FIFTH AVENUE FASHIONS . .. — By ELLEN WORTH

Slenderizing Lines For Larger Figures Would you like to look slimmer? Here’s the very frock for you—it's still good in size 50! We suggest a smart heavy sheer crepe in Parte’ favorite black and white. There’s a new raven wing blue that’s very chic, too. The wide sailor collar and soft jabot frills are just two of the reasons for the flattery of this dress. The slim, well-proportioned lines of the skirt are another. See how deftly the seaming over the hips accentuates length and slimness! The wide crushed belt would be effective in velvet, with velvetcovered buttons to match. The amateur dressmaker can make it successfully —for there are no difficult sewing details. Size 34 requires 3 yards 39-inch material, % yard 39-inch contrasting for collar and jabots. Width about 1% yard. See the new Fashion Book for many other slenderizing models. Pattern No. 5402 is designed for sizes 32, 34, 36, 38. 40. 42. 44. 46, 48, 50 bust.

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. 193 4 King Fcaturoa s>sndi<*le lot HOLLYWOOD, Cal., — Since everybody else is selecting the 10 best pictures and the 10 best

Bing Cro«by

plays of the year, Bing Crosby enters the field with his idea of the 10 best popular songs of 1933. In the order of their import a n c e. he chooses: “Three Little Pigs,” “The Last Roundup,” “The Day You Came Along.” “Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?” “Night

and Day,’’ “Thanks,” “Talk of the Town,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” "Lazybones” and “Stormy Weather.” There ought to be lots of conflicting opinions on this subject. Let’s hear a few. Guess why Claudette Colbert went to Death Valley for a vacation. Cecil B. De Mille sent her there to gain 15 pounds before she essays the role of Cleopatra in C. D.’s forthcoming epic of the flesh. Not that Claudette’s figure isn’t shapely as it is, but the director says that Cleopatra was one of the most voluptuous sirens in all history and the heroine of his picture must have plenty of curves. Oddly enough, it was De Mille who caused the star to be in her present under-weight condition. He put her through such strenuous location work, crawling on her hands and knees through Hawaiian underbrush, that she lost 12 pounds during the filming of “Four Frightened People.” So Claudette, as she normally tips the scales, is only three pounds short of De Mille’s ideal Cleopatra after all. Dick Arlen went on the air for one night and came back with the simile: “As unhappy as a radio-an-nouncer in the ‘silence’ room of a public library." Without a doubt, Irene Dunne is the most ardent feminine golfer among the film stars. The R-K-0 actress has just installed an elaborate driving range in the back-ya rd of her new Beverly Hills home. She has a 500-yard stretch behind her house and is using 250 of it for the range.

There are flood-lights for night driving and all the fancy modem equipment. As soon as the weather is propitious, Irene is having a put-ting-green installed in some of th* other extra space. The secret behind ail these preparations is the star's ambition to improve her game to the extent that she can enter tournaments in the East next spring. QUICK GLIMPSES Raquel Torres is telling the world that she’s in love again and that boy-friend Stephen Ames is coming to Hollywood early in the new year. . . . Members of the audience at “I Am Suzanne" were that amused when Charlie Chaplin showed up late with a couple of girls, saw that scene in the picture where a puppet imitates him and then walked out. . . , Joan Crawford has just about finished transforming the interior of her house from Spanish to early American style. The beams in the living-room will be the last to go. . . . The Treasury ruling calling in all gold threw dismay into Cecil B. De Mille, who, for years, has carried SIOO in gold coins to jingle in his pockets. In the hopes of getting a special permit, C. D. wrote a letter to his friend, J. T P. O’Connor, Comptroller of Currency. The answer just arrived. Mr. O'Connor says the case is so pitiful that he has referred it to the President Zasu Pitts is so burned over those radio performers who imitate her voice that she
