styles when she appeared on the
screen as Cleopatra" wearing bangs.
Now in THE Palm Beach Story"
she will wear a new arrangement
of the same hair dress. At no
time in her career has she made
a drastic deviation from the style.

worn by the actor when he starred
in the Broadway hit, ''Winterset," +"

often that 1t Is now the most i'm

OF course, you remember Charlie
Chaplin's trade mark: Derby, cane,
baggy trousers, ill-fltting shoes and
tightly worn cutaway. The little
mustached comedian became a world
famous figure after he adopted the
garments. They're the symbol of
a lovable tramp personality.
And That Sar0ng,
Harold Lloyd's horn-rimmed
spectacles made millions laugh, and
the actor millions.
Jack Benny is seldom seen, either
on the screen or in public, without
his long black cigar.
Dorothy Lamour promenaded
through five early movies wearing
a sarong and she became the rave
of masculine movie-goers every
where. She burned her sarong the
other day-but only for publicity
Dorothy and her sarong are inev-
itably linked. II one passes, SO
does the other.
Like Claudette's bangs, the strik-
ing hair-do of Hedy Lamar, when
she made her coming-out sensa-
ton in "Algiers," became a trade
mark. Thousands of little girls
everywhere copied that part in the
middle, as did a few lovely rivals
of Hedy right here in Hollywood
notably Joan Bennett.
Other coiffure trade marks were
the platinum tresses of the late Jean
Harlow, which caused shopgirls
