"A Date With Romance"

from Movie Classic Magazine, October 1936

Photo Caption: Lucille Ball, youthful RKO player, makes a date with romance in an oxford grey cape suit pin-striped in maroon and light grey. Feather trimming on the hat repeats the grey and maroon note.

In this section, MOVIE CLASSIC presents to its feminine readers the art of makeup and the thrill of beautiful clothes

First the beauty shop, where magic is wrought—

by alison alden

LUCILLE BALL has a date with romance. But will romance nod and pass her by? Not if Mel Berns, maestro of make-up at RKO Studios, has a deft hand in the matter!

Demanding to be made irresistible just for tonight, Lucille offers as her contributions to beauty a flawless skin, lustrous gold hair and large blue eyes. Mel Berns offers an artistry in make-up that has changed many a merely attractive girl into a vision of enchantment. His magic is wrought not with mirrors, in the Hollywood tradition, but with brushes.

There’s nothing like a good foundation for either romance or beauty and Lucille’s face is first treated to a layer of foundation cream (1) lightly applied.

Eyebrows take form, penciled in with a series of short light strokes (not the single shiny line with which so many err) and extended gracefully at the ends. Berns does the penciling but Lucille offers this bit of wisdom, “Never pencil the brows in a down curve at the corners. It makes the face appear to droop.”

Eyeshadow is applied with a brush (2) and blended out to nothingness near the brows with patting movements of the thumb. “A shadow always recedes that part of the face to which it is applied,” Bern explains, “therefore the lid is shaded to bring the eye forward.” [Continued on page 75]

(for ease of reading, I'll continue the transcript of this section before moving on to the next!)

A Date With Romance

The Beauty Shop

[Continued from page 46]

In the outer corner of Lucille’s eye is drawn a tiny rectangle and the black outline filled in with flesh colored paint on the point of a brush. Thus the eye look assumes a long, fascinating look. Faint lines painted next to the lashes, above and below, are blended with the fingertips into a faint shadow. “The eyes need a frame as well as the face,” says Berns. “The face is framed by the hair and the eyes should be framed by accentuating the lashes.”

MASCARA next (3) with an upward stroke of the brush. Then the lashes are coaxed to curl divinely upward and brushed to silky smoothness. A small stick, tipped with cotton, does duty in removing flecks of mascara that fly willy nilly below the eyes or on the lids. “In making up the face, start at the top and work down,” is Berns’ advice.

It’s just an old Chinese brush (4) that creates those enticing lips. Dipped in lipsalve (or a little cold cream and your favorite lipstick) the tip of the brush is used to outline the lips and broaden the bow in a luscious curve. Fill in with broader treatment—so that smiling does not reveal a line of demarcation.

To complete the make-up equipment is a brush for powder (5) to whisk it evenly over the entire face and throat and another brush for rouge to blend the color subtly far out on the cheekbones. “Rouge should be applied to the highest point on the face,” says Berns, voicing a simple formula to solve that oft-repeated question. “Never should it extend into the shadows around the eye.”

Wearing beauty like a star on her brow, Lucille mirrors a smile of appreciation for Mel Berns—too busy with the final arrangement of a rhinestone comb to notice.

Then— the costumers for a ravishing selection of gowns

by sally martin

SINCE the beginning of time, romance—”a dreamy, imaginative habit of mind”—has been the ultimate, the one want in life that all women, young or old, have had in common.

That one glorious adventure makes many demands among them, with constant planning of clothes and meticulous grooming of appearance. This, of all delectable experiences, must not catch us unawares.

Lucille Ball, young RKO player, has a date with romance. Lucille is the personification of young womanhood for she has charm, personality, figure and the instinctive ability to wear clothes. As Bernard Newman, Hollywood’s ace designer says, “Lucille has the potentialities of another Lilyan Tashman.” To a girl who is clothes conscious and remembers the Tashman flare for wearing ultra-chic creations, Newman’s remark would be sufficient to place Lucille at the head of Hollywood’s smartly dressed list of screen stars.

Lucille is an average girl living on an average income. She is not a star with a fabulous salary and must therefore plan her wardrobe as carefully as you or I.

Goethe once said, “He who is of his own time, [Continued on page 75]

is of all time.” Little did he realize that he was also striking the keynote of fashions, because a good and sound style which is of its own time, is as truly of all time as the person who comprehends his own world.

This, of course, applies to fundamentals and the methods of adopting and adapting these basic laws of dress must vary with each season and each successive generation. Usually, irregardless of masculine jibes, styles reflect fundamentals which are based on the laws of sanity.

The laws themselves are founded on a few simple principles—namely, that the current fashion should express the feeling and the need of the hour and activity; that is should never be conspicuous by its eccentricity, but always obvious by its discrimination; and that above all, it should be graceful, comfortable and practical. Hollywood, rapidly becoming the world’s style center, is concentrating nowadays on fashions which emphasize romance.

from Photoplay, January 1931

original caption:

HERE'S a strangely fascinating picture of Lupe Velez, that complex exotic star. What story is more exciting than the narrative of Lupe's tempestuous loves and hates? What could have been more unexpected than her adoption of her sister's child? In "The Half Naked Truth," recently completed, she gives a new kind of characterization

Clara Bow, Christmas 1926

First image from Photoplay Magazine, January 1927.

Caption reads:

“New Pictures

THE night before Christmas and not a stocking in the house. Here Clara Bow has climbed on the roof to wait for Santa Claus only to find that she has nothing to hang on the chimney. Pity the poor flapper on Christmas Eve!”
