$20 50 Suit

Color, Fit and: Style Chief|

‘Factors, He Says.

- : HOLLYWOOD, May 16 (U:P.).— The tailors won't like this, but Rudy Vallee says $35 is plenty to pay for a suit and still be well dressed, and that usually a $20.50 number will get by all right. ! : He declares he never goes above those figures, but he has a reputation of being one of the best dressed

men in Hollywood. He says it’s just 8 matter of getting color, fit and style right.

“Care in selection,” he said at the

studios where hé is working in a comedy called “Too Many Blondes,” “is much more important than how much money you pay.” He probably could get into a first rate argument with Adolphe MenJjou,: dnother “best dressed” gentle-. man, who belongs to the school favoring paying high prices for the st materials, then wearing the garments longer. On however, Mr. Vallee will agree with Mr. Menjou. When shopping - for these he searches for the best obtainable. A 49-cent tie will always “look just like 49 cents, he said. Same ‘idea with shoes, in addition to’ which the higher priced ones will last longer. In “Too Many Blondes” Mr. Vallee wears one of his $35 tuxedos. It ~ is a double-breasted model with a shawl collar. - His role required that he run into

the ocean wedring the tuxedo, and|

as a result it. was necessary that he have at least two more, like it for repeating the scene. Wardrobe experts searched the

town but couldn’t find two more just}

. like ,Rudy’s original. They had to

have them custom made. Cost: $150 |

each.

' CAB CALLOWAY,: who's made a small mint out of . hi-de-ho, is out now: with the suggestion that an all-Negro symphony orchestra

be formed. to tour-the country.

“Such an. orchestra,” said the Cab, “can tour the United States, Mexico, all of South America and Australia and play to enough people to cover all the operating costs. “Who knows but that.some composer may be - developed whose music. will: become immortal or that another Toscanini or a Stokow-

ski might be fostered. The opportunities are endless.”

Line Up, Girls!

SWAMPED WITH young folk who wanted to get in the movies

as well as” wishing to get their names in the public prints, Cecil B. De Mille: devised a, mail-order “screen test.” It's like this: There are two sets of five questions each. You can give yourself ‘up to 20 points on each question (but to cheat is only to cheat yourself, teacher said). For instance, if the answer to a question is “yek, maybe,” perhaps you should give yourself. 15 of the 20 possible points. If it’s “no, almost,” then give yourself five. Whereupon you subtract your score for the second set from the score for the: first. If you wind up with a plus 70 or better, then go on out to Hollywood and sign the contract, or something. And so now, settle back and get ready for .the first -quiz: 1. In reading a novel, are you inclined to imagine yourself one of the characters? 2. Do you follow your own taste in clothes, even when it.conflicts with current fashion? 3. Can you keep a secret? (Sure?) 4. Are you popular? (Be honest!) 5.. Are, you . capable of honest self-criticism? If you're still following, here's the second set: 1. Do you’ blush easily? (why dearie!) +2. Are you careless about your personal appearance? ° 3. Are you easily discouraged? 4. In your work, are you inclined to “let well enough alone?” 5. Do» you dislike other women? Everyone will now add up their scores, throw them in. the air ahd run out and play.

Vot's Dat, Brudder?

WILLIAM ROERICH, handsome young fellow who plays the romantic lead in “The Pursuit of Happiness” at Keith's, is putting to now one of his childhood pastimes. As a Hessian with an accent, he’s drawing on dialect experience gained at the Roerich dinner table some years ago in Yorkville, N. Y. It was the custom of the Rogrichs to amuse themselves by talking in dialects. Most any dia-

Sonja Henie Soon will have a real home of her own for the first time since she came to this country from Norway to make her fortune with a pair of skates. Blond | Miss Henie has been in

down and build herself a bungalow in the Hollywood style, which means such things ‘as tennis ‘courts and

ment. Probably Miss Henie's recent stay here during filming of “Valley of the Sun” for 20th Century-Fox marked her closest approach to home life in the movie city. She rented Myrna Loy’s home for three months but all she: brought in were her trunks of clothing. When the picture is finished, however, she will hurry East to | Easthampton, N. Y., where she and her husband, Dan Topping, are building a summer residence. “As the time draws nearer,” she said, “I get more and more excited thinking about it. That is why I don’t want to make any plans for another picture or any thing else for some time. 7 “1 didn’t think I could ever get such a thrill fromh the prospect of ‘going home’ — particularly to a place which I have not yet seen.” When Miss Henie wasn’t making pictures she usually was traveling around the country for personal

Even ‘after marriage the tours continued. If she didn’t have any out of town engagements -of her own, she would travel with her husband, who was moving around with his ‘Brooklyn Dodgers football team. Until two years ago she spent two or three months every summer at her family’s home on a little island near Oslo, Norway. Since then the war has kept her from crossing the Atlantic. | The five years on.the merry-go-round of show business have been fun, she said, but she is certain she will enjoy being a home girl for a change. *
