To Be WeII-Dressed

Five ways for modern woman

1887 instead of being the oddly
dressed woman of 1886 were laid
down today by Adrian, fashion Gre

At the same time he says don't

The designer arrived at these
rules while designing the new
wardrobe in "The Last of Mrs.
Cheyney," starring Joan Crawford.
The production marks Adrian'S
first modern picture in a year, and
will include 40 smart creations for
the coming seasons.

survive in the picture produced

received hundreds of letters pro-
testing Sylvia's death. They
ranged from mild objections 10

Doctor Douglas has not always

HOLLYWOOD, March 6 Q.N.S0,
Housewives, attention!
1t is you who gives motion pic
ture stars their start to fame and
fortune!
This was the explanation today
of John M. Stahl, veteran direc-
tor, for the phenomenal rise of
new screen personalities.
"Out of the thousands of at
tractive and talented young actors
and actresses Stahl said, "there
comes a Robert Taylor or an
Eleanor Powell. One day they
are unknowns, the next their
names are on everyone's lips.
WhyP The question puzzled me
for years.
This is my theory, developed
from analyzing hundreds of
players who have become stars al
most overnight. Taylor is an excel
lent example. Naturally, M.-G.-M.
felt it had a promising and valu-
able property in Taylor. But how
valuable no one could say exactly,
or even guess.
Perhaps there were 200 women
in the preview audience that saw
Taylor in Society Doctor They
went home raving about him. It
seems to me that there is some
thing magic in what follows. Like
telepathy, within a week every
woman in the United States knows
that an actor by the name Of
Robert Taylor is sensation"

have included Back Street" and
Strictly Dishonorable," and who

Robinson Hurt
As Car Goes
In Ditch
BY HARRISON CARROLL
(Copyright, 1887. by international
News Service)

HOLLYWOOD, March 6 q.N.S0. {.
To the superstitiouS in Hollywood,
the proverbial cycle of three was
borne out again yesterday in a
series of accidents involving mem
bers of the film colony.
In Pasadena, Marcella Arnold,
film stunt girl, was fatally injured
Wednesday night when an auto
mobile overturned during shooting
Of a chase scene.
On her way to the Warner
studio yesterday, Marie Wilson,
blonde .comedienne and possessor
of Hollywood's longest natural
eyelashes, was badly hurt in an
other motor accident.
The third accident, with less
serious results, occurred during
the filming Of a location scene for
the Warner picture, kid Gala
had" Edward G.. Robinson was
supposed to drive a car up a short,
steep hill, jam on the emergency
brake, and get out.
But when Robinson jammed on
the brake the rod broke and the
car started rolling back down the
hill out of control. It finally
ended up overturned in ditch.
Robinson was painfully but not
badly hurt.

cal a,5ets make those of the great
est current stars look like the faded
girl on last years calendar.
Also there is the unconteStable
fact that it takes several screen
stars, all put together, to equal
one good-looking woman, accord
ing to many of the nations fore
most artists who every year or 50
pop up with composite photo
graphs.
In these photographs the artists
use the eyes of Merle Oberon, the
hair of Hepburn, the brow Of
Anita Louise, the nose of Claudette
Colbert, the chin of Carole Lom-
bard and the legs of Marleue
Dietrich. The result is regarded
as the ultimate in beauty.
B. P. Schulberg, famous discov-
erer of stars including this years
John Trent, who was found pilot
ing a TranScontinental Western
Airline plane, says that all OF this
is a ray of hope to Americas mil
lions, many of whom, not beautiful
nor handsome, aspire to movie
fame, but hopeleSSly.
They, according to Schulberg,
have 10 chances to beauty's one
because, not being beautiful, they
usually are capable of developing
that Eight Within" a quality
super-vital to screen success.
Clinching his assertion Schulz
berg quoted from his own expert
ence the fact that thousands Of
beautiful girls arrive in Hollywood
with hope, and depart in despair
each year, whereas a majority OF
screendom's contemporary box-of-
flee attractions were considered
hopeless at first through lack OF
purely physical charm.
He listed as examples his own
celebrated star, Edward Diamond
jim" Arnold, whose physical quail
ties, notably his weight, were
against" him, but who has re-
mained to become one of the great;
Greta Garbo's timidity; George
Bancroft, who had been musical
comedy comedian and was gibed
for his ambition to become a he
man actor; Sylvia Sidney, whom
cameramen insisted could not be
photographed with success!
Moral: Forget your face and
faults, turn on that Inner heat"
and burn down the gates OF film
land!
