Although the Chanel styles never stray far from Founder Coco's ideal of refinement, this season's collection caused controversy. Designed by Disciples Jean Cazaubon and Yvonne Dudel, the line ran to vaporous chiffon gowns, gored skirts, lingerie-style blouses. But instead of the calf-length skirt that other couturiers adopted, Coco's designers raised the hemline to just below the knee. In the eyes of Syndicated Critic Eugenia Sheppard, that "broke the charm of those once magic proportions...
CALUCCI'S DEPT. CBS. Friday, 8-8:30 p.m. E.D.T. New York Stage and Film Actor James Coco (Last of the Red Hot Lovers) has the mournfully expressive eyes of a wise old beagle and the roundly appealing face of an anemone in full flower. As Calucci, the head of a local unemployment office, he mobilizes these attributes to create a sweet and believable character who does not need the script's occasional overkill in what the trade calls "heart" scenes.

(In its first episode last week, Lotsa Luck stretched Bunker bluntness into common vulgarity with a plot that revolved entirely around a purple-lidded, tangerine-colored toilet.) Just as DeLuise contends with his crotchety/lazy/dumb family relations, James Coco as CBS'S Calucci is plagued by his crotchety/lazy/dumb staff at the local unemployment department, and Norman Fell, on NBC'S Needles and Pins, suffers crotchety/lazy/ dumb family relations and employees in his garment factory...
Before the Watergate scandal broke open, nearly every morning a precisely attired man walked into Coco's, a restaurant in the rich resort town of Newport Beach, Calif. Sitting down at the same corner table, he picked up the morning newspaper and began sipping his coffee. After a polite pause, he was approached by local businessmen and politicians, who, one by one, stated their business, received their reply, and moved on so the next man could have a chance. The ritual sometimes took as long as 2½ hours...
