y' I A il fMJ.y Brces of Two World War PAQE FOUR POUGHKEEPSIE EAGLE NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17. 1942 A Woman's New York By ALICE HUGHES Column Day by day the story of nylon, the miracle fabric, approaches the miraculous. It's the darndest stuff. The other afternoon a pretty blonde doll named Adeline trey hopped outjf a plane 2.000 ieet over Connecticut and floated gently to earth on the first nylon parachute to be tested, later remarking that it was a happy landing and that she could only be happier if she saw her boy friend now in the Navy. Was the pretty blonde angle poor publicity? It was to make these rmrachutrs I Inst Ihe wonder fabric was snatched f( (CklfJ from the legs of the land.

This du WC "CLIVIC Pont synthetic, made of gas and oil and coal and fog and perhaps clga I retu butU. first appeared as under wear snd beautiful hosiery. No one has yH seen the equal of sheer seamless nylon stockings. When silk was cut oR from our ochre enemies, the stuff was commandeered to serve our enormous and growing air forces and It couldn't have a finer use. And now nylon appears In another guise.

In fashion, as a fleecy fabric already used In making rich sports coats of the casual type. The ones I've seen are simply beautiful. It Is soft to the touch, and looks very much like a fine type of camel's hair. A smart manufacturer recognized the unusual qualities of nylon fleece and put It to work In the style field. One of the most famous of the Fifth Avenue stores Is already selling them.

The maker also claims that the fleece acta as an Insulator, keeping Its wearer warm or cool, depending on the weather. It la also said to be water repellent. To add to the story book quality of the whole thing, this yarn la only a by product of the operation, being short ends usually tossed off as waste. Its qualities only came to light In the course of unsuccessful experiments to develop nylon velvet. No fiction writer could dope out a mora remarkable tale than the story of nylon, and It Is probable that fresh uses wlll.be found and devel oped all the tune.

OIRL ABOUT TOWN: Jane Pope. a perpetual glamor girl around the society saloons, had a bad night this week. She danced around the floor at El Morocco all evening with two large price tags pinned to the back of her new evening gown and not one of her pals was good enough to tip her off. Real chums. Oh well, the price was plenty high, so maybe she didn't mind too much when she learned about it at home There's rejoicing around the Metropolitan Opera offices, now that Its real Dream Prince, baritone Ezio Plnxa.

has been released after three months' Internment on Ellis Island. The enemy alien board paroled him, and he's back with his American wife, the former Doris Leak, and their year old daughter. Ezio will have to conform to good conduct rules, and the FBI will keep one eye on him. He could have been exchanged to Italy, as old actor Tulllo Carmlnatl was but Plnzo's new family made, his choice to remain obvious one, Be a good boy) Of course, no one la at all sure that there'll be a Met season next fall. SEERSUCKER: When I was a kid In New Hampshire I knew seersucker only as a fabric for summer skirts for my young brothers.

Now It ap rr. In our cotton summer, In love two piece suits for young girls about town. The material Is striped, and the suit has white detachable collar and cutis. Very pretty. JEAN OPENS UP: Jean Arthur has long been known, here and In Hollywood, as a Oarbo in a small way.

No parties, no Interviews, all privacy. Now she Is In town, and has suddenly opened up, even meeting the press now and then. She tells me one very bad fan magazine story some years ago drove her into her shelL I'm glad she's out again. for Jean la a dellglttful girl, and has plenty In her skull, too. We have just run off our annual poetry contest for school children, and first prize was won by Anna Cohen, IT.

Her winner Is called "Anna" and is remarkable for Its objectivity and because It imitates no older bard. Most kid poets Imitate the style and forma of such as Keats, and usually concerns such more mature subjects as Love or Death. The latter la the pet theme for all baby poets.

She yells at my children all the time, complaining they make too much noise and thst I dont know how to bring them up. She calls them brats and says If they were her children she would use more discipline and keep them Indoors. I tried to reason with her and I told her If she had children of her own she would feet differently. She ha two dogs that roam around at night, but she claims they are harmless.

Forgotten? He never did forget. Tricks, or anything. He never did forget his youth, or the Barrymore that was. Proof? A picture called "Playmates." In which John Barry more, the clown, had occasion lo recite a bit of Shakespeare. It was a bit of Shakespeare in the midst of clowning, of comedy The camera caught what happened: Barrymore, the clown, cried.

The critics, some of them, called It a maudlin scene. Perhaps It was. It happened as It was filmed, and the tears mere not In the script. It may be that the sequence should have been cut. But It was true, and those who self righteously condemned the John Barrymore of the later days may still take solace in It.

But I think John Barrymore, himself. If he ever saw that scene on the screen, must have passed It ofl with a wisecrack or a synlcal belch. There was never a man who lived so gaily, so completely, for the shining moment. Nor aiflan who took the consequences with such superlative control of the actor's greatest asset, front. The first time I saw John Barrymore he was still John the Magnificent.

Nearing 50. he was still the Oreat Lover, the Oreat Profile. He paraded magnificently. In his doublet and hone for "General Crack" discoursing with dignity and never a flash of ribald humor. This was the actor playing a part, a role In which there was no room for an outsider, even John Barrymore.

to Intrude A few years later, the clown, the self debunker, the chronic creator of comedy relief headlines, had taken over. Once I went up on the hill, to that typically Barrymorean house John had been told that this was It final curtain time "You stay around." he told an attendant, "and 111 give you the damndest death scene you ever saw." That was John, looking bark on a full rich performance, cocking an eye at a long anticipated, unfamiliar wrlpt.
