Women Who Put $4,000
Into Clothes Are Sick

now a fashion business that
did a million-and-s-half last
year."
Blackwell, who never uses
his first name of Richard,
also raps the so-cslled best
dressed lists.
Lists Are PhOny
There has never been a
woman on any of them who
spends less than $4,000 a
year for clothes. The designer
who puts them there is a
phony. He knows they don't
belong there, but he hopes
for a cut Of that $4,000"
Blackwell says that a wom-
an who spends $4,000 a year
on clothes is emotionally dis
turbed.
She hates her husband and
wants to break Inn, or else
she doesn't have enough in
tereSt to keep her busy and
happy. Some Of the best
dressed women IA America
are buying their wardrobes
on layaway."

Directing Tots
Is ChiId's Play

HOLLYWOOD (AP).-Di-
rector James B. Clark, who
made Dog of Flanders" and
Misty" with David Ladd,
tells the secret of directing
child actors.
THE only way to direct
them is not to direct them"
Clark says the worst thing
a director can do to a child
actor is to impart acting
technique.
when the child becomes
overly conscious that he is a
little professional, you soon
have the horribly artificial
type OF juvenile performer
that other actors and the
public alike find annoying.
Make a child play make
believe and you have natural
acting. Make believe is part
of childhood, a natural part. "

What's This?
Cast Musicals
With Talent?

HOLLYWOOD (AP).-
Mickey Callan, top young
actor, is an expert dancer,
but outside Of a cameo scene
in "Pepe," the movies have
yet to use this talent.
The star Of the original

Mickey would like nothing
better than a movie musical
revival.
But Hollywood doesn't
make musicals much anymore
because Of bankers, not the
public"
Movie musicals, he argues.
cost too much-and what
makes them cost is what
spoilS them.
"A studio will take a good
musical comedy script and
cast it with big names, often
non-singerS and dancers. 1t
costs a fortune to teach these
stars enough to make them
look passable. They seldom
ever reach that stage-and
the musical has cost SIS mil
lions. How can they expect
to make a profit?"
Callan's solution: Cast mu-
steals with musical comedy
talent.
I'VE didn't have a name
in West Side Story but we
had talented people-and it's
one of the most successful
shows in Broadway history"

H OLLYwoOD. - Mr..
Blackwell, a designer and
iconoclaSt-alSo one of the
original Dead End KidS-be-
heves the average American
woman is a dull dresser. Part
Of the reason, he argues, is
that too many try to copy
movie star fashions.
when a girl tries to dress
like Elizabeth Taylor, she
doesn't flatter herself. She
only flatterS Elizabeth Taylor.
There can be no second
Elizabeth Taylor. And, 1
might add, there can be no
second Jacqueline Kennedy"
The best dressed women in
America, says Blackwell, are
young career girls who dress
with only one thought in
mind-to catch a husband
or try to hold one already
Snagged. :
An ExhibitiOnist
Movie stars are exhibition
iSts," he says. Don't dress
like an exhibitionist unless
you want to be one yourself"
Blackwell admits he's an
exhibitionist.
I'm also a neurotic. How
can I design clothes with
emotion If I'm not overly
emotional MYSELF"
He once incurred the wrath
Of ZSa ZSa Gabor when he
included her on his list Of
the 10 worst dressed women.
Once MarIyn Monroe tried
to order three dresses from
him.
81 wouldn't let her have
them at any price. I don't
want her wearing my dress
es."
And that proves, he says,
that he is as much an exhi-
bitionist as they.
But I'm no phony. My
buyers ask me to soft peddle
my beginnings, especially with
the Dead End Kids. It's not
a good fashion image.
IT should wear tight pants
with no pockets and call
everybody Darling they say.
That is the image of the fash
ion designer in America to-
day. I knitted my way up
through the Slums to the
stage, then Hollywood and

NEW YORK.-The charm
ing chap distended on the
couch in impeccably tailored
Stacks and bright blue polo
shirt had the family relaxed
air of the engaging bounder
in a Noel Coward drawing
room comedy.
And surely no one had more
of a right to the air, since
the chap so arrayed was Noel
Coward himself.
Not that he is a bounder
perish the thought-but he
is charming, he is relaxed and
he is engaging. Never more
so than when discussing Sail
Away" his first venture into
the field of American musical
comedy.
The word venture hardly
seems adequate, because Cow
ard not only wrote the book,
the music and the lyrics, but
also served as director and
even designed and executed
the advertising poster that
will hang outside the theater.
You might say I've had a
bit of a BASH" he explained,
blue eyes twinkling modestly.
Due in October
Sail Away" one of the
first big musicals of the new
Broadway season, is scheduled
to open at the Broadhurst
Theater on october 8, after
tryoutS in Boston and Phila-
delphia.
tits all about a British
cruise ship sailing from New
York to various Mediterrane-
an ports of CALL" the author
composer lyricist = director =
sign painter elaborated on his
multiple genius. THE paSsen-
gers ARE mostly Americans
and the crew mostly English,
which is where the fun begins.
Elaine Stritch plays the
cruise director. You know,
the person whose job it is
to herd everyone about and
push them into various idi-
otto activities. Frightful &C.
cupation."
Had world traveller Coward,
a veteran of many ocean
jaunts, ever fallen prey to
the real life embodiment Of
his satire?
Eyes, poor beast" he shud-
dered at the memory. "She
popped into my cabin the
first day out on a Caribbean
cruise and announced that at
II o'clock I was down for
SWITCHBOARD with a Miss
Phillips and that at Q, I was
to have a go at deck tennis
with a Mrs. Jones.
Other Plans

formed her, at II I shall be
sitting on my duff in this

we'll what I please, and at 2

Coward Is Versatile
Shaping a Musical

I shall be similarly occupied,
and both Miss Phillips and
Mrs. Jones, whom I've never
met and don't intend to,
can go jump overheard"
Since that close call with
organized togetherness; Cow
ard has confined his nautical
activities to scheduled ocean
liners of the non-cruise va
riety.
But even then" he said,
still tuning, there's that
abomination known as the
captains dinner. For four or
five days everyone behaves in
a perfectly normal manner,
ignoring each other. and then
all of a sudden they are
obliged to put on paper hats,
wad up bits of paper and
toss them at each other. I'm
sure the captain hates it
more than anyone.
A TwO-Year Ball
At 81, Noel Coward is still
trim and tanned, delightfully."-
debonair and amazingly &C
tive. Within the past two
years, he has acted in two
movies, written and directed
two plays, authored q novel,
"Pomp and Circumstance"
that is still on the best-sell-
er list, composed 10 songs
for his new musical and in
general had a ball.
His zeSt for life and his
Garganthuan capacity for
work are q hooking rebuke
to biographerS who point out
that he got his start in show
business more than 40 years
ago playing juvenile leads in
a provincial repertory COM
pany that also included new
corners Gertrude Lawrence
and Estelle Winwood.
towards work opportuni-
ties are other peoples alibiS
for not working. He first hit
upon the idea for Sail
Away" while recovering from
a bout with the flu at his
villa on the Island Of ia
maica. Similarly, he wrote
his comedy "Blithe Spirit"
during the early air raids on
London, his operetta Bitter
Sweet" while recovering from
a nervous breakdown in Ha-
wall, and His best known play,
Private Lives" during
another influenza siege in
Shanghai.
DO-It-YOurseIf Artist
In typical Coward fashion,
he decided to write an Ameri-
can-style musical because he
never had done one before,
and he decided to paint the
posters himself because he
wasn't satisfied with what
the commercial artists had
turned out.
The only reason he didn't
go ahead and act in his own
musical is that he is by nature
an optirnist and didn't want
to get tied down in a long
run" 49,.
Essentially" he added,
I'm a creative person rather
than an interpretive one. I
love acting, but I can't see
myself getting tied down to
eight performances a week,
month after month, if this
thing goes. I want to write
another novel, another seri-
Gus play and maybe a movie
or two. I know it's beaStly
to admit, but 1 do love work. /"
