The Diary of Professional Movie Fan
Attention, Ladies! This Is About
Clothes!
BY GLADYS HALL,

Probably the one thing have
written very little about in my diary
is clothes. and even my worst enemy
will admit that this is a lovely trait
in woman! Not to say strange one.
However, I must take my cue from
the movie maids. Do you know. they
really give very little talk and not
so very much thought to clothes as
clothes. OF course. when they're
costuming for a picture. that's some
thing else again-that's "bizzness."
But to sit and gossip sweetly about
hats and hairpins-I haven't heard
'em. Yesterday saw Mary Hay
Barthelmess in the Algonquin Hotel
and she was wearing a white sport
hat and a gingham frock, while most
Of the anxious-to-please ladies of
leisure were rushing about and also
rushing the season in velvet hat and
furs and furry. I told you that at a
tea the other day Norma Talmadge
had her hair done up in kids and
Constance had a little black frock
on she declared was ten years old
today" 1t looked young for its age.
I'll say that for it.
However, one must be covered, ana
from various gossipy letters 1 get
from the stars I hear that one will
be covered with brown as much as
possible this fall and winter. Here
are some specific instances that may
interest you all.
Mary Thurman. who, by the way. is
Richard Barthelmess' leading woman
in his forthcoming picture, THE Bond
Boy" is wearing stunning coat Of
brown crepella (good word). 1t is
covered over with a unique design
done in tan soutache braid and it
has fiowy, loose sleeves. She says
that she can wear 1t morning, even
ing or "any old time"
Dorothy Phillips has bought a
lovely tan caracul. three-quarter-
length coat. 1t Is trimmed with
sumptuous black lynx, and she years
a darling little hat OF black satin
trimmed with silver galloon. (Gai-
loon Is a new one on me, but have
to take her word for it,
Marcia Manon says she is about to
appear in a small toque of brown
feathers and tan kasha coat trim

Phillips, three-quarter length and 1t
flares somewhat at the lower part of
the skirt. Sleeves. skirt and collar
are all beaver trimmed.

should be the least of all troubles.
