T he little star you have been seeing in PHOTOPLAY STAR FASHIONS is suddenly real. Now it s more than a picture: it’s an exciting piece of rhinestone jewelry that you can wear a hundred lovely ways—a perfect, basic accessory. The secret of its many uses is in the little catch closing at the tip of one of its points: it can be clipped to your bracelet or watch, to a necklace chain or ribbon, or slipped onto a bar pin, pinned to your scarf, your shoulder, your pocket or belt or bag. (See the ways five stars wear it on the following pages.) Above you see it magnified to five times its size, and at left, it’s shown actual size. It’s a little less than one inch long and wide, covered on both sides with sparkling rhinestones.

The Photoplay Star is both a jewel and a symbol. It means glamourous good fashion! It’s the wearable symbol of your PHOTOPLAY STAR FASHIONS . . . your guide to good style. Here on these pages every month, you’ll find the very latest fashions— selected for you by the stars—at prices everyone can afford. And to make your fashion news even more exciting and fun, the movie stars themselves will wear the fashions and The Star, in every fashion photo shown in Photoplay. Copy the wonderful ways the stars wear their Stars . . . and dream up your own imaginative ways! Watch Photoplay for fashion … and watch for The Star when you shop. You’ll see it pictured on the tags attached to all the styles you see here, tags that read, “A PHOTOPLAY STAR FASHION.”
