FALK'S La Grande's Better Store New Tailleur For Smart, Informal Dming Out By Rita Ferris (Associated Press Fashion Editor) PARIS l) Tn evening tailleur In new designs and fabrics has a front seat on the summer style stage., So many varied occasions offer op portunity for its wear that more and more smart women here are Includ ing It In their wardrobes. It Is the thing to put on for restaurant din ners, tho theatre and some dancing places when evening gowns and white ties are too formal for the picture. The evening tailleur began with a design combining a black, ankle length skirt and Jacket with, a blouse of contrasting color and now has broadened Its scope to Include frocks and coats of heavy lace, lame and taffeta. Tailored Or Soft' Sometimes It is as tailored as the tweeds one wears on the street, again as soft In design as a satin blouse. But always It aims at an effect of nonchalant simplicity and generally Is worn with a hat. LanvlnM black faille and taffeta town tailleur are among the out standing designs. They combine an Instep -length skirt and jacket with a blouse of scarlet taffeta or white or gandy and are worn with olt-the-fnce hats In the same fabric as the suit, Other designers have launched tail leurs In rustling navy blue taffeta with blouse of plaid or flowered or gandy, or taffeta woven with a metal thread. The blouses are generally designed with fairly high necklines and a sug gestion of sleeves to fit Into the In formal atmosphere of the suit. Gold or silver shimmer appears in some of the more formal models. One designer combines a blue violet crepe skirt and big sleeved jacket with a gold lame blouse, and another unites a black and white striped net suit with a silver lame blouse. Iaoy HeMlRiis, Too Softer, lacier designs also are seen Molyneux fashions a beige lace frock having a long tailed brown and nas turtium girdle of chiffon with a five- eighths-length lace Jacket, and an other designer combines a smoky blue crepe suit with a chiffon, blouse of the same hue.

"Mr. Boggs," she told the movie director who approached her, "do you think I'm going to run up and down the streets, nil painted up, for the populace to gaze at?" But Francis Boggs reassured her. and Stella Adams made her debut in motion pictures May 8. 1900. Twenty-five years ago that was. and It was an auspicious date. "The Power of the Sultan," in one reel, made In two days In the back yard of a Chinese laundry, was the first film ever produced In Los Angeles. Meet 25 Years loiter Twenty-five years later to the day, Hobart Bosworth and Btella Adams were reunited in a picture. It was on location for "Whom The , Oods De stroy" that Bosworth recalled the significance ot the date nnd dis covered Stella Adams, his one-time leading lady, among the character players in his company. Bosworth in that quarter of a cen tury had remained in films, becom ing an established name and at one time a star. Miss Adams, after making several "features' like "Power of the Sultan," had gone back to the stage. But she returned, and from 1011 to 1010 she was a well-paid featured character actress on the Christy pay roll beginning at the old Nestor studio which were the first In Hollywood. She retired then for 10 years, but returned to take occasional roles In pictures. MLss Adams, a pleasant, matronly type now. smiles as she recalls nottiu in W..:ri TALK'S La Grande's Better Store of the details of the first production. Pictures even then, she remarks, bor- j rowed themes from current events. There had been some historic vents in Turkey she has forgotten their nature now and "Power of the Sultan" was made to "capitalise on public Interest." She played a girl who was held captive In a Turkish hare in, to.be rescued by dashing Ho bert Boawnrth. Tom Santsctit, later a noted screen actor but now dead, was also In the cast. Huh, No Regrets "The actors did a little bit of every thing, besides acting." she recalls. "Tom Santschl, for Instance, used to help build the scenery. Sets? We really hadn't any. The scenery was Just painted oh a back-drop. When we opened a door, the walls, chairs, tables, everything waved In the breeder Had Bhe remained In films Instead of retiring. Miss Adams might have maintained a degree of fame and even become a character star in the talkies.
