we know, IN Lne nrSt place, that tne
picture lacks what no other word than
charm" can describe as the play
most notable characteristic. We know
that, contrary to the original, the plot
Git never was anything more than a
very small thing Is given away in the
0rst two minutes-not zea1ously guard
Cd and built UP, inch by inch, as was
intended by the author. And we feel
certain that Miss Dressler has been
made to do comedy relief" in the midst
of 1t which has no business being
there-Such as that automobile ride TO
town, In which the hunor that is
used Is fiashback to the days when
Mack Sennett was doing his worst,
not his best, work.
ALI these things detract from our be-
ing able to persuade ourselves that
christopher Bean" is a good film. 1t
Is splendidly acted by Lionel Barry
more as the Small-town doctor who
finds that the family maid, Abbey, is
considerably more of a person than
they had ever given her credit for. It
Is further aided by Beaulah Bondi. H.
3. Warner, George CouloriS, Helen
Mack and others. It is a nice, honey
sort of business, with Miss Dressler
free from her Dinner at Eight" pearls
and back to woolens and aprons, But
It lacks that particular spark which
was so evident in the original produc-
tion.
It seemed. in other words, to us to
be kind of dull and overworked.

In 1.-The Right to Romance" which
opened yesterday at R-K-O Keith's,

credible yarn about a woman doctor
who goes West and meets love more or

Miss Harding, who has the happy
faculty of growing handSomer with
every film, and who, women will find,
acts with conviction and certainty a
role which has no conviction or GER

Out of this tranquil denoument

Road to Slenderness.

THE road to slenderness is not short.
L nor is it particularly amusing road
to travel. But it is straight. There are
no detours and it brings you to your
destination safely and feeling very fit..
The first step in any journey is max
ing up ones mind to take it. No woman
who keeps turning back will ever reach
her destination This is especially true
when travelling the road to slenderness
and beauty.
So the first thing ITO do is make up
your mind that you intend to have a
beautiful and youthful figure. Then
chart your way and faithfully follow the
course that you have mapped out. 80
Scales and tape measure are necessary
equipment and the tape measure is just
as important as the scales, because so
many women who are not generally
overweight want to reduce in spots.
With the return of very feminine
type of dress, dresses that have ruff1es,
frills and slim waistlines, a slender
figure is more important than ever.

But when a cape or wide collar or
ether wide -shouldered device. is added
to your costume, those same offending
shoulders are among your best fea-
lures.
I know a woman who found years
ago that an outstanding Medici collar
was one of the most fattering lines
she could wear. Now, of course, she
couldn't go on choosing Medici col
lar year after year. But she adapted
that line to present fashions. II 1t was
a coat she was buying. she took pains
to get a collar that stood up at the
back, forming kind Of frame for the
face. She carried out that same idea
wherever it was possible, with most
pleasing effect.
When you have discovered your best
line you will find it easy in any season
to choose costumes that are built on
that line, or that adapt it in some
way. Not only will your wardrobe
problem be greatly simplified, but you
will find that your costumes are more
distinguished. that you no longer make
mistakes. You will wake up some
morning to find that you are yourself.
in a sense, a designer. BY that I
mean that you will have developed a
feeling for line which you can trans
late into your own costumes.

Feminity in Dress

CHANEL, who was the first to raise
~ sports clothes to the heights Of
fashion, has now abandoned this phase
of dress as the most important part Of
her designing. She says that women
can improvise their own sports costumes
by the use of novel sweaters, berets and
belts. Her most recent collection was
devoted to bringing back to fashion the
grace and fenlinity Of dress which she
feels that the modern woman lacks. al
though quantities of wool suits, wool
blouses and wool hats showed that this
simple type of dress still is close to
Chanel's heart and that her hand has
lost none of its cunning in designing it.
Novel materials, spangles, silver and
gold gauze scarfs and diamond jewelry
made in the form of comets, stars, sky
rockets and sprays. all combine to add
brilliance and richness to the clothes
created by Chanel this season. This de-
signer features many unusual weaves.
No less than 180 new materials appeared
in her recent collection.
