X Therefore, the usual fury of n woman scorned pales before the out- tursts of a recognized beauty criticized. The fact that the critic is a recognized artist of distinction, the originator of a particular "girl" means nothing te the beauties of the film World. Thousands of fans have told them, day after day, that their par ticular style of beauty "is perfect." But Pcnrhyn Stanlaws declares solemnly that none of the recognized beauties of the silver screen is even approximately perfect pulchritudl pulchritudl reusly speaking. And he uses names and points out flaws with the .valor of mere man unafraid. Hence arises from the mere or Jess hallowed precincts of Holly wood te the studies of New Yerk, ret te forget a vivid contradiction from Philadelphia, a pretest from "beauty criticized." And if the artistic curly locks of Stanlaws arc net thoroughly singed, it is because seme movie beauty forget part of her vocabu lary. Stanlaws is a bold man. And he is a brave man. Wen His First Fame With "Stanlaws Girl" Ycar.i age, the "Stanlaws Girl" teas all the rage she enjoyed the vogue formerly given te the "Gibsen Girl." Girl after girl came from his pen and smiled from the pages of magazines. As nn illustrator he von his greatest fame. And his beauties were dressed in the styles of twenty years nge. Vo luminous skirts trailed along the ground with perhaps the tip of a sIke peeping out of the ruffles waists vere slim and hairnets un 1 m n Great pompadours stuck out e e- the forehead, while si low, gir'ish knot rested in the nape of the reek. The two cars steed out li'.e ban lies. Hips were in f tyle, no p- ;Hi cellars and jabots. .' nrl all his girls walked at a per- vs skin' their he-ids' many inches i.i advance of their feet, and the Millions of ruffles make one thinl: if the job the laundresses of thee days had, ironing them out. Then, after his fame as nn nrtist v,a. established, he went into the nie'ies and became a noted ditccter. He has had ample opportunity te see and stu ly virtually all of the rec ognized beauties of the silver screen. Tin.' ether day he laid aside his megaphone te take a rest and be gan te think about some of these, beauties. Nene of them, apparently, met his full artistic approbation. Just casually he picked out twenty nnd told what he really thought about their famed leeks.

His "girls'" were of the llnfTv ruffles type se popular before the modern "flapper" was even thought of. Later Stanlaws listened te the "cnll of the movies" and seen be came one of the noted directors of the country. Under his direction many of the beauties be se sctcrely criticized have made their bow te the movie public.

Pcnrhyn Stanlaws, who hns dared tell famous movie beauties just what their flaws nre "Really, this is a shriek," asserted the statuesque Pauline, who, however, did net deign te comment upon theje famous eyelids.
