Stars of the 1949 Christmas doll
parade are so lifelike they would
fool even a mother.
The newest edition of the baby
doll cries, talks, breathes and has
an almost human skin in addition
to its earlier accomplishments of
eating, wetting and blowing bub
bles. So much like real babies are
these prima donnas of toyland
that little girls who own them will
have sound training for future
roles as mothers.
Mommy’s Baby, a startlingly
lifelike baby doll, cries “mama”
with clear enunciation of syllables
when the body or legs are patted.
This realistic baby cry is achieved
by a plastic voice box designed
on the principle of the human
larynx.
There’s a new kind of talking
I
doli which laughs, cries, coos and
carries on an animated conversa
tion by means of a phonograph
record concealed in the body.
When the key is wound the doll
produces realistic baby talk for
several minutes.
The Dydee doll comes this year
equipped with a diaper can and
a nurse’s outfit complete with rub
ber gloves for the small mother.
Complete paraphernalia for mix
ing a formula also is available.
Little girls can now try out new
hairdos on a new doll which
comes with a home permanent
wave kit. A new kind of nylon
wig is used which is chemically
treated to withstand frequent (
waving.
Portrait dolls, fashionably cos
tumed, are packed in shadow
boxes designed to be permanent

in the number of boy dolls this
year. The juvenile enthusiasm for

trunks. Brother and sister dolls
also are popular.
Whole miniature families are
available to tenant the elaborate
new doll houses of the season,
some of which have electric lights
and modern architecture.
