Today, Kelly is committed to directing The American Male, an irreverent look at the species by European women, and Tom Swift, a satirical treatment of derring-do in the early 1900s. Last week he began flexing his joints for a dancing stint on the Jackie Gleason Show. No barbell and wheat-germ addict, he simply runs around the block every morning, gradually increasing the laps until he feels the urge to go soft-shoeing all over the neighborhood...
Myrtle Walgreen was a farm-bred girl whose face had never known the tint of man-made coloring. One day in the early 1900s her pharmacist husband brought home some lipstick and rouge, dabbed a little on her, then urged her to show the new face in public. In Myrtle's ruby lips, Charles R.

Man's best efforts, Niebuhr reminded Christians, were flawed by sin; God's kingdom was not to come until...
Died. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, 82, Floradora Girl of the early 1900s and central figure in one of this century's most sensational crimes of passion; in Santa Monica, Calif. Sixteen, nubile and stagestruck, Evelyn arrived in Manhattan from Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1901, joined the chorus line, became the mistress of famed Architect Stanford White (Pennsylvania Station), and later married a weak-minded millionaire playboy named Harry K. Thaw-whom she goaded with lurid tales of her escapades with White. On June 25, 1906, Thaw walked up to White in a cabaret, and without a word put three bullets...
