PARIS STYLES

PARIS, Mar. IS. (UP)-Maggy
ROuff carries the present vogue
for Eastern drapery right into the
sands of Palm Beach and Nassau
with little number called "Paci-
figue." 1t has an ankle-length
skirt, tight and gathered like
those seen on the women in Homo
lulu; a black brassiere top, a
green feather lei, and doesn't look
as if it would take 10 water very
well.
If feathers aren't wanted,
Maggy Rouff has more practical
ensembles that feature calf
length trousers, not very wide, in
stripes or chintz-like prints. A
woman can appear until dinner
time in a kclly-green jacket, red
and-white striped trousers. and a
crisp organdy blouse.
Tailored jackets, flannel and
ouble-breasted. also are worn
with trunks (Which end several
inches above the knce), and with
culottes. The same idea is ex-
tended to backless playsuits, which
become dignified when worn with
a matching jacket or topcoat.
When it comes to sport clothes
for town wear, Maggy Rouff Gre
ates colorful ensembles. S h c
matches a whitc-and-grey striped
flannel suit with a black and yell
low blouse; throws a light-grccn
coat over a terracotta dress; com.
bincs pink-striped flannel with
brown organdy: uses pink and
green in squares, plaids, and
stripes, whenever she can.
For afternoon, Maggy Rouff
favors diagonal draping, and finds
she gets best results in heavy
silk net material that looks like
jersey, but isn't, thus turning the
tables on that very popular ma
tcrial which this year has been
woven, cut, sewcd, and generally
treated to look like everything
but itself.
She has made white coat Of

HOLLYWOOD
FILM SHOP
BY ALEXANDER KAHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD. (UP). - An
outstanding film role, often the
means of sending an actor to-
ward stardom, also may send an
animal actor to a point where its
services are worth large sums to
the film studios.
Pilgrim, an equine actor whose
screen debut was made IN III
Human Hearts" is now ranked
high on the list of animal stars.
II Pilgrim were rated like human
beings are in pictures, the horse
would have the rank Of a fea-
tured player.
Jack Gallagher, the trainer
who handled the horse in the pic
ture, places Pilgrim high on in
telligence as horse sense goes.
"This largely is due to the fact
that Pilgrim is a pure-bred Ara,
bian, born on an experimental
breeding farm that the state Of
California operates near Pomona,
Cal.," Gallagher said. 1--WE tested
out several horses for the role but
Pilgrim was the outstanding pros
pect.
"First we made friends with
him by talking to him, walking
with him and feeding the horse.
After time Pilgrim began to UNI
derstand what l meant by the
tone of nv voice. The next thing
was to train the horse to act.
This is done by gently leading
him through the action several
times until he can do what is
wanted without being led.
"To teach him to rear, hand
was placed on his chest, and push
ed upward, while the reins were
pulled. Once he got the idea, the
reins were not necessary and
eventually he would rear without
the han don the chest when APP
preached as though he were to be
pushed there.
"Of course, every success was
rewarded with bits Of apple or
carrots, which showed him he had
won the appreciation of the train
err. The horse was naturally af-
fectionate anyway. A horse that
doesn't make friends with a man
quickly is almost impossible to
train for pictures. .
Pilgrim is 7 years old. Aside
from learning to act from rehear-
sails he is trained show horse,
having been taught the various
gaits and high school, tricks of
the show ring.
