This section of Century Baby is devoted to clippings about Colleen Moore and the other famous flapper actresses. I've confined the clippings to printed material published during the stars' careers with two exceptions: Colleen herself, because this site is about her, and Joan Crawford, whose career was a long one, so I've stopped notes on her at 1935. This section will grow as I buy magazines!

My dear Fay, - Alice White's new nose is a part of her comeback programme. It seems the old one showed a tiny depression near the nostril, or something of the sort. Well, it's a change in depression, anyway; and, though I did not notice much wrong with the first one, the new nose is very charming.

Thrift
Alice White remembers the days when she was breaking into pictures, and her clothes allowance was not so big. The most expensive item was always shoes, and to-day Alice saves and doctors her old shoes with all the care of a mother cat for her kittens. Alice sells her old clothes, and makes all her own hats. With all this, she manages to be one of the really chic dressers in the film colony.

My dear Fay, – Clara Bow is seriously thinking of becoming a proud mother. She may adopt two ten-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, children of an uncle of hers. She is so fond of them that she decided to take them to her Beverly Hills home. If the children get along with Clara and Rex as well as they are expected to, Clara will eventually adopt them legally.

Clara's Dog
By the way, do you remeber the St. Bernard that tussled with Clara in "Call Her Savage"? Well, he's the famous "Duke," the pup which Harold Lloyd gave her from one of his high-breed litters. And incidentally, the dog has been winning ribbons away from Lloyd's dogs ever since.
