Madame Nazimovs
Believes women dress for women

—not for men.
Thinks women should wear any-

thing "they can get away
with."

Never wears jewels as she believes
they detract from personality.

 

 

Nasimova the exotic, emotional act-

tho death scene in “Dagmar" and

ed. As she laid there she looked like
Over her vivid

heelless.

"Clothes?" she asked. shrugging
hsr expressive shoulders. If I told you
the truth I would say that they do not
interest me at all. Clothes are merely
a background for a personality and
they should always be that—a back-
ground."

Nuimova speaks, with a charming‘

accent using hands and arms when
in want of an American catchwnrd or
phrase to express herself.

"A woman should weas- whatever
she can—what is it you saw—set
away with! She should never wear

they are becoming to her. The same
things applies to her actions. I. my-
self. detest this "baby talk" which so
many women use, but
talk thus and get away with it,
her do so."

"What a contrast your street clothes
are to those you wear on the stage!"
I said. looking at the simple coat and
henshaploss little hat hanging on a.
nail behind her.

"Ah yes." she smiled. “There is all
the difference in the world. On the
stage I dveso to suit my personality.
0n the street to suit my size. I am
so small that you see I could not wear
olothes for street that are too individ‘
ual. Off the stage I dress as I feel
most comfortable. I wear sport cloth-
so a great deal and always I like my
skirts wide enough so that I can walk
easily."

"Do you walk much?" I askrd.

She tossed her heavy mop of bobb-
ed hair. "No—I am. in fact. lazy. I

cept swimming. There I have free-
dom of motion and that is one thing
clothes should always allowo—freedom
of motion. For swimming I always
' wore black one-piece suits until the
"pollcs interfered with them."

But surely you must care some-
thing about pretty clothes." I inter-
rupted.

“I am s. woman.’ she smiled, “so I
suppose I must. Do you know what
I like best? Pajamas! I wear them all
the day. They are not. the sort one
sleeps in but are more like mandarin
suits. I have them in all colors-—

sary for me. Fashionable lines mean
nothing. I could show you dozens of
dresses all made exactly aliko— all
cut in one piece. Sometimes there is
an exquisite girdle or a little (Rapping
at one side, but always they are very
simple."

Her. Nazlmova drew with a pencil
on the wall behind her s. childish
sketch of her favorite silhouette. It
was the sort of dress one makes for
paper dolls.

"I often use a corsngo of real flow-
on for decoration." she said. “I adore
