Film Actress's Gowns
Old Fashioned Costumes Worn By Kay Francis.
IN LOVED A WOMAN”
Six: expert women worked two weeks to bead a dress worn by Kay Francis, who is co-starred with Edward G. Robinson, in "I Loved A Woman," shown recently at the Alhambra Theatre.
It was not a dress that the star! might buy and wear after her plo- turb was finished. For it belonged to the year 1907, when women's clothes were decidedly different.
In 'I loved A Woman," the glam- orous Kay has the role of a grand opera singer. Her career is follow- Jed from 1897 to 1929, and, of course, she dresses the part carefully, luxuriously, in correct style for each pletured year.
Bended Gown
The beaded gown is of pale blue net and lace. It is heavily beaded: with bow-knots and flowers in the tiniest sizes of rose, blue, green, gold, white and irridescent sequins. To do this work, the six women were allatted three whole rooms of the studio wardrobe, where enormous frames were set up and the net stretched upon it. Interestingly enough, the beading is done from Junderneath, with the experts holding the tiny sequins on long spools of thread, and catching them along a
