Dr.. Stork Calls or
BIondeII Trip

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 16.
A last minute conference with
DR.. Stork has wrecked the plans
of Joan Blondell and husband.
George Barnes, for that trip to
Tahiti. The pair expected the
Barnes heir in october. The new
information says earlier. SO the
Tahiti trip is now off.
Chief reason for the abandon
ment is Joan's aversion to haV-
ing her baby born anywhere out
side of the United States. She
remembers too we'll her expert
ences in Shanghai that time
when she was stranded by a
show troupe when a girl of II.
But the other reason is that
the boat for home leaves Tahiti
only once a month and should
the event come on the high seas
she is afraid the ship might not
have the best facilities.
She lacks the superb conf
dence that Mary Astor had when
she took that prenatal trip to the
South Seas and wound up right
on schedule to have her baby in
the hospital in Honolulu as
planned months in advance.
In place of the Tahiti jaunt,
Joan and her husband will visit

After 7 Years Bad Luck, Charley Ray
At Last Is Back in Movies

has come off his day dreams
and the reality alone shows
now.
But he wants it understood
that the fate of his being broke
had nothing to do with his get
ting work. He didn't come to
the Paramount Studios to seek
job, he says, but only to pay
social call on an old friend. The
new Charlie Ray didn't have to
smother his pride and beg for
work-he's mighty proud of that.
I'm going to do pretty well
this coming year." he says. II
can't explain why 1 am, but
the fact is definitely settled in
my mind. I'm In good shape
now and I'm going to take
things as they come; small
part or big, they're all the
same to me now.
my big chance will come
again and I'll simply 80 along
until 1 find my niche back
into this industry. So don't
waste time writing SOb-siSter
stories about me. 1 don't need
them. I've had my fun"
And then Charlie Ray becomes
conscious of these holes in his
shoes and smiled: Those are
my comfortable shoes: I always
wear them when walking"-snd
he winked and left.

Garbo Visitor to
Lubitsch Set

HOLLYWOOD, June 16.-When
she made her first appearance
on the Metro.Goldwyn-Mayer lot
since Queen Christina" was fin
ished, Greta Garbo did something
which some think is a step to-
ward coming out of her long, self
imposed isolation.
In slacks and dark glasses, the
Swedish sphinx visited the stage
where THE Merry Widow" is be-
ing made. This is the first mo-
ton picture set she has been on
other than that Of a picture she
was actually making.
The invitation to visit came
from Ernest Lubitsch, with whom
she has been friendly ever since
she came to America. After chat
ting briefly with Director Lub-
itSch, Maurice Chevalier and
jeanette Macdonald, she watched
them make a scene and then slip
ped silently away.
Every one on the set was agog
after she had left. They rushed
up to Lubitsch to find out what
the Scandinavian enigma had to
say.

fresh grip on his cigar, II can

So you see, the Nordic riddle Is

philosopher on the utilities OF
life. He is starting all over
again and curiously enough at
the Paramount Studios, which
in recent months has dealt new
opportunities to Jack Mulhall,
George Walsh, Helene Chadwick
and William Farnum-a quartet
Of former notables whom Fate
forgot.
Charlie believes that luck runs
In cycles of seven years and that
his stretch of heartaches is over.
He can prove this belief Of his
through a romantic episo
which occurred but a few days
ago.
He arrived at the studio to
tell his friend Douglas MacLean,
Paramount producer, that he lad
just gotten over a sick spell
which had lasted six years and
to tell Doug" that he had just
sent his novel of Hollywood to a
New York publisher.
Doug" MacLean remembered
Charlie when he didn't have
holes in his shoes and when he
would have been a bit more
neticulous about the cut of his
coat and the hang OF his trous-
ers. He remembered the grand
actor that he was and offered
him a part, and fairly good
one, in Ladies Should Listen"
And so Charlie Ray came back
Tito pictures-into his first
sound film-not as the barefoot
boy that he once was, but as a
character actor and a man with
o philosophy.
He wants to get back to work
to pay off his honest" debts,
which are plenty and the result
of almost three years of sickness
and idleness. Happily for him,
he has no illusions of paying
these off quickly, for the gloss

organdie coat, a little less tai
lored, met my eye on my last
tour of stores. The print is col
orful, even more summery than
that worn by Miss Patterson,
and the coat ties with a huge
bow under the chin.
Pale Pink and Blue
But another costume caught
my eye, which is even better
tempered to the hot breezes
that blow about our Washing
ton. 1t is a gown of pale blue
organdie, made simply, with a
coat of equally pale pink or
candle. It's about the sweetest
costume I've ever seen. made
for a blond or brunette with
good complexion, and so very
youthful.
For those of us who want to
freshen up the dresses we al
ready have, who want to give a
more Summery look to those we
bought in the springtime, there
are plenty Of organdie capes
and jackets that may be bought
separately.
Crisp and Sheer
They're smart over printed
dresses, over plain color crepes,
over cottons, or even with satin.
If your cape or jacket is fresh
and crisp, and it's easy to keep
it so, it will make your whole
dress look new, and will make
it so much more suitable for
our hot nights.
Not only organdie, but net
makes these new confections to
add to your wardrobe. Some
are ruffled, some are made Of
plain folded bands, some are
rather plain. White pique coats,
and linen coats are smart to
use as wraps, but many a night
you do not really need a wrap.
And so a little organdie or net
cape will serve as transforma-
tion for your dress, and as even
ing wrap, too.
The Washington times., 1934-07-10

Not all Washington men pay
much attention to their clothes
for business. They may dress
with ScrupulouS care for the
evening, but according to them,
most anything will do" for busi-
ness.
This is a very careless atti-
tude, for business is of the ut
most Importance to most men.
And they are judged to some ex-
tent, sometimes to quite large
extent by what they wear. It's
important to be careful on all
days, not only on those that in
clude special appointments or
weighty interviews.
Here's the correct set-up for
town and business wear. You'll
find it followed by the better
dressed, successful men of your
acquaintance. A suit is really
correct, though these days odd
trousers and jacket may be sub
stituted. At best it looks like a
substitution, however, so if you
want to be really correct, wear
trousers to match your coat.
Choice Of Materials
Your coat may be single or
double breasted, and of plain or
fancy flannel, worsted, cheviot,
Saxony, cashmere, etc. Wealth
er like this you may substitute
one of the new Palm Beach ma.
terials, tropical worsted or flan-
mel, in which case your acceS-
sories will not be quite as for.
NAL as those we are about to
describe.
Your trousers match your
coat, and may have cuffs or not,
as you prefer. Your waistcoat
may be single breasted or double
breasted, and of the same ma
terial as your suit, or in latter
sail checks.
Stiff Collar Correct
There are several possible
choices as to shirts and collars.
