BEST DRESSED MEN

ADOLPHE MENJOU’S LIST. Perennially included among the best-dressed men in the world. Adolphe Menjou, the suave sophisticated star of filmdom has compiled his own list of seven men to end all lists of satorially perfect gentlemen. Menjou was prompted to compile the list after a particularly hectic morning at the Columbia Studios during the filming of “Golden Boy” under the direction of Rouben Mamoulian. According to his own computation he received eleven different queries about masculine attire. The seven gentlemen, considered by Menjou to be the criterions of taste in dress, include, the Duke of Windsor, Lucius Beebe, Grover VZhalen, Fred Perry, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Anthony Eden and the Aga Khan. “Every man has his own taste in dress, and his own conception of clothing,” said Menjou. “What might appear appropriate to an athlete would not meet with the approval of a statesman. For this reason my selection spans a broad field ... or of royalty, athletes, statesman, financiers, and journalists.” Menjou portrays the role of the noted sports world figure from Tom Moody in the Columbia screen version of Clifford Odets’s stage success. “Golden Boy,” with Barbara Stanwyck, who has just married Robert Taylor, and William Holden, who is the long sought “Golden Boy.”
