Sidelights on How A Film
Star Gets His Clothes:
The Topper' That Came Off The Shelf !
George Arilsa's costumes in his various productions form such an integral part of his performances that recently when the oppor- tunity presented itself, I was more than ordinarily interested to learn how certain articles or clothing had been obtained.
EL
"In old English,'" "said. Mr. Arliss. I had two slices of luck over the old fellow's apparel. If you remember, he wore clothes. which were noticeable and be cullar-his hat, for instance, was a tall, very shiny topper with a waist lots of people, asked me where it came from. Well I had u long bunt for it. You see it had to be in good condition. Even- tually, I went to Scott's, and said: "I suppose you haven't an out-of- date silk bat in stock? The sort of thing a man of such and such And I de- a type would wear?" scribed in detall, the handgear I imagined would appeal to the ras- cally old ship owner, who was as fastidious in his dress as in his food.

"The shop assistant listened carefully. regarded me with a con- templative eye, then retrieved from the back of a high shelf, & faded looking cardboard box, from which he drew the hat in question. I knew that it was perfect, the moment I saw it. Then I had a similar experience over the shoes" I needed. I called at Peals, the bootmakers, and never thinking I'd have any success, asked: "Of course, you haven't such a thing as an old fashioned pair of boots or shoes that have been left on They must be good, your hands but with character. But no of course you'd have nothing like that? To my astonishment they had! From some hidden corner, the ideal object was brought to light.. Shoes that had been made to the order of some wealthy old customer who, for some reason or other, never had them-perhaps. he died, but if he did it was not were in those shoes!

a really beautiful waistcoat that had been made for and worn at Queen Victoria's wedding-it had the monogram V.A. (Victoria: Albert) worked in silk all over it. The Order of the Garter present- ed some difficulty-they are im- possible to obtain. I understand that at the death of a knight of the Garter, his heir must wait up- on the King, and hand back the Insignia; there are, however, one or two in Museums, and what I wore was a replica made by an artist from the original in South Kensington Museum From the same source, came several of the embroidered coats and vests, worn in "The House of Rothschild' which had been copied by an ex- pert needlewoman during many visits made for the express pur pase."

"And regarding your present. film, Mr., Azliss, do you propose wearing any authentic clothes or uniforms which belonged to Well- ington?"
"Certainly my clothes for "The Iron Duke are authentic No- thing I wear actually belonged to the Duke of Wellington and yet everything, belonged to him, By that I mean that every single one of my costumes had been copied -stitch for stitch from some recog- nised portraits or other accurate

When I came over from Bolly- wood one of the first people I call- ed upon was my old friend Morris Angel, who used to look after my costumes forty years ago when 1 first appeared on the London stage.

"One of the costumes I wear is taken from the famous portrait of the Duke, by Sir Thomas Law- rence. dated 1814, which shows him in the Field Marshall's full.. dress uniform bearing the Sword of State as he appeared in the procession to the City to return thanks tor Peach. The sword, which Is still in existence, has been cop- led by a master craftsman and is an exquisite piece of work. He is wearing all decorations, too, in cluding the star of the Order of the Garter on its blue riband."
"Does that mean that you had to have a second replica made.. then?" I asked,
Oh dear me, no. I was so pleased with the workmanship of used in Disraeli' the one I that I kept it., partly out of senti- ment and partly as a talisman, and it gives me real pleasure to be able to use it a second time.
"There is an amusing tale about the grand old man and his battle array. In active service on the field he used to wear a blue clock lined white when fighting was not expected, but should there be any fighting, or even preparation for a battle, the Duke would re- tire to his quarters, and with his delightful sense of the fitness of things would throw a short grey cloak over it that he might be, easily recognised from afar, De- tails of this cloak came from Apsley House in Piccadilly, which, as you know, was presented to the. Dake by a grateful nation, and from another picture by Sir Tho- mas Lawrence. proving that port- "raits which date have a value you moderns don't always appre- clate."
As I turned to leave the little green-curtained dressing room Gaumont-British have rigged up on the set for Mr. Arliss, he called rie back and said
"And, by the way, don't forget the old fellow gave his name to a pair of boots] He needed, them over a hundred years ago, and. upen my soul, you still need them -to-day."
