To the fur industry, Santa looks like Liberace. The smiling piano wizard prob ably has pioneered more bizarre wearing apparel for men than any other entertainer. Most of them. like sequined tuxedos and jeweled ties, have been worn by Liberace and no one clue. But fur . sources disclose that Liberace's latest creation fur coats for men may catch on commercially. Liberace showed up last month wearing a snazzy white, sheared beaver coat at the pre mier of his first movie "Sincerely Yours." Designer Al Teitelbaum, mink- master for Hollywood movie queens, comments: "I've been getting calls from all over the country ever since about furs for men and the funny part of it is that I had nothing to do with Liberace's beaver." Teitelbaum said be got two or ders from Houston, Tex., for two beaver jackets one charcoal grey and one oyster white for wealthy oilmen. A Tulsa oilman also or dered one in beige. In all, the fur designer will deliver about 10 bea ver and broadtail coats for men this Christmas. Raceeee Ceat Craze The Hollywood designer, al though a famous one, is but one of thousands of furriers in this coun try. Liberace may well revive a kin of the raccoon coat craze so popular in the Ivy League during the Twenties. Teitelbaum frankly is staggered by the trend Liberace has started. Five years ago, the designer tried to start a line of men's fur fash ions but fell on his face. "We even tried to get the Duke of Windsor 'to pioneer a fur coat for men but couldn't get to first base," Teitelbaum reveals. He adds that probably it was Liber ace's choice of shirred beaver that kicked off the demand. "it's a fur that men can wear without feeling that they're steal ing the thunder of women," Teitel baum says. "It's feminine on wom en and masculine on men." Mail Frem Mea The bulk of Liberace's fan mail has come from women but he dis closes that the fur coat got him some from men, all displaying in terest. I once asked Liberace why he appeared in public wearing gold lame and sequined dinner jackets. "I just got guts, that's all." be answered. He's also the greatest Hollywood showman since the late Tom Mix. But Teitelbaum points up one potential devastating effect of Li berace's fur showmanship. Said be: "One actress customer is very angry about Liberace's white bea ver job. She bought a white beaver jacket in October and hung it up in the closet the minute Liberace showed up at the premiere in his. She vows she will never wear it again even though beaver it even bigger than mink in the cur rent fur market." Christmas Tree "i Cord Seriously Injures Child NEPM, Utah W-Llttle Defers Harmon knew there was a con nection between the bright lights on her Christmas tree and the cord which she had seen plugged in to a wall electrical outlet. She put one end of the cord in tt.e outlet then stuck the other end in her mouth. The resulting shock was so great the 24 -year-old girl was unable to cry out. But her mother hap pened to come into the room, grasped the cord and jerked it from the child's mouth. The mother said she had to pull with such force that two teeth, a portion of the child's lower lip and the tip of her tongue were torn loose. The girl also had severe! bums on her mouth. Doctors said Saturday they feared the accident might impair the child's speech. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Milton L. Harmon. Swiss Stud yin g D, S Carrier Landings .
