NEW HOLLYWOOD FAD
Wrist watches of polished steel are Hollywood's latest fad. And there 's a reason. They are the only typo of watch which cannot be magnetised by the million caudle power sun arcs used on the motion picture sets. Maxine Jennings, now appearing in RKO Radio 's "The Toast of New York," wus one of the first members of tho fikn colony to display one of tho new watches, a present from her husband, Rudolph Ising, film cartoonist. If the ordinary watch comes undor the direct rays of one of the large sun arcs, it is instantly magnetised, whirls along at a highly increased speed and finally stops. Expensive repairs are required to restoro it to working order. The new steel watclies are designed in modernistie pattdrns dovoid of elehing or jewels.
