pre-War luxuries. His current show ing was seldom surpassed in pre- war days for richness of fabrics, color and trimming. His waistline and hemline stays fixed but the shoulderline is lowered.
 The restrained hustle effect con- pines with softly fitted tops and straight skirts. Redingotes vie with swaggers for favor, but the latter is less full and this fullness is con- fined to the sides.
 Sophisticated evening gowns are built on sheath lines; fullness is in- troduced in hip-sashed drapery Both evening, afternoon and cock tail gowns displayed the richest media of colors as well as black. This designer likes to contrast light colored jackets with gathered pep lumS over slim black skirts. One pale blue gown showed a deep band of black above the hemline. Dra- matic touches are short-sleeved brief boleros and pillow muffs of pink ermine or aStrakhan.
 Balenciaga'S chief decorative medium is jet cabechon bead en- broidery, used unsparingly on dark and light backgrounds of satin, crepe and velvet.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. I1-Judging by the nine or ten British-made films exhibited here during the past year, Hollywood has a battle royal on it's hands if it hopes to maintain its pre-war control of the worlds movie markets The diSconcerting fact seems to be that the once despised English competitors have suddenly gone into high gear in the race for quality entertainment while their American counterparts are still at a virtual standstill.
 Not only is the acting, directing and writing in the top-bracket British productions which I've seen recently far and away better than HollyWood's average, but the gentle men across the sea, who used to be lamentably lax in their attention to backgrounds, sets and other pro duction values" are now exceeding our best efforts. Take a gander at Caesar and Cleopatra" when it plays your theatre, and you'll real ize what I mean.
 The biggest point of difference between the postwar English pie lures and those that are being ground out by Hollywood seems to me to lie in their respective pro- ducer's estimation of audience in- telligence. Our local tycoons still labor under the conviction that the average fan is person of sub-nor- nal mentality. They're still giving him cops-and d-robber stories and sugar-coated boy-meets-girl non sense no more intelligent than their offerings of two decades ago. The British, on the other hand, seem to be convinced that there are enough adults in the world to make the production of adult pictures profitable. Judging from the box office records being compiled right here by their better pictures. they're 100 percent correct.
 THE HOLLYWOOD PARADE: Spencer Tracy, hobby-horseman. MT. Tracy, who averages approxi- mately one new hobby per annum, has now taken up landscape paint Ing.

inimitable creative genius in in- tricate draping and unusual color combinations.
 Short skirts are usually cut on the bias with fullness gathered into godets of soft folds. Bodices are underlined, hips rounded and waists stressed with narrow self belts.
 Sleeves, yokes and collars make important contributions to the sil- houette. Sleeves suggest large sized Chinese lanterns, umbrellas and Christmas crackers. Yokes follow a rounded but dropped shoulder line. Stand-up collars, berthas and double capelet effects are usually combinations of yokes.
 The monastic influence shows in cowl hoods for dresses as well as coats and capes. Two spectacular capes for resort wear were shown in sheer white wool jersey-worn with madonna blue redingote flared skirts-and blotter pink duvetyne, which topped sheer white jersey dress.
 Afternoon dresses featuring com binations of orchid-and-mauve and black velvet -andvertigris typity this designers flare for dramatic effects. So do details on her evening gowns, such as the tiny latern sleeves of one black velvet which are embroidered with a gold flligree design repeated on the hem of the flowing skirt.
 Schiaparelli ColOrful
 The Schiaparelli collection, ap- bearing in a blaze of color, featured evening gowns evocative of gala peacetime uniforms or church vest ments. An entirely renewed sil- ouette features modernized bus tie borrowed from fashions 1880's, high face-framing neckline, a lowered waistline unpadded should CTS and hemlines about 13 inches from the ground.
 Scotch tweeds in checked and striped jackets, contrasting with corduroy skirts which help to eke out the Woolen shortage, make many suits. Blouses and scarfs, used to complete afternoon ensem- bles. are of smooth Weaves in black, navy and golden tan Jack cts are shorter and skirts reach calf tops. Pockets are ever-preSent-at sides, back and front Specially de- signed. bulky, fur-lined air travel coats and capes feature waterproof pockets for toilet requisites, includ- ing pajamas and slippers.
 Pending better days fur trim mings feature cat, panther, rabbit, pOssum, skunk and racoon. These peltS are also seen on hats, includ- ing busbys, which are worn of the forehead, and bonnets. New note is the fuzzy topper of velvet lace, worn with suits.
 Slim afternoon gowns StreSSing the hustle line become luxurious cocktail ensembles when they take on jackets with lavishly embroi- dered peplums, collars and fronts Hens banded with contrasting color or picked up with embroidery are new focal points of decoration. For nal wear makes use of a variety of rich, weighted fabrics, brocaded, barred, striped or starred with pin points or scattered velvet blossoms. Two-colored velvet striped satin also makes rich-looking evening gowns. Colors are golden tones, browns, reds, purples, mauves, grays, greens and black.
