WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 21, Hollywood, Horae of Glamour, Now BOYS TO ENROL Rivals New York as Beauty Capital OR BHS GRID SQUAD MONDAY By LEVON E. HORTON (Central Press Writer) 20 new HOLLYWOOD, Aug Man Aphrodite has a agent in Hollywood. In a swank, modern salon oi sufficiently impressive proportions to intr.gue a blase film colony accustomed to being impressed, he has himself up behind a big desk with a full quota of yes-men and secretaries responding to the tilt of an eyebrow and the wag of a finger Beauty is his business and he's out- Hollywooding Hollywood with I capers The man Is Embree Drake, a fugitive from New Roaring rties, and he's opened a streamlined agency for models on the film Sunset boulevard. The new pooh-bah of pulchritude, caliph of comeliness, and lama of loveliness, may outdo his old stamping ground, New York.

too. He's putting on a show which threatens to make his Manhattan competitor, John Powers, look like the proprietor of a one-arm joint and beanery vying for honors with the With an increasing number of automobile manufacturers and other advertisers in national magazines turning to Southern California to find a setting for their illustrations, attracted by the scenic gold m.ne and the climate whicn California offers the year around. Drake sees Hollywood as the coming capital of advertising illustration and fashion. 11 There is but one drawback, he says a dearth of genuinely beautiful models. Hollywood is knee-deep in beauty but every girl with looks has her eyes focused on motion pictures exclusively.

Drake hopes to change all that, and from the looks of things he's made a first-rate start. Already there is a parade of gorgeous and glamorous creatures streaming through the doors oi new beauty bazaar from morning until night, aroused by the fuss stirred up. And, self-designated sultan of symmetry though "he may be, Drake interviews all of them the long-limbed beauties with the petite debutantes, the rollicking juveniles with a smattering of sleek and exotic oomph gals Already, too, eyes are beginning to take on a glassy look his voice is a little hoarse, and his control appears a bit frayed around the edges. No wonder, either, for his job is not all beer and skittles. It may sound like the job of a lifetime, gazing upon bits of feminine loveliness all day long, but for every bona fide, 14-carat glamour girl who sits before him for an interview, there are 25 winsome but misguided misses who appear unable to grasp the sad and ghastly story which their mirrors would tell them if they would but lend a receptive truthful pair of eyes.

And where their eyes fail them, it is Drake's job to fill the breach. "Did you ever telJ a woman she as beautiful as she thinks she he asks, ruefully. you ever tell a woman that and make her like it? what I do from morning until night.H Drake is jubilant over the success Robert Flemming, Boyertown High school's newly-elected football coach, will get the football season underway Monday nicht when 50 youths are expected to enrol. The first meeting will be held at 5 in the high school dressing room. Flemming: will he assisted by Janies R.

What is the perfect type? difficult to say, avers Drake. There are glamour girls and juveniles, wholesome American outdoor girls and debutantes.

The ideal girl is one who can approximate any one of these, with the aid of a little make-up and a little acting ability. For good models must be able to alone is not enough. Drake refuses to climb out on a limb in favor of any one coloring H6 admits that blondes, as a rule, are more photogenic than brunets, but claims there are many striking brunets to prove that the rule is a fallacy. Drake does cite the ideal measurements for a model, however. Drake Hktj them tall feet eight inches to be exact.

Mrs. Dawn has lectured extensively on make up. po-ture and charm, and she is putting a squad of girls through their paces daily. First off, the sweet young are taught to walk and, after they have learned this elementary sometimes they catch on to the right and wrong way of getting about from place to place as rapidly as they go on to other such rudimentary things as what to do with a pair I of hands in an emergency, how to I hang the feet off a chair, and the technique of smiling without exposing the tonsils or baring Tight pitching of Don Nagle and the hitting of Joe Stitzel enabled Boyertown Travelers softball ten to score a 10-6 victory over Bethlehem Rays under the lights last night on Travelers field.

LEGION RALLIES TO WIN, 10 TO 8 A home run by Dennis Geesey in the bottom half of the ninth inning with two men on featured a five-run rally by the American Legion softball ten as it defeated the strong Stowe Quoit club, 10-8, under the lights here last night on Legion field. The visitors wasted little time in denting the plate as they brought across five runs.

But in the home team's turn at bat, the score was promptly tied. After the first inning, it was a tie game up to the ninth. The Stowe apparently had the game on ice when it scored three times, but the Legionnaires were not to be denied They won the game with a five-run outburst. Geesey, who kept eight hits well scattered, led the hitting attack with three hits, Francis Boyer, of the losers, was high with three. Oddly enough, all the scoring for both teams was done in the first and final innings.
