Spring Fashions Come In
Two by Two
A LII the new fashions are COM
"A ing in by couples. Two colors,
two fabrics, two parts in a dress
they make our new spring
things twice as interesting as If
they came singly.
One of the most important Of
the new fashions, in Paris and
New York, is the vogue of COM
bining colorS. Dark tops take
light skirts, dark skirts have light
bodiceS. Contrasting ScarfS, con-
traSting yokeS. contrasting details
in necklines and sleeves are all
new and good-as we'll as in
teresting. Some favored couples
are black with white, pink, cora
yellow or light blue-navy with
lighter blue, white or corn yellow.
Two fabrics form some Of the
smartest new costumes. Plain
jersey makes a jacket that's worn
over a plaid knitted dress. A
silk crepe dress has wool crepe
jacket. A soft blue chiffon eve
ming gown uses matching lace for
its jacket.
But the very most important
of the two" fashions is the two
piece jacket suit. This fashion
is definitely in the lead. Some
times the jacket suit is a genuine,
tailored suit of wool, sometimes
a supple affair Of silk crepe.
And a few are those impuiently
youthful new affairs with three
quarter sleeves and no collar to
the jacket. so that the sleeves
and the collar of the dress may
show.

Books Rival Bullets for
Importance in Film Version
OF Mighty "CimarrOn"
DOCKS as we'll as bullets played
ID an important part in the pic
turesuue career of Yancey Cravat,
hero of Edna Ferber's epic OF
early Oklahoma, "Cimarron."
To establish this important
phase of his life in the screen
version. Radio Pictures spent
$4,000 stocking a library for Rich
ard Dix, who plays Yancey in the
picture.
A book connoisseuer himself,
Dix took an active interest in the
selection, which included such
rare volumes as Bartlett's Con
cordance to Shakespeare; PRO
pertius"; Ruffpheds Life of the
Popes";; Centars Handmade to
the Arts; "Juvenalis";; "A His
tory of the English People; The
British Theater"; a King James
version of the Bible in script,
and Chaucer's works.
Practically all the volumes were
original prints of privately print
ed first editions.
They came from all parts of
the United States and many cost
as much as $500 each.

Months Spent in Producing
Wonder ShOw-Flawless
Preparation Given Edna
Ferber's "CimarrOn"
MO motion picture in history
~ has received the elaborate and
painstaking preparation given
"Cimarron," Radio Pictures no
table version of Edna Ferber's
epic novel. Every step in the
production was marked with I'M
usual intelligence and care, with
the result that audiences at the
R-K-O Keith's theater hail it
among the outstanding films Of
all time.
The task of producing the
"best seller" on the screen with
absolute fidelity to the book,
made it necessary for Louis Sar-
ecky, associate producer; Wesley
Ruggles, director; Richard Dix,
star, and Howard Estabrook,
scenarist, to spend nearly three
months on the adaptation.
When the script was ready, the
Radio Pictures property depart
ment spent months assembling
material before a camera crank
could be turned. Thirty-five
hundred horses and mules were
gathered from all parts of the
country, including Mexico and
Canada. One thousand fifty We
hicleS of the type in use before
the "horSeless carriage" made it's
appearance were procured in out
of-the-Way places of the United
States. Research parties went
into the interior of Oklahoma,
the locale of the story, and COL
lected old photographs, furniture
and special props"
Then the production and loca-
tion departments created two life
sized replicas of early Oklahoma
towns at Radio Pictures ranch,
built corrals, reared buildings
and tents to house 750 teams.
ters and supervised the installa-
ton of light and water mains.
All this consumed several months
time.
In the meantime, Ruggles and
his staff made extensive screen
tests for the 33 leading charac-
ters of the book. Although Rich
ard Dix was chosen as the star
before the book was purchased,
almost fifty leading stage and
screen actresses were tested be-
fore Irene Dunno was chosen for
the part of Sabra.
Many months Of production
followed, involving wages for
$4,000 extras and Usage Indians
brought from Oklahoma, and the
largest technical staff ever as
sembled for a picture.
"Cimarron" is the story Of
early Indian Territory life and the
Oklahoma land rushes. The story
depicts the passing of Americas
last frontier" the evolution of a
new country from 1889 to 1880;
the social evolution of the Five
Civilized Tribes of Indians; the
magic discovery of oil that en-
riched the Usage; and the emo
tional relationship between Yam
cey Cravat, picturesque but i'm.
provident attorney-editor and his
finely bred, Southern wife, Sabra.
These two roles are played by
Dix and Miss Dunno.
Many of the scenes were film
ed in Oklahoma. Others were
made at the ranch, oil fields near
Venice, Cal, and near Inglewood,
Cal. At the latter place the dy-
manic land rushes were staged.
Five thousand extras" and $500
horses and mules were used dur
ing the three days required to
photograph this highlight.
The scenes were photographed
from the air, moving trucks, sta
tionary and buried cameras
