Perhaps that again is going a little too far for an undiscriminating public, but what other court or military scenes in films have just that certain eclat that Von Stroheim gets into his pictures?" You will usually find that men who have the means to be fashionable and, moreover, have always been used to correct form in dress, do not insist on being like tailors' dummies in everyday life, but when there is occasion to dress correctly, they always look the real thing. John Bowers is well to do. The new home that he recently had constructed cost him, with its furnishings, nearly half a million dollars. You may well surmise, then, that John can afford to pay for the latest styles every day without turning a hair. But instead of being ostentatious in his clothes he is conservative and correct — correct to a detail. "'Many pictures," my well-dressed informant continued, "make it look as though people in what is called high society entertain in homes with interiors equal in size to those of a palace. The guests are dressed up like a circus parade rather than in the conservative manner of the class they are supposed to represent." A young man who met Bowers in New York, and who had never been in the East before, kept begging him to point out a certain society leader. She appeared one afternoon in a hotel tea room where they happened to be, and Bowers pointed her out. "What, is that Mrs. ?" asked the young fellow, rather dismayed. "She doesn't dress like a fashionable society lady." When asked what his idea of a fashionable society lady was, he described something in lace, frills, and silks. "Another amusing thing," Bowers commented, "is the way movie actors, when called upon to dress for a certain kind of scene, all conform to exactly the same type, without any variation. I recollect seeing a picture featuring in part a race track. All the leading male characters of the story appeared at the race course in almost identical attire. Now at races you can wear several styles . of clothes. The race scene would, to my belief, have been more like the real thing if at least one of the men had worn a gray Prince Albert and a gray hat. That is one of the correct forms to wear at races. Yet not one of those actors thought of that. They all wore exactly the same style — the customary morning suit. "Never in Hollywood, by the way, do you see the proper morning suit — a black cutaway, gray-and-blackstriped trousers, and black silk hat — such as you often see worn by prosperous business men of the AVall Street district of New York. The climate out here would, even in winter, be against such a style." John Bowers is not a fashion plate sporting the latest fads ; rather is he a person whom you instantly take for a well-groomed gentleman. An example of his choice of the correct garb for the correct occasion was given in "The Dice Woman." The scene being laid in the Orient, he wore the Oriental evening dress — short white jacket and black silk sash. If Hollywood wishes to introduce an Oriental style into the Occident, I suggest that they adopt this form of evening wear. English styles always lead for men — French for women. Why should not the movie center turn into a center of style by mixing the fashions of all countries ? I put the suggestion to John. He smiled and said : "Oh, I don't think that would be very correct form." Well, Sir, He's a Scream Continued from page 74 haps, that starts to explain some question, or dispel some problem, only to wind up in a helpless, little twist of the wrist, a twist fairly capturing the futility of things. His gayety is always tinged with doubt ; he stands for the average human being, his hopes, his fears, his aspirations, his lack of confidence,, his dreams. The Langdon pan is a mirror of longing. Consider this far-fetched, if you like, but first see "The Strong Man." Chaplin is still at the head of the list, supreme comedian of the screen. But close upon his heels patters grave, grotesque Harry Langdon, with his saucerlike eyes in his moon of a face, with his tortured, little smile and his fluttering hands — Langdon who is fast passing Lloyd and Keaton in the race for popularity. When a man succeeds in getting laughs and winning sympathy at the same time, he may safely be said to have arrived. By this token, Harry Langdon is here to stay!
