picture to profit by censorship.
And anyone who saw the play
of the same name on which
the picture was based is likely
to suspect that the movie
moguls who were responsible for
the film rather hoped that a little
censorship, though a dangerous
thing, might result in plenty of free
publicity.

obligingly lifted the ban, and the
public rushed to the theater where
the picture was finally shown, eager
to see what all the fuss was about.
In fact, so much interest was
stirred up in this darling daughter
that the theatrical producer who
produced the original play is said
to be considering reviving it.

Jacket costumes are having their
big moment this spring. According
to reports more jacket suits are sell-
ing than any other type. The jacket
suit presents a particularly interest-
ing theme in that it invites not only
intriguing color schemes but also it
affords opportunity for contrasting
materials, features which designers
are playing up most dramatically.

an individuality all its own in that

Lingerie Blouse
All signs point to one of the big-
gest, best and most exciting blouse
seasons that has ever gone on rec-
ord. Which of course is the same
as telling you that suits are ““tops’’
this spring and to meet the demands
of a suit nothing less than a well-
stocked wardrobe of blouses will
suffice.
The most important message |
about the exciting blouse furore that |
is now going on is the revival of the |
exquisitely sheer lingerie type which
is that naive and innocent and young |
looking it registers on the style pro- |

as baby blouse and it is just that—a |
