★★★By VIRGINIA VALE*** OF COURSE you’ve seen Sid Silvers, and laughed St him, in many a movie now you’re going to hear him on the air with A1 Jolson, whomyou’ve also seen in pic tures, but not recently. Silvers is something new under the sun. He writes the very funny lines he speaks; that is, he makes them up, but he doesn’t put them down on paper. He just says them. Somebody else takes them down. And if he gets a very funny idea during the final filming of a scene, in:it goes and the scene is done over •gain. But what havoc that will cre ate if he forgets himself and does it •n the air,’since radio scripts have to be written and re-written, and then approved. Now It's Claudette Colbert and her husband who are going to adopt f Claudette ■' Colbert a Daby from that famous orphanage Mn Chicago. Irene Dunne and her hus band were the latest couple to do it—and Irene, worse luck, had such a bad cold during the first few days of the little girl’s presence in her new home that she couldn’t go near the Infant. Meanwhile Claudette has been given the lead in the ■Vittu TCiSluu U4 AUVctXXV.il, uie successful stage play; she should be grand in it —<— Claire Luce, who was Fred Astaire’s first dancing partner after his sister, deserted him for matri mony, is in Hollywood, with yearn ings to become a motion picture actress. On the stage she got along beautifully with the nimble Fred, but she’s not making tests for RKO, so apparently she isn’t being con sidered fofc his partner on the screen. Practically everyone else has been, apparently! • jjC'he blonde Miss Luce has a life hwe on the stage behind her—that ill she has her lifetime, as she sfimed at the age of four. She was one of the six or eight chorus girls in the musical show in which Mir iam Hopkins and various other cel ebrities were also chorus girls—and what tales they all tell about each other in private! ’ —-fr it looks as if James Cagney would break out again—not In a fight with a motion picture company this time, but in a nest venture. He is talking of reviving the theater in small towns, so you may see him in per son before Jong. It is said that Robert Montgomery and Pat O'Brien may appear with him, as well as his brother Bill. Meanwhile his first picture for Grand Rational, completed at last. How do you like the idea of a picture with Robert Taylor, Spencer Tracy and James Stewart in it? The picture will be “Three Comrades,” and the author is the man who wrote "Journey’s End,” so the story ought to be good. Once upon a time studio executives would have screamed at the idea of putting three such players in one picture, but nowadays the big companies plan to give us as much for our money as they can. —-fr— Have you been missing “Minnie Mouse” from the screen? It you have, don't worry— she’ll return. You see, her voice—that is, die young woman who plays "Minnie’s Voice — got married and went off on a honeymoon. Being the voice for one of Walt Disney’s popular characters £a pretty good job —and it means a contract for the actual owner of the Walt Disney VUiWC, tW| WVVHMWV the public is so familiar with the sounds that Mickey and his co-play* ers make. Maybe some day we’ll see that Disney feature-length picture that has been talked about for so long, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” , j... ■ • —*— p0DDS AND ENDS . .. Ever since he finished “The Gey Desperado" Nino Martini has been traveling around, giving concerts, and flying east each Wednesday for his broad cast—to imagine how thankful he is that the opera season has started in New York, keeping him home for the winter... B. P. Schulberg, the movie producer, finally admitted that he and Sylvia Sidney will probably marry Men his marital affairs are straight ened out ... He and Mrs. Schulberg have been living apart lor some time ..Richard Due is taking out a pat it for a thornless rose which he has ievetoped at his ranch . . . Robert Young will appear with Claudette Colbert in "She Met Him in Paris," which may console him for losing out m "Love on the Run," the Crawford Sable-Tone picture ., . Now they say Wit Gladys George who will play the tola of the mother in “Stella Dallas." • Western Newspaper Union. Clamorous Is the New Lingerie By CHERIE NICHOLAS C*OR the fair sex nothing so strikes " the right note as beautiful lin gerie. Seeing lovely "undies,” and coveting, is akin to that feeling one has in a garden of flowers, to add another and yet another to one’s bouquet plucked from among na ture’s loveliest Just so does the eternal feminine in us keep longing for one more and one more of the delectably colorful lace - trimmed silken nighties, slips, pantie sets, negligees, cunning bed-jackets and others such as designers are this season placing before the enrap tured eyes of beauty-seeking wom ankind. Even so, the esthetic viewpoint is but half the story, for there is a practical side to the question that those skilled in the art of dress keep ever in mind, namely, a cos tume to be fashion-correct and of comely appearance must build from the foundation up. Wherefore, it is as important to have a wardrobe of lingerie as of outer apparel. Which is why creators of modem lingerie are devoting so much of time and talent, thought and study to the fashioning of under garments that because of their perfection of lines and subtle fit, act as “first-aid” toward the charm and style-right ness of one’s costume. The nightgowns this season are nothing if not glamorous. Rich fab rics and colors, beautiful finishes and elaborate lace trimmings mark them with distinction. Mostly they are satin, but you do see some of crept and silk ninon and georgette. Slips, too, are reflecting the in terest in the daintier garments and gone are the utterly tailored effects. They are carefully fitted of course and even when they are not elaborately lace-trimmed as so many are, they still have details of lace and net trimmings, of tiny edgings of val lace to appeal to the well-groomed lady. There are all manner of negli gees and hostess gowns. The satin ones, lavish with lace, are easily the most popular this season. Bed jackets of all shapes and types are more fascinating than ever. Some are made in cape design and tie loosely in front. The model shown in the center inset is of allover lace with wide satin border front. In a way this charming little cape bed-jacket might be classed with the so called lingerie accessories which Paris designers are advocat ing this season. Such, for instance, is the "bib” to be worn over night dresses. It is a grand gift item for a convalescent or in valid. It’s a frilly lace front piece to slip on at a moment’s notice over the "nightie.” The one pictured in the upper inset is done in circular ruffles of lace with ribbon ties about the throat It is said that it is becoming quite a fad to make your own lingerie accessories. Describing the lovely gowns pic tured, the one to the left is of shell pink satin with deep appliqued yoke of Alencon lace in the new light ecru shade which is so good this season. The lovely skirt edge, with its lace slit up the front, features the new trend toward fine details. Soft yellow is used for the in teresting nightdress on the seated figure with its diagonal neckline and one-side shoulder strap. The lace motifs applied are carried out also in the matching slip and panties which form the perfect ensemble. © Western Newspaper Union. CHANTILLY DRESS By CHERIE NICHOLAS Nothing is so flattering, so "new” for dressing up in the afternoon and going on for the evening date as the simple, painstakingly tailored dress of black Chantilly. This dress has the street-length skirt which is so much more popular this year than the cocktail dresses of other seasons. It is especially youthful in design, but is as good for the young matron as for the college girl. Note the little flared pockets which add to the tailored effect. SILKS FOR SPRING STRESS HIGH COLOR Edward Molyneux, style author ity, predicts a riot of color for spring. In monotones as in prints, color is the watchword. A wide range of blue tones is being accented in spring silks. Misty blues and strong purple blues are new, and the middle tones of blue also register. Purple is new ly accented. The capucine range is an impor tant one, highlighting glowing yel low - orange and pumpkin tones. Henna and horsechestnut rank high, with the former striking a new note for evening. A hint of ashes-of-roses overlays the copper range as it is interpreted for resort and spring 1937. Brownish gold is another im portant tone to watch. Beige and other neutral tones are expected to prove important, as a contrast to the vivid color ranges. The red range ranks high. Cherry red, cerise, ashes-of-roses, mauve pink and pale mauve red are lead ing tones. A wide range of green tones in cludes bright yellow green, tur quoise green, reseda green and strong hues. Ten New Hosiery Shades Offered for Next Spring Ten new hosiery shades for next spring are shown in the ad vance hosiery color card just re leased by the Textile Color Card association to its members. The ten colors are: Glamour, a sparkling golden tone; carib, a cop pery hue with a rosy glow; cubatan a new “leather” type of tan; Dal matia; a radiant copper; planza, beige, a warm light beige; swanky, a subtle medium beige; Kona, a lively dark beige; noonday, a sub dued grayish beige; avenue, a me dium neutral beige, and moondusk, a medium grey of taupe cast. 'Twas This Way & By LYLE SPENCER Q Western Newspaper Union. Jazz Music *«'T'HE music goes down around *■ whoa-ho-ho-ho -That tune swept America from coast to coast recently until its vary sound made radio listeners grind their teeth. It also marked the return to popularity of "swing” music. "Swing” or real jazz reached its first peak during the 1920's along with short skirts and flappers. Whether it originated among the natives along the gold coast of Af rica, or in colored orchestras along the gold coast of our larger cities, is still a matter of dispute. At any rate, the first black hero of jazz was Louis Armstrong, who created a sensation in Chicago with his wild trumpet solos of such pieces as "Struttin’ with Some Barbecue,” “Gully Low Blues,” and “A Monday Date.” His early records are still as highly prized by jazz lovers as a Beethoven symphony. After Armstrong came many other famous swing bands like Jean Goldkette’s and Frank Trum bauer’s. But the popularity of jazz began to crumble about 1929 with the stock market. Maybe it is as sociated with business prosperity. The beginning of its comeback dates from the winter of 1935, when “The Music Goes Round and Round” ran riot through the nation. In spite of the fact that jazz has become an American byword, no one seems to know exactly what the word means. Greater Than Napoleon Napoleon bonaparte was probably responsible for the de struction of more human lives than any other man. During the Napole onic wars and those that followed it. five or six million people were killed. Napoleon is well known to every school boy. Yet a man who saved many more lives than Napoleon lost is known only to the small group of people who have read the history of medicine. That man is Edward Jenner, the discoverer of smallpox vaccination. As a young country doctor, Jenner noticed that dairymaids who con tracted cowpox from the cows they milked seldom fell ill with small pox. Cowpox produces sores on the skin much like those of smallpox, except that the disease is very mild. From this, Jenner got the -dea of vaccinating people with cowpox serum to prevent them from having smallpox. He tried it out on his country practice, and found that none of his patients contracted smallpox after wards, even when they were in oculated with smallpox germs. When he finally announced his great dis covery to the world in 1798, a few people received it with great ac claim. But many more opposed it violently, saying that smallpox was a visitation from God as a retri bution for the sins of man. Napoleon used the vaccine on his soldiers, as did a few other far seeing people, but it has taken well over a hundred years for the prin ciple of vaccination to become gen erally accepted. The Social Register THE most exclusive group in New York’s high society suppos edly contains only 400 members. That is a tradition which has come down to us from the days when Mrs. William Astor was the reigning so ciety matron of the city. She lim ited her inner circle to 400 because that was all her ballroom would comfortably hold! The golden age of conspicuous display in American society was during the gay nineties. Those were the days when hostesses tried to outdo each other in the lavishness of the parties they gave. Stories are still told of how guests some times smoked cigarettes rolled in $100 bills and ate oysters on the half-shell, each containing a mag nificent black pearl. At one fancy-dress ball, Mr. Bel mont is said to have worn a suit of gold-inlaid armor made specially for the occasion that cost $10,000. A daughter of One Croesus was sup posed to own a dressing table worth $65,000 and a pair of bejewelled opera glasses valued at $75,000. The nouveau-riche of America tried to ape all the mannerisms of foreign millionaires, even to such things as fox-hunting. The golden age was extravagant and wasteful, but it was one of the most colorful in our nation’s history. Watermelon Not a Native Many jokes have been made at the expense of the colored man's love for watermelon. As a matter of fact the black man was prob ably eating watermelon long before the 'white man ever heard of it It is a native of Africa and may be found growing wild on plains south of the Sahara where t is an important part of the diet of deer and antelope of that region. It is believed the pilgrims brought the first watermelon seeds to America, says Pathfinder Magazine, for in less than ten years after their com ing, melons were plentiful in Mas sachusetts. It found favor with the Indians at once. By 1665 the Florida Indians were cultivating it und ter years later tribes of the W.st Glory Vs. Undernourishment. SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— Because their dictators are piling up armaments and building up armies at a rate unprecedented, the German people must, it appears, go on rations, cutting down their daily consumption of foodstuffs and fats, with the prospect of still more strin gent restrictions. But their overlords—a reasonably uroll.nmlvichad l/-»f 4n indrra hw thm’r photographs — keep right on preaching that such compul sory undernourish ment is all for the greater glory of the vaterland. I know of but one historic parallel to match this. It is to be found in Mother Goose, where it is poetically set forth: There was a piper had a cow Irvin S. Cobb /vna ne naa naugni 10 give ner So he pulled out his pipes and played her a tune And bade the cow consider. • • • Signs of Disapproval. ONCE, in Montana, I heard two cowboys talking about the fath er of the sweetheart of one of them. “I’ve got a kind of a sneaking idea that Millie’s paw don’t care deeply for me,” said the lover. “What makes you think so—some thing he said?” “No, because he don’t never say nothing to me, just sniffs. But the other night I snuck over there to see Millie, and, as I was coming away, I happened to look back and the old man was shoveling my tracks out of the front yard.” The archbishop of Canterbury is likely to wake up any morning and find the British public shoveling his tracks out of the front yards. • • • International “Messifications.” JUST about the time the contest ing groups in Spain lose the twenty or thirty confusing names the correspondents have hung on them and-resolve themselves into the army that’s going to take Ma drid not later than 3 o’clock tomor row afternoon and the army that’s going to keep Madrid until the cows come home, a fresh complication breaks out in China. General Chang gets into a mixup with General Chi ang, possibly on the ground that he’s a typographical error, and the red forces of the north get all twist ed up with the white army of the north and the pink army of the north by northeast and so on and so forth, until the special writers run out of colors. Just one clear point stands out of the messification. When the dust clears away some small brown1 brothers wearing the Japanese uni form will be found sitting on top of the heap. China’s poison is Nip pon’s meat, every pop; • * • Rationalizing the Calendar. THE plan to adopt a rational cal endar is finding favor in admin istration circles at Washington, as in European countries. Every time this proposition — which is so sensible and seemingly unattainable—bobs up, I think of the little story of the venerable Ala bama pessimist who dropped into the general store just in time to hear the proprietor reading aloud from the newspaper that the proj ect for thirteen months of twenty eight days each had been laid for consideration before the League of Nations. “I’m ag’in’ it,” declared the aged one. "It’d be jest my luck for that extry month to come in the win ter time and ketch me short of fodder.” • * • Stunts in the Films. FOR ordinary film stunts, current prices are: Tree fall, $25; stair fall, $50 (each additional flight, $35); head-on auto crash, $200; parachute jump, $150; mid-air plane change, $200; high dive, $75; being knocked down by auto, $75 being knocked down by locomotive, $100; trick horse rid ing, $125; crashing a plane, $1,500. It doesn’t cost a cent, though, for practically every slightly shopworn leading man, on or off the screen, to crave to play “Hamlet” on the stage. But it is almost invariably expensive for the producers who occasionally satisfy these morbid cravings. IRVIN S. COBB. C Western Newspaper Union. Our Early Watches The first watches were produced in all sorts of fanciful designs, with cases shaped like crosses or shells or mandolins, says a writer in the Washington Star. A peculiar fash ion was that of a watch-case shaped like a skull, to remind the owner when he looked at it that time was fleeting and death was drawing near. The lovely and unlucky Mary Queen of Scots had a skull-shaped watch, and in view of her death on the headsman’s block it was gruesomely appropriate. Cavaliers had swords and poniards with little watches set into the hilts. its ' ■ ---— Simple, Practical Frocks WHERE, oh where is the feminine wardrobe that wouldn’t take on momentum through the addition of just these three simple, wearable frocks? Surely like the Model T, it would be hard to find. And the thrilling thing — the important feature — is that these frocks are planned and patterned exclusively for the modern woman who sews—for you, a member of The Sewing Circle. Pattern 1914 is a house dress with a future. It is yourig and practical. The new notched col lar, ending as it does in twin scallops below the yoke line, gives the waist front balance and brightness. The bodice is slightly fulled to make this a comfortable style to work in as well as one that is attractive to look at. The skirt is slim lined and simple— as you would have it. Use dimity, dotted swiss or gingham for this number. Designed for sizes: 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 3% yards of 35 inch material. Pattern 1989 is the polite young model caught with its back this way, perhaps the better to show off thei beautiful shoulders and chicest - of - chic descending lines. You’ll run-up this frock in short order but you’ll wear it endlessly and with that happy confidence which only a style with distinc tion can give. Make it of rasp berry wool crepe and trim the collar, cuffs and hem with royal blue. Pattern 1989 comes in sizes 14, 16, 18 and 20 (32 to 42 bust). Size 16 requires 3 yards of 54 inch material with 5 yards of braid for trimming. Pattern 1206 is a most attractive newcomer to the blouse ’n’ skirt category. An alliance of this sort brings glamour and romance to the gay wearer. Gold or silver metallic cloth, or, perhaps shim mering satin for the blouse with a skirt of velvet will make a mil lion dollar outfit. Make it yours in a couple of hours. It is available iii sizes 14, 16, 18 and 20 (32 to 42 bust). Size 16 requires 2V4 yards of 39 inch material for the blouse and 2 Vs yards for the skirt. The blouse with long sleeves requires 2% yards 39 inches wide. A detailed sewing chart accom panies each pattern to guide you every step of the way.
