TO THE MARRIED WOMAN

MYRNA LOY’S ADVICE. Myrna Loy, who appears as Margit, the successful business woman too busy for love, in “Double Wedding," was born in Helena, Montana. She was educated in a private school at Los Angeles, and launched on a dancing career. Her ability as a sculptress attracted the attention of Rudolph Valentino, and she made her first screen appearance with him in “What Price Beauty?” Her most recent successes have been in “Libelled Lady,” “After the Thin Man,” and “Parnell.” Now that she is happily married and has been for a year “The Perfect Wife of the Screen” she may be classified as an authority on advice to wives. “The trouble with women,” she dares to expound, “is that they lose their perspective and do not have enough confidence in themselves. They begin to doubt their own powers of attraction as soon as they feel the sting of Cupid’s dart. They cannot escape competition, and that competition is. thrust at them by the woman with siren tendencies, commonly known as the vamp. Such competition is not fair, but if wives in love would banish their inferiority complexes vamps would find competition more difficult. “Luckily, women are beginning to realise that the battle is not over when the altar is reached. That is only the beginning. When women learn that they must put as much effort and expend as much energy on marriage to make it a success as they do on their jobs as business women —then Reno can be given back to the Indians.” Myrna Loy is married to Mr Arthur Hornblow, a cousin of Mrs W. H. Saunders, of Essex Street, Masterton.
