Movie Classic (Sep 1935-Feb 1936)

do the trick.' Don't make the mistake, though, of shadowing your lids too much. A slight darkening at the eyelash line suffices beautifully. Then step out softly and hope for the best ! • SOMEHOW, no one thinks of the luscious Lombard going into a "small girl" mood. But when she does, brave men weaken. They do with practically every woman. Something about that freshly wholesome schoolgirl-look tugs at the male heart strings, particularly if they're used to thinking of you as a more woman-of-theworld type. Those little Breton sailors make it extremely easy to slip into this mood. So do the short swaggerish coats and round-colored frocks. And the make-up is almost as easy as dreaming about it. You use a very small amount of lipstick — and, if you are blonde like Carole, will do the ingenious thing by applying a pale rose shade of that new liquid rouge that is the consistency of a lotion. Pitt it all over the cheeks with cotton so that it is perfectly blended ; then apply powder. It will make you look distractingly sweet. A toilet water of an outdoorish fragrance like heliotrope or geranium is the thing to use. And arrange your hair with a studied carelessness. What a twist of the comb can do to hair — the change it can make in a girl's appearance — is intriguing. And Walter Westmore is up on all the newest twists. For example, the same haircut that made you seem a pert seventeen under your Breton hat can — when it is more tightly waved, combed and brilliantined — alter you into a 1935 siren ! A dazzling, dangerous siren — if you supplement it with the right cosmetics and gown. But, warns Travis Banton, be very careful not to be obvious in this enchantress mood. The modern alluring lady a la Lombard does not go in for leopard skins and slanted lids. On the contrary, she even borrows some of the ingenue's gestures — like a net frou-frou around the neck. Only hers is flame-colored, and she wears it over the low decolletage of a molded gown. Her perfume is frankly alluring. She draws in her lips fully and roundly with lipstick of the new dark purplish-red cast, and the polish on her fingernails matches it. Her eyebrow pencil and mascara are a deep black, her eyeshadow a glorious violet shade that speaks of Paris and cosmopolitan living. As a finishing touch, she uses wistaria evening powder that is the last word in powders. Then she sets forth to conquer. • "I BELIEVE the most effective dress I have ever made for Miss Lombard is that thin black crepe in a draped silhouette you will be seeing everywhere in the fall and in 1936," said Travis. This he designed for her "going places" mood. Carole, herself, considers it the smartest gown she has ever owned. She wore it in a picture, then had it copied in two versions for her own use. "It's a luxurious restaurant frock," she explained, "the sort of thing I'd wear if I were dining with some fascinating older man. The slit skirt and separate panels give me utter freedom for dancing. The hat is in perfect keeping with a dining-out mood ; it is fascinating and amusing— a crepe turban trimmed with feathers that make a half frame for the face." The fur and feathers are so [Continued on page 75] Johnnie GOES PLACES/ Johnnie Goes to the Soaf Races, June 1935 Movie Classic for September, 1935 65
