• • "What the Stars Foretell" • •
• • From Our Hollywood Correspondent — — Mae West, who will shortly be seen in "The Belle of the 'Nineties," recently had her horoscope taken. What the stars had to say about her love affairs was, naturally, of particular interest. It appears that Miss West can look forward to arriving at marriage and at the climax of her professional career just about the same time.
• • Despite the phenomenal success that Mae West has been enjoying during the past two years, she will not attain the apex of her screen career for at least three years more, that is to say, she will not reach her highest point until 1938, and she'll be married then. So, at least, the stars foretell.
• • These prophecies and a host of other interesting predictions were furnished to Miss West by Stuart Holmes [1884 — 1971], who has been a motion-picture actor for 24 years and a professional astrologer for the past six.
• • Stuart Holmes, who plays a major role in Miss West's new starring picture, "Belle of the 'Nineties," which brings Miss West back to the screen as the love of the gay blades along the levees in the "Naughty 'Nineties," compiled Miss West's horoscope with the aid of his wife, Bianka Holmes.
• • "Leo, the sign of kings, represented by the sun, is your sign," explained Holmes. . . .
• • "Mae West Consults Astrologer" will be continued (at some later date).
