New York Appraiser of Human Charm Also Develops Models Who Pose for Magazine Covers; Supplies
Many to Photographers and Artists
n>« lovely girls and handsome young ■ a t r o n s who smtle out a t you from (h« m agaslne and newspaper adver- ttaefflents—have you ever wondered wbo they are and where they come frvtnT Have you wondered how they “got Into the ads," and now are In- »ltlii« yoti to enjoy the siiper satlsfac- tioa of the ir favorite coffee, their dream car, the ir choicest soap and o ther preferences? W hat determines the success of these and other photographic modnls of e i ther sex, among them old as well as youns people.
Probably no one is bettor qualilled to an- ̂swer thpsi; questions . < than .lohn Robert Powers. Hia agency and telephone booking service for models in .New Yorit i s a grea t clearinK lionse for the employment of aooren of faces and flg- nres fam iliar to millions o t Americans. About 120

of his top-notchers In jnodeling pose for some 50,000 pic tu res a year.And to him from all parte of the country Hows a steady stream of persotis seeljing pho- tographio fame.
In a tireless, search for new faces and fresh types, Mr. Powers in the course ot a year personally interviews thousands o t prospects and examines the photographs o t an estim ated ICO,-000 applicants. Only a relative few, however, make the exacting grade. Few have the combination of “m usts” —not only features tha t photograph well but charm, poise, intelligence, acting ability, and naturalness.
Guided by two decades of experience In this Held, Mr. Powers selects and promotes the models he th inks will "go places.” T he ir fsuccess depends to a g rea t extent, of course, upon the pho-
..tographer, a rt is t, editor, fashion designer or advertis ing expert for w’hom the models pose.
At the Powers concern itself, beauty Is “on order.” Here the barom eter of the popularity ot various models is the jingle of telephone bell’s, as repeated calls come in for the ir particular kind of a ttrac t iveness for use In an advertisement, magazine cover, style display, or the role of "queen" in some carnival or festival, possibly handreds of mites away.
o thers In frequent need of models. The other eight ins trum ents are for general cail.s to and from persons seeking information and appointments.
On the wall nearby hang calendar charts recording the appoiiitnionls ot 140 or more models on the active list, all of whom must bo within telephone reach on short notice. Models making the ir rounds a t photographers may also periodically call up the agency tor assignm ents or to learn what to wear tor a particular appointment.
Quite often a model is called for duty in a d is tant city, where promotion enterprises, fashion shows, or some colorful pageant glorifying anything from peanuts to pages of his tory are being planned.
Many men and women who maite good as (models find success la te r In motion pictures or on the stage. Mr. Powers estim ates tha t at least 150 such "g raduates” from his establishment a re now making headlines in Hollywood. Among these he cJleg Joan Bennett, f 'redrlc March, B arbara S tan wyck, H enry Fonda, A nita Louise, Joan Blondell, Paule tte Goddard, and Helen Twelvetrees,

There b No Spring’ Attracts Favorable Comment By Critics
“T here Is No Spring,” a book of verse in th e ly ric p a tte rn by Eve- ,lyn Hudson Rowley, of W ading River, has been received w ith almost unbelievable w arm th , for poetry. Released only last w eek by the House of Field, New Y ork publishing house, i t has already a ttrac ted favorable com m ent from responsible sources.
In the w ords of H oward Edm onton Dtiiley, whose criticism s of verse w riting r.re looked upon w ith genu ine respect, “Their Is No S pring” is a surprisingly delightful piece of ly ric w riting to em anate from the pen of an unknow n, and a fem ale u n know n a t that; Says Mr. Dailey, “Miss Rowley is one of the few m odern poets v/ho have learned the delicate a r t of actually saying someth ing in the lyric m anner. Each one of tlie poems in ‘There Is No S pring’, has definite plot, tells a definite story. A nd there is a certain strength of charac ter in them th a t is ra re indeed am ong the new w rit ers.”

EVELYN HUDSON ROWLEY
The them e poem, “There is No Spring,” gives clear indication of the philosophy th a t perm eates the collection, it is a philosophy th a t is tim ely in these w ar-troubled , unsettled days, when our only hope for salvation seems rooted in ourselves, faith in our country, faith in our ability to rise above a depressing situation into something better.
Miss Rowley is as tru ly a prod- duct of Suffollt County as are clams, potatoes, or cauliflower, aitliough she claims no relationship to any of the three. Boi-n a t W ading River, she lias alv/ays called it liome, even when she did not find it possible to live thei-e. A nd although the verses th a t go to m ake the w hole cover a wide variety of moods, through them all runs a th read of melody borrow ed from the restless w aters of Long Is land Sound and from th e ' earthy sweetness o£ a coming country Spring.
