Modern Dolls
New York Writer Declares
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) A doll with
any self respect won't even try
to make a comeback with today's
little girls after a couple de
cades in tissue paper storage.
The new dolls currently walk
ing around the toy counters
carrying on .conversations with
tiny, customers simply don't give
an old-fashioned girl doll a
chance. A mother who tries to
give her. modern miss her own
favorite childhood doll may find
that daughter doesn't share the
sentiment, to say the Hkst.
"But moer, what does she
DO?" you can imagine the puz
zled daughter asking.
And mother could only reply
sadly, "She just sits ere and
stares at you." . j '
Doll Engineers Warned
Speaking for my own three
moth-balled f avorites and in
their hey-daPa girl had to do the
talking for her dolls, I should
like to warn doll engineers not
to carry this thing too far.
It is all right, I suppose, to
surprise little Linda in the nur
sery chatting with her new bal
let doll which has jointed ankles
and knees and can assume clas
sic ballet poses.
And when bedtime comes,
there may be some advantage to
having a doll kneel beside her
owner and say her prayers in
an unfaltering metallic voice
while, little Linda stumbles
through "Now I lay me down
But if somebody doesn call a
halt, it is entirely possible that
the doll of a few years froig
now will outsmart her mistress.
' Suppose some mechanical whiz
found a way to install a magic
electronic eye in one of those
talking dolls? Every time some
body approached the doll would
strike up a conversation.
. Or a junior-sized electronic
brain with a few simple push
button controls, on the forehead?
A doll like this , could see her
owner through third grade arith
metic. Strictly Speculation
, While tese ideas are strictly
speculation and do not reflect
any known plans of the toy com
panies, one doll manufacturer
already has admitted he could
make even more versatile dolls
9 but he is afraid to.
Anything is possible now that
little girls are asking for Christ
mas dolls that pucker their lips,
give you a kiss on the cheek,
wave their arms realistically and
talk back. In defense of my
glassy-eyed beauties of a few
years ago there is a lot to be
said for dumb blonde dolls
around the playroom.
