"A fairy-tale gown! More of Edward Stevenson's sorcery for "Irene" at RKO in 1940. Miles and miles of tulle, black over flesh, to give an iridescence to this super ball gown. And again, the waistband is wide."
Text from Marsha Hunt's book, The Way We Wore, Styles of the 1930s and '40s.

From the studio's aschives...
Gene was on Cloud Nine-maybe Cloud Ten!
It seemed like only the other day that Dr. and Mrs. Marshall had bundled her off to New York for a holiday and to see the long, even-popular play “Green Eyes”. And now, here Gene was, in Hollywood, starring in the movie version as Nora, the little innocent in the Big Bad World of publishing.
In a way, it was a little like Life reflect Art!
Standing on a small box in the costume shop, expected to be still while the fitters flittered around her with tape measures and pins, Gene had time to stop thinking about playing Nora and reflect a little on herself and how much she and Nora were alike.
“After all”, Gene thought, “I AM still pretty naïve when it comes to the game playing and politics of the Movie Biz.”
But over the short time she’d been in Tinsel Town, she’d come to know who to trust, whom to doubt – and who was actually a sheep in wolf’s clothing (aka, Madra Lord).
And just like Nora, she knew that she was where she should be. And she also knew that she would continue to succeed – and she smiled in anticipation of that she hoped would be a long and lustrous career as the thing she’d always dreamed of being – a REAL movie STAR!
“There, finished!” said the head fitter, just as the costumer came through the door of the shop to survey the work that had been down.
“Perfect, as usual,” said the costumer. “But then again, Gene, you are indeed one of my favorite stars to dress – you were MADE for the movies, and for the role of Nora!”
And that, Gene smiled a glorious smile.
“What are you thinking?” asked the head fitter.
“Just that I feel a little like Jack Horner,” giggled Gene. “But I’ve pulled out a Plum… Role!!”
