is revealing many advance notes
of spring style interest for Amer

In the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer
picture, Never the Twain Shall

Warmers Earle Theater during
the remainder of this week, a
series of youthful ideas are shown,
worn by the two feminine leads.
Conchita Montenegro and Karen
Morley.
Miss Montenegro's darkroom
plexioned Spanish type of per-
sonality is accentuated by a
flame-colored chiffon evening
gown that she wears in one
scene. In noting the form-fitting
body line of the dress, one can
appreciate how skillfully the de-
signers have introduced this al
Turing line to take the place Of
the revealing neither limbs of the
short-skirted styles. A long vel
vet cloak is worn with this dress,
an ermine-edged collar line and
full cuff being interesting fea-
lures.
The costumes worn by Karen
Morley show a type in keeping
with her feminine bearing. Even
her white sports suit carried out
with patriotic red and blue trim
mings shows girlish treatment
with short bolero jackette having
bell sleeves to harmonic with the
bell-shaped skirt.
A pongee suit is interesting be-
cause of the standing collar Of
straw, the straw also fashioning
her close-fitting turban. Another
short jacket suit of black velvet
is strikingly combined with a
white satin blouse showing an
ascot tie.

Haines' Picture
From BeIasco
Comedy

Just a Gigolo," Metro-Gold'

Belasco stage hit, Dancing Part
ner," with William Haines mas
querading as a gigolo in a Eu-
ropean summer resort, is the cur
rent screen attraction at LoeW's
Palace Theater.
Haines is said to romp through
a whimsically comical situation
that is varied with a few tense
dramatic moments and couple
of heart throbs. Two members of
the original David Belasco stage
cast, brought from New York for
the picture, are said to help pre-
serve all of the flavor of the origi-
nal, while spectacle is added in an
airplane elopment, scenes in
replicas of famous spots in Europe
and other details.
The story deals with the adven-
lures of nobleman who poses as
a gigolo on the Riviera to know
the girl his uncle has arranged
that he marry. He falls in love
with the~ young lady during his
masquerade, and it is reported
that plenty of action speeds the
climax.
