Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatch TO The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 20
N.A.NA).-We are through with pas
tells for evening wear-a fact I an
nounce with a glad heart. I am that
sick Of pale blue women, pale pink
hips, pale yellow torsos and pale laven-
der ensembles.
From now on, if Hollywood's de-
signers are to be believed, your gal
will wear burnt orange, odd shades of
red and frocks of deep yellow with
topcoats of brown or almost black
green.
The brown evening frock will come
back into its own. This means re-
turn of the brown lace dress, the most
becoming informal evening garment to
9 women out of 10.
Carole Lombard has already launched
a tawny-toned costume, which Travis
Banton has made for her. This de-
slgner is one of the leaders of the
tiger-toned craze
1t is an amazingly simple frock Of
burnt-orange crepe with a slight train.
There isn't single ornament on it.
1t is broad in the shoulders, with a
dropping line, has s. yht capelet across
the back, ties in loose crush girdle
effect on one hip and is worn with
long topcoat of golden brown velvet.
If you happen to have a string of
pale topaz to loop about your throat,
you're set. II you haven't, try cry
ing for one and If worst comes to
worst, you'll have to get one of those
pretty clever imitations-and maybe
your best friend won't know the diff
ference.
If you still have some Of those pas
tel frocks left in your wardrobe-espe-
cially if you've just bought couple
try this on them:
Put a huge bunch of cornfiowers on
your pale blue crepe frock. 1t will
give it character, according to Miriam
Hopkins. This clever lady takes a
bunch Of scarlet poppies and thereby
removes the curse of the pastel mode
from her pale butter yellow crepe frock
Now if you want to know what the
Beau Brummels around town will wear
this year. here is the way Nils Asther
appeared on the R-K-O lot to begin
work opposite Ann Harding in Beau
tiful."
A dark brown tweed sports coat was
belted and pleated in the back and
had a cap to match. The trousers
were of light gray tweed Without cuffs.
A white shirt, horizontal striped tie of
varying colors and a pair of dark green
suede shoes completed the costume.
Were the men envious?
Francis Lederer late of New York
and supposed to be the rage with the
gals of Manhattan and wayside places
gave one despairing look and then
rushed him out to a tailor.
But the piece de resistance was worn
bv Adrienne Ames the other day when
she entered the studio gates in tai
lored suit Of organdie. Yes, organdie.
II was of navy and white stripes and
the revers were in solid white or
candle. The gloves we're of blue and
white stripes and had a primly fluted
ruffie OF white at the top of their
gauntlets.
The little sailor was of navy blue

gets very impatient at what is going

during this screening. At the end
she exclaimed Kay is magnificent -
Franchot Tone thought SO, too. The
whole room leverberated with Hepburn.
Sisters stars have very little use for
each other. You will not find, for in

Harlow are fond of each other. Nor
will you find many of the mighty who
have much to say for Carlo. Yet, in
the case of Miss Hepburn, most of
them take off their hats.
This is a curious phenomenon. Most
people out there who have strong
beginning are apt soon to have strong
ending The place is too full of
tongues and talent to allow the mighty
to become too mighty.
This, however, is what Miss Hepburn
has done. And no one begrudges her
the good fortune.
AS you look at her you are struck by
the eagerness in the eyes-the vitality
Of the whole expression. We watched
her having lunch at the R-K-O studio

sat down until she was through lunch

smiling, fitting her head this way and
that, little like bird, you became
conscious at once of what Lynn Riggs
said about her: She has the most in
teresting profile and the keenest sense
of values in Hollywood"
Whether or not she is making a mis-
take by playing the prima donna al
ready is question. We are inclined to
think no" She has everything at
her finger r-tips-courage vitality, ability
and originality. She does nothing like
any one has before her. She is still
willing to listen to her director She
and Mr.. Cukor are said to get along
