be not only novel hot significant
as well: and the films that hare
made his name a synonym for

now being considered objectively.
Hitchcock's latest scroen as
signment has heen David O. Sels
aick'a new United Artists release.
"Rebecca, which is now on view
at the Elsinore theatre. Although
this picture, unlike the previous
films directed by Hiteheock, is
faithful transcription of a popu
lar best-eeller. It is neTertheless
present tire of the famous film
maker's technique. For Da phone
Mu Maurier wrote "Rebecca" as
If she had Hitchcock in mind;
ntd the book follows the psy
chological -formula of all his
films. ':."(' . , : --It
Is this formula' that holds
such fascination for the. academic
ians of the cinema's thought-processes.
They speak of it as "the
corollary of eoaetive clreumstan-
tiai coadaptatlon," which.- in
plainer English, means the ability
of Hitchcock' characters 'to rise
(or descend) to the odd circum
stances " Into : which : they, are
plunged by his movies. It is his
method to subject ordinary people
to extraordinary happenings, to
surround .respectable, middle
class citizens with an atmosphere
of crime,, of horror, of adventure.
Ills heroes are quiet young, men.
his victims are family folk: en
gaged fn peaceful, unexciting oc
cupations. Suddenly they fiad
heroic, roles thrust upon them.
"Rebecca, as It happens. Is no
exception to the rule that has
been proved by other Hitchcock
successes. Laurence Olivier as
Max de Winter and Joan Fon
taine as his young second wife
are merely two people in love,
wanting only . the right, to peace
and quiet and happiness together.
hen they come to ManderUy,
owever, they discover circum
stances driving- them to actions
and Heroisms.

"Such "lists are' downright ri
diculous unless you choose from
a specific group of women, women
of the same income bracket or
earning capacity or confine it
to a specific roomful.
" "There are women superbly
gowned by neighborhood dress
makers or their own good taste
and discretion in purchasing
ready-made clothes and having
them perfectly fitted to their
own figures. ' !
"In my estimation, the best
dressed women can be found
among 'those who earn or hive
an income of from lit to $200
a week. They have .to budget,
plan, organize their spending and
exercise intelligence.
Secretaries Smart
"I have seen many office work
ers who have the smartest i of
grooming," he continues, fin
studios and out. In Illustration
let's take a secretary here at the
studio, whose style impressed me.
"She is Fay Moore, and she's
perfectly dressed, entirely under
her own motivation, her own good
taste, her own careful, budgeted
planning. She tells me she buys
all her clothes, because 'she hasn't
the patience to stand for fittings.
She can spend but a, small per
centage of her salary on clothes,
yet I believe I could take her to
the swankiest restaurant and she
would be as well or more smartly
attired than any woman present.
Incidentally, she says she rarely
has jnora than three or tour ensembles.-
two for office wear;
which "i she varies with different
accessories, one for afternoon and
one for dinner."
