Then, too, it will soon' be Spring, tra la! £<ergdorf Goodman, Elizabeth Hawes and Jay Thorpe, therefore, are now all dewy with suggestions calculated to remind lovely womanhood that what she really needs Is a lot of fine new clothes. Bergdorf Goodman, addressing It- self to someone known as 'milady,' bids her continue a gentle, conven- tional woman, conflne her daring to starched white pique flat collars and bows on black lace dinner dresses, hearken to the well-bred guidance of Augustabernard, Lanvln, Patou and Vlonnet, and tosses to her, it she still feels she must scamper a bit, a cautious :ieasure of Schiapa- relli. Bergdorf Goodman's milady Is go- ing to be languidly graceful In the evening In Augustabernard's dresses draped softly across neck and shoulders, wrapped and fastened at the back of the low decolletage with jeweled clips and buttons. She will wear casual evening wraps tied with a bow at her neck, then flaring gently outward to the hem of their three quarter length. If she feels dramatic, she may come to the party with a chiffon velvet mantle thrown easily across her shoulder. She'll be comfortable in whatever wrap she chooses, for they are cut so skillfully they hang in the right lines without having to be clutched. Hawes' audience, a self confldent. Independent gathering of Bright Young People with excellent figures, aren't so much Interested in what other people wear so long as their own things are imaginative and definitely personal. The specialized Hawes young ladles will go about in costumes each the complete ex- pression of an idea. In the evening It's a seductive idea wisely achieved by the illusion of frank Innocence, for day it's a Jaunty, careless, swaggering Idea built from unex- pected materials, amusing decora- tion, creative accessories. The Jay Thorpe girl is a modern young woman who conforms to the general mode, leads it Just enough to be up at the head of the fashion parade. Sleeves massive at the armhole for her, and tailleurs. She'll spend the day in well-fitted suits and discreet printed dresses.

T., on a two-day basis, using five-act shows economically budgeted on Fridays and Saturdays. First bill on Friday (10) signaled the Initial use of stage attractions of any kind In this town by Publix. Opposition is the State, former Joe Quittner house in receivership, which plays last half vaude booked by FaiHy Markus. The State is one of the three Quittner houses involved In the $6,200,000 Quittner suit against Par. amount-Publix and others recently dismissed in Federal Court. Abe Feinberg, booking Friday and Saturday vaude for Publix Into Peeksklll, is also supplying shows for Publljt In Mlddletown. (Continued from page 25) Ing was held at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, with 230 of a membership of 400 attending. Their single resolution did not mention the salary cut, but only stated that local 235 would do what- ever the majority of other unions did. Leaders in this group, although not saying so officially, were against accepting promissory notes in lieu of salary for pictures started be- fore March 6. The scenic artists in this group are only ones who are paid on a scale. Others, including arf directors, draftsmen, set dressers, set decora- tors, make-up artists and hair dressers, have several times asked for studio recognition unsuccess- fully. At the meeting, it was stated by one of the members that Maurice Chevalier and Marlene Dietrich had been excused from taking the cut because they were forced to pay high income taxes both to the United States and to their native countries. It was also stated that star, director, writer and executive salaries comprl.sed 80% of the pay- roll In studios, leaving 20% for union and other employees. Several times the meeting looked like it might turn into a rout, par- ticularly when severe earthauakc tremors shook the auditorium, and chiefly because of the large number of women present. Calmer persons in the group, however, assured the others that there was no danger. Quake Toll (Continued from page 3) preview of 'Hell Below' that night. His fate was in doubt for 18 hours following the first shock, until he was discovered at the Community hospital. Newberry had gone into a restaur rant next door to the Imperial the> atre for dinner, and was sitting at a table when the wall collapsed and threw him into the street. Carmen Quintana, chief usherette of the West Coast theatre pulled him out from under a truck and got him to a physician's office, where it was found his collarbone was broken, four ribs had been caved in and he had sustained a tupture in addition tQ bruises ahout the head and bddy. From there he was taken to ' the hospital by W. H. IiOlUer ahd'Percy R. Kent, Fox-West Coast executives, who had gone to the Beach Satur- day morning to search for him. He is in a serious condition. Morale Upset A meeting will be held today (Monday) by exhibitors in the stricken area to consider means for obtaining permits to reopen the safe houses as soon as the morale of the community is restored. Only a sparse audience, due to the bank holiday, averted a serious loss of: life in the Fox Wilshlre, Beverly Hills, where a large dome chan« delieir crashed Friday night. Serious damage was sustained In Los Angeles by the Golden Gate, on Whlttier boulevard, where the walls are badly cracked. Estimated that the theatres lost more than $100,000 in business over the weekend. Many theatres on Friday night played to mere hand- fuls, few daring to brave a recur- rence of the initial shock. Up to six o'clock Saturday morning there had been 130 tremors in Southern California, according to the records of the U. S. Meteorological bureau. Los Angeles film exchange man- agers met Saturday morning with circuit and independent executives and agreed to suspend all film C.O.D.s for 48 hours. Decision was based on chaos caused by continua- tion of the bank holiday plus earth- quake hysteria. Exchanges sus- pended deliveries of films to houses in the stricken area immediately the extent of the disaster was ascer- tained. For the first 24 hours after the Long Beach disaster outside com- munication was carried on exclu- sively by radio, contact being be- tween KFOX and Los Angeles po- lice department. Most of the early news copy used by papers and wire services was reported as being picked from that station's broad- casts of disaster. Long Beach 'Press Telegram' and Long Beach 'Sun' plants were both demolished by quake, with both papers having editions for .Monday printed at the plant of the Pasadena 'Star-News.' According to Insurance companies here, less than 5% of total Southern California quake damage is coverei by quake Insurance. Late Sunday nlglit the total damage was esti- mated at $35,000,000, with Long Beach close to $25,000,000 of that amount. Largo theatre, in Watts, town in earthquake zone, opened Sunday night, although ruined buildings on all sides. House, undamaged, w^ia on Main St., wliere many buildlnKS were destroyed. Played to a hand- ful only.
