Asides - Fall Fashion Fun

Fall is upon us, and it was upon the film community in the early thirties. This post features fashions from two magazines, one from September 1930 and the other from November 1932. We also have another advertising sponsor who promises that selling their product can make you big money in your spare time - possibly electrocuting the users, but that's after the sale, not your problem.

Photoplay, September 1930 - Artist: Earl Christy


The spread features Jeanette MacDonald, Bebe Daniels, Irene Rich, Ann Harding, Natalie Moorehead, Alice White and Marion Davies. We see that a number of the outfits will be seen in upcoming pictures, so keep a sharp eye out while at the cinema.



Motion Picture, November 1932 - Artist: Marland Stone


Greta Nissen, Frances Dee, and Myrna Loy


Marjorie Gateson (don't really know much about her, but she had over 100 film and television appearances) and Adrienne Ames


British born actress Jill Esmond - married to Laurence Oliver from 1930 to 1940


Mary Brian, always pert.

Finally, an ad from our sponsor, Terminal Products. You decide if the company is aptly named.

Screen Book magazine, September 1931
