Character Hints

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 23 (UP)It's very simple to analyze =n man's character at sight, Gordon MacRae believes, Just take a look at how he holds up his pants.

Men, according to Mr. MacRae, are of three types: Those who wear suspenders, those who wear belts, and those who wear both. “Now I'm a susupender man myself, and proud of it,” said Mr. MacRae, twanging them with his thumbs. In his Warner Bros. movie, “Somewhere in the City." he goes coatless for all the world to see.
