We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
very decollete evening gown of brocade — the white shading into creamy tones where it changed from shiny to dull. Bodice was snug, with a basque waistline; skirt was plain and very full. Tiny shoulder straps held up the top which featured a five-inch semi-pleated ruffle flaring out across the bustline and flattening down against the dress across the back. Jennifer wore her hair parted in the middle, full and fluffy.
Loretta Young, too, has a new creamy brocade number. It’s a dinner suit, with a tailored tunic, rolled collar and a pencilslim skirt. Sooo simple. Edith Head, who designed it, describes it is a prime example of the simple use of a fabulous fabric.
Marie McDonald steals the show at parties by bringing out all her blonde beauty with bon bon colors. With one confection, in which a net hoopskirt, sequin starred, falls over a huge blue satin bow, Marie tucks a pink rose in her low, draped blue satin bodice and ties a slim, blue satin band high about her throat.
DIANA LYNN is another gal who, more than ever lately, gets double takes from the boys at parties. She favors black for evening. Romantic effects, too. Heartshaped decolletages edged in net, full skirts, and little cameo lockets on narrow, black satin necklaces.
June Allyson has been wearing an oldfashioned wool stocking cap for cocktail parties — but rolls it a bit so that the “stocking” part doesn’t by any means look too long or too sloppy. Cute gag is the way the cap goes glamorous when June studs the crown with several little bejewelled animal pins. And sometimes varies this idea by pinning graduated little gold flower pins onto it instead.
Also, if a new trend started by Anita Colby gets picked up as fast as your reporter thinks it will, then an awful lot of Hollywood gals will be “wearing their hearts on their sleeves” as an accessory whether they’re in the midst of a romance or not. Anita wears a rather large gold (the fourteen karat kind) heart pinned to her coat sleeve — on dresses — and even on sweater sleeves. Just the idea — whether you take it up in gold, silver or just plain tin — sounds intriguing. And think of all the different inscriptions that could be engraved on the hearts!
Shirley Temple wears a wide red calf belt and matching shoulder-strap bag with a fine sheer-wool sports dress that certainly makes her a cute trick on a Beverly Hills shopping spree. Shirley’s belt features a chatelaine of polished silver coins, fastening in the center. Her red calf moccasins have buckles bn the toes which also just happen (because Shirley bothered to see that it happened!) to have little matching silver coins dangling from them.
Then there’s the return of the scarf. Joan Crawford is one of the many who have gone mad for long, long scarves of net or lace with evening dresses — especially the topless kind. They sort of “finish the dress off” in a graceful, feminine way and we’ve noticed that Cleatus Caldwell, like her husband Bob Hutton’s ex-wife Natalie Thompson, is a fan for the scarf at evening. Joan’s dramatic evening gown of black net, with its bare top, boasts a scarf of the black net that’s about a yard wide, and when crushed across her neck and shoulders, drops almost to the floor behind her when she walks or dances. With chiffon gowns, a matching chiffon scarf gives the same flowy effect. Or if you have a lace evening dress that can’t be matched, then a huge long scarf of net dyed to match will certainly make it seem new — to say nothing of the dramatic effect!
So with the green light on parties this year, Hollywood says look your prettiest. And have fun!
