SAYS GRACE MOORE. Men are gradually coming to the European point of Adew that A,vomen are most attractive after they reach the age of thirty and, more often, thirty-five, according to Grace Moore, beautiful Columbia star. Miss Moore stated that Avomen who reach thirtyfive brings to men “the vibrant Interests of a developed mind, a finesse about life and an excitement of warmth and understanding.” Looking radiantly beautiful in her close-fitting costume for a sequence of her new ploture, "When You’re In Love,” the singing star became a Avorthy champion of the women who are forever young when she A\-as approached on the subject between scenes at Columbia studios.
