ANT to see what kind of
role Clark Gable drew in
his early days of making pic-
tures? Then you'll have to go
to ‘Painted Desert,” recently
made by RKO-Radio with
George O'Brien, originally
filmed by RKO-Pathe in 1930.
Lee Shumway plays the villain
originally played by Gable.
By way of delving into the past
again—all the still existing sets that

Mary Pickford and Douglas Fair-
banks were demolished the other
day. Some of them were nearly 20
years old. They'll make room for a

duction, ‘“The Last Frontier.”

Pity Carole Lombard. When her
pal, Alice Marble, our No. 1 woman
tennis player, was winning the
Eastern Grass Courts championship
at Rye, N. Y., Carole had to de-
pend on daily telegrams to inform
her of her friend's progress, be-
cause the matches weren't broad-
cast. Luckily for her the last one
was played on Sunday—the strain
of trying to work while it was going
on would have been terrific!
The latest fashion news is to the
effect that soon the girls will be
wearing adaptations of the styles of
1904—the reason being that Claud-
ette Colbert will soon be seen in
“Zaza,” and that the clothes she
wears in the picture are so fetching
that everybody's going to want
clothes like hers.
| Felix Knight, the young tenor
who's being heard more and more
often on the air, is going to keep
right on until autumn with his na-
tion-wide program that is heard Fri-
days from 6:00 to 6:15, EDST, over
NBC's red network. One of the
things he gets excited about, be-
tween broadcasts, is the number of
young people whose voices are be-
ing ruined because they're going to
teachers who aren't really good.
Says he knows any number of boys
and girls in California, where he
used to live, who would be suc-
cesses if only they were properly
taught.
But he can’t tell them how to go
about finding really good teachers—
says that he just happened to be
lucky; that he heard some people
sing who sang the way he wanted
to, and hunted up their teacher.
If you happen to be in New York
and want to see some of your fa-
vorite radio stars when they're off
duty, the place for you to go is the
drugstore in the building where the
NBC studios are located. Visiting
movie folks and stage stars haunt
the restaurants, but for some reason
the radio stars turn like homing pig-
eons to that drug store,

Did you happen to be listening to
the radio while the music from
“Carefree,” the
the new Rogers-
Astaire picture,
was broadcast
with Irving Ber-
lin, its author, in
the studio? It's
nice music, and
apparently it's
also a nice pic-
ture—but still the
rumors grow and
grow, to the ef-
fect that Astaire
wants a new
dancing partner,
and Ginger wants a new leading man.

Back to college in a knit bolero
frock such as the stunning model
to the right in the group illustrated
will cause one's sorority sisters to
voice a chorus of oh's and ah’'s of
admiration. ' It’s worth the experi-
ment, just see if it isn't! A bumpy
crochet cotton lends itself beauti-
fully to this knit design because of
its resiliency and smart rough sur-
face effect. Boleros come in so
‘handy’ and you can wear this one
separately with other frocks if you
wish. You'll like the flattery of the
figure-molding dress that, together
with the bolero, forms as stylish a
costume as ever might be.
With fringes all the rage this year
you will be right on yo ur toes come
autumn if you wear a trim sports
outfit as shown centered in the trio.
It is knit of a nubby crochet cotton
and what endless wear one does get
out of these cotton crochets! Wash
them and wash them and it never
fazes their good looks. Then, too,
being handknit, they have style and
distinction. t is not only that the
fringe that finishes the edges is def-
initely fashion correct but it gives
opportunities for interesting color
combinations. The jacket fits snug
around the waistline to give a neat
line, which is a highly important
styling itemm—that of the fitted de-
fined waistline.
Wouldn't any school girl, business
woman, debutante, clubwoman-—
wouldn't any member of the fair
sex that goes motoring, or treks
about town love a handknit coat as
here pictured! It surely is an inspira-
tion to start knitting needles click-
ing. It is knit of a nubby crochet
cotton in a striking plaid patterning
with immense patch pockets of the
darker color. They wil n tell you at
any fancywork where
you get the yarn as "to effective
color combinations. You can make
this colorful coat up very quickly
if you get at it with a will. Grand
to wear to the early autumn games!
Here are a few general items in
regard to latest knitting trends. The
tendency this season is to knit en-
tire suits or ensembles, the ex-
quisite simplicity of which achieves
a smart tailored look. Interesting
skirts are ribbed around to simu-
late pleats. Wear gold jewe ry with
your new black knit frock. Swes
jackets are ‘‘dolled up”
buttons of hand-wrought t
ted combined with woven fabric is
very popular, as for instance a cloth
jacket with knitted Plaid
skirt with bright sweater is popular

Sweater and Skirt
OR
Little fashion-correct “Missy” in
this picture is dressed in her new
sweater and skirt outfit ready to
answer first-day-of-school roll call.
It's the smart vogue this season for
little girls to companion a sus-
pender skirt of handsome wool
with a sweater of exact color
match. In this instance the skirt of
fine Arlingcrest wool (comes in in-
teresting colors of Scandinavian
influence such as Viking copper
and Peer Gynt blue, also navy,
green and brown) has a novel sus-
pender fashioning that widens as
it buttons to the skirt belt.
Muffs Match Hats
In Latest Trend
Muffs that match hats are among
the latest fads to tempt women seek-
ing the unusual in costume accents.
Many different decorative fabrics
such as matelasse crepe, embroid-
ered wool and velvets are being
used for these as are the numerous
fur fabrics. The hats are of the
turban type, always high and often
draped. The muffs are variously
shaped, depending upon the fabric.
Fur materials, for example, are cut
very simple, while the decorative
materials are draped, twisted and
bow-trimmed.

LOOKING INTO FUTURE
A farmer,

azine, wrote:
| “Dear Sir—I got your letter about
what I owe you. Now be pachent,
1 ain't forgot you. Please wait.
When 1 have the money, | pay you.
If this was Judgment day, and you
was no more prepared to meet
your Maker than I am to meet your
account, you sure would have to go
to Hades. Trusting you will agree
to do this, I am, yours truly.”
The Other Way Around
“Do you think,”” asked the billion
aire, ‘‘that some of our recently
enriched colleges are turning out
successful men?”
“That isn’t the question,” an-
swered the abrupt person. “What
this generation is waiting to see is
whether some of our recently en-
riched men are turning out success-
ful colleges.”

SEEDS
California's eucalyptus trees
grew from a handful of
Australian seeds. Seeds of
kindness will similarly enrich
our personal lives.

Just a handful of seeds! Small
thing to bother with,
reckon with in the long run. ,For
this handful of seeds gave America
all the glory of our eucalyptus, love-

Seeds must have time to grow.
And there is never any way to know
ahead which seeds will pay to plant,
which will grow and make our gar-
dens of life its loveliest. We have

everything else. These special seeds

doze and pass the time but who was
willing instead to be friendly and

Adventure in Companionship
Queer things—seeds! Sometimes
we don’t recognize them. Take that
luncheon at Washington's Mayflow-
er hotel one spring Saturday. There
were 300 guests. The First Lady
was to tell us her ideal of women
in politics. At my right was a
friend. The seat at the left was
vacant. No sign of a seed. Then a
pleasant voice asked permission to
sit beside me. There was the seed
unseen before, already sprouting.
The days and weeks that followed
saw it grow through comfortable
companionship and congenial fel-
lowship, becoming a real adventure
along the alluring lanes of friend-
ship.

That sounds old-fashioned but is as
small that often we fail to see or
to believe how they can be impor-

spirits are negative, we sometimes
cast these seeds away, losing what
might become very precious to us.
Not every handful of seeds produces

train acquaintance pays the score
with a gleaming diamond. That
would put the whole business on too
