So If you are planning your Winter
wardrobe. here are some hints a good
six months ahead of everything else,
because If the Hollywood designer isn't
up to the latest mark, he's out OF
luck. The market would need to lit
its head with the amount Of fur de-
mended BY the new mode, and the
saddest bit of information about the
new evening gown is that none of tn,
coats of last year will fit over the

Aside from that, the outlook is very

Special Dispatch to The Star
HOLLYWOOD, August 25. - They're
going very Russian in Hollywood, and
the latest is a travelogue about the
mysterious lost colony" of Russians
who settled on the Gulf of California
many years ago. The Russians, depart
ing from various spots and people who
proved unfriendly, got lost on purpose.
They knew where they were, even If
the world didn't.
So completely were they successful in
getting lost that they still retain the
old type of customs and costumes with
which they departed for the wilderness.
Their village is barricaded against
strangers, and they look upon cameras
perhaps rightly-as devil boxes"
Nevertheless. Harold Austin made an
expedition with his devil box to the
Russian colony. He found long bearded
men, women and children with fair
hair and remarkably fair compilations
despite the sun tan acquired by success
sive generations in land SO different
from Russia. On behalf of the Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer people. Austin man
aged to persuade some of the older men
and women that the devil box camera
really had no connection with black
magic. Reluctantly they allowed him
to photograph their village in the in
terests of exploration as well as OF the
Russian influence now sweeping the
cinema capital.
On his way back from the lost Rus
sian colony, Austin came upon two ex-
traordinary animal fights. One was
between dog and rattlesnake. The
other, still more unusual, was between
two ENORMOUS desert turtles. The film,
called "Pefils of the Desert" managed,
therefore to contain the only turtle
prize fight ever photographed
incidentally, the film proves that
turtles are more changeable than men.
In spite of the heat, the Russian men
still wear long boards in the desert, but
the turtle, usually a pretty good-tem-
pered creature, develops mean dispo-
sition under the blazing sun. In the
desert the Russia nremains a Russian,
but the turtle thinks it's a rattlesnake
and very nearly proves it.

IN picture of the fash

thing this coming season, according to
Travis Banton, who is costuming movie
beauties for the Fall releases and Win
ter pictures of 1882.
Since motion picture stars must look
ahead of the fashions when their films
are released, and since those films are
often made several months before they
are sent out to exhibitors, the designer
in movieland must know far more about
the trend of the mode than the aver
age artist.
Here are the outstanding features of
all as told me by the artist who Gre
ates gowns for Carole Lombard, Kay
Francis. Tallulah Bankhead, Marlene
Dietrich and a score of other famous
ones.
"The most radical change will be
found in hats says Banton, which
will be worn forward over the eyes,
but not on an angle No longer will
the chic girl reveal one eye; her hat
will be on a dead level directly above
her eyebrows and the crown will be
exceedingly shallow. Hair Is the i'm
portant feature of the new grooming for
