Song of the Flame Belt

You can't believe it. Even with times getting tough - the stock market crash has sure gummed the works - your sister has got you and her a ticket to see that new talkie everyone's going crackers for - 'Song of the Flame.' A technicolor talkie! And made all fancy with some widescreen hootenanny called the Vitaphone. Jeepers! This is an occasion that calls for dressing up.

You can't believe it. Even with times getting tough - the stock market crash has sure gummed the works - your sister has got you and her a ticket to see that new talkie everyone's going crackers for - 'Song of the Flame.' A technicolor talkie! And made all fancy with some widescreen hootenanny called the Vitaphone. Jeepers! This is an occasion that calls for dressing up. You slip on your best bias-cut, ankle-length wool skirt, and tuck in a well-cut, cream wool blouse. You add your favorite cloche, and ruffle through your Waterfall vanity drawers until you find this belt. It was a splurge, you admit it, but you had to have it! A simple elasticized band to cinch in your waist and an oh-so-modern Art Deco buckle. With its asymmetrical sweep of black and silver rays, emanating from a rectangular center, this belt is all the rage. You fasten it around your waist, adding the perfect touch of moxie to your outfit. A coat of red lipstick, and you two scram out the door, hurrying to the theater on foot, since your brother has the old jalopy for the evening. The crowd outside the theater is all abuzz, humming with excitement beneath the bright lights of the marquee. "She's a looker!" you here someone whistle as you glide through the theater's heavy double oak doors. Your sister and you hide a burst of giggle behind your gloved hands. You may not be swimming in sawbucks, but that doesn't stop you from looking marvelous!
