WITH Lf NIT THEA again demonstrates her matchless flair for intimate-fashion design with this exquisite hostess robe of flowered, petal-fresh organdy. Washable? "Yes, indeed," says Mme. Tewi, "provided you starch it with UNIT." This finest of laundry starches restores original finish ... helps all cottons stay fresh and unrumpled 'tween launderiiigs. or a sturdier fabric such as a housedress, man's shirt, sheet or curtain — if it's cotton it needs starching with UNIT.* Easy-tofollow directions for using this penetrating starch on every package. Ask your grocer for UNIT. FOR THE a 1 Mirf *LINIT is a registered" trade-mark of Corn Products Refining Co., New York, N. Y. C. P. R. Co., 1948 sweet and by leonard feather * 'Highly Recommended 'Recommended No Stars: Average FROM THE MOVIES BORDERTOWN TRAILS -It's My Lazy Day: Vaughn Monroe (Victor). THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES— title song: Buddy Clark (Columbia). PALEFACE -Buttons and Bows: *Dinah Shore (Columbia); Gene Autry (Columbia). Is this a trend? Last month Vaughn Monroe teamed with the Sons of the Pioneers for a Western musical sandwich called Cool Water; now comes Dinah Shore with her Happy Valley Boys for a sage1 brush serenade accompanied by Sonny Burke with boots, saddles and accordion. Bob Hope sings this one in the picture, longing for the good old East "where the cement grows." Maybe the Autry treatment is more authentic, but for novelty we'll take Dinah. ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS —It's You Or No One: *Doris Day (Columbia). I'm In Love: Doris Day and Buddy Clark (Columbia ) . See also several previous listings for other songs. I'm In Love is the unhappiest "happy song" ever; Doris grapples with it adequately, as she did in the picture, with the aid here of the Bostonian. THAT LADY IN ERMINE — This Is the Moment; *Tony Martin (Victor); *Jo Stafford (Capitol); Dinah Shore (Columbia); Larry Clinton (Decca); George Paxton (M-G-M). This Is The Moment was originally the title of the picture; it's still the name of the principal song involved. There's another very pleasant tune supposedly from the same film — There's Something About Midnight, sung by Margaret Whiting on Capitol — but I suspect it can be found on the cutting room floor. TWO GUYS FROM TEXAS -Every Day I Love You and There's Music In The Land: Harry James (Columbia) . (See last month's list.) HOT JAZZ COUNT BASIE — Seventh Avenue Express (Victor). ARNETT COBB— Cobb's Boogie (Apollo). DIZZY GILLESPIE—*: teca (Victor). Bebop with a an beat — exciting. BENNY GOODMAN SL —Cherokee (Capitol) . SY OLIVER — *Scotty \ G-M). An unusual instrumental — sounds like a mixture of Duke Ellington and Tommy Dorsey. ALBUMS BENNY GOODMAN-PEGGY LEE — *Eight tunes (Columbia) . Recorded around 1941-2 when Peggy was Benny's vocalist. For some odd reason most of Peggy's best vocals from that period [How Long Has This Been Going On, The Lamp of Memory, etc.) aren't included. It's still nicely nostalgic. KING COLE FOR KIDS — *Six sides (Capitol). The most delightful children's album I've heard — a perfect gift for the young. ROY ROGERS —Souvenir Album (Victor). Title songs from Don't Fence Me In, San Fernando Valley, A Gay Rancher o and five other Republic sagebrush specials.
