GOOD LUCK CHARM

AN EDELWEISS FLOWER. You can talk to Drue Leyton from now on, but you cannot persuade her there is not something to this “good luck” business. The young actress who vzas taken from the Broadway stage by Fox Film a few months ago believes that much of the good fortune that has come her way is due to a lucky charge she acquired _ six years ago. It is an Edelweiss flower plucked by , a male friend when she was in the Swiss Alps. She carries the flower wherever she goes, changing it from purse to purse tn its small leather case.

Mary Astor recently had a severe car smash. The front of the car was badly damaged, but she escaped with only a severe jarring. .
