You might expect Jean io go ruffly when it comes to evening clothes, mightn't you? Well, she doesn't. Because she knows that simpler lines are not. nearly as tiring. So she chooses for an evening gown a smoky brown crepe, with soft drapery at the top. One brown and gold metal rose and one green and silver one are the only decoration. The drapery wanders around back and ends up in a graceful train, as you can see above.
BY VIRGINIA T. LANE
IT came out, a perfect thrill of an idea, right on the busiest corner of Wilshire Boulevard ! And it came from Hollywood's newest, cutest, youngest star, Jean Parker. This idea about being glamorous though practical.
"A girl doesn't have to throw all practical considerations to the winds to be glamorous. She doesn't have to be in the movies to 'star' in her clothes. But in a way, learning how to dress is like developing a screen career. First, there's a 'test.' then one has to learn the 'make-up' and 'lighting effects' for colors, one must learn her 'lines,' and most important of all, one has to put dramatic value into dressing."
Imagine having a choice bit like that tossed at you while you waited for a go signal.
"What do you mean by a" 'test'?" I demanded, ignoring horns, fenders and brushing bumpers in my excitement.
"That, my dear Watson, is something we're about to investigate," Jean said as she led me into that ultra smart, ultra modern shop known as Bullock's Wilshire. Coming through the door was Gloria Swanson. She smiled, stopped to talk for a minute and, to my utter amazement, I realized she was only a fraction taller than Jean. Somehow you always think of Gloria as so stately and regal.
"That is where the 'test' comes in." explained Jean as we whizzed up in the elevator. "Miss Swanson and I are almost the same height. We both have dark hair and blue-gray-green eyes, but can you imagine us wearing the same sort of style? Wouldn't it be funny?
"You see, it isn't only your body you dress, it's your mind too, the kind of person you are inside."
