Ann Blyth and Piper Laurie help Janie guess what's under the fancy ribbons at Jane Powell's baby shower held at Thistle Inn. SINCE Jane Powell, known to Hollywood's younger set as Mrs. Geary Steffan, danced and sang to new heights of fame with Fred Astaire in "Royal Wedding," she has taken off some time to become a mother. Many of Hollywood's younger actresses attended a baby shower for her at Thistle Inn where storks, rattles and other unbreakable animals vied with soft, woolly things for the new arrival's comfort. Betty Lynn gave the shower for Janie, who was her most appreciative and lovable self. Janie is thrilled to settle down for awhile and just be Mrs. Geary Steffan, young wife and mother. Betty Lynn, who gave the shower for Jane, Piper Laurie, Ann Blyth and Janie examine the gifts. Joan Leslie, on the right, kids Jane since she has just had twins herself. Betty Lynn, Janie and Amanda Blake join in the laughs.
