De Mille, when not busy on a picture, wears a trim business suit which he dons in his dressing room on reaching the theatre. When he is busy, he goes in a costume of tan, high-laced field boots, dark riding breeches, pastel green jacket with vest to match and a dark green shirt. He invariably instructs the announcer to apologize to the audience for his workaday appearance, despite the fact that spectators are stunned by the getup...
