...comedienne, retains her dignity through several assaults of whimsy that would shake a saint. In one dreary episode, she is conned into buying scanty costumes for the school band. In another, she sends a shy little nun off to help a pack of screaming girls shop for their first brassières. Director Ida Lupino lets Angels swing lowest when she introduces a lay teacher, clad in passionate purple, whose specialty is "interpretive movement." Gypsy Rose Lee plays the part with all the boop-de-doo phoniness a second-rate show deserves...

When a defense attorney objected that "there is not a scintilla of evidence as to their use," Judge Will said gently: "Do you mean you don't know what a brassi...
...Brassières like Maidenform's nylon net ($4) and Vanity Fair's stretch band ($4) are every bit as rudimentary as Rudi's: they may get by splayed out on a department-store counter, but displayed-even on 100% synthetic mannequins-in show windows, they are likely to stop traffic, start riots, and end up as exhibits in night court. Even those with a bit more substance to them, like Bien Jolie's flowered-net version ($11) and Warner's "The Body" ($12.50), are sheer enough to read through, small print included...
