The Photo-Play Journal (May-Dec 1917)

PAGE 46. THE PHOTO-PLAY JOURNAL FOR OCTOBER, 1917 ■nim Virginia Pearson Gives Some Fashion Hints Every woman wants to appear beautiful. There is no question of that. But the daughters of Eve should "watch their step" in the fashion world. This is the gist of some wholesome advice which Virginia Pearson, the statuesque William Fox star, issues about the modes of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Miss Pearson is speaking: "A smart, becoming hat and attractive gloves make up for the most inexpensive frock in the world. Good grooming and the faculty of wearing clothes properly are the essential qualities for attractiveness in woman's appearance. "Many women who spend a large income on jewelry and other luxuries, blindly follow Dame Fashion into perilous paths, instead of laying down good, common-sense rules to be guided by. Compromise with Fashion ; meet her half way. "Don't follow along with short hoopskirt dresses showing fat ankles ; don't wear baby bonnets which set off the double chin to such splendid advantage. I know a woman who bears a remarkable resemblance to a locomotive puffing into a railroad station. She has a fat face and a double chin, but she saw beautiful, slender Mrs. Smith wearing a small baby hat which set off her piquant face and added charm to her prettiness. "My plump friend always did like streamers, so she set out to learn by subterfuge the name of the milliner who created such a 'love of a bonnet,' and a few days later my plump, misguided friend was seen parading Peacock Alley, to the consternation of her real friends, flaunting her charms in a hat which requires youth and beauty to make it plausible. "Instead of emulating the peacock, she would emulate the ostrich if she could only see herself. "So I sav, do not listen to the voice of the temptress, Dame Fashion, for she will lead you astray if you do. Be as well groomed -as you can afford, but be circumspect." Miss Pearson herself has won an enviable reputation for the splendid good taste of her gowns and frocks, and is universally considered one of the best-dressed women on the screen. Man and the Movies By SILAS E. SNYDER Man born of woman is of few days and full of movies. He goeth forth in the evening full of joy, seeking entertainment at the picture emporium, and afterward he returneth to his roof tree sad of heart and feeling that he hath spent his kopecks in vain. He taketh with him on these jaunts the wife of his bosom and the children of his heart because they prefer the movie before ice-cream cones and salted peanuts. It is a joy to him to read aloud the sub-titles to his heirs in order that his neighbors may be bored and made peevish. His pleasure increaseth because the intelligent usher placeth him where he rejoiceth not to be and the speed fiend in the projection booth keepeth the film racing along on high so that he hath to get an aeroplane to keep up with it.
