Ae as a First National release, it was Betsy Patterson of old Baltimore who started many of the current fashions in millinery. As Betsy, Miss Davies wears some of the most amusing, adorable and delightful hats that you’ll see for many a day. And, strangely enough, they are almost identical with some of the newest and latest fashions worn today by our smartest actresses and social leaders. The black coachman’s hat which Miss Davies, as Betsy, wears in some of the most exciting scenes in the picture, is of sleek black hatter’s plush, with a square crown and saucy brim that curves engagingly away from her blonde curls. There’s a simple band of grosgrain ribbon around it, and a plain silver buckle in front. Well, one of the newest bonnets in Miss Davies’ personal wardrobe is a black felt coachman’s hat with square crown (not quite as high as the one she wears as Betsy), a small pert brim that slants away from her face, a band of grosgrain ribbon and a square silver buckle in front. Another of Betsy’s hats that might well be worn by today’s smartest debutante is a scoof of cream-colored leghorn with a simple squarish crown and a medium sized brim. A band of crushed satin ribbon surrounds the crown and ends in streamers that fall down each side—and if you don’t think it would look charming with one of this season’s print dresses, well, you haven’t been keeping up with today’s latest fashion news. Not only in hats, but in cloaks and frocks as well, the Betsy-Patterson fashions disclose the derivation of many of today’s modes. There’s a black velvet coat with wide reverse and double-breasted closing, its deep V-neck filled in with a white silk ascot that might well pass for one of Schiaperelli’s latest reefers. And the ultra-feminine dotted Swiss jabot, all fine knife-pleats, that Miss Davies wears with one of her afternoon frocks in the picture, might well be worn with one of the new spring tailored suits. Page Thirty And these fashions from the past will no doubt increase the interest in, and popularity of, the the modern things that have been derived from them. So, don’t be surprised if you meet a modern Betsy Patterson in a coachman’s hat for lunch, and another version of that slim heroine in a pert mess-jacket for dinner, and still another in a tailored reefer walking down the avenue. For thus are fashions started. Marion Davies In 14. Gay Costumes For Latest Film Costume designing and wardrobe departments of First National studios worked full blast for weeks on a twenty-four hours a day schedule, preparing one of the largest and most diversified picture wardrobes in the history of the studio. More than 500 costumes, for both men and women, were made ready for Marion Davies’ new Cosmopolitan production, “Hearts Divided,” which comes to the AS ae eee ee Theatre on as a First National release. The wardrobe prepared for the large cast supporting Miss Davies, ranged from garments for the jockeys who engaged in a horse race which is part of the action of the picture to gorgeous habiliments for a group of historical characters, including President Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, John Marshall, James Madison, and their ladies. Orry-Kelly, the Warner designer, prepared fourteen lovely creations of the period for Miss Davies. “Hearts Divided” is a gay and glamorous romance by Rida Johnson Young. Frank Borzage directed.

In the winter, dark clothes are the order of the day. ‘<Thus, a very careful makeup, with eyes flatteringly shadowed and lips vividly marked, with skin smoothed to a _ glamorous pale sheen and color faintly glowing in the cheeks is necessary to ‘live up’ to the formality of winter clothes. ‘<But in the summer, the out-ofdoors can be enjoyed. ‘‘Skin, regardless of whether it’s protected from the sun or is a golden tan, should show through the powder. In fact, the powder should be used only to dust the shine from the nose. Natural color should be permitted to glow in the cheeks, the result of healthy exercise and balmy air. Mascara has no place on the lashes of eyes that are dipping into cool pools or lying on warm sands, and a dash of brilliant lipstick will be enough makeup to give vitality to the face of any woman.’’ New Coiffure For Evening Created By Marion Davies Something new in evening coiffures was recently introduced by Marion Davies, lovely star of “Hearts Divided,” the Cosmopolitan production which opens at the ine Re Theatre OM ....0...ssc0ases as a First National release. It’s an idea that’s spreading like wildfire among the smart women of the cinema colony — which means that you will be adopting it within a few weeks. Of course you’re used to flowers in the hair — you’ve even accustomed your eyes to the spectacle of grapes or other fruits dangling above a fair brow — not to mention the passe tiaras that were so important several seasons ago. In fact, the current mode demands an evening coiffure that has some embellishment other than gleaming, beautifully-waved tresses. So, in the search for something new, Marion Davies hit upon the novel idea of wearing a ruffle around her head, halo-fashion — and it’s an idea that’s as flattering and glamorous as it is simple and fetching. The ruffle may be made of net or tulle or of tiny frilled satin ribbon and it may either match the frock or contrast with it. It demands a hair-dress that is utterly simple and youthful, with perhaps a few soft curls on the forehead and over the ears. Then, the ruffle is placed an inch or two above the hair-line and clasped around the head at the most becoming angle. Miss Davies confessed that she was inspired by the costumes she wears in ‘‘ Hearts Divided.’’ ‘‘A matching hat-and-searf set will do wonders to pep up > your wardrobe, says Marion Davies, beautiful Cosmopolitan star, whose latest picture, ‘‘Hearts Divided’’ will open at the [Ey Seg Ree en eee es Theatre on National release. wifes tepals ee , as a First ‘‘Kvery woman has a few frocks that are no longer new, yet which are too good to be discarded. All she needs is some new accessories to bring them up to date. “Well, try buying a new hat and then having a scarf made to match it. The scarf can serve either as a collar for the frock, or it can be worn on the outside of the coat as a finishing touch. In either touch, beneath the matching hat, it has the newness and smartness necessary to lift a last season’s outfit into the day-after-tomorrow class.” Miss Davies practices what she preaches, for she is a well-known figure in the smartest hat and accessory shops of New York and Hollywood, ever on the alert for something new and fetching for herself and for the friends upon whom she loves to shower gifts. One of her newest purchases is an exceedingly chic hat and scarf set of black and white. The hat is of the flattering poke-bonnet shape, modified, of course. On top it is of black rough crepe with a crown that hugs the head closely. There’s a scoop-brim about two inches wide that turns up in back, and the entire brim is lined with spotless white pique. The matching scarf is of black crepe about six inches wide, with a scalloped shape to the outer edge. And the inside is edged with a band of white pique about six inches wide which ties ascotfashion at her throat. The outer scalloped edge is also bordered with white pique about three inches wide. Then, as a final smart touch, Miss Davies wears a white gardenia with this hat-and-scarf and sits back to listen to the compliments that are showered upon her. “Hearts Divided” is a rollicking romance combined with thrilling drama.

Marion Davies Wears Kresh Flowers At Night ‘“‘Every woman should wear flowers in the evening,”’ says lovely Marion Davies, star of the Cosmopolitan production, ‘‘Hearts Divided,”’ which opens at the heateeOM (ess cue es ‘‘But she should strive for new and original ways of wearing them. ‘‘The time-worn habit of pinning a cluster of blossoms on the left shoulder has no individuality, no distinction. But if each woman will give as much thought to her corsage as she does to her make-up, her coiffure, her frock itself, she will find that she has attained not only a definitely delightful personality, but real chic, as well. “One of the newest — and I think nicest — ways of wearing flowers this season is to pin them in your hair, and to catch a matching spray around your wrist. Or better still, around your arm,” Miss Davies continued. “Of course one’s choice of flowers must be determined by personality. Certain flowers ‘go’ with certain women just as do certain colors and certain lines. Therefor, the first consideration in selecting the flowers to be worn for the evening must be their suitability to their wearer — then their adaptability to the gown which they are to adorn. “In general, the larger, heavier blossoms should be worn by dark and vivid types and the lighter, more delicate flowers should be chosen by blondes. For instance, carnations, gardenias, camellias, are perfect for brunettes, while lilies of the valley, violets, forget-me-nots and lilacs are best on blondes. “Roses should seldom, if ever, be worn — they are truly ‘house flowers’ save in the case of redheaded women, who can wear small yellow roses with distinetion. “The orchid is perhaps, the most difficult flower to wear, as it is so overpowering in its own beauty that it requires terrific personality, a statuesque figure, and classic features to over-balance its own importance. However, white and purple orchids are a blonde’s best bets, the pale yellow or green orchid will be fine for brunettes, while the dark yellow (almost brown) orchid is the only one a red-head should choose. “Then, after making a wise choice, a little ingenuity in evolving a new manner of wearing her flowers, will make a woman the belle of the ball.”
