Spring Bride in Lovely Array;
Dutch Lace Bonnet Is in News
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
^PRINGTIME is bridetime and
this year those who cater to the
bride-to-be clientele report a re
newed interest in the traditional
wedding with all its picturesque
frills and furbelows. Even if the
event needs must be hurriedly tuned
to the bridegroom’s brief furlough,
there is a special service available
in many shops and departments de
voted to outfitting the bride and her
attendants at a few hours’ notice.
For the bride-to-be that clings to
the idea of a picture wedding such
as has been her dream of dreams,
the stately gown of gleaming white
satin with its imposing long train
maintains its style prestige as of
yore. This spring these sumptuous
satins have a way of taking on be
guiling touches of pearl embroidery
about neckline and sleeves. The
latest models are coming in with
pearl-embroidered midriff sections.
A charming innovation also, is the
huge bustle bow at the back, which
achieves a refreshingly new sil
houette.
Lace enters definitely into the
spring wedding picture, either in
the all lace gown or combined with
chalk white crepe. There is also a
decided trend toward the lheerest of
sheer materials for the youthful
bride-to-be. The gowns fashioned of
mousseline de soie, marquisette,
net and dotted swiss are visions of
loveliness.
Recognizing that much of the
glamour, romance and prettiness of
the bride depends upon the head
dress and veil arrangement, design
ers are turning their time and
talent to creating lovelies to wear
on the prettily coiffed heads of both
the bride and her bridesmaids.
These are so varied there is sure
to be some one outstanding type
so flattering to the bride it
seems as if it must have been
made just for her.
The attractive coronet which
the bride in the picture is wear
ing is made of the same fine il
lusion as that which fashions
tne rasnionaoie short-lengtn veil.
With utmost artistry the designer
has interlaced folds of the illusion
over a wire support into a lattice
effect. This beautiful model, so
classic in its simplicity is regarded
as one of tne outstanding success
fashions of the season.
The big highlight in the spring wed
ding picture will be the little Dutch
bonnets of starched lace. They come
in flattering off-face types that flare
out wide from side to side, also in
cunning little baby-bonnet types and
they are simply adorable, worn by
either bride or bridesmaids.
They are perfectly charming in pas
tel for the bride’s attendants lend
ing themselves beautifully to cos
tume color schemes.
The furlough bride, who wears a
youthful suit in some one or other
of the lovely pastels so fashionable
this spring, can wear nothing pret
tier or more flattering than an off
face starched lace Dutch bonnet,
either matching the pastel of her
suit or frock or in white, if her
costume is in the new pussy-willow
gray. Another grand thing about
these cunning little bonnets is that
worn later on with light cotton
frocks they will be just "darling.”
Since bridesmaids are expected to
play a decorative role, designers are
turning out just one intriguing
novelty after another that will add
charming accent to their costumes.
One of the most eye-thrilling whim
sies shown this season is the set of
hat and muff that is made either of
dainty net of sheerest mesh or en
tirely of ostrich in delicate pastels.
The bridesmaid, shown to the left,
is carrying a wispy muff matching
her off-face crownless brim that is
elusively sheer. The long stream
ers at the back tune to the color of
each costume.

New Border Print
This eye-appealing Easter cos
tume is a glowing example of what
is meant in the "dress-up-for
spring" slogan which the world of
fashion has adopted as its very own
this season. The border print of
which it is made is one of the fash
ionable color-on-white background
types that are making conversa
tion this spring. It has the button
down-front fastening that has taken
on new fashion emphasis this sea
son. The pert little hat made all of
white violets sings a spring song
which is echoed in the exquisite
openwork patent shoes and the Im
maculate white gloves.
Coats Are Gay Little
Flatterers This Year
When the new coats come out
you’ll know it’s spring for they are
as colorful as the flowers that
bloom. The pastels and the exquis
ite off-whites together with a soft
feminine styling does something to
the new coats that carries them en
tirely out of the ordinary. The new
short lengths for coats and the flare
at the back interprets an animated
silhouette that is very youthful and
flattering to most any figure. In
tricate stitching, glamour buttons,
dramatic light fur on the cuffs,
sometimes braidwork and trapunto
quilting, embroidered design and the
use of self-fabric bows on the dres
sier designs speak for ultra style
distinction. Fashion spotlights the
white coat and it has a big future
ahead. The whites that are in the
news are the off-whites such as
white wine, and subtle tints that
give the impression of being white.
Hat and Bag Sets Made of
Gaylv Colored Soft Yarns
It’s color, color, color that reigns
supreme in the fashion world this
Easter, and along comes the pret
tiest hat-and-bag sets made of
featherweight yarn to tell you so.
These colorful whimsies breathe
the very breath of spring in their
delicate coloring and how charm
ing they will look worn with the Eas
ter costume. The new peach-basket
shape hat together with its match
ing roomy under-arm bag throws
your whole costume in a joyous
mood. They interpret the highest in
needlepoint craft.
Sharp Change in Hats Coming
It promises to be a season of
startling contrasts in hats. Some are
towering to remarkable height. Oth
ers are that flat they are made of
straw plaques arranged on a ban
deau to tip over the forehead in the
manner of the charming little
chapeaux so admired in Watteau
portraiture.

HE Hasty Heart,” one
of the best plays of this
New York season, has been
bought for the screen by
Warner Bros., which is fine
news for movie-goers, for al
though it is laid against the
background of the war even
those who have been avoiding all
war plays and pictures will enjoy it.
“The Hasty Heart” is deeply touch
ing, yet it is charming and highly
amusing, and the love story touches
the heart. Paramount has signed one
of the leading men, John Lund,
who’s tall and blond—this is his first
JOHN LUND
Broadway appearance, and if the
movies do right by him he’ll prob
ably remain in Hollywood for some
time after he arrives there this
summer.

When Bruce Cabot enlisted in the
army air forces two years ago, two
other members of the household
also joined up. His Filipino house
boy joined the army, and his pet
Boxer, Fritz, joined the canine
corps. Cabot, on inactive duty, re
sumed his picture career in “Salty
O’Rourke”; the houseboy was dis
charged and is back at work—but
Fritz, the canine, is still in the serv
ice.

Four years ago Cecil Kellaway be
gan collecting English accents, now
has an extensive library of phono
graph records, ranging from the
speech of the Yorkshiremen to the
broadest Cockney. He’s had agents
throughout the English - speaking
world helping him.

Dick Powell got just what he’d
wanted for years when he landed
the role of the shrewd, hard-boiled
detective in “Murder, My Sweet.”
He left Warner Bros, because he
was tired of doing musicals and
light comedies and they wouldn’t
give him anything else; not until
Charles Koerner, of RKO, came to
his rescue could he get a really
dramatic part. He’s so good in it
that now he needn’t do singing films
unless he wants to.
-rfe 1 —
A visit to see their father work
in RKO’s “First Man in Tokyo”
landed Beverly and Angelo Loo, 13
year-old Chinese-American twins, in
the movies. They’ll play victims of
Jap brutality—and the sinister colo
nel who mistreats them is played
by their father!

Eleven years ago Ken Roberts of
“Quick as a Flash,” joined five
friends to form “The Association
Players”; all wanted to be actors.
They were Everett Sloane of “Crime
Doctor” and “A Bell for Adano”;
Paul Stewart, movie producer for
David Selznick; Carl Eastman of
“Counterspy” and other radio
shows; Ethel Everett of the Kate
Smith hour, and Fred Uttall of
“The Lion's Roar.” And that's not
so bad!

After Warner Bros, announced
that the “Janie” series would be
dropped, because of Joyce Reynolds'
retirement from the screen, so
many protesting letters were re
ceived that “Janie Gets Married”
will soon be under way, with Joan
Leslie as the new heroine.

Radio’s summer replacements
are getting set. Wayne King and his
orchestra will take Jack Benny's
place, beginning June 3, and the
Jerry Wayne show will change from
Mondays to Sundays, replacing Joe
E. Brown.

Comment cards from the sneak
preview of Paramount’s “Miss

wards has begun to build up a big
fan following, so studio executives
are looking for starring vehicles
for him.
