c EXHIBITOR Miss Dorsey, in Hartford, Conn., ahead of the MGM color musical, demonstrates her swimming stroke to Lou Cohen, Loew-Poli manager, left, and Lou Brown, Loew-Poli New England Theatres' advertising and publicity chief. The mermaids proved a publicity sensation everywhere on their national tours. Miss Reed does a "Living Fashion Show" in Cleveland on Maggi Byrne's TV show, proving she is as lovely in a gown as in a bathing suit. Miss Dorsey assists Violet Hale with a fashion commentary over WFIL-TV while in Philadelphia. Posing prettily, Miss Dorsey models an Annette Kellerman suit in the L. L. Berger store, Buffalo. Kathryn Reed, midwest mermaid, nibbles a shrimp offered by Herb Read, Jr., at a Pittsburgh party. Joan McKellen, touring the south on behalf of MGM's "Million Dollar Mermaid," takes part in a special television program put on by Loew's Grand, Atlanta, over WAGA-TV. She made 28 radio and TV appearances. Miss Dorsey, touring the east, tries to teach Floyd Fitzsimmons, MGM Boston and New Haven press representative, to swim. The illusion was created by photographing life-size cutouts of the two in the MIT pool. February 18, 1953
