The Cinema I By MARTIN DICKSTEIN A Few Fashion Hint and Other Timely Relating to the Screen. Travis Banton, who designs the costumes for some of the most prominent ladies at the Paramount West Coast studio, breaks down and admits that madame's clothes must be ultra-feminine to be chic this fall.

The information is passed along here for the benefit of that portion of Brooklyn's ieminine population who may be interested in this pronunciamento of a recognized fashion expert. "Mannishness, the mode of the last few years, has been struck a death blow," says Mr. Banton. "The feminine touch will be achieved not by unnecessary flufls and frills but by prettlness and softness of line. The return of the waistline to its normal location following a steady descent for several seasons will give milady a more womanly appearance.

"The long skirt has definitely returned," declares Mr. Banton. "Even the sport skirt will be from three to four inches below the knee this fall. With the descent of all skirts, evening dresses will feature the train again." It will be a real train, too, in Mr. Banton's opinion, not a floating wisp of chiffon.

Once upon a time, and it isn't so long ago that we can't remember it distinctly, we had a fairly definite aim in life. We can even recall the thoughts in our then even-more-puerile mind when we put-putted in that day to beard our first managing editor in his den. We had long wanted to write, and that day, when that managing editor said "yes" and "seven-fifty a week" in the same breath, we heaved a relieved sigh, girded tip our loins and did a lot of tall thinking. True, covering drunk-and-disor-derly cases, visiting the local morgue, interviewing the hot-shot automobile magnate on his way through and following a lot of cops around hadn't exactly been our idea of literature, or an even semi-worthy contribution to the literary world.

But it was a stepping stone, we reasoned. And so we sang in the face of death, tittered in the face of police sergeants, interviewed hot-shot automobile magnates with grace and good will, and followed cops until our own arches began to sag in the middle. And all the time back in our head vas the youthful yen to do something big, and beautiful, and grand, end glorious. But time and ambition change. We were thinking of that when the letter from Chrissie came.

We don't know Chrissie.and yet Chrissie is a reader of here, and we've never been able to feel that readers are, after all, simply a set of strangers, endowed, each one of them, with the 3 cents necessary to cart an Eagle home. And so Chrissie's letter appealed like the very dickens. Chrissie is young, but, according to the doctors, Chrissie hasn't got far to go, or so long in which to get there. And yet, her letter is sporting. Surely, there must be a little special, waterfront lot set aside in the Elysian fields for good sports.

They're the salt of the earth, .1 Anvwav. It was Chrissie's note that got us to thinking about our reversed ambition, got us to thinking of the time when it was our sincerest hope that one day we might write something grandiose, and heavy, and learned, and literary; got us to thinking how that had all changed, and how now we'd so much rather write the sort of semi-literate, totally un-literary kind of wahoo that "Revefhng to Type" is made of. For "Reverting to Type," while it doesn't make you think, sometimes helps you not to. If it inspires no cerebral convolutions, at least It is short, and there's that in its favor. And if the flutterlngs of a columnist, whose only claim to fame is that he likes red neckties and clean fingernails, can rouse in those who are no longer able to flutter on their own even the slightest spark, we're pleased as anything.

Undoubtedly, riven a sufficiently large morning's mall, almost anybody's outlook will rhange. Anyway, ours has. There may be a special, elevated niche in Heaven for the Bernard Shaws and lis Will Durants, but we believe 'hat the Harry Hershfields and the Will Rogerses ore doing a better Job on earth. And so a columnist who once yearned to be an honest-to-gosh writer, who once yearned to "arrive," and is now quite content to write of those who have, dedicates his day's effort to Chrissie, as he did a year ago to Anne; hopes that the medicos are wrong, which they have heen, time and time again, and hopes that she'll be a reader of here long after her boy Rian has whiskers Memory Tests 1.
