Thrilling Feature of Our New Enlarged Playground P ALWAYS 2 FEATURES .... AROUND I. VIRGINIA United Pcaee .1, Apr. 14 UR A ,io revolted t o d a 11" fashionable "skeleton net' look" and or dered two movie cutles to sain weight. This is big news in Holly w 0 0 d, where the glamour girls have to grit their teeth and pass up pastries to keep their shapes. It's been years since most of 'cm have looked a baked potato in the eye. But Universal International has rebelled. "This skeleton look would kill off all our stars." Designers Orry Kelly and Yvonne Wood said. "The cumcra makes a woman look wider and heavier anyway. They always have to stay thin ner than average. "But now these Parisian de signers want 'em to look like bcd-slals. To get this effect on the screen, every actress in town would have to starve herself literally." Gals Called In And so U-I snapped its cor porate fingers at the style ex perts ann ordered Peggy Dow to put on 10 pounds for her part opposite Jimmy Stewart in "Harvey." (The rabbit In that may be invisible, but they don't want Peggy to be.) Next they called in Joyce Hol den and told her to pad her chas sis five pounds worth if she wanted to act with Donald O'Connor and Jimmy Durante in "The Milkman." It looks like this is only the beginning. And studio medico, Dr. Paul F. Olson, gives the whole revolu tionary procedure his official blessings. He's getting tired, he says, of treating movie queens for "butterflies with bayonets. ' This, according to the good doctor, is the feminine version of producers' ulcers. A -5!

"When they start back to work they have to take weight off in a hurry, "This causes fatigue, anemia, exhaustion, and neurosis. The girls are all netting irritable and temperamental from over-diet ing. They re also getting a hag gard look." Dr. Olson convinced the pow- ers-that-be at U-I they d be stuck with a lot of broken-down act resses on their hands if they in sisted on this cadaverous look. "The stars would have to sacrifice their health to keep in style," he argued. "It's skin-and- bones madness, that s what it is. The boys at the top admitted they couldn't see anything sexy aoout a bed-slat beauty, took the hint and launched a drive to fatten up their film females. DON'T FORGET SAT.
