"Betty Cradle dresses terribly.
Shelley Winters is the female Jack
Oakie. Hedy Lamar did to Holly
wood what she wouldn't dare do to
Europe. Bette Davis makes the
mistake of trying to look young
when she is middle-aged. Farley
Granger is foolish to dress the way
The does. And Eleanor Parker is
the new glamour girl of Holly
wood" These and other pertinent
remarks on cinemaland's sartorial
side came from Don Lopez. long
Established in Hollywood as dress
designer-in-c chief to the movie
stars.
"Grable doesn't care how she
looks" Don said over a frugal
lunch at Romanoff's. which is
next door to the fabulous new
Lopez dress salon in Beverly Hills.

S. Kramer Speaking
Wonder Boy of Hollywood Asks
Simple Sense in Movies
By Harold Heffernon

More principle and less success
can make for happier life
"Fourposter" has Rex Harrison
and Lilli Palmer living through
"the eight stages of a marriage,
from wedding night to death. One
set, two characters, one bed"
With Charles Boyer playing
Papa. 1.-THE Happy Time" tells
of "the coming of age of teen
age boy. and his first reaching
for maturity on everything from
the intellectual plane to the first
sex manifestations"
Further" Kramer added. Eve
strive to illustrate the frank,
above-board viewpoint on things
basic, such as sex by the CONT
mental mind as contrasted to the
hush-hush and guilt of the Amer
lean habit
Ethel Waters will repeat her
stage triumph in Member of the
Wedding" which Kramer de-
scribes as zone of the most beau
tiful and tender documents ever
written. The child and the ado
descent growing up under the
supervision of the servant instead
of the parents.
/ 1.-THE 5000 Fingers of DR.. T."
by DR.. Suess of Gerald McBoing
Boing" fame, is ''the story of
! child's imagination as represented
by a trip through the never-never
land which he dreams about"
Another, 1.-THE Cyclists Raid"
lis, as Kramer puts it, "a COM
Imentary on violence in youth. as
represented by gangs, hot-rodders
and motorcycle bands. The story
is told through group OF motor
Icylists who take over a town and
wreck it in one night"
I Kramer believes that a constant
flow to the screens of such chal-
longing subject matter - minus
the preachment, Of course-is the
only way to lure folks away from
their TV sets and back into movie
houses.

or Hollywood parties" Don con-
tinued. In fact, you never see
her anywhere Except at the race
tracks,, but she's still top girl at
goth Century-Fox, and a wonder
full girl"
Vans Socks Are Red.
Van Johnsons red socks. which
he wears with his dinner clothes,
arouse scorn from Lopez.
"Why does he wear them? It's
simple. No one is going to talk
about Van for himself, so he wears
red socks" is the way Don put it.
1t reminds him of Jack Oakie,
who made a nebulouS kind OF
history when he appeared at q
very swank white-tie-and-tails
party wearing a sweat shirt
Where is Oakie now?" asked
Don. Still wearing sweat shirt
but no one sees it," he replied.
Shelley Winters makes big
mistake wearing Stacks and sweat
ers at parties" continued Don
"a woman who has the privilege
to be star owes it to the public
to look like one. Glamour is what
we built the cinema on, and the
lack of it is what is hurting
Hollywood so much now. Plus
the lack of mystery.
Take Hedy Lamar. I knew
Hedy in Budapest in 1894. She
was the most exciting thing
ever saw. Seven years later. when
II saw her in Hollywood. she
walked into Romanoff's wearing 9
dirndl skirt with daisies yet ir
her hair. something she would
never have dared to do in a smart
restaurant in Europe. I don't
know what happens to these girls
when they come to Hollywood
They go native overnight. Except
there is nothing native to Holly
wood. Even the palm trees are
imported"
Sonia Was Different.
Sonia Henie used to be escorted
to parties by Don, and he said she
is a fabulous character. "She
looks like a girl, thinks like man
and dresses like a circus queen!"
Bette Davis, get ready! Here is
what Lopez said about you: Her
big mistake is in trying to look
young. so she let's her hair grow
long, and her figure go. She's
middle-aged but she could be SC
beautiful.
Like Joan Crawford. who is the
same age as Bette, but Joan Is
fabulous. She's a chic woman who
keeps up with the times, never
lives in the past" I mentioned
that I did not believe Joan en-
tirely happy, because she would
like to have husband. and does
not have one now. so what, u

The youngest, most successful
of all the industry's many
independent producers, Stanley
Kramer, called on his colleagues
today to stop licking their box
!office wounds, adopt a 24-hour-a-
day air of optimism and, above
all, return to the old-fashioned,
proved formula of movie making.
The 37-year-old Kramer, New
Yorker who grew UP in the sales
and distribution atmosphere of
the business, and who set the town
on its ear three years ago by
filming a SO million grosser
(champion for less than $500. 900,
believes the bulk of Hollywood S
output has become too ponderous.
Too many producers, he implies,
