Modern Screen (Dec 1937 - Nov 1938)

WARDROBE WEAPONS (Continued from page 48) MODERN SCREEN NEW-TYPE ICE DEODORANT is greaseless, actually cooling and checks perspiration 1 to 3 days shoulder straps of one bouffant gown, and glittering vines of the same leaves stripe the enormously full tulle skirt. A long sleeved lame has yards of skirt, and dark fur outlines the deep dropped shoulder bodice. Her last gown is slimly fitted to well below the hips. Bunchy ruching finishes the long basque and then the skirt springs out into yards and yards of stiffened net. A rhinestone clip holds a fly away sheer scarf at the base of the throat. That bunchy ruching below the hips is all right for Miss Simon but fatal to anyone who does her shopping any size above the Junior Miss Department. Comedienne Joan Davis, usually a sartorial step-child, gets to dress up once, in her vain pursuit of gentlemen discarded by the popular heroine. The circular skirt is built up to a high waistline effect, and has a gathered bosom topped with a paillette embroidered bolero. The bolero, far from being on the way out, is just getting comfortably established in smart wardrobes. The "little jacket" is too useful and too universally becoming not to have a faithful following for some time to come. GINGER ROGERS is a "Vivacious Lady" with lots of snappy clothes. As a night club singer she wears a white gown featuring the poured-in silhouette to just above the knee where it proceeds to flare out in pailletted rhumba ruffles. A wide net scarf, with no noticeable anchorage, floats gracefully across the top. Over this, she dons a finger length jacket, fitted through the waist and flaring at the bottom. For daytime. Ginger Rogers wears two suits that would fit perfectly into any early fall wardrobe. The first, made of light weight burgandy tweed, is flecked with the same cool blue that is inset in the broad shouldered jacket. Its sleeves and back are cut on the bias. With this suit Ginger wears a black sailor with a coarse veil. A three-piece suit worn by Ginger in the same picture has a fitted jacket and Chesterfield coat deftly striped in light gray, Oxford gray, and a dash of bright red. Its slightly flared skirt is Oxford gray, as is the draped blouse caught high at the throat with a bright clip. One of Ginger Rogers' most effective gowns is worn for a hair-pulling, eye-gouging battle with brunette Frances Mercer. This is fashioned of black net, backless and very nearly frontless, a huge rhinestone buckle holding a narrow belt about the slim waist. That modern version of the mantilla — a shower of net caught at the top of her blonde curls— makes a graceful and becoming headdress. The post war tale of "Three Comrades" is too concerned with serious matters to stress clothes, but Margaret Sullavan is allowed one glamour gown. It is carefully designed to fit the period without looking dated. Made of silver lame, it has a shirred bodice, short puffed sleeves, and the skirt falls in heavy folds. A circular cut, floor length cape, also of lame, accompanies the gown. Hollywood is for the most part an excellent fashion guide, though there are occasional slight exceptions to this rule. For example, almost every hat_ you see in pictures is off the face. Tlnis doesn't mean that "no one" is wearing dipping brims. Camera men moan loudly about the difficulty of getting angle shots when they have a wide shadow-casting hat brim to contend with. That's why you rarely see that type of chapeau in pictures of your flicker favorites.
