Are Net 'Perfect Types9
k WOMAN'S leeks arc sacred te her.
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

no p- ;Hi cellars and jabots.

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

about their famed leeks.

Stanlaws Made Mark
With "Pretty Girls"
Stanlaws, the artist, whose real
nnme Is Adamsmi, is a Princeton
graduate and became noted Reme
years age as nn illustrator.
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.
