Bells Are Ringing (book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green; music by Jule Styne), to put first things first, brought Judy Holliday back to Broadway after six years in Hollywood. Moreover, it brought her back-not least because of her own presence in it-in a very likeable show. The Judy Holliday who started her career in nightclubs shines readily in a musical.

Small production outfits are multiplying, and such major studio chiefs as Darryl Zanuck and Jerry Wald have recently quit their jobs to form independent companies...
Scampering aboard a plane in Los Angeles, impulsive Judy Spreckels, 24, ex-wife of Sugar Daddy Adolph B. Spreckels Jr., was soon in Memphis and the offices of the daily Press-Scimitar. She had learned that a photograph, made last month in Las Vegas, showing her with dreamboat Groaner Elvis ("Hi luh-huh-huh-huv-huv yew-hew") Presley, 21, had appeared in the newspaper, and she had hopped to Tennessee to buy some copies of that edition. Was she in luh-huh-huh-huv with Presley (TIME, May 14)? "Oh, no, he's too young," cooed Judy...
