FOREIGNER TO CITY, BUT
Dolores Is All Set to Try
For 'Miss Washington, D. C
By Harman W. Nichols
(United Preu Staff Correspondent) ,
Washington, Aug. 8 (U.R) The gal who has a good chance to be
"Miss Washington, D.C." at the raw hide show that is called the
Miss America contest is, like most Washingtonians a foreigner.
Dolores Paoloni was born in Harvey, 111., and claims West Al
lis, Wis., a subyrb of Milwaukee, as her home.
That, of course, doesn't keep
her from being lovely. Parti
cularly with: bust, 38 inches
waist, 24: hips, 35; ankle, 8;
calf, 12; thigh, 10. Shoe size
4AA.
She's five feet, six, brown as
a berry and has a voice like a
thrush.
Trouble with Dolores is that
she got started as a professional
too early in life. She's only 18
now, pushing 19, and at the
Congo Room at the Carlton ho
tel where she sings the male set
already is driving her nuts.
"I got so many nasty letters
from wives," she told me over
a glass of coke, "that I started
to cheat by wearing a wedding
band." .
As Mcl Dodds, the tobacco-
chewing press agent for the At'
lantic City beauty show, will tell
you, the emphasis there is on
talent rather than beauty.
Bebe Shopp, the Minnesota
milkmaid, won the thing last
year and has spent a lot of time
i overseas lately running down
her American sisters. She played
the vibraharp pretty like, of
course. But the 37 bust didn't
hurt her any when the gals pa
raded down the ramp in bathing
suits, which is still part of the
performance and counts a little
Dolores is a long way from
becoming Miss America. She
wont even get a chance to be
Miss Washington until tonight
when they hold the finals here.
But already she's plotting a
future of singing and dramatic
lessons. The scholarship is the
reward she wants, she says.
Dolores hasn't had it too easy
Almost all of her life she's
had to buck the tide. She pulls
in $80 a week as a singer now
but out of that she has to sup
port her mother and an aunt.
"Who do you suppose buys
these nice clothes I wear?" she
asked. "I do."
More correctly, the talented
young lady doesn't buy them.
She makes them herself. Looks
right well in 'em, too.
Dolores has a love interest,
also.
Guy named Jimmy, aged
six.
It all happened kind of sud
den, like things that do. Jimmy
was in the Congo Room with his
folks and took a shine to the
dark-skinned girl with the deep
voice. He winked. She winked
back.
Later they met in the lobby
of the hotel. They talked about
school and Jimmy's other girl
friend. Finally, he said he was
