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.

Relaxing Hard on Figurat
"Film stars relax between pic
tures anct acquire a normal fig
ure," Dr. Olson explained.
"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.
