...Independence Avenue and a bottle-throwing fracas with police outside the shanty city. Arrests: 87. Even so, by toning down his demands to include those things that are within reach and by exaggerating his successes-he claims credit for several actions that the Administration would probably have taken anyway-Abernathy has also left open the door to retreat. Thus the marchers can leave with some claim to victory, though, sad to say, it is mostly illusory...
...hosted all-night negotiations at his Gracie Mansion residence. Finally, the surprise ending: settlement of the strike (terms: weekly wage increases of $15-$25, protection of U.S. actors against replacement by aliens) and reopening of all but three of Broadway's shows-which had been about to expire anyway.

...happy pair moves in anyway and-see how groundless Hutch's fears were?-the funny old couple next door welcomes them with open arms. Guy, who is an actor, loves to go over and listen to Roman Castevet (Sidney Blackmer) talk about old times. Rosemary is more attracted to a girl of her own age who lives with the Castevets-it is a pity when she commits suicide by jumping out of the window. After that tragedy, the lonely Castevets grow closer than ever to Rosemary and Guy, whose acting career is suddenly beginning to go very well indeed...
