Garland To Open Season Judy Garland, who opens the summer season at the Greek Theater Thursday evening, June 27, is a theatrical personality repie-senting many facets of this art.

VALLEY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1957 8 By AUXE MOsBY Cnited Press Hollywood Correspondent A young New York designer who made Jayne Mansfield's neckline famous accuses Liberace and Elvis Presley of fouling up his campaign to get men into more interesting clothes. "Liberace and Elvis have set men's fashions back 20 years, fumed Elgee Bovee, at 22 one of the country's top designers. When you try to get men to wear more interesting clothes theyre afraid of appearing feminine. Liberal's frilly shirts with gobs of lace kill mens wear.

Most of these new clothes I designed for myself (he gets an award in Chicago June 20 as one of the countrys best-dressea executives). I had so many requests for copies that I'm manufacturing my clothes for national distribution.
