AWM/WWWW\ \V\YVVVt\\WtVVW "Do you know that a GLAMOROUS NEW SKIN is 'ABOUT to be BORN' to you?" I vvvw/vwvvvvvi\wvvvwvvvvvvvvvvvv^ Vivien Leigh arrived at the swanky "Rebecca" preview with a box of chocolates and Larry Olivier (Larry is simply wonderful as Max de Winter). In the rush for autographs the chocolates were knocked out of her hand and the Chinese lobby was one grand mess of squashed chocolate. Hollywood's latest wrinkle, introduced by comely Rita Hayworth, is hosiery made from the sheerest of steel thread. All further bidders for Dorothy Lamour's sarongs — of which there've been hundreds, spread over six or more pictures— will have to content themselves with copies or nothing at all. "I've sent the one I wore in 'Typhoon' to an Arabian sheik to make a turban of," Dorothy announced. "Three to college fraternities, one to a museum, and several more to personal friends. And I'm disposing of the remaining sarongs in the way I like best. I'm having them shredded and woven into a rag rug." The sheik who adores Dotty is Ghazi Khair, seventeen-year-old nephew of the Sheik of Amman, Transjordania. He loves her so much he has enrolled in the American school in his uncle's capital so he may write to his beloved in her native tongue. Something new. Bona Massey returned from a trip back East wearing a very simple coiled bracelet. She achieved the unusual by wearing the bracelet on a black ' dress, high above the elbow. Under the auspices of the Tailwaggers, Academy Awards were presented to the Hollywood, dogs this year at a cocktail party at the Grace Hayes Lodge. Bette Davis and Hugh Herbert acted as judges. Asta won the award for the best actor performance of the year, and won a beautiful new hydrant. And Daisy {the pooch of the ''Blondie" series) won the best actress performance of the year. Of course, a little dirty work went on somewhere because, ■ after all, Daisy is no lady, she's a gentleman, and had no right to that award. « — — » The cutest couple in town are Deanna Durbin and Vaughn Paul, young assistant cameraman at her studio. Deanna is getting a little annoyed about the gossip columnists predicting marriage dates — all different — for her. She thinks a girl ought to have a B.F. with whom she can dance and go to movies, without everybody shouting orange blossoms. Paul is her boy friend all right, she admits with a smile, but marriage is something else again. "Mr. Pasternak won't even let me get married in my pictures," says Deanna. One of the excitements at Ciro's the other evening was Margaret Sidlavan's appearance sporting her brand new hair style, which had all the women wondering ' if they coidd copy it and look that young. Maggie's new hair-do has as its inspiration the Dutch bobs of another era. The bangs swirl with natural sweep. The ends of the hair curl upward, or inward, at will. Try it. But you may not look like Margaret Sullavan. You may just look like hell. Joan Crawford's two famous dachshunds will make their film debut with her in "Susan and God."
