European
Imports
Presented
By Eleni

: Washington lived up to its rep
utation for being an interna-
tional city last night when a
first of its kind" fashion show
was held at the Shoreham Ter
race.
Billed as q showing of inter-
national imports" the fashion
show presented by julius Gar
finckel & Co., was not only
viewed by people sitting on the
Terrace but hundreds Of others
who crowded the balconies. the
garden. and the steps Of the
hotel to catch a glimpse Of the
magnificent fashions from Italy,
Spain, France and England.
Four Irish fashions scheduled
to be shown. two Italian and two
British imports" never made it
to Washington. D. c. They were
lost on the KIM plane that
crashed near Shannon.
In an almost European-like at
mosphere that included strolling
violinists, gay lanterns and
colorful water fountain in the
background. the audience quickly
caught the mood produced by
seeing truly beautiful clothes
that of real delight and appre-
citation.
The majority of fash ION
shown were long evening gowns.
Miss Elizabeth Fairall, v. p of
Julius Garfinckel who has bought
the imports for her store for
over thirty-five years, feels that
a fashion show composed of
really beautiful evening fashions
Is the most exciting of all.
Comment on Dior
Proof that not only the women
but the men, too, were inter-
ested in the pretty spectacle OF
gorgeous gowns seen in a lovely
setting, was evident in the re-
mark one made on seeing the
red short starched chiffon gown
designed by the controversial
flat look" Dior. Not bad at all.
Thought he'd done much worse
by our girls"
Color for the evening emerged
as the big style note from the
% fashions shown. From Pa
tou's yellow satin gown with a
m matching stole representing
France, to Giovannelli- Sciarra
of Italy's light blue taffeta gown
with tiers Of poufs on each side.
the fashion proceedings were
definitely colorful. Other eve
ming colors included dark char
treuse, pink and gray.

cycle cop. And just as I'd
promised, I didn't say a word.
Completely unconscious of
the menace in the rear and in
high good humor because of
the insults he had heaped upon
my eyesight, my intellect and
other characteristics, Groucho
chose this exact time to step
on the gas. In about one min
ute, the motorcycle cop had
pulled up and motioned him
over to the side of the road.
BY this time your reporter
had crumpled on the rear floor
bowling with laughter,
whats so funny about
breaking the law?" the cop
asked Groucho. "You ought
to be ashamed of yourself"
"I'm not laughing" Groucho
assured him. Those noises
are coming from the back seat.
I'm taking my halfwit brother
in-law to an insane asylum"
This set me off into another
torrent of laughs. The cop
moved to the rear window and
looked in at my doubled-up
form on the floor. HAS he
been nuts long?" he asked.
"Since BIRTH" said Groucho.
So Groucho got a ticket, the
first ticket he'd even received
in his life.
He was actually furious at
me. The last 200 miles to
Pebble Beach were covered in
complete silence.
The same chill continued for
the next day. Then, at dinner,
he relented and we made q
date to play golf next day.
He was playing pretty badly
and ! tried to coach him.
Leave me alone" he warned.
YOU'RE getting me all mixed
up" AS we came to the 18th
tee. I gave him some ideas on
how to hit a drive.
He knocked the first bail
into the ocean, glared at me
and said, Thanks"
He teed up a second ball,
knocked that into the ocean.
In rapid succession. he hit four
more balls into the Pacific.
At that point, he withdrew
all the balls in his bag. threw
them into the ocean, withered
me with q look, beckoned to
his caddy, and as Arthur Marx Z.
says, gave UP serious golf for
all time"

SO many people who know their

lately, starting in Miracle on
Thirty-fourth Street. and for
me it really was. I got my
biggest and best breaks in
pictures after a lifetime in
show business. But now I want
to vary the casting. Wise

onous. One of the most in

Thelma worked in Titanic"

this one, with all the accents,
really buffaloed me. I loved
working with Joe Mankiewicz.
I did three for him-'All About

try" Thelma also did "As
Young as You Feel" with
Marilyn Monroe-"but nobody
saw it," She has a healthy re-
spect for Marilyn; also for
Grace Kelly-"She has dimen-
sions."
Thelma has had the same
stand-in during all her Holly
wood career and, to make it
sure and legal, has the gal
written into every contract.
She's that kind of person
looks out for others, and every
one wants to look out for her.

Pope's Condition
Called Grave

VATICAN CITY R-Pope Plus
XII remains gravely i'll and his
weakness continues.
That was the report today on
fis overall general condition from
DR.. Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi. The
pontiff's private physicians state
ment confirmed previous word
from Vatican sources that despite
optimistic reports following X-ray
examinations yesterday the pope's
condition remains serious.
The Vatican sources said his con-
dition is aggravated by recur-
renee of hiccups.
The Pope's ailment, diagnosed
after the X-rays as a small hernia
of the esophagus and gastritis, also
is accompanied by hemorrha ging
resulting in a slow loss of blood.
This, it was said, is partly re
sponsible for the weakened con-
ditiOn and anemia of the 78-year-
old head of the Roman Catholic
Church.

Description Of
South Beach
Is Protested

"Up to three weeks ago
that letter may have been
justified" julius Brown said
today, "but not now. I've
never seen South Beach look

years.
Brown. who operates the conces-
sion on South Beach, was referring
to a letter published in The Citi-

The letter, from Mr.. and Mrs.
Gardner Campbell of Wakefield,
Mass, took the city to task for the
unsightly condition of the beach.
Bad After Rain
Brown admitted the beach was
in deplorable condition after the
recent heavy rain.
He said he called on City Manag-
er Victor Lang and that within two
days Lang and Ivan Roberts had
city equipment, including a bull
dozer, at work on the beach.

I've seen it looking as good, !"
Brown said. Lang and Roberts
are due compliment for the quick
and good work they did to put the
beach in condition"
