Dancer Maintains Movie Stars
Should Discard Some Clothes
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, Feb. 15 MR) Hollywood lost a million early-bird
customers, Dancer Yvette Dare declared today, when it cut down
on movie beauties dunking their curves In bubble baths.
A few more bare shoulders draped in bath towels, she said, and
the powers-that-be could stop fretting about those lonely clinks a
lot of movie theater cash regis
ters are making these days.
Miss Dare is what you might
call an expert on bare shoul
ders and things. She makes her
living at Larry Potter's supper
club with her "Fowl Strip
Tease." A parrot peels her down
to the limits prescribed by law.
It's a technique that'd work
wonders for battered box of
fices, too, to hear Miss Dare tell
it. All these covered-up heroines
are driving away the gents who
work nights. '
a a
The boys who have time on
their hands in the mornings,
Yvette says. "They go for the
quick fade-outs with screen sir
ens stepping into showers oi
dropping shoulder straps.
"Nowadays the girls keep too
many clothes on.
"All the night watchmen,
salesmen, restaurant workers,
and night-shift laborers are pass
ing up the movies for pool
rooms, penny arcades, and live
girl shows."
Miss Dare wants it understood
right here that she's not real
ly a strip-teaser herelf. The way
her parrot flies off with her
costume-veil by veil she says,
is "art."
And she thinks Hollywood
could get away with the same
thing with a little practice.
"Katherine Hepburn almost
did it in 'Adam's Rib.' " she said.
"She wrapped herself in a towel
and then whirled around. I saw
the movie one morning and the
theater was packed with men."
Word gets around about
thing like that, Yvette said. Why
Is "Samson and Delilah" smash
ing records? Because of Hedy

By SID BOISE

rental income because of fire
damage to the rental proper

LaMarr's Biblical scanties, she
said.
Yvette says the big day of all
will be the day Greta Barbo
does a little subtle peeling for
the camera.
"She has the mysticism, the
withdrawn, isolated quality that
makes for a great body act," she
said
There are only two glamour
gals who do as well with their
clothes on as they would other
wise, Miss Dare says: Lana Tur
ner and Paulette Goddard.
"They pack theaters just by
turning their backs to the cam
era," she said.
'Hot Rod' Driver
Gets Life Term
Burley, Ida., Feb. 15 (U.PJ
Neal Butterfield, 17 -year -old
'Hot Rod" driver, Tuesday was
sentenced to life Imprisonment
for the brutal sex murder of
little Glenda Joyce Brisbois, 7,
h.t November.
The state had demanded death.
The sentence was the most se
vere Judge Hugh A. Baker could
impose short of death.
The tall, imperturable youth
previously had pleaded guilty to
the slaying. He admitted strik
ing the child over the head with
an automobile jack, "because I
wanted to see someone die." He
tossed her unconscllus into an
irrigation ditch, where she
drowned.
Butterfield denied the coro
ner's assertion that the child had
been mistreated sexually.
Butterfield confessed the slay
ing just 50 hours after the blonde
curly-haired child was enticed
into a black sedan near the home
of her truck-driver father. Her
body was found south of Burley.
Henry Cobb Builds $10 in '30s
To Fortune Today in Fruit Ideas
In a Miami newspaper recently, Henry Cobbs told Amer
icans: "If you don't want to talk us into a depression, then keep
your big flannel mouths shut."
President Truman, as well as Tide Magazine praised Cobbs'
blast against loose mouthings, but many citizens who caught
the message no doubt said, Me,
shut my mouth? Who says
who's Cobbs?
In the March issue of Liberty
magazine, Beverly Owen tells of
the rise of Henry Cobbs of Flor
ida, who in 15 years parlayed a
10-dollar bill into an interna
tional mail-order fruit-and-jam
industry. "Brooklyn's Gift to
the Orange Groves" is the title
of her article.
Fifteen years ago, when Hen
ry was in his 30's, the Cobbs fa
mily of four migrated from
Brooklyn to Florida on the rem
nant of a jackpot Henry had hit
by inventing a liquid soap-dispenser.
Cobbs saw the last of it
fade when a mortgage company
moved in on tne neaianas orange
grove on which they had staked
high hopes of profits.
Although Henry had nursed
expansive ideas about fruit and
preserves, he lacked a break, and
they remained as flat as the de
pression. Then the American Le
gion trooped to Miami, and Hen
ry, in an impulsive moment,
paid $5 for a second-hand orange
squeezer and set up a street bar
on Biscayne Boulevard. At the
end of the Legion frolics, Cobbs
tallied a profit of $600 import
ant money!
With the $600, and the $50
from a ring he hocked, Henry
signed a lease for a $30-a-month
apartment and his little factory
was going. On taking over, the
family wallet showed $10. It was
that $10 which lifted them to
fortune.
Merchants approved of Cobbs'
merchandise, including his jams
and jellies, but shied at the pri
ces. Henry, nevertheless, lined
up regular customers, and their
endorsements led to others. But
there were days when the Cobbs
family lived on fruit for entree,
main dish and dessert.
a a a
A year after Cobbs began this
venture, he made a part payment
on the property and later en
larged it on one side and crown
ed it with an upper floor. He
now owns a modern $1,000,000
plant, and spends $200,000 a
year on elaborate color litera
ture. He ships tropical preserves
all over the world and has
started a campaign to make the
nation conscious of Florida's
luscious products.
Cobbs is fascinated by letters
seeking advice on how to be
come a millionaire. "If a man
doesn't sense how to get rich, I
can't help him," he says. But his
own rules have been "work
hard have initiative be exact
be friendly cultivate person
ality and above all, give your
best, and the best will return."
Utah Man Named
Washington, Feb 15 U.R)

ated James K. Knudson of Utah

mission. He would fill the un
expired term of the late Carroll
Miller. The term expires Dec.
31, 1953. Knudson, 43-year-old
republican, has been on the agri
cultural department legal staff

Ghost Is Back
With Playmate
Bristol, England, Feb. 15 VP)
Mrs. It," the ghost of No. 13
Highworth road, is back again
with a playmate.
Only three weeks ago the
haunt was exorcised by a Church
of England vicar in a religious
rite to drive away spirits taken
from early Christian records.
The peace of No. 13 was short
lived.
Mr. and Mrs. William Baber,
who live in the house, say the
ghost now does a nightly routine
up and down the stairs with an
unidentified partner. Sometimes
it sounds like they're dancing,
sometimes like wrestling.
The Baber theory is that the
original ghost which they
named "Mrs. It" is that of a
woman who died in the house
18 years ago. "Mrs. It" first be
gan prowling around the place
in December.
Their vicar, the Rev. Francis
Maddock, went through a rite
of exorcism January 24 after a
month of nightly uproar at No
13.
Last night the Babers called
in a spiritualist. All they found
out is that "Mrs. Itt" (1) speaks
a foreign language possibly
Russian or (2) is an atrocious
speller.
They used a ouija board to see
if she had any message. What
came out was "e e h f h m e v.
