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.
For resort and country wear, linen
and taffeta are combined In one of
the most striking Informal evening
costumes of the season. The ankle
length skirt Is of white linen, the
short sleeved blouse of gentian blue
and white plaid taffeta and the loose
hip-length coat of the same material.
The hats which go with the town
tail leurs are either very large or very
small. Broad brimmed straws with
flat crowns and small off-the-face
taffeta models are both In vogue

Hobart Bosworth
And Stella Adams
Reunited in Film
HOLLYWOOD Miss Stella Adams
was doing right well in stock, and she
was Just a trifle upset at the sugges
tion that she should take part in
one of those t 'moving pictures," even
though opposite such a stage star as
Hobart Bosworth.
"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

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.
