Mary Astor is adding the color to this play, with aa astounding number of brilliant gowns, so the story goes. The loveliest of all Miss As tor's gowns for "White Shoulders" Is an evening wrap of silver chiffon with aN huge collar of Iceland fox. This is made with a very full drape across the lower part of the skirt, giving it a graceful full ness. A black velvet wrap occu pies another place la her formal wear, to say nothing of a lovely satin cloak topped with ermine.
