O GREAT has been the suc-
cess of “A Star Is Born,”
all the Hollywood studios are
busy making pictures concern-
ing the private lives of film
stars. Just copy cats, that’s
what the film producers are.

Divorces don't interfere with busi-
ness judgment in Hollywood. For
instance, when Wil-
liam Wyler was
asked what player
he would like to
have in the leading
role of ‘“‘Having a
Wonderful Time’ he
said that only Mar-
garet Sullavan, his
ex - wife, had the
beauty and acting
skill required for the
role. Up spoke Hen-
ry Fonda, another
ex-husband of Mar-
garet’s, to say that
he would like to play opposite her.
So, just to complete the cycle, they
telephoned her present husband, Le-
land Hayward, who is her manager,
and asked him if she would be free
to make the picture before going
back to New York for stage ene
gagements and he said he would be
happy to arrange it.

turesque period when Jim Fisk was
becoming a big shot in Wall Street,
when business men went around
brandishing buggy whips when they
weren't conniving to get control of
a railroad, or wreck each other's
fortunes.

All over the country box-office
records are being broken by ‘‘Sara-
toga,” the picture on which Jean
Harlow was working at the time of
her tragic death. Her fans would
be happier, I think, to see one of
her old pictures again, a gay, light-
hearted picture like ‘Bombshell’ or
“Reckless,” for in ‘‘Saratoga’ she
is but a pallid shadow of her former
self.

After arguing for weeks about her
salary demands, RKO have at last
signed Ruby Keeler to make two
pictures a year for them. She won't
be in the next Fred Astaire pic-
ture, however, for Joan Fontaine
has that leading role nailed down.
Joan has been working like a
beaver, taking dancing and singing
lessons preparing - for this big
chance. Ruby's first will be “Love
Below Freezing,” the picture which
will bring little Mitzi Green back to
the screen.

A few weeks ago Josephine Hutch-

row she says she won't go back to
the stage until she is old enough to

Freddie Bartholomew's guardian
has lost one round of her battlg to
get M-G-M to pay
him more money.
The studio has taken
him out of the cast
of “Thoroughbreds
Don’t Cry’ and giv-
en the role to Doug-
las Scott who played
in “Wee Willie
Winkie.” As soon
as Freddie Bartholo-
mew started making
big money, his par-
ents, who had left
his care in the en-
tire charge of his
aunt from his infancy, swooped
down on the household and wanted
the privilege of spending his mon-
ey. A court fight followed wherein
his aunt tried to protect him, and
she did win his guardianship.

( NE, two, three!—here they are,
a trio of pretty little crocheted
frocks worn by a trio of pretty little
girls as pictured. And do little folk
of feminine gender love the dresses
that doting mothers and big sisters
crochet for them! Well, just show
this picture to wee daughter or sis-
ter or niece or little girl neighbor
and we wager that their opinion on
the subject will make elders seek
crochet hooks, yarns and books of
instructions instanter, forthwith and
without delay.
These cunning frocks are
posed to be party dresses—that's
the way the designers thereof listed
them on fashion's program, but for
our part charming as any one of
them would be to wear to a party,
we believe your little girl will be
wanting to wear her crochet dress
every day. Why not?
general wear will be found perfectly
practical, workable and demonstra-
ble for it is crocheted of fast dye
nercerized cotton yarn that washes
like new and is so much easier to
launder than a dress that has to be
ironed each time. Serviceable, too
—almost no wear-out to it!
Speaking of smart styling in cro-
have professionals paid so much at-
cent
years. The result speaks for
itself in the three models pictured
ILSeil
cess worn by little Miss Six-Year-
Old (possibly she may be seven):
anyway the dress shown to the left
reaches a new high in swank so far
as children’s fashions are con-
cerned. It is crocheted of mercer
ized cotton, and we leave it to you
to visualize it in the color your little
girl happens to like best. It has
puff sleeves as stylish as can be
and is buttoned all the way down
the front with crocheted buttons a
la smartest mode. It really does
not take long to crochet this dress
and it is delightful pick-up work to
inspire you to “improve each shin-
ing hour.”

NEW SLEEK BLACKS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
To all appearances much is *'go-
ing black before the eyes" of fash-
jon. At any rate there is nothing
in the way of a frock so outstanding
in early fall style showings as sleek
black gowns of either gleaming sat-
in or of slinky, slenderizing, flatter-
ing-to-the-figure jersey which may
be either a pure silk weave or of
synthetic texture. The vogue for
this type of frock is pronounced.
Deft drape effects predominate in
the fashioning of these stylish all-
black gowns somewhat after the
manner pictured. Top them with a
tall draped toque or one as shown.
centered in the foreground, has on
a fluffy-ruffle type of dress with
bows on the shoulders and a ribbon
run through the waistline of the
very full skirt. It is just the sort of
dress that makes an
adorable child lock more so. Why
not make two of ‘em, one for Sun-
day-go-to-meetin’ dress and one for
everyday service?
Party days for a small girl mean
ribbons and lace, cambric tea and
ice cream and cake. What could
be nicer to wear at such festive
times than the lacy dress which the
cunning youngster to the right is
wearing? It is crocheted of deli-
cate mercerized cotton quite to this
miniature queen's taste, you may
rest assured. It will also prove a
boon to mother for it is dependably

NEW FABRIC TRENDS
FOR AUTUMN SEASON
Trends in the silks and rayons
which Paris fabric houses have pre-
pared for the fall costume collec-
tions:
New plain silks have a softer,
more velvety touch, a duller surface
than before.
Rayons of intricate weaving are
dull, pebbled, “crushed,” have fine
matelasse patternings, Ottoman
ribs, plain or fancy, and many nov-
elty surfaces obtained by uneven
yarns.
Serge or twill weaves appear in
delicate silks or rich metals.
Neon lights have inspired a whole
group of lames made with colored
metal yarn, also new changeable,
mosaic, cashmere and jewel effects
using the same colored metal.
Novelty velvets are made with
pile that is completely dull or has
only a medium luster. Also with
printed gold backs or satin backs.
Metals and lames are finely pat-
terned or quite plain, elaborate in
texture and often have small Pais-
ley, Persian, Byzantine, Oriental
and Eighteenth century designs.
Capes Replace Jackets in
Early Ensembles for Fall
First autumn ensembles often re-
place coats or jackets by capes, and
are trimmed with sleek, flat furs.
One such is Martial and Armand’s
three-piece costume of brown wool,
glready ordered by several smart
women. The skirt features front
fullness and is topped by a leopard
gilet which shows beneath a hip-
length circular case of the brown
wool finished with a tiny flat collar
of leopard skin that is knotted un-
der the chin.
Pleats for Autumn
Autumn will be a season to wear
box-pleated numbers with built-up
waistlines, and the newest manner
of raising a waistline is to build the
skirt up at the sides only.
