Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

Modern Screen der puff" silhouette. It's made up of yards and yards of jersey trimmed with balls of white yarn. With this, of course, she wears a white jersey bathing suit. A T Malibu, beach pajamas still hold sway for all hours, but they're of an altogether different mode than those worn last summer. When Carole was invited to the beach home of a famous writer recently she appeared in delightful beige satin pajamas patterned in the Russian style. (They're pictured on page 64.) The blouse, with its small stand-up collar and buttoned closing, was loosely tied with a sash. The flowing sleeves and wide trousers found a complement in the positively enormous hat. This hat was a beige straw that sported a brown bow in back to give it character. A highly decorative costume. Ideal for Malibu and it established a new vogue there. Beige satin, incidentally, is stressed in Carole's wardrobe. Her "best" negligee is fashioned of it, and trimmed all the way around with sable. Her everyday negligees and house pajamas are of washable crepe in the pastel shades she loves. "It's a good idea," announced Carole, "to save your fine frocks by having house garments of some kind to slip into. They're inexpensive — easy to put together— and they certainly keep the dry cleaning bills from climbing up." She's a practical person. Most well dressed women are. She plays the part of a model in this picture she's just finishing — "Sinners in the Sun." And she wears one hundred and fifty different costumes in it. "The only time I ever tired of clothes was when I was being fitted for all of them !" she confessed. Carole has a black and white dinner gown that's a gem. Literally. The waist is a solid mass of pearls. The sleeves are slightly puffed above the elbows and then are tight to where they extend over the wrist. Long ties of the beaded material fall from the surplice closing. The black crepe skirt is floor length and matched by the black slippers. A flawless gown that enhances the Lombard beauty. (Look at the picture of it on page 63.) But if your mind is occupied with weddings and graduations and such things, here's an idea for a frock that is synonymous with June: White organdie embroidered in silver ! Now if that doesn't make you think of moonlight and roses, my dears, nothing will ! A crushed silver girdle indicates the high waistline and a diminutive peplum, four inches wide, is edged with the silver. The dress is worn over a slip of dull crepe and white crepe sandals complete it. Silver sandals would have given it a garish aspect — made it seem overdone. It's by being attentive to such little things as this that one arrives at chic. As Carole says — you've got to care. That's the important thing. Stars' Weirdest Stories (Continued from page 68) appearance of one in a trance. "They are for escape, those steps," she said. "Always the tapestry has covered them. They lead to a long, dark tunnel . . . and it leads out under the gardens . . ." This time she did not ask for confirmation. She knew, with a sure instinct, that she was right. She did not even hear the guide's awed affirmation. Pola herself has no doubt that in a previous incarnation she lived at Versailles. "However," she says, "I only expect those who have visited a new place or done a new thing to experience a strange feeling of familiarity; those who have said to themselves T have been here ... I have done this before,' to believe me. "Six months after my visit to Versailles, curiously enough, I was given the role of DuBarry in 'Passion.' It was this picture which brought me world-wide fame. I am not surprised that it did. The months during which I played DuBarry were the happiest in my entire life. I went about always in a daze. "Why the world is so loathe to accept the theory of reincarnation I cannot understand. Nature does not waste our bodies. Eventually they go back into the earth to enrich it. Why, then, persist in supposing she wastes the most valuable thing about us, our souls, our spirits — whatever you choose to call them !" A YEAR or more ago a sister of x Barbara Stanwyck's who recently had died appeared to Barbara in a "dream." "I'm hopelessly lonely," she told her, "and I want my little boy." "But it wouldn't be right for you to take Junior away," Barbara protested. "It wouldn't be fair . . . Why he's hardly had any life at all." "That's true," her sister admitted, "but there's no one here I know ... no one ... I don't think I can go on without someone who is close to me." Up until this time Barbara never had talked much about spiritualism, or thought much about it, in fact. But this visit from her sister who had passed on was so distressing, so vivid, and so real that she wrote another sister in New York City telling her all about it. This letter, however, never reached her sister. The night before it arrived, returning from the theater in a taxi, Barbara's sister complained that she ColorShine is only 10^ a bottle— why pay more?
