Presenting GRACE MOORE, Movie Star Paper Doll

July 28, 1935.  "Presenting GRACE MOORE.  The world loves Grace Moore, not only for her glorious voice and screen personality, but for her indomitable courage as well.  After years of hardest work, she won her way to the heights in grand opera and when it was thought movie patrons would appreciate opera in motion pictures, Grace Moore was given the assignment.  Perhaps the public was not ready for opera at that time, as her first pictures were flops at the box office.  This didn't deter Grace Moore.  Rather, it strengthened her resolve to win her movie audience.  She came back again in Columbia's ONE NIGHT OF LOVE, an overwhelming and instant success which is still remembered as one of the finest productions ever filmed.  Now she appears in LOVE ME FOREVER, also produced by Columbia, and many critics pronounce it an even greater picture than One Night of Love.  Here Grace Moore is shown with a part of her beautiful wardrobe, designed by Hollywood's leading fashion experts especially for this picture, and a few gowns from her personal wardrobe."
This newspaper paper doll is from The Movie Star Paper Doll Series.

HELEN VINSON in the Movie Star Paper Doll Series

June 23, 1935.  The outstanding work of Helen Vinson in "Her Wedding Night", a United Artists picture in which she is co-starred with Anna Stern and Gary Cooper, has marked as one of the screen's most promising young artists.  Her ability and distinctive blonde beauty have won many friends and here she is shown with several of the lovely gowns and costumes worn in the production together with a sport ensemble and street dress from her personal wardrobe.  (1)  What woman wouldn't adore this lovely dressing gown of rose velvet with its quilted satin collar.  It is trimmed with gold frogs and gold fringed sash.  (2)  This simple street dress of white crepe de chine is also appropriate for sports wear.  It is neatly decorated with black satin ribbon and worn with a patent leather belt.  (3)  This hostess gown of rose crepe is almost devoid of decoration and for its modish grace relies entirely on the novel drape of the sleeves and skirt.  (4)  These lounging pajamas of heavy ripple weave crepe of peach color are worn with a lovely olive green coat.  The tie and belt are of silver cloth.  (5)  This new spring print is typical of the season's styles.  The multi-colored plaid design is especially new and attractive, typical of the clothes worn by Hollywood stars.  (6)  The sports woman will particularly like this golfing ensemble of beige knit sweater with crew neck and brown wool skirt which is worn with a mauve suede leather jacket by Helen Vinson.  Embroidered initials of the wearer are a new fad.

ANN SOTHERN in the Movie Star Paper Doll Series

June 30, 1935.  ANN SOTHERN in the Movie Star Paper Doll Series.  Ann Sothern first deserted motion pictures early in her career in favor of Broadway where she made her debut with Marilyn Miller in "Smiles" and later with Zigfelds's famous "Follies."  She then created a sensation in "Of Thee I Sing" which resulted in her being offered a starring contract with Columbia in "Let's Fall In Love."  Others of her screen successes are "Melody in Spring", "Kid Millions", "Folies Bergerre" and "Blind Date".  Her latest picture is "Eight Bells" and here she is shown in lovely gowns and costumes worn in the picture together with distinctive clothes from her personal wardrobe.  (1)  This modish jacket of black taffeta may be worn with almost any sport skirt.  The trimming is of frilled white organza.  (2)  A simple sport frock of white Kasha cloth of nautical design with touches of blue at the collar and belt.  (3)  This original coat suit of light weight woolen material is strikingly enhanced with vari-colored silk and wool trimming.  Note the muffler and gloves carry out the same decorative motif.  (4)  Dusky pink moire, in regal period lines, compliments the lovely blond beauty of Miss Sothern.  (5)  Light beige flannel, highlighted with dark brown buttons, is finely tailored in this two-piece slack suit.  (6)  A new Organza frock of shirred fullness and loose flowing sleeves tightly cuffed at the wrist, worn with a dainty frilled collar.  (7)  The beaded tunic of this dinner gown is of latest fashion for it is cut longer at the back and is slashed at the sides, circled with a sash of flame colored chiffon.

This paper doll has nice clothes but she looks nothing like Ann Sothern.  All the other dolls in this series look like the movie stars they represent.  Ann Sothern was so pretty, it's a shame the artist did not try to make the doll look at least a little like Miss Sothern.

JEAN HARLOW Paper Doll

 April 14, 1935.  I posted this paper doll several years ago but I wanted to redo it and try to make Jean and her clothes look better. --- "Three large flowers add the only color to this lovely evening dress.  The gown otherwise, is simple, following the lines of the figure close to the knee where it flares becomingly to the floor.  For evening wear, Jean chooses a dress of graceful white chiffon which is featured by its novel use of fine pleating and scarf draped waist."

 "A nautical sport suit of corded blue and white silk worn with dark blue polo shirt.  Black wool shot with gold metal threads is fashioned into this afternoon gown from the personal wardrobe of Jean Harlow.  The gown features a split skirt and black and gold cord trimming.  The hat is created of matching material and the white gloves have fringed cuffs."

"A stunning hostess gown of crimson velvet.  The unusual fullness features in the bodice and skirt is an interesting fashion note.  Long full sleeves are caught at the waist and the belt has a beautiful jeweled buckle.  Long flowing beach pajamas of orchid satin with dark purple sash, buttons and trim of the same material."
