THE 60S - THE GOOD LIFE



Peter Sellers


Sir Alec Guinness

The art of Sir Alec Guinness can only be described in superlatives. It's scope makes him one of the greatest character actors of our era. 

Some years younger, Peter Sellers, another englishman, is proving himself to be a worthy disciple of the man he consIders the Master. Quiet, soft spoken, almost self-effacing, both have the extraordinary quality of total absorption, of losing themselves in a role to create an entirely new identity.

The Good Life




THE EYES OF PABLO
MELVIN SOKOLSKY






For anyone who likes to taste, see, smell, feel, to be jarred occasionally, to laugh often, to sense their own life and that of others, New York is a festival. To those who come, or come through our pages, greetings to the Fair, the city and Bazzar.


THE EYES OF PABLO
MELVIN SOKOLSKY

The dazzling faces above: petal smooth and almond eyed, and dripping wet with delight are the makeup fancies of Pablo of Elizabeth Arden, an Italian who has an eye that is as sure as his talent. Pablo is mad about eyes, exaggerated eyes; he draws them bigger, rounder, with a cat's eye glow that widens out with expression.
