found the Eastern woman knew
more about Hollywood than she
did. Reading movie stories did
the trick.
A special length of fabric, 10
yards of the only piece in exiS-
tence, was purchased for a gown
to be worn by Maureen O'Sullivan
in the new production, my Dear
Miss Aldrich." The fabric, made
from especially treated silk paper,
is white and transparent, hand
embroidered with black, cello
plane bow knots. It. is to be FASH
toned into an evening gown and
trimmed with varying width bands
Of black velvet.
Canvas stretchers have found Q
new use. The Metro oldwyn-
Mayer wardrobe department has
discovered that they are ideal for
preventing all beaded gowns from
ripping, travelling or tearing away
from the fabric.
Since these gowns are heavy and
tend to push together and become
tangled in a box, the Stretcher
idea is ideal. Small pins faSten
the garment at the shoulders at
the hemline, and keeps it in per

HOLLYWOOD, July 27.-A
famous college football player was
knocked cold in a boxing contest
with Queenie, the trained movie
bear. June Travis, leading woman
in "Over the Goal" in which both
the footballer and the bear are
playing, refereed the bout and de-
clared the knockout fair, and the
count correct. Both bear and boy
wore boxing gloves, and June
thinks the K. o. was a right paw

scaled 1877 pounds, the bruin 287.
Seven members Of noted police
