If you hocked your jewels you couldn't buy finer fit! Now you can breathe easy. . . because every time you inhale, this bra expands as you do! (And some women expand up to two inches.) It's done with bias-cut panels, a fabric that really gives! And look: extra-wide shoulder straps for extra comfort. Yes, of course you can afford it — even with no jewels to hock. The price is just $2.95. Get ETERNAL YOUTH® b^ BEST FORM new movies (Continued from page 7) THE GENE KRUPA STORY sal Mineo Susan Kohner Sal Mineo at the drums 'sSS^au^ Yvonne Craig ■ Well, it begins in Chicago in the '20's. Gene (Sal Mineo) wants to be a drummer, but when he brings home a set of drums his father destroys them; his father wants him to be a priest. Sal rebels, plays in a jazz band organized by his friend James Darren and is much admired by girls (especially Yvonne Craig and Susan Kohner). When his father dies, dutiful Sal enters a seminary. It isn't for him. Despite the bitterness and disappointment of his mother (Celia Lovsky), he takes his drums to New York and, with driving ambition, works his way up to the big-time. Success ruins his romance with Susan Kohner and, temporarily ruins him (girls, girls, girls — parties, parties, parties) ! And one day policemen find marijuana in his overcoat pocket. After ninety days in jail and months without work, Sal makes a comeback — looking startlingly unchanged. YouH hear some good music, and swinging singing by songstress Anita O'Day. — Columbia. THE GAZEBO corpse in the house Debbie Reynolds Glenn Ford Carl Reiner John McGiver Mabel Albertson ■ Broadway star Debbie Reynolds once made the mistake of posing for photos in the nude. Now her husband, TV director Glenn Ford, is paying for it. Blackmail. Ford would do anything to protect his wife's reputation; he'd even commit murder. That's where the gazebo comes in and where the high-pitched hilarity of this movie goes distinctly off-key. A gazebo is a round open-air platform with a high roof. Ladies like to put one in the garden and serve tea there. Ford would drink tea there if he weren't upset by the fact that a corpse is buried under it. He buried it. This whole movie revolves around Glenn's nitwit attempts first to pay off the blackmailer without making Debbie suspicious, and secondly to turn that blackmailer into the aforementioned corpse. Everybody's so gay about it you'd think murder was almost as good a game as Monopoly. — MGM. RECOMMENDED MOVIES BEN-HUR (MGM): The magnificent spectacle of Ben-Hur opens with a prologue of dazzling beauty — scenes of the birth of Christ — and moves into the conflict between the Judean prince Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) and Roman Tribune Messala (Stephen Boyd). Boyd finally condemns Heston to galley slavery, puts his mother (Martha Scott) and sister (Kathy O'Donnell) into a dungeon. Jack Hawkins, as a Roman Commander who rescues Heston, and Haya Harareet, an ex-slave who loves him, figure prominently in this story of the triumph of the new kind of love taught by Christ. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY (United Artists) : David Niven and Mitzi Gaynor are successful, chic, proud parents (of Kevin Coughlin, Patty Duke) and happily married. Happily, that is, until David's in-laws give them a 13th anniversary present — a TV set. An enraged David tells how it all really began in a happily unmarried state fourteen years ago. Well! AM that follows is complicated but good fun. HOUND-DOG MAN (Cinemascope, 20th-Fox) : Fabian wants to go hunting with hound-dog man Stuart Whitman. Fabian's folks, Arthur O'Connell and Betty Field, finally let him go, with misgivings. The hunters meet Carol Lynley (bachelor Whitman likes her), find a pal, on the trail, with a broken leg. After the leg-setting, there's a barn party where Fabe's father proves to everybody he's pretty brave, and to Fabian that home isn't such a bad place, after all. This is Fabian's first picture.
