Continued from page twenty-six or for one that is not well-lighted, there is nothing like yellow. A warm, radiating yellow, with perhaps a touch of budgreen and with brightly checked curtains. Personally, I Love yellow. It's so gay and alive and vibrant. Do you know that, if you have a touch of it in every room, it will make your home a great deal more cheerful? And if you are a city apartment-house dweller, hemmed in by tall buildings, try using warm greens and yellows in your rooms. Those are what your eye misses most among the confusion of gray streets and sidewalks and walls. I don't think there is a question but what we take on the color of our surroundings— in our reactions, at least. For example, if you are nervous and high-strung, moonlight blue will prove more soothing than a sedative. Golden brown, turquoise, rose madder, fawn, orange, royal blue and emerald green are known as the "tonic" shades. They will positively pep you up! To Me, The principal thing in decorating a home is to have things about you that you love, that have some association with memories. That is what a house lacks when it is left entirely to interior decorators. It isn't a real part of you. But when you have this feeling of nearness and dearness in a place, with a background of colors that do things for you, then you have a real home! It was the Emperor Jones who crystallized my thoughts on color, really. He is apt to do that to anyone! Because, you see, he is Robert Edmond Jones, the King of Color! If you saw ha Cucaracha, you know why he is called that. For years he has been an outstanding genius of the theatre and now he is about to sweep all Hollywood into a complete color cycle. "We don't live in a black and white world," he told me. "Everything around us is colored. We expect it. Why shouldn't we expect it of the screen?" Why shouldn't we, indeed? But I didn't realize the full significance of what he said until that night in the projection room when we went to look at the first day's rushes of Becky Sharp. The colored film was run off first. Then the usual black and white one. It gave me the most terrific "let-down" feeling — as if we had been living in a real scene, only to have it turn into just a print, after all! This new color process has been developed to that extent. It is as different from the old one as today's talking pictures are from the early attempts. And It Is Doing an astounding thing to . the personalities of the screen characters. They are being suggested by colors, as well as by words and actions. For instance, in Becky Sharp, Frances Dee plays Amelia. The role is that of an innocent, charming and rather neutral person. So Mr. Jones has designed all her costumes in soft, pale shades — with pink predominating. Becky, of course, is exactly opposite in type. She is daring, adventurous, highspirited . . . And Mr. Jones tells you what she is before she speaks a word. He has given her gowns of dashing greens that suggest the hunt, gowns of ivory gauze spangled with gold stars and worn with sparkling jet. When she wears white, it is with bold pipings of brilliant red. And it is fun portraying her, seeing how these colors bring her out. For colors can work magic in any woman. Used correctly, they can make her twice as interesting. Yes, and twice as lovely! Take the Junoesque type — tall, stately, fascinating. If she carries herself like a Juno, with pride in her height, and wears the regal, dark shades that are her special forte — why, she's supreme! But when she slumps in an effort to appear shorter and dresses in pale, frivolous colors, she goes zoom! And nine-tenths of her attractiveness disappears . . . Brightly Contrasting and cheerful colors are for the vivacious types. As someone put it: "They're a riot in red, they glow in yellow, they shine in orange — and they flame up in black and white!" But naturally, there are a number of things to be considered in each individual case. You might find a small, vivacious brunette who read Proust. You certainly couldn't dress her as you would a lively blonde with a flair for the circus! Mr. Jones sums it up neatly. He says, "If a color becomes your face, it's good; if it high-lights your personality, it's better!" But it should never dominate your personality . . . You see a shy, sensitive little person parading around in brazen scarlet. She is merely the background for her outfit, when it should be the background for her. This unassuming type has a charm all her own. In medium or orchidblues, in sunny tans and creams and rose, she radiates friendliness. Dark colors are not advisable. And navies and deep magenta are too unresponsive for her. Nothing in the world brings out the true emotional type like Oriental effects abounding in warm reds and yellows and rich blacks. Flat, one-toned dresses should be avoided. Of course, if you are the strong, capable sort of person, you need not be afraid to wear strong, bright colors. They won't subdue you. They will do just the opposite and emphasize your individuality. I Don't Suppose that a more glorious redhead than Billie Burke ever existed. And, strangely enough, one of the colors that seem to do most for her is raspberry red. It was the Emperor Jones who pointed that out. "I never have understood why red-headed women neglect such shades as a rule," he remarked. "I've always wanted to see them in orange and yellow, too. But no, they wear pink!" I have often wondered why blondes use it so much, too. Oh, I admit I am always buying those dusty-pink evening dresses — and never wearing them! To be frank, I think blondes have to be very careful not to go "blah" in fight colors. A bit of dark color near the face, either at the neck or trimming a hat, supplies just the right note of contrast — and interest. . . . One of the most exciting things a brunette can do is to stress the color in her cheeks, simply by wearing a touch of the same color or a neighboring color. It not only makes her more vivid; it adds fire to her eyes! To enjoy life thoroughly, to get the most out of your surroundings and wardrobe, know your colors . . . HOLLYWOOD
