. "Becausoffllms are often made six
months before shoWn. we must be the
forerunners of fashion. rather than a
min-or of the mode. But more than
that, We must also anticipate the
vagaries of social opinion.
"For instance. the vamp and the
flapper is again being superseded by
the sweet. soft type of girl. The
movies quickly follow indications of
such trend. That means that I must
stress the soft. clinging cflects in
garments in place of the glittering.
voluptuous trappings.
"It has proven rather dimcult to
impress women audiences who seek
fashion hints on the screen that we
endeavor not alone to show smart
things but in addition to have them
at the characters and proprioties of
the particular play.

designers must be artists, not dross-
makers. I have 125 assistants. I
teach them to drape the figure. rather
than to sew. And I seldom work
from a pattern.
"I drape the material on.the fitted
forms of our leading women. practi-
cally, finishing the garment. thus.
often without a single adjustment.
"Gloria Swanson. for example. sol-
dom has even one fitting. Pola Negrl.
on the other hand. often requires
three or four. Gloria prefers to do
dramatic things in lighter clothes.
while Polaprefers black. It helps
stat-s to have garments in harmony
with their respective temperaments.
"The few shades the screen shows.
gives not the slightest idea of the
brilliant colors. used on the set. If

could work. Color stimulates them
