stands a moment in the entrance OF
popular cafe. apparently to launch a
bantering remark to her escort, but
really to allow tourists fun opportunity
for q closeup. Phyllis. like all true
movie girls, has an eye for business.

Phyllis white skirt Is brief, her legs
symmetrical About her is the fun
flavor of Cinemaland. She has risen
from bathing beauty TO stardom IN the
