Tea For All Jaycee Wives
Planned For March 9; Plans
Made For Jaycee Convention
The slim-line dresses that are popular this season make perfect
basics. A girl who has a way with scarves could, if necessary,
build a week's wardrobe around one. This girl sparkles Monday-
morning efficiency (upper left) above a crisp white grosgrain
silk tie that's appliqued with gay daisies. For a Tuesday evening
social engagement (upper center), she wraps an oblong ribbed
sheer scarf fichu-fashion around her neck, fastening it at the
waist to emphasize the Empire waistline. Wednesday coffee hour
finds her (lower left) with another new look. This time she has
combined two 24-inch squares to create a distinguished jabot.
In a romantic mood one day, she wears a rose-garden 36-inch
square (lower center) as a bloused bolero. And for dramatic
effect on another occasion (right), she has draped a 36-inch
square from neck to fingertips, catching it at the waistline with
the dress belt. In this arrangement and in most others, effec-
tiveness depends on careful smoothing and fluffing of the material.
Seven Tables
Play Duplicate
Seven tables were in play at the
Duplicate Bridge Club meeting on
Tuesday evening in the Sky Room.
It was announced that next Tues-
day will be master-point night and
that refreshments will be served.
Winners were Mrs. A. J. Wim-
berly and Mrs. Fred Wimberly in
first place, Mrs. G. P. Williams
and Mrs. Hershel Gordon in sec-
ond, Mrs. Robert Allen Jr. and
Mrs. Ray Walker in third, Mrs.
James Tucker and Mrs. Bud Van-
Dever in fourth.

Mary Sinclair, Talented Young
Actress Deserts Movies For TV
NEW YORK, Feb. 11 — UP —
Mary Sinclair, the brunette that
blond gentlemen prefer, is back on
her home grounds—television—and
glad of it.
She's had her fill of one of those
fabulous seven-year movie con-
tracts.
The young woman who was a
top dramatic actress of television
—created by the medium a cou-
ple of years ago—is taking things
rather easy for the present with a
recurring role in an afternoon TV
"soap opera," and some people
seem to regard this as an indica-
tion that her career has run out of
steam.
"Actually, this is exaciiy the sort
of thing I need at present," the
pretty actress explained. "My mo-
ther was ill for a long time, I
was ill for six months and the
off my stride.
"Now I'm doing just what I want
to do at this stage. I have enough
work to keep me from going stale,
and it is so spaced that I have
plenty of time to study."
So far as Miss Sinclair is con-
cerned, her career is just getting

J. F. Wills Sees
New TV Receivers
J. F. Wills, Sweetwater dealer
for Hoffman Television sets, was
in Lubbock Thursday at a show-
ing of new 1954 TV models at the
Lubbock Hotel, in a presentation
by the Plains Distributing Co.
Dealers were told at the showing
that the first Hoffman Colorcaster
receivers would come off the pro-
duction line in about two months,
priced at $1,200 for a 12'/i inch
screen.
its second wind. She studies ballet,
voice, piano, acting and jazz danc-
ing, all with an eye to the future,
which, she hopes, includes the
stage. She wants to be able to do
anything.
There was a time, back when
Worthington Minor was the direct-
or of CBS-TV's famed "Studio
One" dramatic program, that Mary
seemed almost to be "Studio One"
dramatic program, that Mary
seemed almost to be "Studio One."
She played dramatic leads expert-
ly in show after show, and was
regarded as one of TV's few genu-
ine contributions to acting.
At the height of that career,
Paramount pictures signed her to
a long-termer which permitted her
to hold onto a three-year contract
she had signed with CBS, the first
such player contract in television.
"I turned at/vn the first picture
Paramount wanted me to do," she
said, "because it wasn't right for
me. I was suspended, naturally. I
went to Europe for a few months,
and when I got back the picture
people promised me big things in
a western called 'Arrowhead.'
"It was a terrible experience.
I've never seen the film and I
never want to. I felt it wasn't
right that a company could make a
person do thing* that would not
help his career. The option on my
contract had been taken up, but I
asked that I be released. It was
fortunate for me that this didn't
happen several years ago. My re-
quest was made at a time when
the studios were only too glad to
wash up their long contracts with
players.
"After that I also bowed out of
my CBS contract, which still had
a little over a year to go, because
the original idea of putting a solid
nucleus of important players un-
der contract hadn't worked out as
the network had hoped.
"All that sounds like I've been
living a 'soap opera' myself,
doesn't it? But I'm really quite
happy to be back now, working
just enough for the time being on
the 'woman with a past' serial for
CBS."
