But D'you Feel This is Really My Style? "
It's not a bridal gown that Danielle DarrieuxJs trying on. It's' a new evening
dress with a veil. If she likes it millions of pairs of eyes will see it on th?
screen. If they ·like it , hundreds of copies may be made.

Film STAR BUYS A
DRESS

acting Career when she was
14,
by
answering a newspaper advertise–
ment for a young girl to play a part in a
French film,
Le
Bal.
She was given a
film test and, as a result of that, the
leading part.
Mayerling
made her name famous in
1936. Since then she has appeared in
several French pictures and an American
one,
The Rage of Paris.
In
all
her films
her clothes-and the way she carries them

-have made
h~r
men admirers gasp. The
clothes have also sent their girl friends home
to copy them.
Twenty-two now, and married, Danielle
likes nothing better than to lounge about
the house in a jumper and slacks. But in
her films she has to be glamorous and this
means that the task of selecting her dress
is one to take seriously. Some women
dress
to
please men, some to annoy other
women. But a film star has to dress to
please everybody.
