...cart and horse, too often showed in what might have been called the super-calisthenicization of his choreography. Yet Hawkins frequently attained a timeless mood in such Oriental-flavored works as Dawn Dazzled Door. The psuedo-Apollonian Angels of the Inmost Heaven featured a quartet of beauties who appeared topless to the accompaniment of a quintet of brass. Although Hawkins deployed the girls with such ritualistic restraint that the effect was almost asexual, the work succeeded in one kind of choreography that few other companies in the marathon have mastered: the concerted movement of large numbers of people past...
RUDI GERNREICH is one of the few designers to see the funny side of fashion. The topless bathing suit was a typical Gernreichian prank - and it drew plenty of publicity. When he unveiled his spring line in New York City last week, Gernreich brought the house down with a four-sleeved dress.

This enables women of unorthodox proportions to jigger the sizes as they must, but might in time encourage the economical shopper to go topless to the beach-or bottomless...
...make, and a camera crew is filming the scene. As a French gunman who flies into L.A. to assassinate a gang boss, Trintignant says very little in the movie, which is just as well, since he barely speaks English. Most of his dialogue is with Ann-Margret, as a topless dancer who shelters him when he is on the lam-and in such circumstances, who needs English...
