Good Company For 57's Fashions

Thig spring) eloclie hats and Chanel suite have brought out hair- do: that are good company for the new fashions.

They're shorter. softer and cut closer to the head. They're neith- pr gamin nor wind-blown but lady- like and feminine in the same way that new clothes are reminiscent of the clothes of the l930's.

The "C" line is on that sweeps back from the foerhcad and curls 1...-ward prettlly on the cheeks. it's ideal for the new beta but equally good when you're not wearing a hat. The "C" line is the kind of harido that can be based on a quick home permanent. one with clear lotion that gives both body and curl. The result will be a lasting wave but one that is not tight.

When you pick such a home

permanent. pick the one in the"

right strength for your hair: regu- lar. super or gentle.

Eitnock The Rock Ivan!

MOSCOW AP -- Young Com- munists wcre told this week rock 'ni roll should be avoided like the plague. but that American jazz is all right when performed by art- ists such as Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.

Rock 'n' roll. said the Commun- Isl youth ncwspapcr Komsomol Pravda. is nothing but discordant "sounds of the atomic age." and is an assault on tired nerves.

For several weeks the Soviet press has been debating penetra- tion of the Communist world by American popular music. Critics now have moged from sweeping condemnation to an effort to dis- tinguish bctwecn had and good.

will calypso knock thc rock? some London record columnists are predicting that thc Wcst-In- riian style. with its clever lyrics and intricate rytlims. will grow in popularity. But other experts in the field disagree.

"I just can't scc Ii." wrote Pat Brand. editor of Britain's leading musical newspaper Melody Maker. He laid down two prevailing rules for a musical craze. First. it must have a solid beat. Second. you don't have to bother about the words. "And." he commented. "calypso breaks both."

The Platters. a rock 'n' roll vo- cal group now touring Britain. ac- knowledge the strength of calyp- so - but don't think it will go as far as rock 'n' roll. "Can you see the kids. quetu.-in up and going crazy for it" asked onc of them.

Trinidad - born boogic pianist Winifred Atwcll speaks hopefully of a calypso vogure. "I'd like to see it happen." she said. "I was brought up with the music and I love it. But I cani' see a rcai craze in England."

RID OF ROCK

Singer Pearl Bailey. with A sigh. "We're ready to got rid of rock 'n' roll. In New York today every amarl room has a calypso singer.

Rock 'n' roll king Bil lialcy cun- codes that calypso may be the rage In New York. but adds: "Where else Dotson. Clcvclnnd. Pittsburgh-these arc thc towns You breeak in hit records. Calypso I think it's already on the way out."

Publicity man Lcs Perrin does not tttink calypao will get the kids "who flung themselves on the Ha- ley wagon." But he adds. "the public always has the final and conclusive word on these things."

At the moment there are only three catypao's to nine rock numb- era in Britain's top 30 best selling records. All three are different re- cordings of one tune-The Banana Boat Song.

In spite of pessimistic predic- tions record companies and sheet music publishers are preparing for I crane.

ALBERTON HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Classes have been rcsumcd at A.H.S. after the Easter holidays which were rather short this year for most of the students. It has been rumoured that the final ex- ams for Grades it and 12 will be held during the last week of May. This has caused the students to rush to the nearest calendar to count the number of days before the exams. The students will begin to burn the midnight oil within a few days.

The monotony oi regular classes was broken on Tuesday afternoon when "A tale of Two Cities" was shown in the Grade ii classroom. This film was of intcrcst to the Grade 12 class as it is being studi- ed by them this year. It is planned to show "Julius Caesar" later in the month. Special thanks should be given to the Dept. of Education which is making these films avail- able for the High Schools.

Perry Como. tabbed "The nic- est guy in television," appeared at Maple Leaf Gardens to star in the annual Easter Seals show for crippled children. Here is the con- cluding chapter on his story.

New York, April 13-Pierrino Ronald Como. a graying 44-year- old with a melting baritone voice, is sitting on top of the entertain- ment world today.

But just 14 years ago. P e r r y Como was half a step away from taking up the shears as a barber again in hometown Canonsburg. Pa.,- largely because of the lone- ly look on a child's face.

Como had been a band vocalist for I0 years. For seven years he'd been doing one-night stands. theatre dates, ctc., with Ted Weems' well-known band.

One night in New Orleans. leav- ing after rehearsal, he saw the young son of a fellow band member sitting waiting. with a

esigned. lonely look on his face.

"That made me stop and think." Perry told me. "Our own child. Iton, was just a few months old at the time. It was discour- aging. l was going along without really getting anywhere. kind of life was that for a iam- ily?"

About that time Weeins broke up his band to enter the Coast Guard. Como was making 3125 4 week-better pay than most har- bera had in the early '40's. But he'd had enough.

"We went back to Canonsburg I had other offers from bands. But they would he the s ame thing. I couldn't see it for my family." Perry said.

He was just about ready to set up a barber shop when a call came from his agent. Tom Rock- .well of General Artists Corp. in I New York. He offered Perry 8100 'a week- 320 a day-for a five-a- ' week radio show.

l, Perry's wife urged him: "You tran always go back to the barber ishop if this doesn't work out."

And. says Como. "I new at least we'd be settled in one place." He took the job. That was the turn- ing point.

The Supper Club was to be

his

broadcasting home until I955. and Frank Sinatra had paved the way for the singer craze. When Como hit New York. he

Tnocked them dead at the giant Copacabana night ciiih and the Paramount Theatre. llis string of rccord successes started with "Goodby. Sue." played over and over in every army camp.

How successful he is today can be gauged by the jobs he can turn down. begrudging the time which would be lost to his family. I-Zach summer he rejects a.four- week theatre date at 860000 a week or 50 per cent of gross-which could mean 5400.000 for the four weeks. lie doesn't he vs the lime to take up movie offers He turned down 550,000 a week at a his Vegas gambling joint. But it's been a long haul for the boy who was the seventh son of 13 children of Pietro and Lucia ('omo. who had it 335.00
