Pnl Corset on Star
In 1900 a corsetless female was
a censorable object Today, a cor
seted young lady appearing on the
screen even for a dream sequence
calls for a final oka,'’ from the
Hollywood censors
The censorable object in this
case was none other than Jane
Powell, a young lady who needs a
corset about as much as she needs
two heads A scant five-feet tall,
tipping the scales at ninety
pounds, getting Jane into a cor
set for a scene in M-G-M's new
Technicolor musical, “Two Weeks
With Love," required no less than
fifteen people The trouble was
that she was too little
Inspired by a corset ad appeal
ing in a 1900 issue of Harpers
Magazine, the costume, of course,
was originally designeci to be
worn underneath a dress But this
would not be the stuff of which
Hollywood dreams are made The
story point was that the heroine
I of “Two Weeks With Love” long
led for a corset with the passion
that today’s eighteen-year-old
; feels for a yellow convertible. The
I dream corset had to become a
reality, censors or no.

"Skid Row" Gels
Visit From Star
It cost Dana Andrew s a pocket
ful of money to spend a week in
Los Angeles' "Skid How," on lo
cution during the shooting of Sam
uel Goldwvn’s "Edge of Doom,”
distributed by RKO Radio
Playing a priest and wearing
his clerical collar and subdued
double-breasted black serge suit,
Dana willingly became a .soft
touch. Curiously, he found that
the denizens of the “Row" did not
panhandle him because he was a
film star; they actually thought he
was a priest. As far as he knew,
none of the hand-out tribe guess
ed his identity Each addressed
him as “Father."
The "Edge of Doom” company
worked throughout th" area and
aroused no particular interest
from the inhabitants None of the
other members of the troupe, in
cluding Farley Granger and Joan
Evans, who co-star with Andrews
in the picture, and Director Mark
Robson, was ever given a “pitch”
for a piece of change.
"Something else puzzled me,"
Dana recalls. "Nobody ever want
ed more than $2. Usually it was
two bits or four bits. Generally
'Father, I'm down on my luck.'
The last night of shooting the
company finished with camera
work at midnight. Dana doffed
his priest’s garb, put on slacks
and a sport jacket, and took over
a neighborhood resturant for din
ners to all the area's denizens who
could crowd into the place.

The Origin Of
Santa Clans
Old Santa Claus, without whom
no Christmas would be complete,
is a subject of traditions running
back hundreds of years, in fact
to the fifth century. The name it
self is a variation of Saint Nich
olas, who was an Archbishop. But
from this part of fact the Saint
has been a wanderer. He firs* ap
pears in Northland as a figure re
sembling our modern fancy of
death, riding a white horse. He
was followed around on Christmas
Eve by the souls of little children,
supposedly those slain by Herod
in his attempt to kill the Baby
Jesus. So at Yuletide children
placed their wooden shoes full of
oats beside the door, for the white
horse, and in the morning there!
would be, in place of the oats, I
nuts and fruits.
Later, in Germany, he was seen,j
or pictured, as a tall, thin fellow
wearing a peaked hat: his pockets
filled with sugar plums for the |
;children. It was not until he came!
! to America that he became the'
' fat round, beaming elf that every

Nicholas would present them. The

young girls were long purses, but
