...Designer McCardell, garments must have a reason. After shivering on shipboard during a transatlantic trip in a flimsy, French-designed evening wrap she turned out a wrap in tweed. She went skiing, got cold ears, did a wool-jersey hood. After lugging a trunk and five suitcases around Europe, she decided to save space by making dresses in parts, switching the pieces around for variety-a bare top and covered-up top, for example, to be worn alternately with shorts, slacks or short or long skirts. That was one of the fashion world's first important experiments with "separates...
Rosebuds & Tragedy. Claire spent two years at Frederick's Hood College, then quit, over her father's objections, to switch to Manhattan's Parsons School of Design (where she now is a part-time consultant). She studied for a year in Paris, working part time as a tracer of fashion sketches, and learned "the way clothes worked, the way they felt, where they fastened." Back in New York, she got a job painting rosebuds on lampshades for a store, did some modeling at B. Altman, became a designer in a knit-goods company at $45 a week...
...versatility of the cast becomes more apparent upon a re-viewing. Colgate Salsbury's Treasure Island scene, for example, is a high point of the first act. Barbara Forester as Red Riding Hood is a far cry from Mona Lisa, and a good thing too. Miss Forester is a muggy, engaging comedienne.

As for Clare Scott, were the HDC not egalitarian and had Peabody Playhouse a marquee, her name would be at the top, she is certainly the star...
...Colgate Salsbury for another of the evening's best features. The hokum about Arabs and the Foreign Legion which preceded it, like much of the Stephen Charnas-Andre Gregory book, seemed diffuse and veering almost instinctively toward the trite. Their happiest moment was a parody of Little Red Riding Hood which held its own pretty well with Jack Webb's and the score of other lampoons. Their version of an opera rehearsal was good fun too, although the staging sometimes let affected confusion substitute for hilarity...
...treasury. But this year's parade was the first since Castillo Armas took power, and the students naturally honored him as Target No. 1. One float kidded his anti-Communist revolution last June. A wolf decked out in hammers and sickles was stopped from devouring a Red Riding Hood named Guatemala by an ax blow from Uncle Sam. On the axhead: a picture of Castillo Armas. Another joshed his style of rule by decree, showing him whipping up two mules labeled "Congress" and "Courts." The motto of his revolution, Dios, Patria y Libertad, was devastatingly changed on the float...
