Pri marily, however, it’s the tale of one star who had the courage to depart from ingenue leads — who took a chance at a mother role and then found herself mothering two other stars in real life as well. This is the behind-the-scenes story of Claudette Colbert, Jennifer Jones, and Shirley Tem ple in “Since You Went Away” — a combination that is smashing box office records across the land. Every time a Claudette Colbert story breaks about how well “Since You Went Away” is doing I feel Shirley Temple like going up to David Selznick and giving him a pat on the back— not alone for the picture, but for taking my advice and casting Clau dette as mother. It all started one day while David was scouting around for a top star to play the heroine of the home front —mother. “Why don’t you get Claudette Col bert for it?” I asked. “She wouldn’t consent,” he coun tered. Jennifer Jones may be purchased whole or t or steaks. Scales may be left on when the fish is cooked for they usually soft en in the cooking process.

"Let me run a little yam that you want her for it and we’ll get her reaction,” I said. D. O. S. agreed. Next day I came out with a story. At 8:30 a. m. sharp Claudette had me on the phone. She wanted to know where in the devil I had got ten such an idea—what ever gave me the notion that she would con sider playing the mother of a couple of girls that old? Then I went to work on her. "David Selznick doesn’t make any thing but good pictures, does he?” I asked. “Well, no.” “You don’t expect to be an in genue all your life, do you?” “Well, no." “You’re an actress, aren’t you?" “I’ve been accused of it.” "Well, why don’t you think it over?” “All right, but Selznick hasn’t asked me yet.” “He will,” I replied. , She was receptive and asked to see a script. Naturally, at that stage of the game there was none. Claudette called me. “I’ve never taken or accepted a part without reading the script first. What if it isn’t suitable for me?” “Listen, Claudette,” I said. "This is going to be a big picture. Selz nick doesn’t make failures. He can’t afford to make anything but a success—and to do that it’s got to be just right for you as well as the others.” Claudette agreed, and the deal was set. Another Problem From the first Jennifer was wor ried. She didn’t feel she was photographing quite as well as she might in certain scenes. Selznick went to Claudette with his problem, and Claudette took over the mother reins in real life as well as on the screen. “You’re a great actress, Jenni fer,” Claudette told her, “and you’re going to be greater. Why don’t you just concentrate on doing a good job and let the cameraman take care of his?” Jennifer did just that. Then we have the case of Claud ette’s other “daughter” — Shirley Temple. Here was a girl who had been No. 1 star of her previous pictures, also No. 1 at the box office. In this one she had to share that billing with six other performers. Shirley did a sweet job of adjust ing herself to this new condition. But the mothering she received on the set from Claudette had a lot to do with making Shirley a better actress. Claudette Colbert, Jennifer Jones and Shirley Temple make a fine trio on the screen. You get a feeling that there is real unity in the Hilton home. The kind of. unity the boys overseas want to come home to. • • • Sol Haa Right Idea Sol Lesser is signing up Agnes De Mille for his next, “Crazy to Dance.” The story is woven about a couple of kids who start dancing in school and grow up to become as famous as Veloz and Yolanda. He’s trying to get a big name for it, and has already talked to several big band leaders. . . . I’m happy to report that Martha Scott is achieving some thing like a personal triumph as a comedienne (for a change) in “Sol dier’s Wife” on Broadway. There’s Many a Way of Wearing These Chic and Lovely Scarfs By CHERIE NICHOLAS IT’S a scarf season! A Not for decades, if ever, has milady’s scarf made such a sen sational splurge in the fashion world as now. The new scarfs are that eye-thrilling and versa tile, you feel the urge when once you start buying, to keep on and on until you have assembled quite a collection. Right you are, for to keep pace with fashion this fall you might as well plan to wear a scarf with most every one of your costumes. However, as chic and charming as the new scarfs are in themselves, they tell but half the story. The other half centers about the many tricky ways there are of wearing a scarf. Just look (to the right in the illustration) what one lacy; sheer pure wool stole-scarf can do to the simple black dress, if you deftly tie it sash-like about the waist. The turban is also made of a twin wool stole draped and wrapped with ut most artistry. You can work out fascinating color schemes in a scarf ensemble like this, for those wool stoles which are "tops” in fashion come in lovely shades, and are smart for dinner wear as well as for about town and sport wear. In the oval to the left see a be guiling sheerest of sheer wool oblong scarf, arranged about the throat with a touch that bespeaks an at tractive accent to any sport outfit. A good-looking pin adds sparkle as well as holding the scarf in place. This scarf comes in ten beautiful jewel colors. What could be more attractive for smart restaurant wear and other gala occasions than a sequin-embroi dered oblong print scarf, which as you will observe (in oval to right) drapes easily as a turban. This ob long scarf also sounds a high-fashion note worn ascot fashion, for as you may know scarf-swathed necklines are tres chic this fall. The print is done in a multi-color English floral patterning jn a veritable medley of delectable tones and tints. You’ll love this scarf with its glitter-glam or and its gaiety. Now that we have told you such sparkling news in regard to the new oblong scarfs, let’s turn our atten tion to the stunning large print squares which are so outstanding in the new collections. Who ever heard of a blouse made of a map of the Pacific, depicting on a 35-inch square of silken sheen the North Pacific and South Pacific and the islands of importance in between. To prove that is a reality and not a myth, see for yourself to the left in the illustration just such a blouse made of a map-printed square and worn as here shown with a patrician tailored suit. This color-bright square is also just what you’ll be wanting to throw about the shoul ders of your chic sweater dress. An even more exciting silken scarf to wear with your sport clothes is a large La Marseillaise square. The print delineates an inspiring figure of La France surrounded by the words, of that famous French nation al anthem. The border shows a pa triotic motto in a most colorful, eye catching pattern. Another timely item in line with present-day events is a striking square scarf which prints famous buildings in Rome, the group cen tered within a small map indicating that "all roads lead to Rome” As to the little sketches in the background of the illustration they show a new tassel scarf which is a three-way type that can be worn as a turban, a scarf or a sash. This scarf is ever so attractive with the fall sport suits and slacks. Released By Western Newspaper Union.

This very attrac tive dress demonstrates how inter estingly exquisite black lace is be ing used for high-style dinner downs. In this instance the sheer top which is such an outstanding feature in smart styling is fashioned in a most beguiling manner. The sprightly lace peplum is lined with horsehair to make it ripple.

For that matter monogrammed sweaters are setting a new fashion that has developed into a tremendous vogue. So get busy girls and embroider a monogram in gay yams that will give your smart sweater a new look of distinction. Pearl Chokers and Shell Combs in Vogue Along with the return of many other little elegancies that graced the fashion picture in the early Vic torian days comes now a revival of tortoise shell combs for hair glamour and what’s more we are going to wear handsome pearl chokers again, just as they did in days of yore. So now choose your tortoise shell hand-carved comb and be the first to flaunt it before admiring friends. You can get the true-to-type Spanish tortoise shell combs, if you like. You may be fortu nate, and have one tucked away in your treasure chest. The smaller sizes shown in the stores are prettily pearl-encrusted or take on decora tive jewel and bead craft or per haps are mounted with sequin-cov ered butterflies and flowers. It’s go ing to be a new experience for most of us to wear anything high about the throat, but the now-so- fashionable pearl chokers and fancy velvet ribbon dog-collars demand just that. Ermine on Black Suits The little black suit with ermine accents is making its appearance at fashionable gatherings. The ermine is used discreetly and effectively— perhaps to cuff an off-the-face hat, a corresponding note sounded in wide ermine cuffs on the sleeves. A very youthful black suit has a collar of snowy ermine finished off with q cluster of tiny ermine tails. Trimming Around Armliole A clever fashion is getting under way this season. It’s a dressmaker touch of trimming around the arm hole with a band of contrast fabrio or with embroidery or beadwork or braid passementerie.
