PARTY TIME (Continued from page 68) what I was thinking because she said, 'Well, you can sit on my half of the chair.' So I did and that's the picture you see. Bette's husband, Gary Merrill, was in the picture, too." (4) Jean Hersholt— "He's Dr. Christian, you know. Told me he had been in radio for fourteen years." (5) Van Johnson—"When he came in I said, 'There's my guy!' Everybody laughed but I really didn't mean it that way. I meant that I was real excited about seeing Van Johnson because I'd heard that he had big, green freckles. Now that may sound funny, but that's what I'd heard back in Wichita Falls. Of course, he doesn't have green freckles — his are red like anyone else who has freckles. But I was happy to see for myself." A week after the dinner, Mrs. Coxen returned to Carnation Family Time to offer proof to the audience that "movie stars are people." And emcee Jay Stewart, who had escorted Mrs. Coxen to the dinner, had some tales of his own to tell about Mrs. Coxen's adventure in movieland. "f I ihe hotel was loaded with autoX. graph hounds and when Judy arrived, they all said, 'Who's she? Who's she?' She was pretty enough to be a movie star." Carnation Family Party had given Mrs. Coxen the full Cinderella treatment. "We took her to Lucille's," explained Jay. "Lucille's exquisite taste never fails and she helped Judy choose a beautiful dress to wear." "It really was beautiful!" said Judy. "Black nylon net and off the shoulder." "Not all of it," quipped Jay. "I mean it was strapless," said Judy to the laughing audience. "And the Westmore people groomed her to look even prettier than a movie star," said Jay. At the Beverly Hills Hotel, the first stars Judy met were Shelley Winters and Farley Granger. "Shelley's really very nice," said Judy. "Then I met Loretta Young. She's simply out of this world. She kept talking to me just as if she knew me for always. She was real nice. Then there was Elizabeth Taylor. I was quite interested in her. She's very beautiful, I had a little chat with her." After the dinner — breast of chicken under glass and ice cream with strawberries were the items Judy remembered — she and Jay went up to the balcony to watch the awards ceremony. "Ronald Reagan passed out all the awards," explained Judy. "MGM got one for 'Battleground.' And John Wayne for 'Sands of Iwo Jima.' When it was all over, we went out into the hallway to watch people. We saw Hedda Hopper, Louella Parsons, Mercedes McCambridge — just everybody!" Mrs. Coxen expressed no doubt when Jay asked her if she thought she'd proved the question. "I think movie stars are wonderful!" she said. "Honestly, they're just like people that could be next-door neighbors. They treat you just that nice. And I want to say, Mr. Stewart, that I enjoyed helping you prove this one immensely!" •To banish "tattle-tale gray," and always have your wash look cleaner, smell cleaner and be_ cleaner, nothing succeeds like Fels-Naptha Soap.
