The kiss is merely the symbol for the emotion of love. It is the emotion and not the act which the player wishes to recall—and record.” New York's Fifth Deputy Police Commissioner, Bilen O'Grady, has long been embattled against overdone osculation as shown on the screen. The movie audience itself is observed to wriggle uncomfortably after the fifth or sixth foot of film has been kiss laden, We recall a recent photoplay in which the salute of love actually “took the count,” as Mr, Willard would put it, before the fade-out was made. The fade-in showed the same tableau, but with the promptly fol- lewing words, “Not the same kiss.” ‘The audience breathed freer, putting its tacit approval upon the curtailed article. Altogether it looks as though the quick, crisp kiss would be the screen kiss of the near future. . ‘There are not lacking, however, those who are firm for the long- drawn demonstration, the elastic kiss, ‘as it were. Their argument is to the effect that kisges are not Hke potatt'|' ‘chips, wherein crispness and enap- piness are desirable qualities. ? “There should be no fixed rule,” de- poses Daphne Glenn, one of the lead- ing British film favorites. |. “Different types of heross and heroines |have different types of. film ! feelings.

N spite of the gold of July sunshine, | these are gray days, and both the 1% outlook and an occasional fleeting little look-im are equally ashen-hued. Gray has long been considered a demure and trifle. sombre color scheme, but there is nothing demure or sombre about the newest silver tongued lingerle of moire Georgette lorepe. It 1s as coquettishly and friv- |olously worldly aa even a summer siren could desire. It seems as if it were fashioned from the fairy cob- webs of dreams, or ag if some magic fingers had captured the elusive smoke wreaths from a poet's pipe, laid them out upon @ cutting table and whacked them into camisoles, combinations and chemises for a per- fect 36. / Plain, save for a wee filet of Cluny edge and the gleam ef shiny two- toned satia ribbons in flesh, pale blue, mauve or corn color, these sheer and fairy garments rely for their main beauty on the lovely silyer ripples of the gray moire material, In fact they are ajmost tailored in their chaste severity of line, The use of the double faced two-toned satin ribbon is also a new note on the new nighties and everything, and is the only form of two-facedness that has much in its favor, . Parisiennes' feet have for long time since been clothed to simulate the lit- tle gray mice of Bobble Burns imag- ery, only they have a long way to peep out, since the skirts of Paris are still knee high.
