This one, No. 39, compares very favorably with its predecessors. * * * "See It In Color Reexolor 1 reel An interesting display of fashions direct from Paris, in colors that, if anything, enhance the attractiveness of the garments, cloaks, fur-pieces and other attire worn by the pretty models. Women, undoubtedly, will find this interesting.
