Rabbit Fur Fashions Find
Favor With Teen-Aqers

cessories such as beretS, handbags,
muffs and belts. Colorful at-home
fashions such as the wrap-around
skirt in purple rabbit open up new
possibilities in glamour at the
fireside.
Beige. one of the smart new
neutral shades in fur and which
is getting a strong hand with the
success of otter, is attractive in
bunny jackets and middies. These
budget-priced pieces will prob
ably be snapped up by smart
girls when they return to the cam
puses this fall. Also, they will find
some of the newest tweeds fin-
ished with rabbit pockets and col
lars. There's a handsome striped
woolen dress with a circular stole
lined with black rabbit-a won-
derful costume in itself.
Even the small fry are not ex-
cluded from the rabbit fashion
picture. For them variety of fur
accessories will make it possible
to dress up winters costumes with
matching muff and ascot sets.
There's even a fur weskit for the
young miss to wear with her

Taking the fashion market in
quick leaps and bounds are clothes
that make use of rabbit-attrac-
tive casual jackets, Innings for
handsome capes and jackets for
full-length garments.
The new handling of rabbit
fur really fools the eye. Let-out
processing, for example. makes il
difficult to tell which is the real
sheared beaver or nutria, real seal
or blond otter. That thick. soft
luxury look of chinchilla is beau
tifully duplicated in chinchilla
rabbit with coloring and similar
pattern of the real thing. When
it is made into full-length coat,
you would think it must cost a
kings ransom but the price tag
Is a modest one that belongs to

Made into long stoles, it will
add glamour to many wardrobes
this winter. Designers like to play
up its lovely coloring by teaming
colorful Innings to matching cos
tunes underneath. There's the
reversible chinchilla rabbit lined
with gold felt worn over a gold
felt skirt; "a brief bunny jacket
lined with turquoise brocade over
a two-piece costume teaming a silk
brocade top with matching tur-
quoise skirt.
This fur dyes to perfection, too,

coordinate with fall and winter

the stage, for instance, a middle
aged luminary of the Metropolitan
named Ezio Pima took on a mu-
sical comedy role and found new
stardom; on records a young fell
low of operate inclination named
Mario LAMA emerged as the days
most interesting (in my opinion)
popular singer. In the movies a
noticeable trend has been toward
the adaptation of old stories,
scripts and the lives of bygone
personalities to current drama
tization: in the record industry,
yesterdays music has enjoyed
the same treatment. TeleviSion
has concocted a rebirth of the
production number" with its
bevy of performers cavorting be-
fore the cameras; records have
adopted the choral group which,
in effect, offers a production
number" for the ear. And, tech
nically, the vocal and visual illu-
sions that such as Walt Disney,
the "Jolson Story" producers and
q fellow named Garroway have
been practicing in their own
media, have been matched, not
ably by Les Paul and his missus,
Mary Ford, in the platter world.
Yes. I'd say those four recog-
nizable trends in the disc busi-
ness-the invasion of the popular
field by classical type" perform
ers. the revival and rewaxing of
old-time numbers, the new-found
favor and flavor of the choral
group and the inclination of the
business and the public to take to
new techniques of presentation

contrlbutory factors in the for
ward surge it has been enjoying
since its slump of some months
ago.
How did these factors come
about? Well. I don't know that
any one can positively say. It's
all due to combination of events.
I imagine. Insofar as the re-
vivals are concerned. maybe the
problems of living today are caus-
ing people to reflect nostalgically
on the good old days" and SAVIOR
the "oldies" in their new dress
ing. Or maybe we're in the cross
fire of two or three hep" genera
tions, wherein such numbers have
the same natural appeal for
Junior as they did land do) for
Nom N Pop. Regarding the
LAMA boom, maybe the radio and
TV appearances of heretofore
sheltered" singers such as Lau-
ritz Melchoir, Helen Traubel, etc,
or the classic re-recordings of
certain Caruso and Mccormack
pieces have Whetted the public
appetite for voices of this kind in
a pop vein. The choral move-
ment' and the folk-tune treat
ment might be explained by sug-
gesting that today's accent on in
dividual participation in things is
most nearly felt song-wise in
those methods of presentation.
And as for the success of those
technical tricks on recordings:
well, the world has always enjoyed
being mystified by magic and
hand.
Maybe, though, I shouldn't
really look for reasons at all, but
just acknowledge that quality
will tell"
There's been a pretty happy re-
suit of the aforementioned de-
velopments too. I think. I'm re-
ferring to the opening they've
provided for new talent. Since
the disc companies have had ma
terial to work with that was
somewhat pre-sold, they've been
able to put new or upcoming peo-
pie in the performer spots. It's
BEEN boon for such fine and
versatile artists as Ralph Flana-
gan and his fast-rising band, Patti
Page, Rosemary Clooney, frankie
Laine. the Walter Schumann
Choral Group, Hugo Winterhalter,
Guy Mitchell, the Les Pauls and
Mario Lanza-which is not to say
that our old favorites like Vaughn
Monroe, Guy Lombardo, Fred
Waring, Doris Day, Sarah
Vaughan, Margaret Whiting, the
King Cole Trio, Tony Martin and
Bing Crosby have been any less
active than usual, however. All in
all. the combination has made
this past year one of the best of
the last several. and at a time
when most folks thought television
would relegate the record business
to the lower shelf in the back
room.
AS for fall and winter seasons,
there is every indication that the
same refreshing upsurge in pop
ular records will continue. Guy
Mitchelfs Belle, Belle. My Lib
erty Belle" Vic Damone's Long
ing for You" and Vaughn Mon
roe's Wonder Why" all give in
dicationS of becoming top hit
