/ Tlioto by Campbell Studios t She is the sort who would choose the most pleasant thing. There is a softness to her — not in the disparaging sense of the word at all — it is rather an allenveloping femininity Above and center, new portraits and, below, in "Other Men's Shoes" HER press agent came in first. In fact, I didn't know she was in the building — Irene Boyle, I mean. It was while we were talking about her in the Edgar Lewis production, "Other Men's Shoes," which marks her return to the cinema fold, that he nonchalantly remarked that she was downstairs talking to the advertising director.
