C., Aug. 2100— Mipiana Stevenson used to sit in of her mirror and cry be- ¢ ishe, thought she was ugly. But that was when she was 10. Now, at 21, this self-styled ugly ‘duckling is acclaimed the most beautiful girl in the world. The freckles which made her tearful at 10 turned into an asset sag helped win her the title of /Miss U. S. A., as the most whole- femme American, beauty; and led to her selection as Miss Universe. | How dees ome grow an American beauty? . That was the question put to Miriam’s parents, Mr. and Mrs, Leonard Stevenson, The recipe seems: to be: Take a normal little girl), give her a happy rural child: hood and! lots of buttermilk, healthy f of fun and family love and let nature take its course. Locating the prosperous Steven- son farm with its one-story frame house is no problem at all to a stranger—everyone in these parts knows the Stevetisons. Tf you tried to classify Miriam, you’d probably put her down as an outdoor girl, Yet even before she began school she had learned to sew and cook, and has designed and made nearly all her own clothes since she was halfway through gram- | Her prizes include a chance at movie stardom—a contract at Uni- versal-International for six weeks jat $250 weekly. For this she will postpone her senior year in col- lege. And the studio says she also will give up her southern accent. “Now that will be something,” /mused her 56-year-old father, “‘un- léss Miriam is willing. She's al- prvche been right determined about things.” ‘er she does in Hollywood will be her first real professional although com- age in beauty contests has given excellent stage presence and She never appeared in school plays but did have parts in a couple of pageants at Lebanon Presbyterian Church up the road from the Stevenson farm. Last year she had a short turn at sum- mer stock in the North Carolina mountains, too. As might be expected from the Stevensons think Miriam is just about as good as daughters come. © ih\"' “She was, always, willing,” says The Bla: Forest - 7:30 & 11:15 Hoodlum Empire - 9:37 “La Conca Hort SUNDAY SPECIAL Complete Dinner at. $1.25 CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP or HOT BEEF CONSOMME Broiled Salisbury Steak « . » Virginia Baked Ham, Raisin Sauce t Roast Sirloin of Beef, Mushroom Satce Fried Filet of Grouper Grilled Pepper Steak Roast Loin of Pork, Apple Sauce | Child's Plate: Beef-Ham — Choice of: Jello — Ice Cream — Sherbet Coffee or Tea CHEF'S SUGGESTIONS: 3 Roust Turkey, Cranberry Sauce $2.00 Roast Long Island Duck, Dressing = 2.00 her mother, “always helpful, never mn A . i inoktitm toys and bd “Of course. we hélp her, but she likes to make hér own way,” her father put. in. “Always has, as a matter of fact.” Other than playing the clarinet in the high school band, Miriam’s interest in the arts has been con- fined to dtess designing. |“Pinocchio” Opens Sunday’ At Strand The showing at the Strand of Walt Disney’s “‘The Wonderful Ad- ventures of Pinocchio” in Techni- color is a really big’movie event. This is one of Walt's classics of all time screen history, the other all- cartoon features in Technicolor in- eluding “Snow White and the Sev- en. Dwarfs,” “Bambi,” “Fanta- sia,” “Dumbo,” “Cinderella,” “Pe- ter Pan” and “‘Alice in Wonder- land.”” ‘As with all Walt Disney produc- tions, whether feature or short- length, the music for “Pinocchio” follows the pattern of light opera. All of the Songs further the plot ra- ther than furnish merely a musi- cal interlude. Leigh Harline wrote the music and Ned Washington the lyrics for six songs, Théy are “Little Wood- enhead,” sung by the woodcarver, “Geppetto; “When You Wish Upon a Star,” sung by Jiminy Cricket at the opening of the Picture, acting | as a theme strain; “Got No Strings,” sung by Pinocchio when he becomes. an actor in Stromboli’s show; “Give a Little Whistle,” an- other song by Jiminy; “Hi-diddle- dee-dee, an Actor’s Life for Me,” sung by J. Worthington Foulfel- low, the Fox and “Turn on the Old Music Box.” Besides these six songs the story and music collaborates on some novelty effects, such as the sym- phonies of the clocks and the music boxes. The Disney imagination found plenty of inspiration in the adven- tures of “Pinocchio” ag written by Carlos Lorenzini, who wrote under the name of C. Collodi. The characters required to tell Pinocchio’s story range from real- ity to fancy. Among the creature figures, Jiminy Cricket plays the lead, because of his gay personal- ity, his efforts to he Pinochio’s con- science, and his red umbrella. Jim- iny has a large speaking role and the villains (the Fox and the Cat) are also endowed with speech, but- the two pets of Geppetto, Figaro the Kitten and Cleo the Goldfish find silence with gestures more tell- ing than words. Nor does Monstro the Whale need words to help hi: ereate terror. Another importani character is the Blue Fairy. The adventures of Pinocchio are animated against. backgrounds of a toymaker’s fascinating workshop, a waterfront inn where thieves. and fogues hang out, and an island where the mountains are made of ice eream cones and the rivers of lemonade, and where pie,» popcorn, and other delectables grow on treés. In the Northeast and Far West sections of the United States. more than 98 per cent of babies are born in hospitals.
