STYLE CHATS

It seems that the Soviet stylistS
recently staged a style show, and
the witnesses say everything was
great except that the styles were
two years behind Paris and that
none of them could be worn on
the streets Of Paris or London with
out attracting attention.
And from the primitive noun
tain sections Of New Guinea comes
the report that it takes d style
five years to travel distance of
20 miles. Tie inland tribes are so
hungry for new fashions that they
will trade pigs or surrender their
only food supplies for new song
or fashion.

Chicago to become enmeshed in a

CLARA BOW TO
OPEN SUNDAY
IN HOOPLA'

Clara Bow comes to the United
Artists theatre in her second star
ring picture for Fox Film, Hoop
Ia" This production is the screen
adoption of John Kenyon Nicholson's
Stage success, THE Barker" The
screen version was written by Brad
ley King and Joseph Moncure
March. Frank Lloyd, widely her
aided as the maker of "Cavalcaoe,"
and Berkeley Square, is the di-
rector of this new Clara Bow film.
The background of the story is a
country carnival, and it presents
Miss Bow with a new type of en-
vironment. Against its ever-chang-
ing nature. she offers what has been
heralded as her most important role
on the screen. She plays the part
of a carnival dancer who sets out
to win the love Of a young man
worlds removed from carnival life.
She starts on her venture as the
result of a wager, but finds herself
enmeshed in romance that is en-
tirely strange to her. 1t has a whole
someness and a sincerity with which
she is wholly unfamiliar. 1t is the
method in which this experienced
woman works out her life to encom-
pass simple love that provides
Clara Bow with what is reported
as the perfect vehicle.
Miss Bow heads a cast that in
cludes a number of Hollywood
most attractive personalities, Pres
ton Foster, one of the newer lights
on the Fox roster, has the leading
masculine role opposite her. Richard
Cromwell, the youngster who is fast
achieving stardom, is seen in the
principal romantic role.
