...Like an Angel. That night, at the Greek Embassy, they entertained the Eisenhowers at a dinner for 50, next morning continued resolutely to Philadelphia and New York. This week, in the space of 48 hours, they attended Greek Orthodox services at Manhattan's Hellenic Cathedral, lunched with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt at Hyde Park, rode up Broadway in a ticker-tape storm, lunched at the Waldorf with Mayor Impellitteri and 1,500 other New Yorkers, accepted an honorary degree (King Paul can add Doctor of Humane Letters to his many titles) from Columbia University, dined with U.N. officials twice...
...famed rickety railways in Punch; and "Sky," in which a pair of crescent moons dance around a corona-circled sun and lesser heavenly bodies ($3.95 each, produced by Pace Design Studios, Chicago). ¶Seasonal groups, such as "Santa," featuring a robust St. Nick, a reindeer and a star-carrying angel, all suspended from a crescent moon; and "Spring," a versatile, pastel menage of rabbits, flowers, birds and butterflies ($1 and $1.95, Scamanda Mobiles, Manhattan). ¶Decorative abstractions, such as Sculptor Marechal Brown's "Tapered Quills," looking like giant buffalo teeth strung on an Indian brave's necklace...

Cheers and attention started coming Felicia's way last winter, soon after she recorded Moulin Rouge. She was booked into Manhattan's Blue Angel nightclub almost before she knew it, and before she had decided just what her stage personality should be. Reviewers for Variety and Billboard made identical report: "This thrush [is a] comer." But when the run was over, thoughtful Felicia went home to Los Angeles for some hard work on her voice and material...
Last week, back in the Blue Angel before packed audiences, Felicia was showing the results of her study. Wearing a plain black dress with a demure neckline, she sang with her hands pressed flat to her sides, used her face to help express the music. Her voice, which last winter often verged on a maudlin wobble, was fine-grained and pure even when she let it out in the climaxes.
