...modern adaptation, Cinderella naturally becomes a musical, a feat accomplished rather easily with the sprightly tunes of Dick Brown and Clarence Chang, and the lyrics of Lucy Barry and company. Brown's first song, "Mother Knows Best" is a little too much of the brass musical to be comprehended by children, but adults roar with delight at the Broadway step and brash voices of Maryanne Goldsmith, Sally Shoop, and Anne Adams. Most of the other songs, which were written by Chang, are better suited to infant ears, and Brown redeems himself with the finale--"Flowers Are Dancing...

There were breathless stops at all the tourist musts-the Lincoln Memorial, Supreme Court, Smithsonian Institution, National Gallery of Art and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Every few minutes...
While McCardell styles are simple, they can be identified by such things as spaghetti-like ties, big brass hooks and eyes, and a daring use of color. In her 1955 summer line, brick-red shorts ($12) are made to be worn with a long-sleeved orange blouse ($23); a boxy, pullover beach shirt ($18) is done in orange and hot pink. There is a Persian crushed-cotton dress of turquoise, moss green, red and chartreuse ($40), and a straight-from-the-shoulder swim dress of brass-colored cotton with an orange tie at the neck...
