LIE DBVE IS ENVY OF

' BEAUTIFUL APPAREL
Billie Dove, who in the 'last: few
years has earned the well degerved
acclaim as “the prize beauty of the
screen,” is equally famous for her
flair for beautiful clothes and her
ability to wear them. Billie’s ward
robe—for stroet and screen wear—
is said to be one of the Yargest and
most stunning to say nothing of ex
pensive, to he found in the entire
width and breadth of = the film
players colony \(in the West Coast.
And in this wardrobe—gowns, *hats
and cloaks, shoes and all its other
many feminine fripperies—has been
gathered from every style mart and
master mbdiste i nthe world. "
And how she can wear them! Hex
rare patrician beauty is contained .
her form and poise that enhances
her beautiful gowns and cloaks rath
er than the adornments.accentuating
the behuty of the wearer, as is usual
ly the case and method with /¢harm
ing clothes. While she is one of
those rarely fortunate women who
look good in most anything, she
however uses gretat care in gauging
the color and cl;,t:‘of her apparel to
fit her bruneite type of “’oeauty_a‘n:d_\;
her queenly personality.’ o
All of which leads to the fact that
Miss Dove can be seen at the Capi
tol Theater ) §ionday -scintillant. not
only in hqr,:v_ty‘lonyt ‘as an actress and
her fleshly beauty, but unusually
brilliant in_soie. iof- the gorgeous
and htft‘acti&e creations in gowns,
wraps and jewelry that the fashion
shops of the vrorld could offer She

It is hard tc select anything out
standing in this stunning array of
