Institute Reveals Starlet Has Legs Just Like Venus De Milo
Hollywood—(U.P.)—Ever wonder what kind of legs Venus De Milo had? Leg expert Willys of Hollywood says you can take a squint at Franca Faldini's gams and get a good idea.
Willys says Franca's pins have the same measurements as the famous statue of the Roman goddess of love and beauty.
Now if you've ever seen the statue you'll know her legs don't show. They're draped with a marble tunic.
But this doesn't slow our stocking expert down one bit. He says he dug up the measurements on Venus' pins from the Smithsonian institute, where they keep things like that on file, and who can argue with a man who can recite you the leg measurements of every beauty queen from Rita Haworth to Marlene Dietrich?
"Historians know," Willis said
firmly. "Her ankles measured 81⁾²¹
inches, her calves 13⁾²¹, her knees
13⁾²¹, and her thighs 19⁾²¹."
They arrived at these statistics, he revealed, through something called "figure proportions" and "tunic calculations."

DOWN'S TRAVEL SERVICE
20-year-old Italian actress with exotic green eyes, she's spent a lot of time in concentration camps where they don't issue many 24-karat gold stockings.

Get it vulcanized?"

Willys said he took one squint at Franca's pins and "knew at a glance" she and Venus had the same skapely stems.
They've even got her glove size— seven.
"Ive been looking for Venus' leg for 25 years," he said breathlessly "I was so excited I went right down to my factory and made Franca a pair of 24 karat gold-plated stockings."
Quicker than you could say "18 denier, 66 gauge" Willys whipped out the yellow measuring tape he carries for emergencies like this and found out he was right, by golly.
France pulled $250 worth of gold-dipped nylon on each leg and pranced to work in Hal Wallis' "Sailor Beware," starring Martin and Lewis.
Franca was properly impressed. A

Music Hating Male Almost Extinct Today
New York—(U.R.) The husband who used to snore his way through a concert is waking up.
"In fact," said blonde Hazel Griggs, a concert pianist, "the music-hating male is becoming extinct."
Miss Griggs, who comes from Dallas, drew that men used to doze through musicales because they didn't know music.
She might illustrate various styles
That's changing now, she said,
thanks to radio and such musicians
as herself who educate as they entertain.
Miss Griggs explained that "more people are hearing serious music these days, and when you are exposed to it, you can enjoy it. That goes for men too."
Miss Griggs admitted women still are the leaders in bringing concert artists to their towns.
"That's easy to explain," she said. "Women have more time for these things. I find more and more men in my audience however."
The pianist, who has been giving concerts for 12 years, guaranteed no man would sleep through one of her sessions.
"I keep them awake one way or another," she said. Her audience gets what she called an "academic concert."
"I tell them about harmony, theme, motif and such," she said. But I sugar-coat their education. Parents like to feel they're being taught."
Sometimes, she admitted, her audiences isn't with her, no matter how she tries to pull them in. She recalled that once, giving a concert in Chengio for teenagers, she could sense the listeners were getting restless as she played a modern, unfamiliar number.

So I just swung into Gershwin, she said. "Pretty soon, as they say, the joint was jumpin'.
The pianist began her unusual
contours after a trip to Europe to
study.
"When I returned," she said, "I was amazed to find people just weren't going to hear concert artists anymore. And yet, in Houston—one of the towns I played—I found 200 piano teachers."
She figured that with so many teachers, students, who in turn were listeners,
"I finally decided they weren't there because we so-called artists were just too high-brow," she said. "We played and expected them to listen . . . without letting them share in what we were done."
