Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1954)

In Korea, the star’s dressing room was a couple of pieces of canvas stretched across a corner of the stage. But though the weather was chilly, Marilyn’s recep ■ tion by enthusiastic G.I. audiences was warm. Draped over the canvas is the nowfamous purple cocktail gown that she wore during her whirlwind Korean tour I than having a career, but of course would like to have a happy combination of the two. Joe seconded this notion by adding, i “There is no reason why career and mar' riage won’t mix; it is going on every day all around us.” I cite these examples to show you the Monroe in action, and you’ll have to admit, Ij any kind of action with her is interesting 1 1 and newsworthy. ; ' Five days after Marilyn arrived she , ^ visited the Tokyo Army Hospital. The , '■ ■ place really went into a tail spin when ' ^ : word reached the patients that she ^ ? planned to visit. They were told she would J be in the Red Cross lounge on the 7th I 4 floor, and, somehow or other, the wards ; ; were emptied as elevator loads of patients I reached the lounge. Afterwards, when she made a tour of the wards, the boys kept her busy autographing their casts! When Marilyn went out shopping on the j j Ginza, which is similar to New York’s Fifth Avenue or Hollywood’s Wilshire Boule, : vard, she learned about kimonos and Japa^ nese women. The Monroe was surprised !i to find out that the Japanese woman al[ 4 ways wears an underslip (shirt) with the kimono. ^ I In fact, the Japanese woman makes it J ; a point that the kimono is long enough i I so her ankles don’t show, and many of I them take short steps and walk pigeon[ toed so as not to reveal the ankle. The i Japanese women, Marilyn was told, are ! very modest. \ This was confusing to Marilyn when she i and Joe visited Miyanoshita, a prominent J resort outside of Tokyo, and discovered ■ there that it is not considered immodest for men and women to indulge in nude bathing together. However, one Japanese custom delighted our Mon-chan. She has been practicing it for years in the United States.
