Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovola
__ MEN, IF YOU have everentertaified the no—
tion to grow a mustache, forget it. Women do not like lip vegetation. We must hasten to add that it's Indianapolis women who don't like mustaches. Hollywood women - think differently. Adolph Pagano, Hollywood beauty expert, reported that a recent survey showed “women are going crazy over men with mustaches.” I must confess that when I read the dispatch from the beauty capital, my upper lip (unfuzzed) curled with disdain. And it frightened me to think that Indinapapolis women might ‘ ‘go crazy.” A raucous voice within me cried, “Find out what the score is.’ Arming myself with two photographs of Bob Hope, one showing El Roberto with a cookie duster and the other as he is, the Great Lover, strong of chin and limb, virile, a man’s man. I went forth to see if Mr. Pagano knew what he was talking about. (Incidentally, the beauty expert didn't say whether he had a mustache, or not.) » > IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to quote all the ladies I talked to about mustaches. Several were so revolted at the question, “Do you prefer men with mustaches?” that I thought bodily harm would come to me. Vivid in my mind is the woman w ho threatened to call a policeman when I asked her the - question. Several merely turned up their noses and said, “Certainly not.” It is significant that of the more than 50 I approached, not a one © wanted anything to do with mustaches. One girl said the only man she liked with a mustache

It Happened Last Night

NEW YORK, Nov. 8—One midnight a month ago I leaned against the bar of the Samoa Club on Fifty-second St: hoping to pass the time of night with Lili St. Cyr. Lili's the famous $1000-a-week exotic a brainy babe. ; As she was oozing by on her

“It's against the rules to talk T.§ to customers,” she said, and wriggled free. “Can I telephone you?” asked. “Certainly! The price of my b phone number is $150, lunch $200, cocktails $250, dinner $300." Such materialistic thoughts offended his finer sensibilities, inasmuch as he was broke, Lili then smiled and said, “Better yet-—tomorrow night just send me two roses.” “Wonderful!” he said brightly, and full of ‘hope. “And pat -a-$100—bitt around the stem of each one,” Lill said.

wis her grandfather, I don't think we should count that an aflirmative vote. > Mr. Pagano, please read the opinions of the following Indianapolis women and then take another survey on the West Coast. My questioning procedure in every case was to ask a member of the “weaker” sex if she preferred a man with a mustache. Then I asked why. Most of the time they didn't know. Then I whipped ‘out my photographs of Bob Hope.” If public opinion means anything, Mr. Hope will never raise a mustache. Here we go: Mrs. Kirk McMillan, 5034 Broad“TI don’t like a mustache of any Kind on a IT just don’t like them. Clark Gable is the Oh, Bob Hope looks horrible with

She's the sister of Dardi Orlando Minsky of Chicago, another celebrated dancer. “But that $150 phone number routine?” I asked her. “Oh, it was just a good stall,” Lili said. “If it happened to be a man I didn’t want to be bothered with, I'd tell him that, and he'd go away with his poor little ego so crushed he'd never look at me again. “But if it was a man I DID want to be bothered with, I didn’t charge. “In fact,” she said, “my fiance néver paid me for the last two numbers!”
