Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1920)

Photoplay Magazine — Advkrtising Secjion Dressing on $5 Per CAN girls dress on $s a week? The answer, right off, is a decided "No" from any girl or any girl's father. However, Alice Brady, acknowledgedly one of the bestdressed girls in professional or private life today, says it can be done. "Why," said Alice, "if I were a girl who had to live on $20 a week, I wouldn't try to dress like a little daughter of the rich. Suppose your living expenses cost you !?i5; that would leave you $5 for clothes, wouldn't it? I would get only the most sensible and serviceable things. If I had $250 a year to spend on clothes I wouldn't buy georgette blouses and silk underwear. I'd buy a good suit, for $50. Two hats, for ?io each. But suppose I itemize: "i suit $50 2 hats 20 Storm coat 50 Gloves 10 Shoes 30 Stockings 6 2 corsets 6 6 union-suits 6 Petticoats 10 Lawn blouses 12 Total !P2oo "You see, that leaves S50 for incidentals!" said Miss Brady triumphantly. "Such as veils and hairpins and umbrellas and rubb?i-; and things like that. Or maybe a light summer dress. The point is, spend carefully; buy good things, not cheap shoddy things, such as flimsy silk stockings, cheap underwear, and elaborate hats. Anyone iinds that no matter how much money she has to spend, it is the simple things that are most appealing." Owed to the Pictures (Concluded from page 54) joyous mood in anticipation of a coming love scene or a family reunion, while tlie playing of the Rachmaninoff "Prelude," or "The Storm" or "One Fine Day" from Puccini's "Madam Butterfly" senses impending tragedy, and the orchestrration of the cigarette girls' ballet or "Habanera" from the opera "Carmen" or the joyous music of the second act of Puccini's "La Boheme" denotes that a scene of reckless merrymaking is in progress. "We shall use more and more of the works of such men as Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Schuman, Schubert, Cesar Franck, Bizet and Godard as time goes on," says Arthur Kay, the conductor of the orchestra of Grauman's Theater, Los Angeles, "because it is more consistent. One can take a whole movement of a piece of this sort, — a quartet for instance,— and keep up the same mood. Set exclusively for strings it maintains a sustained value that is foreign to an operatic work. It is more like specially-composed music, — ^the kind that every picture needs." Louis F. Gottschalk, who wrote the music for "The Tik Tok Man of Oz" and other stage successes, daily works upon the scores that accompany the Griffith pictures. His work for "Broken Blossoms" is largely original. It will be this specically composed music that will accompany the big pictures of the future, one may predict. Too often has an audience had to sit through a splendid photodrama ruined by its musical score. In elevating musical taste the photoplay has sung the death-knell of its own poor accompaniments and moulded the public taste in such manner that musical tawdriness is quite as impossible as Elsie Ferguson in a slapstick comedy.
