Suede Fashions Due for Big
Vogue This Fall and Winter
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
TF YOU have not already been con-
A verted into a suede way of think-
ing, you will when you see the fasci-
nating things designers are doing
with handsome suede for the com-
ing fall and winter. In a wide range
of colors, never so beautiful, never
so exquisitely supple and never be-
fore so versatile for all purposes,
suede has reached the point where
it is regarded as a staple medium
for the making of smart apparel.
No matter from what fashion an-
gle the approach is made, suede
qualifies as the perfect answer.
There’s nothing smarter on the
boards for fall than a coat or a jack-
et, a suit or a one-piece dress made
of suede. As to accessories of suede
the rich colors of suede and its de-
lightsome yield to deft handling is
revealed throughout a whole list of
bags and hats, belts, gloves and
footwear that add the swank touch
to goodlooking costumes.
Women of keen fashion-sense like
suede because it not only has proved
to be dependably wearable and prac-
tical, but when it comes to color
suede is positively glamorous and
stands in a class all its own when
it comes to interpreting a new high
in fashion.
Destined to be adored is the little-
boy jacket done in suede as shown
to the left in the illustration. It is
collarless with slightly padded shoul-
ders. It boasts of three large patch
pockets. Helen Wood, glamour girl
of 1940 in filmland, chooses this
jacket in a gold nugget hue to wear
over a moss green suede dress.
Any school-faring girl will do well
to include in her wardrobe a suede
ensemble after the manner of the
model shown to the right. Here you
see Rosemary De Camp, dramatic
cinema actress, in a one-piece dress
made of porcelain blue suede. Soft-
ness is achieved by a fulness gath-
ered in under the slash pockets on
the waist. The only trimming de-
tail is a thong lacing outlining the
neckline and the invisible slide fast-
ener down the front. You will love
this dress in any of the new colors.
Part of the glory and romance of
the new suede costumes is that
hats to match are ever available.
You can get a sort of college girl
mortar-board type such as crowns
the pretty head of the figure stand-
ing, or if you like the cunning match-
ing hat inspired by a bellhop cap as
you see pictured in the inset below,
shops and departments carry both
types.
Society has taken to vacationing
in the far West where picturesque
“dude” ranches offer fascinating
sport and diversion. Part of the fun
is “when you are in Rome do as
Romans do,” which is to say in this
connection, adopt cowboy costumes.
At least this is what fashion is do-
ing, playing on the theme in a way
to dazzle the eye with the novelty
and chic of slacks and even dresses,
and blouses and jackets made of
suede or other fanciful leather. And
here’s where suede comes into its
own in all its glory, in just such
attractive outfits as the white leath-
er Western riding habit centered in
the picture. The fringed skirt is ac-
cented by studs of silver. The boots
and fringed bolero are similarly
treated.

inevitable easy-to-slip-on jacket that
is indispensable when cool breezes
announce that autumn days are
here. The pick of them all, in the
estimation of fashion-wise college
girls and their younger school-far-
ing sisters is the jacket that is made
of bright red corduroy. A grand
twosome for early fall days on the
campus or for general wear when
the tang of autumn calls for com-
fortable wraps is a jacket of stop-
light red corduroy such as is pic-
tured here, topped with a matching
hat of the identical corduroy.
Pompadour Styles
Fix Hat Fashions
The revival of the pompadour
comes to some of us as a surprise,
but here it is and no mistake, smug-
gled in under the guise of a group
of flattering curls or some other
softly arranged coiffure that is real-
ly very flattering. If there is one
thing more than another that we are
learning this season it is that the
new hat fashions have to a certain
extent been greatly influenced by
the return of the pompadour.
Toque and Turban
Fashions Arriving
Coming in are a series of toque
and turban fashions that suggest
the quaint bonnets worn in the six-
ties. You wear them back of the
pompadour and the inspiring note
about these little chapeaux are they
are becoming to youth and to the
not so young, as well. In fact for
the matronly type these turbans and
toques solve the pompadour hat
problem perfectly. An older woman
who could under no circumstances
venture to wear a wide brim posed
back on the head such as the teen
age delights in, finds that the little
draped toques are a triumphant so-
lution.
Also there is comfort in the
thought that milliners are designing
smart hats that are intended to dip
over the brow, that tune to the new
style demands every whit as smart-
ly as do the excitingly new pompa-
dour effects.
Gold Jewelry Will
Be Worn This Fall
In spite of the fact that gold jew-
elry has been somewhat out of the
picture for a brief spell comes re-
ports to the effect that it has again
come to the fore in the style pic-
ture. However, the new gold jewel-
ry that will enliven smart black
jersey dresses and those of sheer
wools, is not of the garish spectacu-
lar type. There is exquisite refine-
ment expressed in subtle detail and
workmanship in the incoming neck-
laces, bracelets, pins, clips and la-
pel ornaments.
Fringe and Lacing
Decorative Trims
Soft fringe and lacing are two
decorative trims used together on a
pretty pair of white linen shoes
shown by a New York designer. The
shoe is a very high-heeled pump
laced up the toe and down the back
of the shank. The throat of the
pump is edged with a rim of nar-
row fringe repeated in a straight
band below each crossed lacing on
the toe.

TJOLLYWOOD is all agog
tl over a contest that’s to
take place on August 25th at the
RKO studios. The participants
are Jack Oakie and George
Bancroft, and the event is—of
all things!—a table-setting con-
test!
It all started when a Los
Angeles department store
persuaded ten prominent men
about town to set tables
as each thought they should
be set. Oakie and Bancroft
saw the exhibit, and the argument
was on, each being perfectly sure
that he could out-do the other if ever
—heaven forbid—he had to set a ta-
ble. First thing they knew, they’d
arranged the contest; the only rules
are that they’ll use modern Ameri-
VIVIAN LEIGH
can glassware and keep expendi-
tures down to $40. The loser will
set a table and serve dinner for 16
of the winner’s friends.
Vivian Leigh and Laurence Oliv-
ier are to be co-starred in a story
based on the romance of Lord Nel-
son and Lady Hamilton, an Alex-
ander Korda picture. Remember-
ing what a superb picture he made
of “Henry the Eighth,” it seems
certain that his version of the fa-
mous love story of the famous ad-
miral will be one of the year’s best
pictures.
Phyllis Kennedy ought to succeed
if anybody should—first she broke
her back, and later she accepted ad-
vice that wasn’t very good and lost
a grand opportunity—and now she’s
started toward the top again.
In 1933 she was dancing with a
troupe in Denver, and fell and frac-
tured he* spine. Doctors said she’d
never walk again. Two years later
she was dancing once more. She
was engaged for chorus work in the
Astaire-Kogers musicals, and her
gift for comedy got her the role of
the maid in “Stage Door.” Warner
Brothers offered her a contract,
but she, hesitated, let people tell her
what to do, and the chance slipped
away.
She‘s working now in “Honey-
moon for Three,” and Lloyd Bacon,
who’s directing, is helping by build-
ing up her role. Watch her—she’s
bound to get ahead this time!
Douglas Fairbanks Jr. may have
been something of a playboy some
years ago, but now he’s nothing if
not a solid citizen. Married happi-
ly, and the proud father of a three-
year-old daughter, he’s not only the
star of Columbia’s “Before I Die,”
but its co-producer as well. That
means being on the set early and
late, whether he’s appearing before
the cameras or not.
The girls of Hollywood are wear-
ing red, white and blue these days.
Penny Singleton appeared at a bene-
fit in a cotton evening gown hav-
ing a white skirt and a bodice that
was red and blue; Anita Louise, told
to wear a novelty necklace in “I’m
for Rent,” chose a silver chain from
which were suspended miniature
flags of the 23 American countries;
Evelyn Keyes has a red, white and
blue straw hat, and Frances Robin-
son’s leather handbag has a flag on
either side.
Uncle Ezra’s Rosedale Silver Cor-
net Band rehearses longer than the
actors on that popular radio pro-
gram, just to achieve those peculiar
off-key effects that drive music lov-
ers mad. The reason the band has
to rehearse so long to sound so dis-
cordant is that each man is an ac-
complished musician; “We work
harder than Toscanini,” declared
Director Bruce Kamman, “Just to
perfect a musical mistake!”
Paramount’s going to do right
handsomely by Joel McCrea—he’s
been assigned to the lead in “Bot-
any Bay,” a story by James Nor-
man Hall, one of the authors of
“Mutiny on the Bounty.”
“Bottom Bay” is one of those high-
ly dramatic tales, laid in the period
just after the American Revolution.
Jean Hersholt’s dream of years, a
Hollywood home for aged and in-
capacitated film workers, is soon to
be a reality. As president of the
Motion Picture Relief fund, he and
members of the organization’s ex-
ecutive committee will soon begin
looking for a site for the home.
They have more than a half million
dollars, earned by the stars who do-
nated their services to the CBS
i Screen Guild program so that the
| money could go into the fund.

especially planned to do its part
toward figure-flattery, and to fit
as only a slip you make to your

extra fullness. The waistline is
dart-fitted so that it melts into
your middle just beautifully.
These are simple details, very
easy to do, but they make all the
