Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1935)

PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE FOR MARCH, 1935 101 The Well-Dressed Young Man He wasn't jugged, l>ut he did pay a 400 franc fine. October 1 — Today I went out in a pirogue with one of the natives anil saw a six-foot shark — inside the reef. Cook says it's the biggest he's ever heard of inside. The natives hate sharks so fiercely that when they hook and catch one j they prop its mouth open with a stick wedged endwise between the roof of (he mouth and the j lower jaw and throw it back alive The shark drowns, of all things! October 3— I've just made an exciting purchase. Henry Rosin, a sculptor who lives down here, has a torso of a native woman on exhibition at (hi cago's Century of Progress. He showed me some of his other work and a photograph of Torso of Tehiva. I was so impressed that I bought the original work. It's to be delivered to me in California at the close of the fair. October 5— We've hired bicycles and spent several hours j riding out into the country. The coastal belt is flat enough to make excellent cycling, and we're all sorry that we never got around to cycling the island as Hall suggested. October 6 — Mail from the slates today! We went down to see the boat come in, feeling like old inhabitants. Afterwards each of us \ read everyone else's mail; and there were magazines and papers that assumed a much greater importance than they'd ever had at home October 7 — Bill Bainbridge and the Mersmans came out for lunch, which seemed to be mostly rum punches. Afterwards we tried climbing coco j nut trees a la native, with the feet joined up with a short piece of rope. From my indifferent success, I should say that I haven't any native blood. Bill Bainbridge has. He was divorced ; by his first wife when she discovered that his grandfather had eaten her grandmother at a cannibal feast in the old days, he claims. October 8— We sailed at six. In the early sun the island was even more beautiful today than mi th< day of our arrival. Good-bye, Tahiti! [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 55 | Now that we've dispensed with formal clothes, the rest is mostly a matter of dots and dashes. To avoid confusion with Western Union, I'll make it pin-points and checks. Those are the smartest predominating designs, and it will be wise to keep that in mind when browsing about at your favorite | haberdasher's. Suits, socks, shirts, ties — just about everything smart is covered with pin j points or checks. Plain colors and plaids hold a perennially secure second place, however. Royal Irish poplin ties in pin-points head my own private list of neckpieces. They come I in all shades and top off a sharkskin suit like ' nothing else. Sharkskins are growing more every day in popularity. They make up in double breasted models better than any cloth I can think of, wear like iron, and lower the pressing bill to a welcome minimum.
