Sylvia Telles goes to the U.S.A.

Sylvia Telles flew to New York with Aloysio de Oliveira. They met Adalgisa Colombo, Miss Brazil 1958, who had been living in the USA since she was the runner up to the Miss Universe competition in June 1958. She actually married Brazilian diplomat Jackson Flores and had a baby boy. Sylvia & Aloysio also also met orchestra conductor Leo Peracchi, another expatriate who'd been living in the USA for some time.

They left New York and drove in a car all the way to California which took them 10 days. They made a stop at Las Vegas, Nevada where they paid a visit to Leny Eversong who was the main attraction at the Thunderbird night club. It took them 2 days to get booked to see Leny in action.
