★★★By VIRGINIA VALE★★★
F IVE small boys have just
about disrupted Hollywood.
They are the youngsters who
played on the stage in New York
in “Dead End” and who now
are in Hollywood playing the
same roles in the picture.
They don’t like Hollywood, they
think acting in movies is pretty silly,
and their complete lack of rever
ence for glamorous stars frequently
makes the girls furious or tearful.
One of them will go up to a famous
star, and out of kindness let us call
her “Miss X,“ and say politely, “Is
it true that you get paid two thou
sand dollars a week?” At her nod
of assent, the little tough will look
her over critically from head to
foot, and say “But why?”
Barbara
Stanwyck
“This Is My Affair,” a Twentieth
Century-Fox picture, has Barbara
Stanwyck and Rob
ert Taylor as its
stars, which is
enough to cause a
stampede at the
box office any time,
but in addition this
has some gripping
historical scenes. It
must be thrilling
enough to the old
folks who can re
member Teddy
Roosevelt and Ad
miral Dewey to see
them represented on the screen, but
for those to whom these two great
historical figures are just a legend,
It is downright throat-choking. Bar
bara, as usual, gives a beautifully
sincere and moving pei*formance.
As for Taylor, he is his usual charm
ing self.

If yon like Navy pictures with lots
of gold braid, humming engines,
wonderful marine views, and ter
rific drama, there is “Wings Over
Honolulu” for yon. It is a Univer
sal picture with Wendy Barrie, Ray
Milland, and Bill Gargan and it is
so exciting that I just had to stay
and see it a second time and any
day now I may go back again.
Incidentally, Bill Gargan is now
making a picture on the Universal
lot qalled “Reporter Missing” and
he has been taking the thrills of the
picture so seriously, that when a
burglar-alarm salesman walked in
to his house he found Bill a willing
customer. Bill had an electric eye
also installed so that anyone enter
ing the house in the dark late at
night would pass it and set gongs
and bells to ringing an alarm.
Any week now Don Wilson may
have* to break down and sing a few
songs on the Jack Benny radio pro
gram. When Jack had to bow out
of his usual Sunday night radio
appearance because of flu, Wil
son subbed for him and threatened
to sing. Phil Harris, Kenny Baker
and the rest implored him not to—
and a few days later protests by the
bushel poured in from Detroit lis
teners. They didn’t realize it was
all kidding and they resented it.
They remember, you see, that Don
Wilson used to sing with a vocal
trio at a Detroit station and they
know that he has a glorious voice.
When Fred Astaire goes off the
air for the summer, Trudy Wood,
his singing partner, will stay on
with the new program, which in
cludes barytone Jimmy Blair and
a sixteen-voice rhythm choir. Trudy
is only twenty-one years old, so
you can’t blame her for being so
happy she went home to sing and
shout for hours the day the con
tract was signed.
Gracie Allen has a perfectly won
derful idea for raising a lot of mon
ey for charity. She
wants to send her
husband, George
Burns, and his
bridge-playing cro
nies, Tony Mar
tin, Bert Wheeler,
and Benny Rubin on
a tour of the coun
try to stage bridge
games in public.
She maintains that
they play the worst,
the loudest, and the
funniest bridge and that everyone
ought to have a chance to see and
hear them.

ODDS AND ENDS . . . Folks who
scribble on the tablecloths in the Para
mount studio restaurant are now fined
thirty-five cents. Jack Benny's debt ran so
high that Mary Livingstone gave him a
few old tablecloths from home to use on
his table at the studio . . . When Dick
Foran was given a new contract and told
that he was going to graduate from West
erns into big, spectacular, expensive pro
ductions, he asked wistfully if he couldn't
make a Western now and then. "Don’t
you want to be a big, important star of the
best pictures?" he was asked. "No," he
said, “/ want to ride my horse" . . . Big
Boy Williams shudders when he thinks of
the jeering fan mail he is going to get
soon. He had to eat 18 cream puffs for m
scene in "Let's Talk of Love."

Silk Prints, Jackets and Big Brims
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
S "" IHL
IT ERE’S giving you a very proper
* * formula for smart spectator
sports costumes to wear these sum
mer days. The combination runs
thusly—stunning silk print for the
dress which must have a jacket,
cape or coat of the same or of some
other plain silk related to the en
semble, with matching print silk de
tails, to which add headgear that
makes a wide brim appear at its
widest. The fuss and furore being
made over gay prints and wide
brims is on the increase as summer
advances.
The vogue started early in the
season, at which time fashions at
the Belmont racetrack set the pace
for a colorful and luxurious sum
mer costume program, that high
lights silk prints in unmistakable
terms. Then, too, the emphasis
placed on big brims is becoming
more and more apparent as fashions
take a definite stand.
At outdoor events fashionables are
adopting this formula of silk print
costume plus a huge brim with
greatest enthusiasm. Noteworthy
among high-style gestures is the
topping of one’s print dress with a
coat or a cape or a jacket of silk
bengaline. The revival of bengaline
is big news in the fabric realm, and
it’s good news for bengaline is so
dependably wearable and has an air
of gentility about it thart ever ap
peals to discriminating taste.
In assembling your costume to be
worn in the grandstand or to view
what’s going on from the club ve
randah the big thought to keep in
mind is the importance that fash
ion attaches to matching or related
jackets or coats or capes if your
taste runs in that direction. If you
like to do things notably “modern”
you will see to it that your dress
be monotone with your coat or cape
or jacket done in spectacular print.
The swank outfit to the left in the
picture tells the story more dra
matically than words. In this in
stance it is the coat that is of gay
jockey plaid linen-like silk that tops
a simple monotone sports frock.
This type is a “last word” fashion
in coats that are worn over either
black or beige crepe dresses. The
huge stitched silk cartwheel that
completes this costume gives per
fect style accent. Speaking of hats
that are styled of silk, the most re
cent millinery collections feature
them, particularly wide-brimmed
types that are tailored of black or
navy taffeta. A hat of this kind is
considered good style worn with ei
ther the daytime tailleur or with
the summery dainty lingerie frock.
The costume centered in the
group makes twin print its fabric
theme. It also stresses the voguish
redingote silhouette. Royal rose
printed silk crepe is used for the
dress with printed silk chiffon for
the sheer redingote that is worn
over it. The redingote as here
shown has a border of the silk crepe,
thus bringing the costume into a
perfect unit.
The idea of a jacket of contrasting
material that is lined with the print
that fashions the dress is nicely car
ried out in the costume illustrated
to the right. The dress is of aca
jou silk crepon printed in powder
blue. The jacket worn w^th it is of
flannel identical to the blue in the
print. It is lined with matching
print. Note the large Spanish sailor
brim and velvet bow on the hat.
If you favor the very smart red-
and-white color scheme we would
suggest a redingote of wine and
white printed silk chiffon banded
with a matching silk print of the
same fabric as the dress. Wear
with this charming redingote en
semble a white toyo sports hat
trimmed with a wide wine colored
band. Shoes and bag of wine col
ored gabardine together with gloves
in matching wine tone will add in
finite distinction.

BOLERO EFFECT
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
ROMANTIC MOOD IS
KEYNOTE OF SEASON
Rivalling the princess style in
popularity in children’s fashions is
the dress with a bolero or at least
with a bolero effect. The idea of a
bolero is really a peasant trend,
such as is wielding a widespread
influence throughout juvenile styles
this season. The cunning white pique
frock pictured has a simulated bo
lero typical of the Dalmatian dress.
Wee brass buttons go down the
front and there is a dash of gay
embroidery at each side of the front
done in red, blue and yellow. The
typical peasantiike pillbox hat
sports a streamer tassel of pom
pons repeating the color of the
embroidery on the dress.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
For the very formal evening gown
the romantic mood is the keynote of
the season. Crisp silk mousselines,
silk nets and silk marquisettes or
stiff silk taffetas make gowns with
yards and yards of skirt fullness
swirling and billowing about the
ankles. Some are stiffened with
cording like “Southern Belle” hoop
skirts, others use several layers
of the silks in contrasting or match
ing colors to give the bouffant ef
fect. Exotic striped sheers over
plain silk foundations sometimes
have huge ruffles of self fabric
around the hem to accent the width
of the skirt.
There’s romance in daytime
clothes, too. Frills and furbelows
in the way of ribbon-bow trimmings
and neckwear, also blouses of the
sheer face-trimmed fluffy-ruffle type
add the feminine touch. As to ro
mance in hats there’s plenty of it in
the way of large leghorn capelines,
many having long ribbon streamers
for dressy wear, while for wear
with tailored suits there are im
mense black or navy leghorns that
are banded with ribbon tying in a
sprightly little bow.
New Evening Frocks Are
Beau Catchers for Fair
The new evening frocks are regu
lar beau catchers, and the dance
floor looks just like a garden filled
with beautiful, ethereal blossoms.
Full-skirted frocks of chiffon or lace
v/ith patching, long capes, com
plete with dainty hoods, are selling
fast. But they should be worn only
by the very young woman. Then
there is the marquisette dress and
bolero, with short, high, puffed
sleeves. This comes in delicate blue
or rose and has the bottom of its
full skirt strewn with tiny velvet
forget-me-not clusters.
A S RIGHT as rain, and as cool
ing, are these clever young
modes for the woman who sews.
Each is simple to make, pleasant
to wear, and may possibly be the
difference between a modern
and a mediocre wardrobe for you
this summer. Sew-Your-O w n
wants to help you look your best,
to stamp you modern-to-the-min-
ute, and therefore is anxious and
proud to present today’s trio.
A Two Piecer for Chic.
If he tells you you’re just a nice
armful you are the right size and
type to wear the blouse ’n’ skirt
shown above, left. The waistcoat
idea is very much the thing in
blouses. The skirt is terribly
young and figure flattering. What
more could any little heart
desire? You can have this smart
ensemble for a song and a mini
mum of stitches. Think of the
countless summer occasions
ahead that all but specify this
very outfit.
Not Smart Matron.
You should sue for slander any
one who calls you a Smart Matron
when you don this gratifying new
fashion (above center). You step
into an entirely new size range
when you step forth in this frock.
So simple is its technique—
merely a deftly designed feminine
jabot, softly draped contours, and
a meticulously slender skirt—yet
so effective. It will thrill you in
marquisette chiffon or lace, and
it will keep you deliciously cool.
Snappy for Sports.
Play the net or the grandstand
in the sports dress at the right
and feel perfectly confident in any
event. There isn’t one among us
who hasn’t a real yen for a
streamlined all-of-a-piece sports
ter that’s on and off in a jiffy,
launders easily, and comes up
smiling time after time. You can
concoct something clever of seer
sucker or pique and complete the
whole thing in an afternoon. Why
not order your size today and
have all-summer benefit of a real
ly companionable sports dress?

Hot Weather is Here—
Beware of Biliousness!
Have you ever noticed that in
very hot weather your organs of
digestion and elimination seem to
become torpid or lazy? Your food
sours, forms gas, causes belching,
heartburn, and a feeling of rest
lessness and irritability. Perhaps
you may have sick headache,
nausea and dizziness or blind
spells on suddenly rising. Your
tongue may be coated, your com
plexion bilious and your bowel
actions sluggish or Insufficient.
These are some of the more
common symptoms or warnings of
biliousness or so-called “torpid
liver,” so prevalent in hot climates.
Don’t neglect them. Take Calo-
tabs, the improved calomel com
pound tablets that give you the
effects of calomel and salts, com
bined. You will be delighted with
the prompt relief they afford.
