original captions:

OLIVIA de HAVILLAND Olivia planned to be a teacher. But, when she was eighteen, Professor Max Reinhardt wooed her from the schoolroom with the role of Hermia in his Hollywood Bowl production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Whereupon, signed to a screen contract, Olivia began creating roles that were outstanding movie treats—like her Jody Norris in Paramount’s “To Each His Own.” For autumn and winter too—a Doris Dodson dress with a gay plaid wool skirt of the new length and a bewitchingly demure black velvet top. Sizes 7-15. About $15.00 at R.H. White’s, Boston, Mass., and Blauner’s, Philadelphia, Pa.

OLIVIA de HAVILLAND She’s 5' 4" tall, weighs 107 pounds and has brown eyes and hair. She’s partial to cross-word puzzles, chrysanthemums, the color blue and cold French lamb chops dipped in salt. She dislikes snakes, parsnips, cooking, cigarette smoke and elevators. She looks charmingly Victorian. But she is as modern as tomorrow. Perfect for fun all year 'round—this threepiece outfit by Koret of California. All color combinations. Jacket $15.00. Blouse $5.00. Pants $6.95. Sizes 12-18 at Sanger Bros., Dallas, Tex., The Hub, Baltimore, Md.
