For a long time the studio has owned film rights to “National Velvet,” but couldn’t find a girl who was both young and ap- pealing enough to play the heroine. Everyone hopes that little Leatrice will be chosen. meen Yh ums Hot weather in Hollywood so in- tense that the closed-in sets of sound studios are like fur- naces seems to have a calming effect on temperament and nerves. Ginger Rog- ers and Katherine Hepburn sit togeth- er at the edge of the “Stage Door’ set at RKO studio, calmly sipping tea and dis- cussing the day's news. At Twentieth Century - Fox, Vir- ginia Bruce and Loretta Young swap theories on child-raising. At Colum- bia, the staff is daily more amazed to find Grace Moore agreeing whole- heartedly with every suggestion the director makes. Incidentally, John Ford has an effective way of squelching actors who want to play scenes their way instead of taking his direction. If an actor grows ar- gumentative, he lets him go ahead and play the scene his way. Then ke rips the film out of the camera, hands it to the stubborn thespian and says, ‘“You can have it. No one else would want to see it.” an Ginger Rogers The daffiest picture of the week is REKO's “Super Sleuth.” You couldn't find better hot-weather en- tertainment anywhere. Jack Oakie provides the laughs, expertly aided by Ann Sothern, but it is the story that really deserves loud cheers. 1 don’t want to spoil it for you Wy telling too much, but you wen't mind knowing that it is the story of a movie star who specializes in de- tective roles. aan Ann Sothern’s career, in the dol- drums lately because of second- rate pictures, has suddenly picked up and no one is happier than her close friend, Joan Bennett.

That seemed like a charming idea when it was planned and the invitations sent out, but in the mean- time Sonja and Ty- rone had a squabble and weren't speak- ing. They carefully selected tables at opposite ends of the Sonja Heine studio lunchroom and avoided speaking to each other. Hollywood has often giggled over parties where none of the guests were interested in meeting the guest of honor, but this was the first time on record when the host and the guest of honor weren't speaking. His attentions to Janet Gaynor and Lor- etta Young are supposed to have caused it.

You can get this lovely material in pas- tels or white and it makes up beau- tifully, and best of all it costs such a trifle compared with luxury-type weaves, while it “locks a million." The charming gown on the seated figure is made of white shadow print organdie and we venture to say when this gown dances hither and thither on the ballroom floor or under the stars at the country club it will be voted among the prettiest. The fact that it is picturesquely and fashionably full- skirted makes it all the more en- chanting. The corsage of flowers in realistic coloring is in gay contrast thus adding another beguiling note.

Sleek satins are the fabrics which show off the new straight sleeves so the shiny fabrics are the first to show the changes of fashion. Look for them not only of peren- nial black but flaunting such colors as bright blue and purple. Dressmaker Details That Class as Important News The continued importance of em- broidery is noted. Gold embroi- dery on black is much employed; also fanciful effects on the new silk frocks. Much favor is ex- pressed for appliqued felt motifs on black silk crepe day dresses. Dressmakers are making use of any amount of shirring and tuck- ing and they delight in scalloped and sawtooth hemlines, thus trim- ming the dark silk sheers and crepes effectively. The skirts of the newest silk print frocks are frequently pleated or vertically tucked all around. Lace-Trimmed Lingerie Black lace as a trimming on lin- gerie is a prominent note in the summer season's offerings. It is contrasted with pastel shades, par- ticularly Llces, greens and yellows, and sometimes worn with all-black. ‘Way Back When By JEANNE MOTOR EXECUTIVE NAS A DAY LABORER ILLIAM 8S.

The question should not be “How can ] kill this evening?” but rather “Do 1 need to take this valuable time for fun, or is there something imporiant | can do with it*"” Consider the life of Henry Ford. He was born on a farm near Dear- born, Mich., in 1863. Th? oldest of five children, Henry helped his fa- ther with the plowing, shucked corn, mowed hay, cut grain, dug pota- toes, and milked cows. Time nev: er hung heavily on his hands. Me- chanically inclined, he rigged up a small machine shop on the farm and repaired watches at night for the village jeweler. After finishing the local public schools, the farmer boy left for the city to seek his for- tune In Detroit, he obtaine. a job I, ef ‘ . gM of fortune he received was $2.50 per week. When he was twenty-four he returned to the farm and ran a sawmill, experimenting in his spare time with a steam car. There was never a question in his mind about what to do with time. His father was not in sympathy with Henry Ford's experiments, so he again wen' to Detroit, and worked for a pover and light com- pany a: an engineer on the night shift. During the seven years that he was there he became general manager; and night after night, at home, he worked far into the morn- ing hours in developing a gasoline motor car. Success came from his experiments at last, and in order to popularize the new vehicle, Hen- ry Ford built racing cars and drove them himself in race after race. You know where Henry Ford stands today. His life is the story of time well used.
