The costume, which is as ex- pensive as it is heavy, was designed especially for Miss Daniels to wear in the name räle of "Bio Rita."

Designed and made by Walter Plunkett, head of the RKO ward to 6 pm.-European programme robe department, this extravagant costume consists largely of gold. lace and rhinestones. It is worn by 'Miss Daniels during a garden fête given by the kinkajou," a notori- ous under-cover" bandit. It is one of the most spectacular scenes of the sensational musical show.

The bodice of Bebe's extra- ordinary gown is of souffle, a trans- parent net that blends with Miss Daniels' skin, giving a startling effect. Gold applique bordered with rhinestones trims the front of the hodice and comes down woll across the left hip, joining the bouffant skirt of gold cloth.

With this is worn an elaborate gold lace shawl that sweeps, from shoulder to the ground. She wears high rhinestone comb in her hair and the finishing touch is a gold lace mantilla studded with rhine- stones.

Mr. Plunkett fixes the value of 6 the costume at $10,000, but those who saw Miss Daniels wearing it during the filming of "Rio Rita," were unanimous in the expression that "it looks like a million.”
