Screen Stars
Set Styles

Although the screen needs ex'
aggeration in clothes. the really
great stars have learned the Sc
cret of good taste which most
American women have not. says
Adrian, noted Hollywood de.
signer. This secret is knowing
where to stop. The really great
stars do not, therefore, set the
styles-they leave that to the
starlets, reports Hildegarde Fill
more, beauty editor of McCall's,
in the November issue:
Hollywood is firing of that
word glamour Although the
designers of movie clothes would
like to be known for their fine,
original creations, it's their
curse to be tagged for the BIZ
Zarre clothes they have to make
for character parts or melodra-
matte situations.
TN his gay studio office, with
its lemon-tinted walls and anus
ing white accessories, pored over
sketches of Adrian's costumes
for current M.-G.-M. stars: Joan
Crawford, Norma Shearer, Con-
stance Bennett. Myrna 10y and
others. I made a note of the
fact that buttons, frogs, fasten-
ings, trimmings, even gloves and
hats, were specially designed to
go with the ensembles. If I
could put my own fashion ideas
into one sentence Adrian re-
marked, I'd say that the secret
Of good taste and charm in dress
is to know where to stop-and
that's one thing most American
women still have to learn, when
selecting a WARDROBE
Free lancing is ward
Greer's speciality. He has de-
signed for almost every we'll
known star, both private and
screen wardrobes. His wealthy
customers pretend not to care
what the stars wear, yet they
often demand copies of an un-
usual and striking gown made
for Loretta Young, Katharine
Hepburn, Irene Dunno or Ann
Harding. He says that movie
clothes weren't important till
the talkies brought stage stars
to the Coast. These brilliant,
distinguished women refused to
wear the fantastic creations
made for them. They went to
the other extreme. choosing
smart clothes that lacked that
edge Of exaggeration movie
clothes need.
Screen stars themselves sell
dom set styles-they have little
time, really, to originate clothes.
And the more important stars
are determined (if they don't
already possess it'd to acquire
. ladylike distinction rather
than a flambuoyant personality.
So they wear correct clothes
the sort that the chic women
wear everywhere, leaving the
sensational creations to younger,
greener starlets, anxious for the
limelight Of publicity.

Black Favored

A black list takes care of
this seasons wardrobe, for black
energies as the favored hue,
despite the emphasis on brown,
green and blue. A popular
model is the two-piece frock of
black crepe with a glittering
touch in the form of rhinestone
hooks and eyes or buttons.
The Washington times., 1934-10-10

Pictures go with periods just
as surely as colors and mate
rails do. OF course good look
ing pictures of certain types will
go we'll in any room. This is
true of flower prints, bird prints
such as the Audubons, and all
pictures that are simple in their
subject and treatment.
Need Not Be Expensive
First let me insist that pic
lures do not have to be ex.
pensive, either themselves or in
their framing. A good clear
print can often be picked up for
a very little money, and framing
costs something, but elaborate,
expensive effects are not usually
the best anyway.
The mat is as important as
the frame, both in character
and size. Be sure you have
enough mat, not only to set
off the picture, but to make it
right for the wall space it is to
occupy. Sometimes tiny pictures
of rather great intensity, par.
ticularly etchings, may take a
huge mat. There's no rule as
far as I know. but most people
who deal in frames and franz
ing should have enough taste to
help you in your selection.
Smart Suggestions
Mats can be diversified too.
In the october issue of House
Beautiful there are several
splendid suggestions, with pho.
tographs of the finished effects.
Among their suggestions that
work out well are these: A
checked gingham mat with plain
white frame for an old-faSh-
Toned print of a man in high
silk hat and knee breeches:
rows and rows of paper lace on
the peppermint pink mat for
fashion plate of the Trilby era
=. and a bunch of pressed
pOSieS added at one corner. The
frame is plain.
For Flower Prints
A flower print, sketchy and
either modern or old-fashioned,
according to the frame, is fur
ther diversified by putting a
shadow box around it in red
and white, and having a paper
mat in the color and design of
lizard skin.
Shy birds are framed in bam-
boo, which gives them the look
of being in their natural habitat.
A sketchy drawing of a polo
player has a grass mat and
natural wood frame, most ap-
propriate. And the painting of
a flower on wood fiber has a
darker wood fiber mat.
Nearly all flower pictures and
natural tone landscapes, if
they are woodsy, will look better
in a natural wood frame,
especially if there is added a
tiny touch of some color in the
picture. Natural wood can be

It is a three buttoner, center
button to button. 1t has a
high gorge and a wide,
slightly notched lapel. The
shoulders are square but not
puffed out. The jacket is
about an inch longer than
the models prevailing now,

Wrong Train

The stew listened attentively,
nodded his thanks, gathered his
belongings-and then proceeded
to climb into the first coach he
came to. He sat alone for five
minutes without realizing that
something was wrong. Then, as
Alvin Hamburg can tell you, he
began to bang away at the win

switchman, who entered the
