STOCKIN glamour girls who have the best-looking legs in Hollywood, says Willys. "The most beautiful legs in the world are in Hollywood," declares the hosiery expert, "and the most beautiful legs in Hollywood belong to these six stars, all of whom have perfect leg measurements." The average extra girl in Hollywood, adds Willys, has far better-looking legs than the average chorus girl of Broadway's musical shows and night clubs. A more athletic life on the part of the screen supernumeraries, and the tendency to wear more sport clothes with accompanying low-heeled shoes, is the explanation he gives.
