SHAVING WITH EGG
A dozen eggs were ordered for the new Tom Walls' film “Strange Boarders,” at the State Theatre tomorrow night. These were for shaving purposes. The star had to be photographed shaving in an art studio set near some very powerful lamps. He lathered with ordinary shaving soap, but he was too near the hot lamps and it wouldn’t stay on; in fact the more he lathered the less he got. Then one of the make-up men suggested that the white of an egg whisked well and applied like shaving soap might do the trick —it did, and Tom Walls, who was willing to try anything once, had to lather with egg twelve times for the sequence. His only complaints were that it felt a little slimy and one of the eggs was not up to scratch. It is in this photographer’s studio that Tom Walls, in his role of Secret Service man, discovers clues which lead to the unravelling of a big international plot and the unmasking of a notorious master criminal. Renee Saint-Cyr, famous ■ French film actress, appears as the star's wife.
