Photograph caption dated December 6, 1950 reads "Gown modeled by Arlette Martine gets approving smiles from (left to right) Art Ryon, Al Montgomery and Herbert Stone. Or are those leers? And are they meant only for the gown? Jane Davis, owner of Jane Davis women's shop, 10130 Riverside Dr., Toluca Lake, is glad smiles are approving, anyway, because the gown is included in her Christmas stock and was shown during Christmas preview last Friday."
