:21Comer, Mrs. Waldron.
01:13:23How do you do, Mrs. Waldron?
01:13:25Here's Ted Lane's x-ray.
01:13:28Will there be anything else?
01:13:30No. I'm sorry this kept you so late tonight.
01:13:33You're a great help to me, Kay.
01:13:37Would you like to have dinner with me this evening?
01:13:39We could drive up to Gary or over to Hammond somewhere.
01:13:42Oh, I'd like it very much. I'll only be a moment.
01:14:05Very pretty picture.
01:14:07Ted Lane's x-rays?
01:14:09Yes, Ted Lane's x-ray.
01:14:46Hadn't we better go to dinner, Doctor?
01:15:04During the remainder of the afternoon,
01:15:06Mr. Westmore continued to amaze the convention delegates.
01:15:10With his world-famous technique
01:15:12and his ability to properly apply makeup,
01:15:15Mr. Westmore brought out the hidden beauty
01:15:18of each of the models,
01:15:19just as he had with Mrs. Waldron.
01:15:22He emphasized to his audience the important fact
01:15:26that before any woman can look her best,
01:15:29she must first learn her face shape.
01:15:31She must determine if she is the oval,
01:15:34the round, the oblong, or the triangle.
01:15:40Then she can achieve glamour and beauty
01:15:43by merely following the simple, easy, fundamental rules
01:15:47of proper makeup and hairstyle
01:15:50for her particular face shape,
01:15:52which Mr. Westmore has set forth
01:15:54for all teenage girls, young women, wives, and grandmothers.
01:16:00The women serving as convention models
01:16:03are just everyday housewives.
01:16:05In a moment, you will be startled
01:16:07by the complete change in their appearance and personalities.
01:16:11In fact, as they appear in the before and after frames,
01:16:16I am sure you will find it difficult to tell yourself
01:16:20they are actually the same person.
01:16:23The tremendous improvements every girl and woman
01:16:26can make in her appearance
01:16:27is fully illustrated with dramatic and dynamic force
01:16:31by Mr. Westmore as he returns all five face shapes
01:16:36to the convention platform.
01:16:38And now our first subject, Miss Oval Face.
01:16:46Before and after.
01:17:02And over here, Miss Round Face.
01:17:06And now, Miss Square Face.
01:17:22Over here, we have Miss Oblong.
01:17:31And now, Miss Square Face.
01:17:37And last of all, Miss Triangle.
01:17:54And there I think I've proved
01:17:56that which I've always contended
01:17:58that there isn't a woman in the world
01:18:00that can't be made to look more beautiful.
01:18:03And there I think I've proved
01:18:05that which I've always contended
01:18:07that there isn't a woman in the world
01:18:09that can't be made to look more beautiful.
01:18:33And there I think I've proved
01:18:35that which I've always contended
01:18:37that there isn't a woman in the world
01:18:39that can't be made to look more beautiful.
01:18:42And there I think I've proved
01:18:44that which I've always contended
01:18:46that there isn't a woman in the world
01:18:48that can't be made to look more beautiful.
01:18:51And there I think I've proved
01:18:53that which I've always contended
01:18:55that there isn't a woman in the world
01:18:57that can't be made to look more beautiful.
01:19:00And there I think I've proved
01:19:02that which I've always contended
01:19:04that there isn't a woman in the world
01:19:06that can't be made to look more beautiful.
01:19:18Well, how do you feel about it now?
01:19:20Just like Scarlet O'Hara.
01:19:22I'm never gonna wash my face again.
01:19:25That's what you think.
