...what is not inaccurately described on nights like this as the flesh. Squired by famed movie males these females dress in their sheerest best to attend the world premiere of a motion picture. Normally at a Hollywood opening only a handful of the really great attend. The rest cannot be bothered with the ghastly splendor of the ceremonies. But last week one and all turned out. They came in answer to the loudest, shrewdest ballyhoo ever raised in cinema's capital. Besides, they could ill afford to be absent. Admission, for the first time in Hollywood history...
