BAL. 30c AFTER 6.

2 2 IN THEIR MORNING mail, many of the Hollywood correspondents received an invitation to a cock-tail guzzling at Ciro’s in honor of Miss Landis, “America’s selection for the title of the Ping Girl—because she makes you purr.” The correspondents got a sardonic chuckle from. the sheer goofiness of the stunt, but they did not immediately. dash. for typewriters and telegraph offices to apprise a war-worried world about Carole. Besides, they were a little annoyed by the inference that they, of all the people in America, had not been consulted about the choice of a Ping Girl. Quite a lot of them would have voted for Rita Hayworth. So there were a lot of approving nods next morning when a large, paid announcement signed by Miss Landis appeared in both local trade papers. It was phrased as an apology to the press and said that she would not be present at { her own reception. It declared that she had never been consulted about the scheme and that she disapproved the title which was to have been conferred. This attitude was confirmed by . subsequent telephone calls from embarrassed-sounding publicists who told everybody that the soiree at Ciro’s had been canceled. It was also made clear that Miss Landis had flounced into seclusion | and was dictating letters Yo almost all the newspapers on the Soptmenk explaining that she was 3 ; a “fugitive from a leg-art career.” : \ She asked them not so print anything about the Ping Girl business and, pretty please, to destroy all bathing-suit photos of hergelr
