Studio Desiqners Bid for General Interest
BY EIeni

HOILYWOOD.-MovieS are once
again making a bid for feminine
favor by capitalizing on women's
keen interest in fashion.
A great many women 60 to the
movies to see pretty clothes,
claims Edith Head, head designer
for Paramount Studios since 1898.
Women want to associate them
selves with glamour, excitement
and creeping back very surely into
the movies is the showing of
fashions as an integral part of the
film plot.
There was time in studio de-
signing when a designer could do
what he or she wanted to. You
could throw away ermine. If it
was chinchilla the star wanted to
trim her gown or coat with. But
THAT was before BUDGET started
to spell FINS to the lavish fash
ions. one came to identify with
Hollywood.
The good old days when Clara
Bow played a whole tennis tour
nament in high heeled shoes be-
cause her legs looked better that
way. or when Pola Negri came out
of tub and into white ermine
bath robe-are gone forever. But
the grim realism" of the past
flew years wasn't the answer,
either. American women began to
lose track of the Cinderella out
look that they had for a long
time associated with the movies.
Things got a little too grim,
claims Edith Head.
According to her there are two
completely different armed camps
in Hollywood studio designing.
One consists of the creative end
(hers) and the other the manu-
featuring end which includes bud
get. operation and final ok. of
design.
No Budget, PIeose!
I'D like to do Just one picture
in which a budget wouldn't be dis
cussed." she says. "One in which
l would stage the greatest fashion
show ever seen featuring dumb
models, no director telling me that
the dress makes too much noise
because of the rustling taffeta, no
star possessing temperament as
to which lines do the best for her
figure. and a picture in which
I would pretend was a great
couturier. presenting a magnifi-
cent collection of clothes to the
biggest audience in the world"
is Edith Heads it'll never hap
pen" dream.
Miss Head teaches a class in
Motion Picture Costume Design
at UCLA, in the Theater Arts De-
partment.
She stresses the fact that every
picture is complete collection for
the individual designer. She
wishes people wouldn't look at all
picture fashions with a jaundiced
eye. I'VE do some of our worst
clothes on purpose" she informed
us. These are the clothes that .
make me shudder, but they are .
to the plot of the film" )" /
she adds. +
Edith Head is native Cali /
fornian. one OF the few studio
designers who has remained in
picture work without branching
out on her own, such as her men
tor at Paramount, Howard Greer,
or the admirable Adrian, or Irene.
I've grown up in this business
and I'd be lost doing anything
else" she says. She also goes on
to say that though her depart
ment includes a staff of three.

Signing 6: Japanese Treaty Is
 Expected Saturday

SAN FRANCISCO P - The three-poWer Communist bloc to- day got its last sceduled chance to stall or discredit the Japanese peace conference.
 Actually, it wasn't much of a chance. There was general speculation that the delegates of Russia, Poland and CZecho- slovakia would stage walkout after Poland's Stefan WierbloW- ski speaks his peace late today.
 Barring last minute delays, the treaty will be signed tomor- row by probably 48 nations-b but not by the Reds. It seemed doubt full they will even make an ap- pearance at the ceremony.
 Indonesia decided reluctantly at the eleventh hour today to sign. This made the final lineup 48 countries for the treaty and only Russia's three-nation bloc against.
 Schuman also proposed treaty of mutual assistance bind ing all countries concerned by the remaining threats in the Far East.
 Speaking in Cleveland, Gen. Douglas Macarthur said the treaty while far from flawless, embodies much of human justice and enlightenment" The former occupation commander in Japan was not invited to the confer ence, but his work in preparing Japan for the treaty has been widely acknowledged.
 US. Ambassador John Foster Dulles said in a radio interview: T assume that Russia will walk cat of the conference.
 T doubt that they will sign the treaty, and they won't want to be spectators to the signing '
