Pictorial enunciation, used

gree by Ruth Taylor, will result
In the elimination or more than
dozen subtitles from the Para
mount screen version of Anita
Loos' Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
1t was announced today by Direc-
tor Malcolm st. Clair.
Miss Taylor, who plays the role
of Lorelei, ne plus ultra of gold
diggers, speaks with such per-
feet lip movements that several
written subtitles are redundant,
st. Clair said.
Final decision as to the
eliminations depends on Miss
Loos' approval, since she is to
do the final editing and titling,"
st. Clair said. III am sure, how
ever, that she will agree with me
that Miss Taylor's perfect speech
makes several OF them I'M
necessary.
Miss Taylor possesses the
ability to. make herself under

greater degree than any screen
player l ever saw. The peculiar
thing Is that this unusual ability

in WHICH OUR
WOMEN ARE
ADVISED

American women are beauti.
full, appreciative of art in dress
and keenly alive to things import
ant in the world, but they have
not fully realized their power for
individuality, brought about by
their wealth"
This is the way in which Max
Rec, costume director, expresses
his views on modern costuming in
Hollywood and other parts of the
country.
at is up to American women
to demand individual frocks, coats,
accessories. and even perfumes,
which have become such an i'm.
portant factor in the ensemble"
says Rec.
The trouble in the past few
years has been that women have
relied on "ready mades" for styles
and discarded the old.fashioned
dressmakers. who after all, catered
to individuality, even though the
modes of times past may not
have been as tailored or as sim.
pie as they are today, according
to Rec.
American women" he says.
admire the clothes worn by mo-
ton picture stars, because they
smack of individuality. This is
because the gowns worn are gen.
orally made on the lot, the efforts
of costume creators who study
their subjects and the PERSONAL
ties of the persons"
