Smiley (March 1953)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   This continues discussion of the pictograph known as the "smiley."  It's authorship was credited to the late Harvey Ball (who drew it in the 1960s).
   "Smiley" is in an ad in the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 10 March 1953, pg. 20, cols. 4-6.  See for yourself.
   The ad is for the film LILI, with the "delightful" Leslie Caron.  The "World Premiere Today" is at the Trans-Lux 52nd on Lexington.  The film opened nationwide, and this ad possibly ran in many newspapers.
