Enter The
Fashion Show
The well-dressed man about
town and campus must always be
particular concerning his mode of
dress. With today's fast moving
st'yle changes and the trend
towards less conservative styles
for all types of dress, today's Beau
Brummel must be on his toes.
Evening wear has felt the ef
fects of fashions for the carefree.
Yesterday's black tie and cummer
bund have gone the way of all anti
quated apparel, and are replaced
by such innovations as plaid en
sembles. Jackets also are now of
fered in the various colors of the
clan, with matching stripes on the
tux trousers.
Careeree Living Style
It seems that America is going
for a type of dress more in tune
with the carefree living of, today.
No longer is the classic model of
the staid Englishman the proto
type of the modern American Man.
Today what is accepted as com
fortable, yet in good taste, is the
criterion of our stylistic changes.
For town dress the usual cus
toms are still practiced. Dark
suits and matching accessories are
always pleasing and in the true
collegiate spirit. Tweed sports
coats are coming into their own
again and we can expect to see
more of them with the coming
seasons.
Offset Dark Tones
To offset the depressing tone of
(lark suits the individual may find
an outlet for his soaring moods by
choosing his jewelry with an eye
to complementing his spirit. The
accessories may have the unique
touch which the actual garment
lacks. A personal monogram or
golden pictorial is fully acceptable
and often a credit to a young
squire's nature.
For the nth degree in fashion
the debonaire and fastidious go
further than their immediate per
sonal dress. Automobile tires are
now available in colors to match
the taste and dress of those who
desire them.
In short, today's man of leisure
.is the pace setter and can be ex
pected to be heard from for new
changes in the future.

Early in the summer, Johnn;
Desmond got a crack at a key rol
on the Philco Television Playhouse
He parlayed his dramatic per
formance and his treatment of th
title song, Play Me Hearts an
Flowers, into the biggest break o
his 15 years as a show busines
professional.
Now he's under contract t
Philco, whose big bankroll will ge
him plenty of television exposur
in the coming years towards
strong identification with th
company's products. And, a
another outgrowth of his tele
vision triumph, Johnny goes int
rehearsal in October for his firs
legitimate show, a Broadwa;
musical tentatively titled Amazin
Adele. Recordwise, his Coral wax
ing of The Yellow Rose of Texa
is still riding high on the chart.
"I've had big breaks before
plenty of them," Johnny says, "bu
I was never really ready for then
With Hearts and Flowers I thin
I was ready on all counts. I ha
had a great opportunity to scor
after my hitch in the Army, whe
they were billing me as the 'G. I
Sinatra,' but I wasn't up to it."
Records and Radio
Johnny was referring to th
Victor recording contract and th
two network radio shows that wer
thrown his way after he gaine
prominence as vocalist with th
late Glenn Miller's army banc
Before that, when he was just
youngster, Johnny had been fea
tured singer with Gene Krupa.
After the war he had soared t
a $3,600 per .week performer, bu
Johnny, in his own words, "laid
bomb." The Victor contract an
the radio shows went out the win
dow as quickly as they had corn
mn.
He retreated from New Yor1
to rebuild the confidence that ha
been kicked out of him when h
failed, and he moved his famil:
to Chicago. There he became th
singing star of Don .McNeil'
Breakfast Club, earned himself
Coral recording contract, and wa
productive of at least a coupl
medium-sized hits per year.
About a year ago, when he fel
he was ready to try New Yorl
