Who knows her husband’s nose” — with priceless reactions from Shirley Temple, Janet Blair, Esther Williams
Gala Get-ups: Ciro’s was packed to the doors with stars galore in every kind of costume at the come-as-yourchildhood-ambition ball given by the Hollywood Press Photographers. Cal and his guest, Gabriel Tudela, had first gone to Bob Hutton’s for cocktails and almost fell through the floor at the sight of Bob as a bearded maharajah. “I’m wearing Gary Cooper’s satin trousers and Tyrone Power’s embroidered coat,” he said. The garments were parts of costumes worn by the actors in various pictures. Cleatus Hutton was ravishing as a slave girl and the other guests were director Fred de Cordova as an Indian potentate and pretty Martha Vickers as a Hindu princess.
Shirley Temple and her husband, John Agar, along with Janet Blair, Lou Busch, Esther Williams and Ben Gage participated in the funniest event of the evening. Ralph Edwards, the devil on the Truth or Consequences program, chose these three young married couples and told them he was sure after a year of married life the wives could recognize their respective husbands by their
noses. So to test their ability he brought a large screen out on the dance floor and had the men hide behind it. There were slits for their noses. The girls were to pick their husbands — by the nose! The first time all the girls chose the same nose — Janet Blair’s husband, Lou Busch! Then Esther and Shirley argued over the second nose and after much confusion all was straightened out and each gal left with her own spouse.
Eddie Bracken furnished great hilarity by being on the receiving end of several lemon pies! Eddie’s wife was called to the floor and given a script with jokes which she was to take backstage and rehearse for ten minutes then return and attempt to make the audience laugh. What she didn’t know was that while she was backstage they brought Eddie out and placed him behind a wooden board with a hole cut in it large enough to put his head through. The point was to throw lemon pies in his face each time Mrs. Bracken told a joke in order to insure laughter from the audience and make Mrs. Bracken think they were amused at her jokes.
