...Badel as a weirdly wild-eyed John the Baptist, and Stewart Granger as an intrepid Roman commander. Actress Hayworth does her best in the dance of the seven veils. With choreography by Valerie Bettis, Rita is the very picture of a Galilean glamour girl in an off-the-shoulder gown by Jean Louis hairdo by Helen Hunt, and make-up by Clay Campbell. She wriggles, writhes and undulates through this predecessor of the modern striptease with such abandon, as she methodically removes as many veils (six) as the law and the Breen Office will allow, that moviegoers may come away...
...stage were some from Europe's top designers-Dior, Fath, Balenciaga, Visconti. But the dress that brought the house down was "First Love," the product of an almost unknown Irish woman. Designed by Dublin's 32-year-old Sybil Connolly, it was a dazzling white ball gown made of gossamer-thin handkerchief linen.

Finally, at 2 a.m.. after a grueling, 18-hour day, Mamie and Ike got into the same beds which Harry...
...public darling, at not one but two inaugural balls. Her costume, however, will be far less regal than that of President Tyler's second wife, "the Rose of Long Island," who received on a dais, wearing a crownlike headdress of bugles: Mamie's glittering, wide-skirted inaugural gown, designed by Nettie Rosenstein and purchased from Texas' Neiman-Marcus, is of pale rose poult-de-soie, bespangled by 2,000 rhinestones in varying shades of pink. Mrs. Eisenhower's junior partners as official Washington hostesses are the wives of Cabinet officers. Mrs. John Foster Dulles has been...
