OF the boulevard is different. The STU
dloS are taking on some of the quality
of the stage.
Girls like Helen Twelvetrees are being
brought out from New York to play in
talkies. Robert Benchley and Arthur
Caesar are seen chatting at luncheon
tables which yesterday were sacred to
Lady Cinema.
Hollywood is being Broadwayized-
Tinpan Alleyized. And the Claire
Windsors, the Olive Bordens, the Bebe
Daniels are fading from the front ranks.
Fans will have to make lot of new
contacts in the next six months.
Talsles will create some brand-new
enthuSiaSms.
Whether talkies will develop the rad
ical enthusiasts which the silent drama
evolved remains to be seen. But there's
general scurrying for vaudeville con-
tracts, for stock market tips, for econ
omy measures in the vicinity OF the
seasoned player who hasn't saved a
great deal OF the money made during
the reign Of popularity.
Popular players pass from the scene,
and even the Hollywood audience doesn't
realize that they have gone. I asked

The original mousquetaire sleeve was
very much like the one that has come
into fashion this season. 1t was a
straight, long sleeve that fell into grace
full wrinkles between elbows and hands
only when it was worn. The mouSque-
taire sleeves that were worn in the COS
and again 10 or Is years ago were
mounted on Innings and made with
shirrings that held the ripples in place.
It was way back in the middle
ages that women--and men, too--tlrst
wore these gracefully rippled sleeves.
The sleeves then were made long be-
cause gloves we're practically unknown
and on cool days the ends were simply
drawn down over the hands to give pro-
lection. There was virtue in this ne
cessity and soon the rippled sleeve came
to be admired apart from Its usefulness.
Sleeves, am assured, are to be more
ornate, more picturesque, more intri-
cate. There has been a strong tend

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

Now Dita Parlo has to walk home from

ticket home.
OF such delightful little mistakes are
movies made. Eva Won Berne, whose
story has been told in these columns,
was the first little German girl to get
the international round trip free of
charge, thanks to an inspiration on the
part of Norma Shearer and her hus-
band, Irving Thalberg.
Eva was finesSed into one role, oppo-
site John Gilbert, at that. Then was
sent back to Germany to learn to speak
English. AT least that was the official
explanation of her return to the mother
country.

cluded group of prominent Hollywood

ones for daddy's office and others
to delight even the mother who spon-

Such gifts are more lasting and ac-

High Hat.
High hat" is no longer merely a
slang expression. 1t has entered the

meaning and a maximum of smartness.
1t means that there is a definite trend

An inverted tuck in the top of the
crown gives the additional inch or so

height is added by pompon or bow,
