Sabrina's scrapbook has a cutting relating to the "Sabrina Purse" horse race from The Times Picayune, New Orleans, LA., so it's likely she attended the event.

" PAJAMA TOPS " COMING TO THE AMERICAN THEATRE FOR 15 NIGHTS STARTING FRIDAY

One of Great Britain's most gloriously endowed personalities, the lovely Sabrina, is co-starred with Richard Vath in "Pajama Tops" coming to the American Theatre, St Louis, for 15 nights beginning Friday evening, January 15th.

Sabrina has won international fame through a score of radio, television, supper club and personal appearances. Having appeared in the original Colgate Comedy Hour, she also appeared with great success on the Jerry Lester and the Jackie Gleason Shows.
In "Pajama Tops" Sabrina plays the mistress of a French businessman who is invited to the gentleman's villa in Deauville by his trusting wife who has been told that he has a business associate in Bayeux.

The wife is surprised to find that the business associate is the attractive Sabrina. She complicates matters further when she hires Sabrina's real husband as a butler. Meanwhile, a fun-loving male friend of the husband turns up and the complications become many and comic.

"Pajama Tops" is an adaptation by Mawby Green and Ed Feilbert of the French farce "Moumou" by Jean de Letraz, and is directed by Richard Vath.

Sharing the laughs in the comedy with Sabrina and Richard Vath are William Browder, Don McArt, Maralyn Turner, Sandra Gayle and Robert Osborne.

"Pajama Tops" will be presented at the American Theatre for 15 nights only — Friday, January 15, through Saturday, January 30. Monday through Thursday performances are at 8:30; Sunday, January 17th; at 8:30; and two performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:15 and 9:45. There are no matinees.

June's Double
They searched five continents, then returned to England for a home-grown beauty to replace June Wilkinson (43-20-36) in the American stage musical Pajama Tops. Equally-famous, If slightly smaller (42-18-35) is her replacement — Sabrina. Here, said June Wilkinson: "Those odd inches between us made a difference. When Sabrina tried on my costumes, they didn't fit."

Oooh! I could just scratch her eyes out. Sabrina disputes their relative bustworthy dimensions. See the Battle of the Blondes .

Guess who? It's Sabrina.

It's been a long time since anyone heard of her. She was snapped at London Airport on her way to the U.S. for a three-months' tour with a play.

Sabby showed she has lost none of her flamboyance - that's a leopard-skin coat she was "spotted" wearing.

Sabrina 'snatch'

PERTH. Tuesday. — A N.S.W. lifesaver "souvenired" a £75 portrait of actress Sabrina from the wall of a hotel bar in Perth.
Today, the lifesaver, 33 year-old Andrew John Dawson, told the Perth Magistrate, "I was taking it back to Sydney.
"I didn't know it was worth that much or I would not have touched it."
The magistrate dismissed the charge against Dawson, of Hopetown Street, Bulli, because of his previous good character.
Two Victorian lifesavers who lay on the road in Perth, stopped cars and shouted at drivers were both fined £3 for disorderly conduct.

Spurgeon Man of Year Choice

William H. Spurgeon III, who founded the Explorer Scout program in 1959 and so extended the Boy Scout program to older boys, is the Orange County Press Club's Man of the Year.

He was honored at the Press Club's traditional Head-liners Awards banquet at the Santa Ana Elks Clubhouse, where the men who write the news honured those who made it. More than 300 members and guests cheered lustily as Spurgeon got his plaque from Jimmy (Schnozzle) Durante, who then entertained.

They whistled when actresses Sabrina , a stunning blonde, and brunet Juli Redding showed their talents in a share-the-stage act with nightclub singer June Rudell. Songwriter Johnny Mercer also was a playing guest on the program arranged by Jim Dean of Santa Ana.
