ABSOLUTELY e - G s s st THE MAN WHO NEVER TOOK HIS HAT OFF BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, April 28 (N.AN.A).— The sudden shift in styles from daring to dignity brought about one of the) most amusing sights Hollywood has seen these many years. Gowns once worn by movie stars and now antiquated because of this complete oconversion of the feminine element to waist lines and long frocks were auc-| tioned off Saturday at one of the stu-| dios at the direction of Hal Wallis, an | 8° executive. Clothes aggregating more | than $25,000,000 in value brought about | $1,500 at the sale. But the most interesting thing about the proceeding was a study of the vary- ing types who clamored to own a gown once worn by Billie Dove, Dorothy Mackail, Alice White, Marilyn Miller, Lila Lee or Loretta Young. In the past no star ever wore a frock twice. But the gowns designed at tre- mendous cost were saved by the studios and made over for minor actresses to ‘wear in later pictures. Eventually they resched the stage where they were handed out to extras. But some 200 gowns turned onto the suction block were beyond all this. ‘They were knee length and often back- less. They had been designed for the most lithe beauties the world knows, and they were bought largely by heavy- hipped ladies with work-roughened hands or by high-school girls. ‘The school contingent fought for Alice White's dresses and paid $7.50 for them, - although they are behind the 1.

Proprietress of a gulp-and-grab counter—which is one of Hollywood's ways of designating a quick-lunch joint— near the studio_bought a black velvet wn worn by Billie Dove. A studio electrician who is one of her steady customers tipped her off to the big bargain, and she was there to battle for it with a $12 bid, although the wardrobe girl, sizing her herculean fig- ;xre}.lwlrnzd her it would be a total loss o her. “You've no idea what I can do with it, dearies,” she protested, stretching the slim garment across her buxom propor- tions. “I used to be a seamstress. But it is really the only first-class evening gown I've had in years. And what a figure I'll make in my own social set!” And she proudly bore it off with a triumphant smile on her face. Overstuffed ladies of 40 and up seemed to be bent on the somewhat shopworn grandeur of discarded neg- liges. They trailed the passe laces and limp pastel chiffons about with little chirps of satisfaction. Many a suppressed desire will be realized there—dreams of a luxury never to be attained and not marred now by the fact that it is a trifle shop- worn. (Copyright, 1930.) All the Wrecks Aren’t at Sea.
