Faddishness Docs A Disappearing Act In 'Today's Best Fashions

THE DAILY' BANNER AND HERALD CONSOLIDATED

By Natalie Gittelson The most distinguished and exciting culture - cum-fashion event of winter took place last week in New York with the long-awaited opening of the Lincoln Center Repertory Theater. Arthur Miller, America's greatest and most talked-about playwright, had written his first play in nearly a decade, “After The Fall.” Elia Kazan, America’s most brilliant director, had staged it.

Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson herself came to see it. She wore a long strapless black silk dress, a few strands of pearls, and a simple street-length mink coat. Lauren Bacall (the wife of Jason Robards Jr., tvho is the play’s star) wore a slender gown embroidered all over with silver heads and cut on top as simple as a 19r>0 bathing suit. Gloria Y'anderbilt wore tailored blue brocade. The president of a legendary American fashion store wore a long green woolen evening coat, empire waisted. Night after night, in the huge, splendid, circus-like amphi-thea-ter in Greenwich Village which is the Repertory Theater’s home-away-from-home until Lincoln Center’s own Vivion Beautmont Theater reaches completion, the best-dressed women in the country gather for one of the most memorable events in modern theater. One is struck most by the timeless quality of the clothes they wear. Almost everything you see at “After The Fall," from the First Lady's immaculately simple black crepe evening dress to a magazine editor's short sil-ver-and-raspberry brocade cardigan coat, would have been just-as-good fashion ten years ago and will be just-as-good fashion CARD OF 'MANKS I wish to thank Dr. Veach, the hospital staff, and all my friends for their kindness during my stay in the hospital.

ten years from now! Fashion— especially in the higher echelons - has altogether escape from the faddishness (as well as the slavery to season) by which you could once tell the month, the year, and surely the decade. It is fascinating to observe that the clothes on stage, all designed by the immensely talented Anna Hill Johnstone, prove the same point over and over again. Arthur Miller has written a stirring and stunning play in which the action encompasses the thirty years just past. But without any attempt to distort the fashion realiies of the 30's, 40's or 50's, all the clothes are now. The Marilyn Monroe character (as everybody knows by now, Mr. Miller’s play is frankly and unflinshingly autobiographical) appears in some of the best and most breathtaking fashion seen on stage in some time. Everything from a pale mink coat with a —low-cut collar, buttoned once on top to a bare little backless cafe-au-lait silk chemise bound with silk cord beneath the bosom and around the waist. (This will bring back one-piece underwear with a bang.) Barbara Loden. the new, luminous star who plays Maggie, is slender, fragile and quite young. She conjures up Marilyn Monroe by an act of art rather than verisimilitude. But the whiteblonde wig and the baby-doll clother she wears help no end. Witness a straight little pink knit suit with a white fur sailor collar and muff: a gold lame evening dress slit to the knee at the side and to the waist in back: a totally transparent peignoir (worn over that chemise), tied under the breasts and flying free in btek; a penny-plain black sheath set off with white silk jersey nightgown with a loose cowled throat and long, full sleeves that somehow manages to appear heartbreaking; and— perhaps the piece de resistance— a fitted wedding gown of ecru organdie and lace, knee-length, appliqued with falling leaves, and worn beneath a gathered organdie overskirt. All of these clothes datelined 1950-something are sensational fashions (in or out of the theater) right now! NET STHnOT LE Friday .

FISH HAVE TAILS Fish have tails. They swim away from hot spots. Speaking of hot spots. Capt. Art LaRocque who fishes out of the Miss Judy Dock at Johns Pass, may have uncovered a likely area off Indian Rocks Beach. He was there yesterday with Maurice McCullough and Mike Myers, both of Terre Haute, Ind. They caught 56 trout, th “ big majority of them speckled sea trout rather than silver trout. Others there did well, so this may be the spot to be if the wind gives the anglers a chance to fish comfortably in the Gulf. Mrs. Judy Fiers at the Miss Judy Dock said that the grouper fishing appears to be getting better. The Miss Judy boat had a fine catch of black grouper Wednesday in only 38 feet of water.
