Last week New York's W'hitneys, Sloans, Rockefellers and 850 other guests turned out to dine & dance at Manhattan's Hotel Plaza at a $50-a-plate party (the proceeds went to cancer research) to celebrate the golden anni-ersary of the store...
...girl-crazy old hell-raiser for a few sad appearances. He still lassoes his prey with diamond necklaces ("You certainly know my Achilles' heel, Mr. Benson"), buys yachts ("How many does it-er-sleep?"), invests in mink ("She got it by going 'brrrr' in front of Bergdorf's").

At a broadcasting studio they laughed their heads off at Eddie Cantor. They arrived at Lady in the Dark 25 minutes late, chatted with Gertrude Lawrence in her dressing room. He wore out reporters in a fast five...
