old daughter of Leatrice Joy
and the late John Gilbert, was
making a film test, there was

sewed on her costume, and camera-
men who had been devoted to her
father begged for the chance to
photograph her. 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.

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.”

The daffiest picture of the week

couldn't find better hot-weather en-
tertainment anywhere. Jack Oakie

by Ann Sothern, but it is the story
that really deserves loud cheers. 1

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. If you
eard Ann spouting Shakespeare on
that best of all summer programs,
Charlie McCarthy aided and abetted
by Edgar Bergen, you know that she
has a sense of comedy that should
put her up in the front ranks of
high comedy with Claudette Colbert

When Sonja Henie decided to go
to Norway for a vacation a big fare-
well luncheon was
planned for her by
Tyrone Power. 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.

can get this lovely material in pas-

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

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.
Some there are who prefer stat-
uesque slenderizing lines rather

SHIRRED JACKET
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
As if the new sheer woolens for
fall were not attractive enough in
themselves designers are making
them even more s0 in the clever
way they are manipulating them
via elaborate shirrings, tuckings,
stitchings, bandings and other in-
triguing workings. Sheerest navy
wool makes this graceful costume.
Its full cut jacket is fascinatingly
shirred and banded. The frock itself,
which is a slim one-piece, is also
beautified with shirred bodice and
slenderly fashioned skirt.

It is not only that delightsome
lingerie materials are favored for

the way through the season is to

fad of the moment is to wear with
them the frilliest fluttery blouses

For these handmade blouses sheer-

batiste or filmy handkerchief linen
are first in favor. Popular too and
heartily to be recommended are the
attractive allover embroidered or-
and pretty for the making of the
blouse to be worn with one's jack-

all means have a sprightly frill
fashioned after the manner of the

as is this blouse, makes the effect
all the more daintily feminine and

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.

IME is so short. so swift in pass-
ing, we should never be at loss
for how ‘o use it. The question
should not be “How can ] kill this

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-

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. It is an example worth
membering the next time you
wondering "how to kill time.”
