ships or particular concern to the
screen actress. Either she does not
wear that kind Of clothes or Is
such q faithful follower OF fashions
whims that q radical change means
nothing. For pictures are just
series Of new gowns to her anv.
way.
1t is an accepted rule Of film
actresses who have reached the
prominence of leading roles not to
wear the same gown in any two
pictures. Not because they are
given to all the dress lavishness so
widely press-s sented. but more as
Q matter of plain. hard business.
Since the films have become the
medium Of latest style displays TO
hundreds Of thousands Of Ameri.
can women, the feminine portion
Of the audiences would not be
hesitant in voicing disa ppointment
at seeing the same gowns dragged
through picture after picture.
Continuous shopping at the
smart shops and dressmating
ablishments Is a part Of the
routine Of the screen actress life.

has the leading feminine role in

And there must be contrast in the
Eowns. For two OF the cast to ap.
pear in similar gowns would be
more dangerous offense than to
come clashins together at a social
function.
What becomes Of all these ac-
cumulated gowns?" is a question
often asked by women. Miss
Moore, for instance, has q pet
charity that is enriched by her
once!worn wardrobe. At least one
girl went through college on the
funds furnished by the sales Of
Miss Moore's gowns.
"our wardrobe are our necessary
stock in trade" said Miss Moore.
1--WE have to dress each Of our
roles as carefully as the debutante
prepares for her first big social
event. Often we are called upon
for character costuming. That
means hunting and study for the
proper effect. The so-called COS
tune. plays also mean tedious
preparation.
ITO accumulate twenty or thirty
gowns useless to US after one pic
ture is an ordinary occurrence. In
addition we must have q complete
collection Of stock clothes, such
as riding outfits, mountain tog-
gerry, golf equipment and all that"
