Though Sing. Muse! launched his professional self-amusement, Segal winces at any suggestion that he set out from the beginning to make a show-biz name for himself. "I wasn't knocking on anybody's door or having agents submit my goodies to people. Negative! Negative! Negative! I began my theatrical career by accident in the Leverett House dining hall...

...Broun, who was fired. When it carried Walter Winchell's "Beau Broadway" column in the 1920s, the Telegraph was studied as closely as Variety at Broadway restaurants such as Sardi's and Lindy's. Even in recent years the paper kept five staffers on the show-biz beat. One of the most popular writers in the 1950s was Columnist Tom O'Reilly, who used to write a Monday piece.

...overamplification provided by the jungle of microphones in front of the stage, September Song can be an enjoyable evening.

Last June Frank Sinatra announced his retirement from the world of show biz in characteristically theatrical fashion, crooning to a wet-eyed audience at a Los Angeles charity gala the last line from Angel Eyes: '"Scuse me while I disappear." Well, maybe not quite yet. Sinatra's announced plans-to "write a little bit"-may be put off by his appearance in another film, a musical based on Antoine de Saint Exupery's fairy tale, The Little Prince. The book is about a "little man" who convinces a pilot downed in the desert that life is worth...

...Bull Gets The Matador Once In A Lifetime takes place not in the streets of Pamplona but in the sun-baked living-rooms of Manhattan Island, and the subject matter--well, that's show biz. Specifically, it's all about Casey, a 25-year-old comedienne out to win an audience at the expense of family, lovers and good sense. Gina Heiserman has this strenuous part, which demands not only the lead in every scene but excruciating comedy routines delivered straight to the audience, reminiscent of Lauren Bacall's opening in Applause. She is the continually frustrated joker, reminiscent...
