Did Clothes Make the Man ?

WHEN Adolphe Menjou came to
w Hollywood five years ago he
was broke. He needed clothes badly
and so, on hunch, he went to see
prominent tailor. Menjou is a con-
vincing talker. He has that indetin-
able something which makes people
listen to him, even though they do
not always agree with him.
Realizing the tremendous value of
clothes in making one at least feel
successful, Menjou told his tailor his
great need-put it up to him as a
gambling proposition and convinced
him to the extent that this tailor
made him four expensive suits.
The result was magical. Feeling and
being well-groomed Menjou got his
chance The door of opportunity
opened far enough for him to go
through. Today he Is one of the most
popular men in pictures. Men admire
him. women fall in love with him.
And the tailor? He has become ia
nous too. because Adolphe Menjou
did not forget his having faith in
him and has not only bought his
own clothes from him, but sent many
friends to him.
Menjous latest picture role was in
Are Parents People?" He recently
stepped off in Washington on his way
to New York, from where he is sail
ing for Europe, with his wife for a
