DRAMA IN DRESS

VARIED COSTUMES IN NANCY CARROLL'S LATEST PICTURE. "STOLEN "HEAVEN." A partial conception of the range of clothing ideas^which a studio stylist must have at her finger-

tips is offered by Carolyn Putnam designed the clothes the Paramount New York picture making studio. Miss Putnam designed the clothe which Nancy Carroll wears

in "Stolen Heaven," the theatre attraction for - the

Majestic on February 8, 9 and 10. In "Stolen Heaven" the costumes varied from a dress that a chorus girl out of work would wear to

a most exquisite type of evening gown. An enumeration of the most important costumes worn in the film includes: — A cheap chorus girl type

of dress with a wide leather belt worn at a very liic'h wnist: linp. with frills

O — J — around neck and sleeve. around neck and sleeve. An afternoon tea gown of ehartreuse chiffon, long skirt, puff sleeves, crown neck-line. A large hat. of stitched organdie, fashioned on the line of a French fisherman's hat, with a very long back. This is a copy of a Suzzanne Talbot model. A black and white bathing suit of satin, futuristie in design, but not bizarre. An evening gown of white georgette, embroidered in bands of silver,

long and graceful with a flare below the knee. The evening wrap worn with this dress is of silver and white lame, trimmed with luxurious collar and euffs of red fox fur. A satin negligee with the new empire waist line, trimmed with bands of ermine. The action of "Stolen Heaven" changes rapidly from drab, backstreet New York to fashionable Palm Beach, as it traces the adventures of Nancy Carroll and Phillips Holmes, leading male player, down-and-out young people, on their last mad fling at life, in the course of which they discover that love gives an overwhelming meaning to life. Each change of action, each shift of scene required its own interpretation in the clothes designed for Nancy Carroll.
