CLOSELY GUARDED “STAR”

CHINCHILLA EVENING WRAP.

Few Hollywood actresses arrive at a studio with a more watchful escort (or with more complete insurance protection) than does the £7.000 chinchilla evening wrap worn by Loretta Young m "Eternally Yours.” At the close of each day’s 'filming, the valuable garment is returned to the vaults of <t Hollywood furrier for safekeeping and whenever the day's schedule requires its use, two armed guards bring it to the studio. In this Walter Wangcr production. Miss Young has the role of Anita, wife of the "great Arturo,” a master magician, played by David Niven. Arturo loves his wife but the land of make-believe in which he works gives him a somewhat light-

hearted view of the obligations of marriage. Because he is accustomed to doing everything with a lavish hand and materialising everything from a woman to a lighted cigarette out of thin air, his conception of a small gift to divert' his wife's attention from his pecadillos strikes a new high with each digression. To keep Arturo’s character in conformity with his selfmade environment. Producer Wanger has provided the luxurious chinchilla wrap as a symbol of the magician’s carelessness both marital and financial.
