Our Fathers
Were Not
Dandified
Studios Stylist
Says They've Been
Misjudged
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD.
The fathers of our country
weren't dandifled, says stylist Waldo
Twitchell-thejr taste Ii. clothes has
been misjudsed simply because there
were 70 candid cameras in their
day.
Tviitchell says Hollywood has SHE'D
away from Colonial films because
the effeminate male costumes are
unfattering to high-priced stars.
The case comes to mind of "Lloyds
of London" which almost f1oored
Tyrone Power at the very start of
his career by making him look like
sweet blond.
Only for Formal Wear.
Twitchell looked into the Wash
ingtonian wardrobe situation upon
being assigned to the task of keep
ing the men in The Howards of
Virginia" from looking too pretty in
laces, silks and satin.
He says he found that important
men of that day dressed up in
gorgeous shirt ruffles and knee
breeches usually only for formal
evening dress or to pose for painters.
In the absence of snapshots, those
paintings have given posterity false
ideas about olden styles.
Relatively Simple.
"Nine-tenths of the time" says
Twitchell, "the men of the Colonial
period wore relatively simple CO.'S
TUNES.
Even the white wigs were losing
popularity around ITO and were
used only by the stuffed shirts
To a searcher for movie mascu-
Unity, says Twitchell. these facts are
comforting and convenient.

themselves. In other ways they
proved the similarity of feminine
tastes, habits and opinions in and
out of Hollywood.
Miss Dale, for instance, wrote that
she liked corn on the cob. In her
own words, she loved it." 1t isn't
important, of course, but it happens
that every one of some 80 young
women who have answered the same
foolish question during the last six
or seven years has made almost an
identical answer.
Bette Davis, Olivia De Havilland,
Ann Sheridan and the Lane sisters,
Priscilla and Rosemary, love" corn
on the cob. So do Joan Blondell,
Ruth Chatterton, Kay Francis, Jean
Muir, Jane Wyman and a large
number of others.
Talks to Herself.
Miss Dale does not own a parasol-
and in this she is also like all the
others who have registered an
answer to that foolish question. She
talks to herself when she is alone.
They all do. Her inability to sing
the second verse of THE Star
Spangled Banner" matches similar
lack of knowledge on the part of
every new actress who has been
questioned in the last five years.
These women are completely in
agreement on the weather man, too.
None of them believe his forecasts.
Not a one can be found who says,
Money, money, money" when she
sees falling star. All of them
confess they memorize certain tele-
phone numbers.
Headed by Bette Davis herself,
each of them likes to sit on the
floor, slam doors and go to picnics,
"ants and ALL" as Miss Dale says.
Each of them claims to be able to
recognize robins egg when she
sees one. None of the Warner group
past or present, ever has owned a
pair of detachable heels" That
question will be eliminated in the
near future.
oPoAAn a A1ouys
All of them can knit, including
Brenda Marshall and Ann Sheridan
They knit with moderate success
Kay Francis is expert. They all
claim they can be comfortable in
a hammock. Things they all like
are the trimming of Christmas trees,
the smell of fresh popcorn and flea
| circuses.
No actress of Warner Bros, in
cluding even those who used to be
there, would spank a baby. They
all doubt that complete happiness
is possible in this world and each
of them is tempted to straighten
pictures on other peoples walls.
In certain other answers, how
ever, Dana Dale is entirely unlike
her sister players at Warmers. Miss
Dale, for example, admits quite
openly that she used to paint
china. She is the only actress who
ever has admitted such a thing in
the memory of Warner Studio S
oldest citizen.
On Account of She Freezes.
Also she has ridden in a dog
drawn sleigh and has slept in a
sleeping bag. In addenda in her
own handwriting she wrote:

should happen to remember the
event they'll view it with mixed
emotions.
If you've been reading the papers
you'll understand that fathers bat
ting average seems pretty low out
here. It's father (seldom mother)
who's always starting those family
nuisance suits. His greed in drag
ging well-paid offspring into the
courts on non-support charges has
made many a notorious headline
during the last year or so. He has
harassed and embarrassed the kids
He has been responsible for the
sudden crackup of many a promis-
ing career.
Nevertheless it would be unfair
to list all fathers of the SCREEN
great as blackbirds-and what more
appropriate occasion than Fathers
Day to give the more deserving
pat on the back for staying in the
background? A great many of them
do. They live quietly and indie
pendently many miles removed from
the working site of their sons and
daughters. Others who reside in
Hollywood never seek to bask in the
reflected glory of the youngsters
or to share in their fabulous pay
envelopes.
Never Yet Interviewed.
Let's make a brief study of some
OF these -molesting fathers.
For instance. few have heard any,
thing about or seen a picture of
Clark Gables dad-and yet if there
ever was an ideal father in Holly
wood he's William Gable, parent of
M-G-M's $500 a week top drawing
card. Never yet interviewed, he
never intends to be if he can help it.
He makes his headquarters in a
small HOLLYWOOD apartment when
home, but more often than not can
be found on fishing expeditions in
the Sierras. He has visited Clark's
studio just once. Only after a lot
OF coaxing did he attend the gala
premiere of Gone With the Wind"
at the Carthay Circle. Even so
he refused to wear tuxedo. After
the event he said "All this fuss and
feathers is lot of malarkey."

In one scene for "The Daltons
Ride Again" Scott, a law school

town he hasn't seen since a boy and
meets his old playmates, blossoming
into full-f1edged desperadoes.
The script called for an effusive
greeting, with much pounding and
backslapping. BY the twelfth re-
take the brothers were experts at
the cordial welcome. AS Scott
tells it:
No More Fun.
THAT big moose Crawford
punches me in the ribs. Donlevy
lets me have an elbow on the other
side. Erwin's supposed to pull my
hat down. He does it with his fist.
I've been seeing stars the last six

pat my shoulder, pats my chin with
his knuckles. Boy, this has ceased
to be fun"
