Motion Picture (Aug 1940-Jan 1941)

Darlin' — "D ED, white and blue for Fall clothes, particularly -**■ play-clothes. That's the latest news right out of Hollywood . . . Right now, the movie capital is up to its neck in war relief and other patriotic activities, and true to its tradition of going all the way, the gals have adapted the colors of the flag and other military trends for their wardrobe . . . When I arrived at Connie Moore's tennis party the other afternoon, I was so dazzled by these colors that I thought _ in my usually foggy manner I had wandered into the wrong place and it was Fourth of July or something . . . After I pulled myself together and started looking around, I got some really_ swell, adaptable ideas that you can use . . . The simplest use of red, white and blue was in the belt Linda Hayes wore with her white tennis dress. . . . Linda had bought three inch-wide lengths of grosgrain ribbon — one of each of the colors — and tied them around her waist . . . That's one you can copy with the help of your dime-store ribbon counter . . . While you're about it, why not get a variety of colored ribbons so you can work up your own color combinations when you get tired of being patriotic? . . . Connie herself looked like an animated flag in her tricky slack suit . . . The slacks of white sharkskin were worn with a hand-crocheted sweater of red and white stripes . . . That is, the body of the sweater and the left sleeve were of the stripes, and — you've guessed i+ — the right sleeve was blue with white stars 1 \X7ENDY BARRIE has a new cotton suit which "'features a huge shoulder-to-shoulder yoke of white pique on a box-type jacket of biege, brownand-orange-checked seersucker . . . The autumn colors of the check make the cotton suit — which was a favorite during the summer — carry right through the warmer Fall days ... In snooping around at the nite spots this month I found that most of the gals were going for ultra-feminine clothes . . . No matter how many tricks and modesof-the-_moment the Hollywood females go for in their more informal moments, they know the best way to build up that old romantic feeling after dark is to dress to please the boy friend . . . And you know yourself what a push-over most men are for the gal who wears soft, feminine fabrics ... At least Dorothy Lamour was doing all right for herself the other night when I saw her dancing in a dream of a white evening gown . . . The dress featured a bodice and deep peplum of white Alencon lace with a gold thread running through it . . . The skirt was layers and layers of sheer white tulle over white taffeta. . . Dottie wore gold pumps and carried a gold kid evening^ bag and her only jewelry was a gold bracelet which featured a gold and diamond water lily. . . . "yOU better dig way down in your closet and pull out those old kid slippers, because Dottie wasn't the only one who was wearing them that night . . . Irene Dunne used gold slippers and long gold kid gloves to accent her gown of taupe chiffon . . . Taupe — that indefinite shade that's neither grey nor tan — is one of the very best colors for Fall in everything from sports clothes to formal gowns . . . Irene's dress was made on the new narrow silhouette lines, achieving fullness by having the skirt draped into the center back seam . . . The plain bodice was held up by narrow shoulder straps of the chiffon and with it she wore a gold necklace with two large leaves of canary diamonds . . . Leave it to Lupe Velez to adapt one of the more hoydenish informal modes to her evening ensemble . . . Remember I told you last month of the beanies or skull caps that all the gals are wearing with their slacks? . . . Well, Lupe got herself a black velvet beanie, clipped rhinestone ornaments of all sizes around the edge and wore it with her black velvet dinner dress ... I thought of that redheaded gal friend of yours, when I saw Jeanette MacDonald that evening . . . Jeanette was wearing a fink chiffon gown, and it looked simply gorgeous with that red hair of hers . . . She told me that, like most gals with flaming hair, she thought she could never wear that color . . . But in her first Technicolor picture they dressed her in a pink gown and since that time it's been one of her favorite colors ... In her next picture, Bittersweet, which is also in Technicolor, she is going to wear a gown of purple and cerise, two other colors that have always been taboo to the redheads. Mile. Chic. (m?
