Hollywood. Danielle Darrieux, Universal's French importation, is accustomed to being gowned by the most famous dressmakers in Paris, but she expressed herself as highly satisfied with the clothes Vera West has designed for her in "The Rage of Paris."

Her favourite is fashioned of white crepe roma, the ingenious cross drape of the bodice continued into the skirt in wide flared panels outlined with bands of gold lame..

· A graceful design of tendrils and: flowers in gold bullion embroidery decorates the bodice. To go with the Grecian motif of the gown, Miss Darrieux has devised a special coif- fure. A mass of ringlets is piled high on her head on top of which nestle two gold feathers.

In "Sister Act," Rosemary and Priscilla Lane revive the ballerina evening gown. Rosemary's is a white calf-length organdy frock embroidered with tiny red and white flowers, shirred bodice, and full outstanding skirt, Priscilla's, of white organza with starched white lace bolero.

Kay Francis has a passion for two shades of one colour in a single ensemble. In "In Every Woman's Life," for example, she will be seen in a cafe au lait silk jersey, cobbler stitched in brown and a light mul- berry wool skirt coupled with a deep mulberry dressmaker jacket.
