1967 JACK SMITH A Fond Look at L.A. Woman Who is Sylvia?" sang Shakespeare, mystified like all men by the female of the species. "What Is she?" Today, though, the words go, "Who is Sylvia? What's wrong with her?" It is open, season on the psyche of the American woman, with special attention to a supposed sub-species Los Angeles women. Psychiatrists, sociologists, physicians, clergymen even the milkman and the postman are joining in a morbid examination of the patient, who is widely thought to have become detached, if not teched. A national magazine recently caricatured the new "Los Angeles woman" as a drugged, mini-skirted hustler who is dead at 23 figuratively, at least, and sometimes literally.

Los Angeles magazine, less cynical but hardly gallant, tried to rescue the creature from this premature oblivion in a recent issue. "The Sunset Strip Girl, the Beach Girl, the Teenybopper, the Score Girl reaches the age of 25 and either dies or evaporates," the magazine concedes. But then a miracle Miss Teenybopper, or whatever, turns into "Realwoman," taking up PTA, golf, TV, gossips charity, ceramics and children, like her sisters in Peoria and Trenton. Still, L.A. fears, something is wrong with our Sylvia.

It is nothing less, suggests one of the magazine's writers, Myron. Roberts, than the death of her gods. The great i movie queens, the larger-than-life American prototypes who set the patterns of style, tone and conduct for a nation of women in (cinema's Golden Age, have evaporated, like the Teenybopper. They are figuratively or literally gone. Harlow, Crawford, Colbert, Lombard, Bette Davis -all gone, displaced Dy bunnies and robots.

they were very sharp and unique individuals," Roberts recalls. "They had that indefinable quality called character." I remember. Every girl I courted back in that Golden Age was a type, an understudy to a goddess. Crawford, Harlow, Colbert, Lombard, Davis. A young lady who was in a Colbert phase, for example, was always bright and piquant, with a dignified sense of fun, and a tendency to grow suddenly pensive, up with enormous, deep, dark eyes.

The Colbert girl I knew, though, had small blue eyes and had to be home by 11 o'clock. Sometimes a man would ask a Lombard out, thinking the evening would be a lark, only to have her turn into Bette Davis on him, in one of Miss Davis' more shrewish moments. It could be hell, especially if the young man hadn't seen Miss Davis' most recent picture and didn't know what to do next. I was afraid of Crawfords. For one-thing, I could never do the Charleston, or even the shag.

I saw Miss Crawford dance in her step-ins when I was a boy. It was in "Our Dancing Daughters," I believe. My father took me. This was the beginning of a lifelong crush on Miss Crawford, but I knew I could never deal with all that magnetism and vitality in the flesh. It wasn't only girls.

Millions of older i women were led into a graceful and promising middle age by Irene Dunne stately, composed; cool as diamonds, but with a hint of fires unbanked, of Back Streets yet to come. I was reflecting on this twilight of the goddesses the other morning in bed when my wife appeared in the doorway, in suit and hat. "I'm off to work," she said, pulling on her gloves. I realized she was Rosalind Russell. "I'm late.

Would you feed the dogs? And, oh yes, the cats." Later on I got up and fed the dogs. I didn't feed the cats, though. "Hell with the cats," I said. "Let 'em forage." I was Clark Gable. TODAY IN; PART IV DEAR ABBI Page 5 DR.

Carol Channing is the madcap widow, avid for all experience. James Fox, owlish and impish but More Than He Seems, is the boy friend. John Gavin, handsome beyond the dreams of womankind, is the boss. And since we need a period villainess, enter Bea Lillie as the scrutable and bumbling kidnapper for an Oriental white slave ring. (The innocence of the milieu being what it is, Miss Lillie could as well be collecting for the PTA.) Julie Andrews Sings For my private money, any film which assigns Julie Andrews to sing "Poor Butterfly" is halfway to heaven, right there, and I may as well admit it.

But in fact in "Millie" Miss Andrews is altogether superb enlarging, if this is possible, her eminence as the most beguiling singer-actress-comedienne around, and here she is operating again in the period she made her own in "The Boy Friend." She. has some moments as a camp vamp, 'with bee sting lips and swooping eyelids, which are a total joy to see. The music, which has done so Please Turn to Page 29, Col. 2 What it Is that lends the Roaring Twenties their peculiar and peppy fascination for us all, regardless of age, is hard to say.

However tids imagined or remem-J bered charm squares with the facts, the sense of a jazz baby past recaptured i3 what gives Ross Hunter's Universal production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" at its best a fresh-as-paint, cute-as-bees-knees, just swell enchantment. Re-creating Period In an odd, mirroring way, here is film re-creating a period whose legends the movies did a great deal to create in the first place; the American girl asserting her independence by sitting to take dictation, shortening her hair and her skirts, rouging her knees and setting her cloche cap for the Adonis-like boss in the Arrow collar. Then, too, there is the supporting world of poor little rich girls. Long Island houseparties, madcap widows, gigolos and cads, and scions in disguise, a kind of pre-jet set sporting about in open cockpit biplanes and, by land, red roadsters. It is all'there and more.

Julie Andrews is our Millie (and the translation of Julie from long-curled country lass to bobbed and mini-skirted Mod, a sequence running through the main starts the film with its best footage forward). 1 Mary Tyler Moore, trying to pay two-bit cabfares by check, is the Books, Boys Vietnamese AT Nagel, 5, who wi II be youngest rider in Children's Horse 5how April Teen-ager: BY WILLIAM TUOHY Timet Staff Writer ls I -J fib 11 i 3 1 (f yi I 1 i )i' IV s- J- 1 1 1 Cain, the man who couldn't bother to be his brother's keeper, has a new hiding1 place: America today.
