Hip Draping'
One Of Falls
Innovations
That's Latest Word

Women's Styles
~ the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
stylist 10 Copeland says this is q
good year for: Women's shoulders,
domestic textiles, South American
popularity in styles and patriotic
motifs In clothing.
Miss Copeland, New York designer
here to visit such of her patrons as
Mary Pickford, Carmel Myers and
Simone Simon, regards broad
shoulders as definitely the outstand-
ing. note in the new modes for
women.
Directly related, she says, is the
fact that "hip draping" will be one
OF the accepted innovations for fall.
Men who have been scofing at
padded shoulders for women might
Just as well make up their minds
to accept them indefinitely" declares
Miss Copeland.
But More Carefully.
Broad shoulders do too much to
improve the figure, narrowing waist
and hiplines, ever to be discarded.
However, shoulder padding will
be done more carefully, with no dip
between the end Of the normal line
and the beginning Of the padding SO
the frock won't look as though it had
q coat hanger inside"
California will continue to lead in
the world Of smart sports clothes,
says Miss Copeland. Americana" is
the new theme song for both sports
and evening wear, chiefly in the use

Claudette Has
Been a Help
To Many
HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
It was Claudette Colbert who gave
Ray Milland his first crack at q
real screen break-and MiAand
hasn't forgotten. Reporting on the
set Of '.Arise My Love" in which
Claudette Is being. starred at Para
mount, the first thing he did was to
display his appreciation-in the
form Of an award.
In q ceremony so brief no one no.
ticed, Milland presented Claudette
with a small lily Of gold, centered
with clear white diamond
"Just a lot of gratitude" stam-
mered Milland. You know you
were pretty darned kind when I was
first starting in pictures several
years ago"
Going back half a dozen years,
one finds that Claudette actually
was responsible for Milland's ad-
vance into the big time. They were
looking for likely lad to play with
her in 1.-THE Gilded Lily" Claudette
saw tests of Milland, the bit player,
liked his looks and screen conduct
and held out for his assignment to
the role.
II was raw, green and nervous, !:
said Milland. II was just about to
quit this business and try something
else. She put me at my ease, coached
and encouraged me in every way"
Mil1and's career has. advanced by
the well-known leaps and bounds
ever since-but he is by no means
alone among leading men helped
along the roadway to fame by Col
bert pictures.
Melvin Douglas was getting no
where fast as a sinister white
collared meanie until q Colbert
film, "She Married Her Boss" re-
vealed his remarkable talents as q
light comedian. He's been playing
funny heroes ever since.
In II Met Him in Paris" it was
Robert Young who lost his rightly
and serious mien and became an
easy-going humorous romancer-a
transformation that saved his career
in the nick of time.
Then, there's the case Of Charles
Boyer. The Frenchman had be-
come disguised with Hollywood and
returned to his native land "for
good" Walter Wanger brought him
back for Private Worlds"-and the
star of that film was Claudette COL
bert. It was the break that estab-
hshed Boyer.
Another Colbert picture, cit Hap
pened One Night" did great deal
for both Claudette and q young fel-
low named Clark Gable, who was
catapulated to the heaps very top
Fred MacMurray also got his first
break, along with Milland In 1.-THE
Gilded Lily"
1T may be coincidence" Milland
says, but If young fellow wants q
break the best thing he can do-and
I refer to the records-is get q job
in q Colbert picture. It's the sure
springboard to success"

ever it implies of wisdom, enlighten-
ment, or maybe decadence, they can
be merry even when the villain re-
marks, "Oh, sin?" as If it were some
thing injected unfairly into his
good-by to that romance.
Whatever the audience does, how
ever, Director Ralph Fowler has
seen to it that his cast plays East
Lynne" with the reverence it de-
serves as the saddest play ever
written about the woman paying.
The Interpretation is styled to fit
the period of the play just as are
the costumes. In consequence, its
most deadly serious moments as
play are the lightest ones for the
audience. Lady Isabels famous re-
morse born seliloquy of advice to
all jealous wives and mothers thus
becomes a fine comedy moment,
perhaps the finest of the too many
moments which East Lynne" con-
sumes.
The various characters which Mrs.
Wood created in her dudgeon at the
way the world was going in the Dos
are handled with commendable skill
by the Roadside company. Betty
Gray, as the wife whose jealousy
led her into the sin of which she
unjustly suspected her husband, is
an effectively tragic heroine. AS

Appeal for Aid 10 Allies

Americas history always has been
bound up with European power
politics and this country's future
will be shaped by the outcome of the
present war, DR. Esther Caukin
Brunauer, lecturer and writer on in
ternational affairs, said here last
night.
DR.. Brunauer spoke at the annual
banquet of the District Vocational
Association, held at the Dodge Hotel.
Teachers in the Districts vocational
schools and other citizens interested
in these schools were guests.
The speaker scorned the view of
American isolationists that the
United States could remain un-
affected by European politics, point
out that the Colonial wars were the
first reaction on this continent to
Old World battles.
The American Revolution was
successful because of European poll
tics, she said, and cited several other
instances in which this country has
been affected. The Monroe Doctrine
was written because of the European

Penitentiary Rioting
Reported Checked;
Warden Fearful
I Don't Know What Might
Happen Next Says
Smith in Philadelphia

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Rioting
by nine long-term convicts at the
Eastern State Penitentiary was re-
ported under control today, al
though all still refused to eat and
Warden Herbert B. Smith said he
felt as if he were sitting on
powder keg"
Il don't know what might happen
next" the prison head said last
night.
The disturbance occurred Satur-
day. but was quickly quelled. Warden
Smith said it was caused by the
ringleaders in an unsuccessful es-
cape plot which came to light last
st. Valentines Day, when two care
fully-dug tunnels were discovered
under the ancient prison.
They said they wanted better
cells, better furniture and better
radio service the warden declared,
but from what I can see all they
really wanted was to make a little
trouble
Held in solitary confinement, the
men launched their outburst by rip
ping up and setting fire to their
mattresses, smashing the furniture
in their cells, yelling and pound
ing on the cell doors and gratings,
the warden disclosed yesterday.
Three of the men started fighting
with guards rushed to the scene, he
said, adding we had to subdue
them, and we didn't waste any time
doing it." The remaining six, he
continued, had swallowed enough
smoke to be harmless. Fourteen
other men in the block, who did not
take part in the riot, were removed
also.
Warden Smith said that since the
nine have been returned to solitary
confinement, meals have been
brought to them three times each
day and have been refused. He as
serted no attempt will be made at
forcible feeding.
