It is much more convenient to wear a short dress than to trail a long evening gown in and out of public vehicles. These new frocks are as glamorous as possible, and three of them are Illustrated above. At the left is a frock of dull black crepe that has a contrasting front of ice blue satin with large sequin buttons in the same shade. It is modeled by Faye Emerson as is the one shown right which is black crepe with a top of white moire striped in black velvet. The high collar is finished with a tailored bow of the fabric, and the long tight sleeves and belt are of black crepe. Alexis Smith, center, models a black crepe skirt [ t >pped with a cyclamen short-sleeved blouse which is solidly encrusted with embroidery and sequin trim.

Paul Small, got the shock of his life on Christmas Day. He's in New York and Estelle told him to cal! her at Sue Carol's and Alan Ladd's house While the trio were opening gifts, the Christmas wrappings went swoosh up the chimney and set fire to the roof of the Ladds' house. Just at that moment. Small called from New York. Estelle answered the phone and yelled excitedly. "Call back later I've got to ring the fire department! The bouse is on fire!" Glad to hear that Georgia Carroll. a fellow Texan, but no relation. finally is going to get a de- 1 served break. Georgia visited an Army camp with Kay Kyser's band and sang two numbers Now Kay has signed her for a ■tries of phonograph recordings. Roy Rogers has turned down offers for a spring rodeo tour. He ' would have to be on the road during March and April and this is about the lime when th* cowboy star and his wife ar* expecting their first babv Their three-year-old daughter to | m adopt child.

Mark Kellinger discovered one of the studio writ, era in rapt contemplation of tha beauties. "What are you here for?" he asked. "Well, if you really want to know,” said the unabashed scribbler. "I’m doing research for my next 12 dreams." Don't be surprised if the "Black Magic” dance number in 'Thank Your Lucky Stars" is Vera Zorina's last screen work for the duration. She is terribly upse» over the tragic death of her grandfather, who recently waa murdered in Norway by the Nazi*. The star has bowed out of her role in Paramount's "Hostages" and has intimated to the studio that she isn’t interested in pictures. j HOLLYWOOD PARTY LINE: English Star Anna Lee. who just appeared in "Unconquered." is driving to and from the studio In a 1928 coupe for which she paid 8100 It isn't fancy but it gets more than 20 miles to the gallon. . . .
